Arandas Mexican Grille

The food was really good and relatively quick, and the portion sizes were really generous. The service was good, and the atmosphere felt like home (south Texas). The bathrooms were really stinky, though—be prepared to hold your breath while you’re in there 😅

Very roomy, relaxing atmosphere. Generous portions and cooked to order. Exceptional service , would have given 5 stars but tortillas were not home made.

It is an okay Mexican restaurant with great coffee.

I came here for breakfast a few days ago. It was not bad, but it was nothing special. The people were friendly and served us fast. We ordered our food, and it came out in a reasonable amount of time.

Honestly, the presentation of the food was not very good, but the taste was not bad. It seems like bland is the flavor of the day when it comes to Mexican restaurants on the Texas coast for some reason. But, the food here was no overly bland. It did have some flavor to it. It was a lot better than the meal I ate the night before, at another Mexican restaurant in Port Aransas, that is for sure.

I might try here for lunch and dinner to see what else they offer, so I would have more to go on for this review than just a single breakfast.

As it stands, I rate this restaurant at 3-stars for food. But they do have some of the best restaurant coffee I have had in a long time, so that pushed them into the 4-star category. I would definitely come here to drink coffee. It is seldom that I find a place that serves coffee I actually like. I can count the spots on the one hand that I have ever had a cup of coffee at that I said, "Now, THIS is a good cup of coffee!" This is one place I said this.
