The food was not fresh. It wasn’t hot enough. It felt like leftovers semi warmed up. The service was great, an equally important factor during a dine in experience. Would I come back? No. Would I recommend it? Only if nothing else is open and one is not craving fast food at the moment.

We live in the area, and this is by far out favorite Mexican spot to go to. Been coming here for close to 20 years. The food is fresh, and I love that I can see the cooks in action. Small place, but big flavors. Clean, friendly, and food is fire.

From the Mexican native perspective, I write this review. I came to Arandas because it has good reviews. However, the place looks unmaintained. The chair covers are ripped, the wood needs another coat of paint, and the windows need cleaning.
The chips were stale, and when I told the waitress they were not fresh, she just said ok, and she left. Later she came with newer chips, but the flavor was off and did not smell like corn.
The salsa with the chips is refrigerated, meaning it is not fresh, and the tomatoes are not cut into small pieces as they should.
The Asada tacos are ok, but nothing outstanding. The limes with the tacos have seen better days. Not fresh.
Salsas are the same—I advise finding employees with better attitudes. Give the place a good TLC and serve fresh chips and salsa, or don’t give anything. FRESH means you got the ingredients in the morning and cooked them the same day.
And please don’t use these not compostable containers from China. They pollute the environment.

Local establishment that serves great food. I live nearby and always prefer to support this local business when craving tacos/burritos. The portions are generous.

The flavors here were on point. Everything tasted fresh and the place felt relaxed. I’d return for sure.

I had such a great experience at Taquería Arandas! The food was absolutely excellent — full of authentic flavor and cooked to perfection. The tortas went above and beyond my expectations, packed with fresh ingredients and the perfect balance of flavors. I also have to mention the chiles en vinagre — they were simply delicious and added just the right kick to the meal.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service made everything even better. If you’re in Chicago and craving real, flavorful Mexican food, Taquería Arandas is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended! ️

Fresh, delicious, consistent food every time I’ve eaten here. My friend just moved to the area so this has been our go to for authentic tacos. The burritos and tamales are also outstanding, and the staff is always helpful and kind. So glad to have found this place!
