Visited Arandas in Cypress on Huffmeister for a quick breakfast and it was great! Enjoyed eggs and sausage and we also tried their omelet. Price was perfect and the service was excellent!

I didn't get to check the restrooms but I assume there's only a baby changer in the women's. The place has changed a lot since I last visited the building. Before, it was a home style American restaurant and now it's taqueria arandas! The food was pretty good. The 2 person fajita portion seemed a little small but maybe it was the platter that made it look small. The tortillas were not my favorite. Both the corn and flour tortillas were very thin. The flour tortillas were not made in house, and if they were they were the thinnest homemade tortillas I ever did see. One person at the table had a fajita torta and they said it was tasty. The fajita/parrillada plate came with charro beans (soup), a serving of ensalada (diced jalapeños, shredded lettuce) and a serving of rice. The rice was a little more moist than I'm used to but the flavor was alright. They do have delicious aguas frescas! Horchata (a sweet rice milk; it is not milk thick nor a shake), piña (pineapple), Jamaica (a sweet fruit), and sometimes watermelon. The piña was really good and the horchata was really yummy. I would go back. The service was pretty good. The green salsa is HOT but has great taste. We will return. read more

We ordered chile con queso And just by the smell projecting off of the cheese it was terrible! We initially thought the cheese went bad but it was actually severely burnt in the pot. We told the waitress and she took it back. But it was still not the best queso. Then I received my taco salad and there was something very off with the chicken. The shell it came in was very soft and tasted cold. I would never come back to this location again. The whole experience was not good. read more

Jalisco Mexican Food! I really liked this place! This place is on point! They have a wide variety of Mexican dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I opted for the omelette, filled with chorrizo- delish! They had a spicy green sauce that was hot and delicious! It was spicy and hit all the right notes. Their red sauce was a bit more on the milder side and less runny. The chiliquiles looked incredible- no eggs, with a side of fajita meat. They served up a spicy hot ranchero sauce on the side, which wasn't as good as the green sauce. The decor was centered around a town in Jalisco, with lots of pictures of the church and the town. On the way out, I picked up the first issue of the taco magazine that this restaurant publishes- it was a quite substantial magazine filled with a word search and articles (all in Spanish) about the founder and how he immigrated from Mexico to Chicago, and down to Houston, where he moved up from a single food truck to a chain of brick and mortar taquerias all across Houston! They have a small little kiddie table in the corner, if needed. read more

I've been here a couple of times since they opened up in the neighborhood and I've yet to have a bad experience. The food always tastes fresh, the service is good, and the price is right. Some of the highlights: Breakfast tacos for those slightly hungover mornings :-p. Any taco with your choice of protein is always a good go-to, and especially delicious with the homemade tortilla upgrade. The gorditas and tostadas are always on point. Any style of Torta is always a great option, the bread is always crispy, the filling always fresh, order up a side of charro beans and it's the perfect lunch or light dinner. My absolute favorite meal here is the 5 taquitos with a side of charro beans. This is a lot of food for $7 and you'll more than likely take a taquito or two home with you, perfect for a quick snack. The 5 taquitos entree is a beautiful thing. ( photo attached ) My only complaint, the red salsa is always extremely watery. You'll get maybe 3-4 good scoops in before you're pretty much just scooping up tomato water. If they thickened the red salsa up it would be perfect. I'm still giving 5 stars though because the infamous green sauce more than makes up for the red salsas shortcomings. Seriously, put that green magic sauce on EVERYTHING. I'm happy that this location opened up in Cypress and I hope they stay for a good long time, and continue with the good service and fresh quality of ingredients. read more

Went here today for lunch with a friend and my daughter! Sat anywhere and wasn't even given menus till after a few moments being there. Got chips and salsa but we saw all around us they were given a complimentary soup type deal! We were never given or ask! Ask for a unsweet tea with lemon, apparently they only have lime, which ok! Didn't get a Straw, so thank goodness brought my own, because we were not even being acknowledged! Ordered fajitas for two and they don't even have sour cream in the building I guess, because she said they don't sell it! We get our food, finally, missing items already ask for, so ask again! One lady was great and super sweet but the other, not good service at all! Proceed to check out almost 30 min later, and not ONE time did we get ask how we are doing or need anything! Ask for my tea to go, never got that either! This is the 2nd time this has happened to us here and have noticed people walk out. Food is ok, not bad, but customer service can go a long way! Just wasn't impressed and won't be going back! read more

My boyfriend and I decided to eat at this location yesterday. We had never ate at this location but love Taqueria Arandas. Luz was our server and she was absolutely amazing! I originally ordered a Jamaica drink and told her I didn't like the way it tasted. She asked me what I thought was wrong, so I told her it tasted like someone put too much sugar. So she offered other flavors for me to try and bought me a sample of the horchata to see if I liked that one better. I did and she brought it to me. While we were eating our food she comes out with a fresh sample of Jamaica. She told me to try it because she told the cooks in the back that I said it was not good. It ended up being so good and I was content with the horchata. However, she insisted she would bring me a full drink of Jamaica so I would go without wanting what I had originally asked for. Sweet lady, I really enjoyed her effort and making sure our experience was great. read more

