This is not an "Americanized Mexican Restaurant " it is authentic Jalisco cuisine roots with a fusion flare created by a talented kitchen staff. The dining room is open , airy and crisp. It definitely has a vibe of sophistication without pretentiousness. The soup was incredible. I don't know how to describe it effectively. The toast accented with the sun-dried tomatoes and a small sprinkle of pine nuts was the element that made this item memorable. My son reported the chicken sandwich to be excellent as well. We ere not planning on getting dessert but we looked at the menu and decided to split the cinnamon roll. OMG , try this dessert, you will not likely be disappointed. Anchorage has a little gem of a dining experience... I hope this review helps more locals and tourists to discover this fine establishment.

The CHICKEN ! This place knows how to cook or roast a…read morechicken. I was hungry after spending 3 hours at Bass Pro Shop and I looked up a local restaurant. This was the suggestion and it was well worth it. I ordered the 1/4 all white chicken and as soon as I bit i to it, the juices were coming out. My sides were fried yuca and congri. The portions are massive and you will leave very satisfied. The staff was great and they ensured that I liked their product. The owner/chef came out just to ask me what did I think about the food. I told him that it was GRRREAT! The restaurant is clean and while you can't eat inside they have one table outside of the store that you can sit. If you don't want to cook and you want a healthy option, come here and get the whole chicken. You will be glad that you did and you are helping a small business owner. Healthy and tasty chicken !

I decided to come here during lunch break after remembering the great food I had when they took…read moreorders at a lunch cart in Bell's Nursery about a year ago on a summer weekend. Spinz is located at the very end of a small strip mall right next door to McDonald's on Mountain View Dr. The place is small and there is no seating area which would have been nice for a restaurant like this but hopefully that will be in the plans somewhere down the line. The place was busy when I came in around noon. A lot of working regulars as well as some military personnel from Elmendorf Air Force base were waiting patiently in line to place an order. I had placed an order through the Toaster Takeout app and had it scheduled to pick up at 12:15PM, but you would have to stand in line instead of going to a designated station for pickup. A pleasant surprise when I finally came up to the register was that they serve your pickup order by making it at a prep station adjacent to the registers. The wait was only a couple of minutes and this was better than having it sit on the counter and grow cold. I ordered the 1/4 Dark Rotisserie Chicken with Cilantro Mojo Chicken Salad (a Latin spin on chicken salad with cilantro, tri-colored peppers, garlic, mint, extra virgin olive oil, and the restaurant's house-made spice blend) and the Peperonata Criolla (sofrito with bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, onions, chilis, and assorted veggies). The Peperonata Criolla was absolutely delicious with the sofrito mixed in. The sofrito itself came on the side. I had initially mistook it as a side of salsa until I realized that it was supposed to be mixed in as part of the dish. Likewise, the Mojo Chicken was also very good. The garlic and the cilantro were very noticeable and a great complement with the other ingredients. The Rotisserie Chicken was very tender and moist after being brined and slow-cooked for 12 hours according to the restaurant's website. The Salsa Blanca I chose as the sauce was a great mild spice level option which focused more on flavor. There is a spicy sauce option like the Salsa Aji Amarilla or the Fry Sauce. Peruvian-style cuisine is something you don't see often here in Anchorage and as someone who has lived in Florida, this is badly needed for more versatile options in town. I can't finish this review without mentioning some of the other items on the menu and I will definitely be coming back in the near future to try them out. Some of the more noticeable items include full-rack or half-rack Baby Back Ribs with a choice of either a jerk marinade or house-smoked seasoned rub, the Spin of the Day, daily specials served throughout the week like the Lamb Sandwich (thin-sliced smoked lamb with garlic aioli, caramelized onions, and fennel on a French roll) served on Thursdays, White Chicken Chili with white beans, chilies, topped with onions and cilantro, and their signature Chicken Tacos (tomatoes, dried plums...that's different, olives, and onions with spices and their signature Spinz sauce. They also offer larger portions of meat at market price like Rib Roast, Leg of Lamb, and Smoked Turkey Breast for family dinners or office gatherings. Catering is also available and comes as a package selection of certain items on their menu. Hopefully, they can add a seating area and that will increase business considerably.

I had the Three-Pack of seafood tacos. My order arrived pretty quickly…read more The fish was fried. I don't know if grilled is an option. There were plenty of toppings to make each taco a good size. There was a nice little bite to the salsa. The tacos were each on a single corn tortilla. That is something to keep in mind if you prefer flour or double tortillas. I added the chips and guacamole afterwards. The parking in their lot can be a bit tight. So if you're driving something big, you'll probably want to park on the street.

What went wrong: People are supposed to bus their own…read moretables but often don't, they don't get wiped down so if you want a clean table to sit at you have to do it yourself. All of our food came out separately and unfortunately our child's food- a quesadilla, was last. I got the nachos and they were the worst I've had in my whole life. How do you mess up nachos?!? The sauce they use is sweet- yuck! Barely any cheese or beans but loads of shredded cabbage and pickled veggies- weird...and the chicken was boiled and bland. The others said their food was ok, no one was very impressed. For $17 an entree you don't get free chips or a side of beans & rice- from now on I'll just go to a regular restaurant and get the good stuff without the 40 minute wait and bussing my own table.

Such a cute operation, we were shocked it wasn't busier…read more It was clean, well decorated and welcoming. The staff were quick to greet and offered decent service. The food was good and beautifully plated. The portions were on the smaller side for the price but the food was good. They could use at least 1 or 2 vegetarian options to round them out, but maybe that's not a need or demand in Anchorage. Very nice to get good Mexican while in Alaska. Not somewhere I feel I have to return to right away but I definitely would go back again.

The ceviche was pretty good too. The server Sarah was very friendly and was always attentive making sure everything was to my liking. As a previous SoCal resident, I appreciate having something that brings me home. This establishment is a beautiful representation of the Hispanic cuisine/culture. Thank you Adrian and Sarah

Chips to start, with a salsa bar to spoon mild to hot and other funsies. Stand in line and order, given a number and find a place to sit. I'm a fan of booths, but tables when not. Every item I've ordered is has been enough for two meals. Dig the salads, but also like the chimichangas. Good service from start to finish. Recommend and will come again many more times.

Tasted like bad tequila mixed with artificial strawberry. Like medicine. $15. The strawberry was also frozen. I did not finish it. Every bit or sip I made a face. Chimis were good. The jalapeño cream cheese was very good. I really like they give you chips at the table and they have a salsa bar with options. I think they were $17 for 8.

I'm both from the South (at least geographically...) and way into BBQ…read more BBQ is mighty hard to find in Alaska. Southern BBQ (or as we call it in the South: "BBQ") is even harder to find. (most of it up here is more Texas-inspired) I was delighted to find another BBQ place on Yelp, more so a Southern on, even MORE so one with ZERO reviews! I called them up and ordered ahead of time. I got the ribs, which were under $20, a rarity for BBQ! This place occupies the space formerly occupied by Alleyway Grille (that delicious, late-night, stoner haute-cuisine extravaganza) You order and pickup food from the drive through. I called in ahead and they asked me if I wanted to pickup in "5 or 10 minutes?". I chose 5! Service was friendly and I took my food home to eat. The ribs were very good and served on a piece of white bread (BBQ bread ain't fancy, yo!). The sides were much better than some of the more recent BBQ pop-ups post-COVID. It was a perfect lunch-sized portion of everything. I'll definitely be giving them another try (brisket on Sundays only). Great food, I just wish they would add collard greens. So rare to find those up here!
