Arandas Mexican Grille

Service and food were excellent. They brought my toddler's food out first. (That won me over). Thank you staff for excellent experience and service

6 of us went to Aranda’s Mexican Grill (609 Business Hwy 35 N Bypass, Rockport) last evening..first time for me, even though we’ve tried a couple of times but they were always closed! Had a good experience from start to finish! We were greeted promptly and politely as soon as we entered. Jose, the Owner, stopped to talk to one of our friends, which was nice, and Angelica was our Server! She did a great job, personable, knowledgeable and attentive! I had the Spinach Enchiladas (with Monterey Jack cheese sauce, that’s a first), which is one of my favorites but very few restaurants here have that on their menu! They have quite an extensive menu and prices were very competitive! My entrée was only $8.99 and it was quite ample to say the least (1st pic) They adhered to social distancing with chairs placed forward and signs strategically placed on tables noting no seating! We sat at a circular corner table with barrel leather chairs, so comfortable and conversation-friendly!! We got there about 4:20 which was certainly a good time as not that crowded, but when we left, they were at 50% capacity! Everyone was complimentary on their entrée, so a good evening/experience with Service, Food and Price! Looking forward to going back to Aranda’s!

1st time visitor, passing through town. Areas were clean, wait staff was very attentive and helpful. One unique item that I had to try was the Chicken & Cheese Flautas, which turned out pretty good. One MUST HAVE is the Chile con Quest DIP!!! It's was delicious!! Also had a small order of Guacamole, but since I'm not a huge fan of Raw Onions, this did not hit the spot for me (Personal Preference). The Chicken & Beef Fajitas were OK, but not sure I would get this dish again. Overall, my experience was OK, and I would come back and try a different dish. Price wise, this is a really great stop!

The food is pretty good. Had the Texas shrimp wrapped in bacon very good. Some of the bacon was a bit crispy. Still good. Staff was excellent. Our waitress wasn't on top of it but the rest of the staff was GREAT!!????????????????????