Let me start by saying I've been here multiple, multiple times & I've never had any food items that weren't good. I always get breakfast (even if it's lunch time) so I don't know much about the lunch items. Not only is the food outstanding with a creative twist, it's consistent. Over the years, the place has expanded several times so now there is a decent amount of dine-in seating in addition to the outdoor seating. The place still stays packed but with their wait list in advance/text notification system & efficiency in seating customers, if there is a wait things move along smoothly. Additionally, anyone who is waiting knows it's worth the wait!! The service staff are friendly. The atmosphere is homey & they decorate for the various holidays & seasons. Owner/chef Lori is always walking around asking guests if everything is ok. On at least 2 occasions she happened to chat with me/my guest about some dietary restrictions & she whipped something up for us to try. My go-to dish is the harvest breakfast where you can pick 4 breakfast items from a list. This is a great way to sample more menu items. Here's my take on some of my favorites: - Sourdough pancakes are thin & really delicious. - Belgium Leige waffle is very sweet with the pearl sugar "nuggets" in them so taste them before you add a lot of syrup. - Scrambled eggs are well seasoned, not bland. - Avocado & tomato or the fresh fruit are nice light touches as one of the side item choices. - Fried chicken tenders are really good. Spice level 3 (medium) is not that spicy. It's flavorful. - Grilled chicken tenders are good. As much as I typically eat grilled or baked chicken, I allow myself to choose fried for these. - Grits are creamy. I get them with no cheese. I'm not a big grits person but I do like these! The menu is very extensive. It includes vegan, vegetarian, keto & gluten free. Is the breakfast a little pricey, the answer is "it's all relative." Sometimes it's just worth paying for a great meal. In case you haven't gotten the message, Harvest Kitchen is a must try. Do yourself a favor & have a visit. I'm betting it will stay on your list as a repeat eating spot!! Tips: - Use the text message wait list & signup before you leave your house. - You can always get 1 pancake on the side for $5. - 15% gratuity is included at checkout, as you pay you'll get options for an additional % or custom % like 0%, 3, 5% or more.

When we arrived, the restaurant was empty, and I will say our server was very nice and welcoming. One thing we immediately noticed, though, was that the menu prices were crossed out and changed. The waitress explained that prices have been fluctuating, but it did feel a little unpolished and confusing seeing gouged-out pricing on multiple items. I ordered the breakfast quesadilla, and my wife got the South of the Border omelet. We also had the roasted potatoes, which ended up being a very small portion. My main issue was that several items listed (or expected) didn't come as described. The quesadilla was supposed to come with sour cream and pico, but they weren't served on the side. We were told the pico was inside the quesadilla, which wasn't noted on the menu. Additionally, both dishes had raw, unsautéed onions mixed into the scrambled eggs. That wasn't listed in the description, and I personally don't like raw onions, so it definitely affected the meal for me. I think ingredients like that should be clearly stated. The cheese sauce tasted like standard heated nacho cheese and was very runny, not what we expected from a breakfast dish. The sour cream also tasted off. Overall, while the service was friendly, the food and menu presentation didn't meet expectations. Unfortunately, we probably won't be returning.

It was interesting to see the regular shrimp with the tiny shrimp but it was still ok. The grits were just a bit greasy. The serving size was a pretty big size. I wasn't expecting that.

Grits came out cold but they warmed them up. Pancake was thin and hard. Potatoes were good omelet was good but didn't like the cheese type. One porkchop was good but the other wasn't. I don't have to return unfortunately. But marking it off the list.

Towards the baristas, I don't think they are the most welcoming or social. To be fair, I can understand they must be busy. Theres one man, perhaps the owner, I see him there frequently and he's always very kind, quick, and helpful. Ultimately, I give 5 stars, bc although the baristas don't show me much love, I can taste the love in my coffee lol Best coffee.

A delightful surprise at Town Lake! The Union Kitchen delivered an exceptional brunch experience…read morefrom start to finish. The food was amazing, beautifully plated, and paired with fantastic service that made our visit even more enjoyable. Who knew beignets could be the perfect brunch dessert? Absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend!

The location itself has a really nice view of the lake with plenty of outdoor seating available. Our server, Chase, was fantastic! She took wonderful care of us throughout our meal, keeping everything running smoothly despite how busy it was. The food overall was enjoyable. We tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay and didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for. However, the Philly eggrolls were delicious! We also ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, which is an absolute favorite of mine from my usual home location in Memorial. My biggest critique of this location comes down to those three-tiered motorized robot servers. Personally, I'm really not a fan. I feel like they cheapen the dining experience rather than elevate it. I don't quite understand the point when a human server--often just whichever nearby staff member happens to be passing by, rather than your actual server--still has to take the food off the tray and place it on your table. It ends up feeling inconsistent and impersonal. I know AI and tech are here to stay and I embrace it where it fits, but we have to ask ourselves: does this actually enhance the customer experience? In my opinion, it doesn't, and those bots must have cost a pretty penny!It's truly a shame to have stellar, personal service from someone like Chase alongside good food, only for the overall experience to feel just "fair" because of a robot cart delivering dishes. I definitely prefer my home location in Memorial. It's smaller, quieter, much easier to park, and thankfully isn't running robot servers (at least not yet!). While it was a fun outing with a great view, I'll likely stick closer to home for my regular visits.

