" I recently tried Taqueria Arandas and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food! Their tacos were filled with fresh ingredients and packed with flavor, but not overly spicy. The environment felt a bit more casual than I typically prefer, but it was welcoming. The service was prompt, and I’d certainly recommend this place to friends looking for not just good, but authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first visited Taqueria Arandas, I wasn't sure what to expect. The spot is a little rough around the edges, which added to its charm. The menu is straightforward, focusing on the essentials like burritos and tacos. I opted for the super burrito and it was loaded with everything I wanted. You can taste the care in every bite, the flavors are true to Mexican cuisine. I did find the service a bit slow since it was packed with diners, but it felt worth the wait. It's the kind of place I'll definitely be coming back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I stumbled upon Taqueria Arandas after a long day out, and it was the best decision! The food was flavorful and generous with portions. I can’t get over how good the carne asada tacos are. It felt like we were transported back to Mexico with every bite. The atmosphere is friendly, but I can see how it might seem cramped during busier times, so go early if you can. I will absolutely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say I wasn't too impressed with Taqueria Arandas. The food was good, but I expected an explosion of flavors given the rave reviews I’ve heard. The tacos I ordered were decent but didn't stand out. The service was quick, which I appreciated, but it lacked the warmth I look for in a local eatery. The atmosphere could use some sprucing up, but if you're just looking for a quick bite, this place fits the bill. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Taqueria Arandas and decided to check it out with some friends. We ordered a variety of dishes, including burritos, tacos, and a torta. While the flavors were good, I must say that I expected a bit more authenticity given the reputation. The prices were definitely reasonable, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was casual and homey, which was nice, but it did feel a bit cramped at times. Overall, it was a decent experience but not something I would rush back for. Might try again down the line to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I'm in Hayward, I make it a point to stop by Taqueria Arandas. The authenticity of their food is unmatched! The burrito I had was stuffed to the brim, and they didn't skimp on the avocado either. The service was friendly, even though it can be a bit slow when they're busy. Still, the taste makes every minute worth it! I highly recommend their al pastor tacos as well; they're simply out of this world. Don't forget to check out their daily specials. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re in the Hayward area and don't stop by Taqueria Arandas, you're missing out! The authentic flavors burst in your mouth, especially their carne asada tacos. The prices can't be beat either. I love that this place stays true to its roots without catering to modern fads. It’s just great Mexican food in a no-frills environment. The only downside is that it's sometimes tough to find a parking spot, but for me, it's worth the hassle! " (*Curated Review*)
