Lo’s Ford Best In Texas Pick: Mexican Food

Houston is packed with amazing places to grab Mexican food, but if you ask me—Taquerias Arandas is always at the top of the list. With over 20 locations across the Houston metro, chances are you’ve passed one today! But for this visit, I stopped by their Heights location off Shepherd, and as always… it did not disappoint.

The Vibe: Feels Like Home
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and seated quickly. The atmosphere is colorful, cozy, and instantly gives you that “you’re in the right place” feeling. The service? Always top notch. It’s one of those places where hospitality is just as good as the food.

The Food: 10/10 Every Time
We kicked things off with their tableside guacamole—made fresh right in front of you. It was creamy, bold, and honestly? One of the best starters you could ask for.
For lunch, I went with their pastor taquitos and fajitas marinadas. Both were packed with flavor, cooked to perfection, and you could literally taste the generations of tradition in every bite. If you haven’t tried their fajitas yet, you’re missing out.

Don’t Skip the Bakery
Before you leave, do yourself a favor and make a stop at the Arandas Bakery. Their dessert selection is unreal—colorful, classic, and seriously tempting. My favorite? The tres leches cake. It’s dreamy, decadent, and worth every single bite.

Whether you’re in the Heights or visiting another Arandas location across town, you can count on a meal that delivers every time. Friendly service, incredible food, and an authentic vibe that makes you feel right at home—that’s why Taquerias Arandas is my top pick for Mexican food in Houston. 🌮💛