I had an incredible dining experience at Taqueria Arandas and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server Luz Elena. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Her attention to detail, friendly attitude, and genuine enthusiasm made the entire meal even more enjoyable. She anticipated our needs without us having to ask, offered great recommendations, and checked in at just the right moments. Honestly, I'd come back just for her service alone. Thank you, Luz Elena, for making our night so memorable! read more

The Laredo Special of cheese enchiladas was delicious and good portion for me. The chips, salsa, rice and refried beans were delicious. I'm picky when it comes to these items so I was pleased. I will say the menu didn't show the drink options so the waiter informed me as best as he could in English the Aqua Fresca options and I was pleased to hear they have horchata. It was wonderful! I would have bumped it to a 5 if only they didn't take my plate away when I went to the restroom for 5 minutes and came back to a clean table. I was alone and I know I was mostly done but I still had my sides to finish. I hadn't paid for my meal yet so he apologized and brought my check. They're really sweet but very quick with cleaning their tables.

Their queso flameado with chorizo is, without a doubt, my favorite among all places I've tried. It's served sizzling, and the cheese is melted perfectly, not thick or cooling down too quickly. I also ordered the carne guisada; the beef was tender and juicy, the sauce was flavorful, and the rice was light and fluffy. We also tried the Texas Burrito, and let me tell you--everything is indeed bigger in Texas! I could barely finish it; it was fully stuffed and packed. The taco carbon was great, with the flour tortilla tasting homemade and the beef fajita perfectly seasoned. The chimichanga came out piping hot, topped with melted cheese, while still maintaining a crispy texture. I will definitely return. Their lunch special is an excellent value!

Solid first visit to Las Mañanitas, and would definitely give it another try next time I am in town…read morevisiting family. Didn't have to wait at all for a table, and plenty of parking in the lot out front. Service was very speedy, and the staff was very friendly with a couple of kiddos in tow. Parilla mixta was plenty to share for 3, so I'd recommend snagging that if you want to try a variety of skillet seared options. Favorites were the beef fajitas and the bacon wrapped shrimp! Thought the veggies (onions, bell pepper, etc.) could've used a few more minutes, but overall it was great. Always recommend frijoles charros, and this was no exception. Love the homemade tortillas de harina, spicy salsa, and World Cup games on Telemundo! Appreciated all the decor and themes around the walls.

More specifically for my dish. When you sit down at a mexican restaurant and noticed that the salsa is awful, you know the food following will not be much better. The red salsa was almost sweet (not spicy at all) and the green salsa was more edible but no heat and cold. My dad asked for a spicier salsa and it was soooo salty. It also quite literally did not have any spice. I ordered the chicken breast alcapulco. When I say that I had a 4 pieces of rubbery small cubes of chicken breast on my plate, I quite literally mean that I had 4 pieces of rubbery cubed chicken breasts altogether on my plate. They styled it in a shishkabob fashion on my plate. (Cube chicken, slice of raw tomatoes, cold slice of avocado, zucchini and then repeat small chicken cube in that format). The sauce it was smothered in tasted like a canned enchilada sauce that was made by someone of European descen.. it was definitely not mexican. Chunks of zucchini threw me off so much and it was pretty hard. Didn't taste fully cooked. I just dont know how this place is still running. I also did have to remember that we were in the middle of cypress, tx and they may be accommodating to the usual crowd that comes in. My plate was also over $20 which was also hard to swallow. Both metaphorically and literally. The only reason why I gave this place a 2 stars is because of their tortillas and the cool vibe the restaurant does have. Our waitress was awesome too.

For food we ordered: Chili con queso Beef fajitas for one Cheese enchiladas (my son) Parrillada #1 (on a second visit) When we order cheese enchiladas, my son likes to substitute queso cheese instead of the typical enchilada gravy. (He loves cheese). This is the first restaurant out of all the local restaurants in the area that adds a $2 surcharge for the request. Anyway, onto the tastes. The food is actually really good. When I compare the fajitas to other places - these fajitas remind of a steak strips - they are really good and have the right balance of char and tenderness. The rice is also really good. I didn't make it to tbt beans, but I'm sure they would also be good. My son loved his enchiladas and actually asked for more. (Secret: we came back again and ordered him the 2 count - he was happy with his repeat selection). The staff were very attentive and nice. My only gripe was the surcharge for subbing queso instead of enchilada gravy.
