Tacos Arandas

  Fort Wayne's only authentic taqueria. While it looks like a whole in the wall joint, it actually seemed quite clean. Tacos are the only thing on the menu besides beverages. I had the asada (steak) and pastor (pork). You have the option of chopped onion and fresh cilantro. They also provide four "salsa" like sauces and another sauce that looks like guacamole and tomatillo sauce combined. This place gets a lot of hype and while I did enjoy my meal I think if they offered rice and beans as a side, it would be better.

  The other reviews are right. $2 tacos with just four choices (all pork or beef) on the menu. Soft, corn shells are authentic. But let's talk about the meat. It's the absolute lowest-quality available -- and re-re-re-heated. What a stench. Just plain awful.

  Authentic Mexican tacos - no cheese, no hard shells. Pretty basic here, they don't have chips and salsa, just tacos and bottled drinks (including Mexican soda and drinks) and fresh smoothies. But really, can you go wrong with $2 tacos? Fortunately they also tasted fine (barbacoa, al pastor, asada, chorizo, even lengua offered - i.e barbecue beef, pork, steak, mexican sausage, tongue). Definitely 4 stars for the value. Not a lot of tables, but definitely a few for 4-6 people. They do take credit card now. Next to Mad Anthony's and next to an Adult Novelty store unfortunately.

  This place was a fantastic foil to all the beers we chug-a-lugged at Mad Anferny's.  
  
  The tacos we tried were al pastor, barbacoa, carne asada (?), and buche - which I later found to be pork belly.  All the meat portions were sizeable, and served atop two lightly fried corn tortillas.  The accompanying sauces were all top notch and had to have been prepared on site.  My lovely companion especially liked the bowl of radishes, limes, and onions de gratis.  
  
  If I lived in Fort Wayne, I'd move to Muncie, but them's some damn fine tacos.  And horchata.

  I would have given this place five stars, but it still doesn't beat my favorite place in AZ. As per the other reviewer, they only offer tacos with 4 salsas, cucumbers and radishes. They are $2 street style tacos on the larger size, which have meat, onions, and cilantro. The only thing missing were pickled jalapeños, carrots, and onions. My favorite salsas was the Chipotle and green.
  They have plenty of seating, but if I had to guess a good portion of their clients get the tacos to go.
  Located right next to Mad Anthony Brewery. Now only if I could get a Mad Anthony brew with my taco.
  
  P.S. Not open on Mondays.

  They keep it simple here, 5 types of tacos, soft drinks and what looks to be fruit smoothies. Everything seems to be fresh and from scratch. Big fan of the Pastor marinated pork tacos. Outstanding condiment tray with 4 sauces, cukes, radishes and a bowl of lime slices. This place is now a regular for me. Cash only.
