I will start by saying I’m a Mexican snob... I love my local Mexican restaurant and the workers, so I don’t often try out others. We decided to try Arandas out since we were here in town and oh my goodness I’m glad we did!! Everything from the food to the workers to the atmosphere was amazing. They not only give you salsa and chips, but they had a different kind of dip they give also and YUM!! We will definitely be coming back soon! I hope this new business does well and stays around for a long time!

I have been anxiously awaiting opening day for Arandas MX Cocina. It certainly did not disappoint. Service was fast and friendly, with the owner making his rounds to check on tables while also helping the staff. The food was amazing. Everything was so flavorful and well-prepared. The strawberry margaritas are definitely some of the best around. We had the steak nachos and the chicken delight. Portions were very generous and everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend. This is such an excellent addition to Godfrey! Glad to have them in town.

The food was better than some of the Mexican places around, and not as good as others. So, take that for what it's worth. The service was phenomenal. And our order arrived quickly even though they were very busy (no open tables). Their ranch dip for the tortillas was incredible. BTW, you also get salsa. The large Margarita was huge and not weak!!! I would definately recommend. And the atmosphere was typical Mexican restaurant vibes. I will go back.

I go here after church on Sundays. The food is really good, we have a great selection on your menu, they're pretty fast, the place is clean and very nice inside. It's always packed Sunday afternoon, which testifies to how good the place really is. I've been there many times and I'll be back
