The food was okay, but bland. The carnitas and potato tacos didn't have much flavor, which was disappointing. The chilaquiles had a great portion, and the salsa was the best part. read more

I came on a weekend afternoon, and the service was quick. The restaurant serves customers outdoors through a window, and there is some nice seating to the right. There was some limited parking, but my party opted for some nearby street parking. I ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce and carnitas, and they were excellent! The chips remained crisp after a healthy dose of green salsa. The carnitas are soft and juicy, and there was also an egg! The carnitas came with rice and refried black beans. They were just okay, and the beans could have used less salt. read more

This is a great place to fulfill your shrimp taco cravings. There are so many good spots for carne asada and Mexican in general in the 626 area, but I think this is the best spot for crispy shrimp tacos! The shrimp are large and succulent, with the perfect, crispy batter and toppings. They used to do the shrimp tacos like Mariscos Jaliscos, with a crispy fried hard shell, but they are normal tacos now. I also recommend their ribeye taco, which is $10 but worth it. The steak is seasoned well and cooked medium rare and just hits the spot (tastes more like a high-end taco than your typical carne asada tacos). All three of the salsas pair well with all of their tacos, especially the habanero. All their agua fresca options are tasty as well, especially the melon and cucumber lime. All in all, this is a good spot to stop by for lunch or takeout (there are a few patio tables off to the side). read more

Driven past this place a few times and finally decided to check it out. So glad that I did. Ordered the mole enchiladas, chilaquiles, horchata, cold brew chata, and chilaquiles. Mole enchiladas were really good and I highly recommend! The lime rice is amazing. The horchata has good flavor and so does the cold brew chata. Service has always been good and very helpful when ordering. read more

This spot has been my go to for chicken chilaquiles. I used to love it for breakfast. Chicken was tender juicy and flavorful and have been coming here for years ever since they opened. Fast forward to 2025 and the quality has plummeted. My last order of chicken chilaquiles was unflavored chicken and dry. The sauce was not the same and the chips were stale. This was just after they increased prices also. Not sure if ownership has changed but I don't see the original owner there anymore. He used to always be on site. The lady handling the pick up window always forgets something, sauces, utensils, napkins you name it. I was willing to over look these small things because the food was good but now there is no reason to go back. So sad read more

I got the milanesa torta with fries and it did not disappoint. The torta was crispy, flavorful, and stacked with just the right amount of toppings. The bread held everything together without getting soggy, and the meat was tender with great seasoning. The fries were hot, crispy, and actually seasoned well, not just tossed on the side as an afterthought. Everything came out fresh and fast, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. If you're craving something that feels homemade and satisfying, this place delivers. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. I was honestly so hungry and it was so good that I didn't take a picture. read more

The young woman with glasses who helped me on 8/20/25 was incredibly sweet and deserves recognition for her kindness and professionalism. Previously, I rated Spanglish Kitchen lower because of their use of black plastic containers and utensils, which are concerning due to potential health risks. That being said, I want to give credit where it's due: the food itself is consistently very tasty, and I really enjoy the flavors. I was happy to see that they've already upgraded their food containers to the eco-friendly brown cardboard ones--that's a great step forward! My only remaining concern is their continued use of black plastic utensils. Once they move away from those as well, I'll gladly update my rating to a full 5 stars. For now, I'll keep it at 2/5, but I truly hope they make this last change because the food and service deserve nothing less than top marks. 5. read more

Generous portion size, easy online ordering via Uber - took a bit longer than originally estimated but not a big deal. Enjoyed the crispy shrimp tacos best. Crispy fish tacos could've done with a bit more sauce, and lengua tacos were a bit bland, but addressed by using more salsa. read more

It's been a while since i came back & I live pretty closeby. Updating my previous review as I was sadly disappointed with today's food. We ordered 2 burritos (asada and carnitas) and a serving of asada quesadilla which came out to $35. I came from an event with my child and hubs was working at home. He did an online order, mentioning something like phone orders were no longer accepted. I told him my ETA & he was told 20-30 mins. I gassed up across the street and probably got there a few mins before 20mins. Hubs texts that it is ready. When i parked in the tiny square , parking was quite sparse but managed to get one. I went straight to the pickup window. It was already there, and the girl handed me the bag, only confirming the name on the order. I left promptly, happy to eat as soon as we get home. When we got to our dining table, i noticed there was no salsa. Not only that, the carnitas was incredibly dry, almost as if its been on a heating tray all day (its already 7ish pm at this point). also it was made up of the undesirable parts of the meat, and i think the rice even had corn in it, which gave it an unexpected and unwelcome sweet flavor. Anyway if anything, the dryness of the food couldve been offset by salsa, but they didnt provide any. So. Yeah. It wasn't good for us. Probably wont be back for a while. I'd rather go to Del Taco. read more

I feel as though over time the quality of their food has deteriorated. i always give the restaurants the benefit of the doubt however, it will be the last time today. I just forced myself to finish a carne asada burrito. I literally had a chuck of fat/ cartilage in every single bite. Some pieces not even chewable really! Some I forced myself to eat or I would have had little to no meat to eat. All the pieces in the attached photo I could not chew. I understand we may get a piece here and there but I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say I had one in every bite of the burrito read more

First time coming here and tried the shrimp burrito. The size was okay for the price and the quality was good but I wanted a little more shrimp. I think for the price, they could've put a little more shrimp in... but the taste was pretty good. The salsas were also nice paired with it. I might give it another try if I'm in the area. read more

Could be Good eats but too many mistakes ordering thru an app like yelp (ordering ahead) there's always something missing 1 or 2 items. (Not cheap for a walk up) and ordering at the counter takes forever.. no way to check quality control! Does anyone else go through this or feel this way? it's hard to get a hold of a person when calling about a mistake on the Order!!! Ugh! Frustrated customer! read more

Wow. What a great little joint. Walk-up window with some outdoor seating and AMAZING food. Before you even consider the great value prices. We did a quick search when we were hungry after a day of travel and sightseeing. The name alone made me want to learn more. We decided to jump in and order takeout since it was only a block from our Airbnb. The menu item that jumped out immediately was the BBQ Chicken which was a chicken quarter served with rice and a small side salad. Given our clean eating style, this was a perfect way to wrap up our busy day. We were not disappointed! This chicken was fantastic, smokey/tangy sauce grilled to perfection with just the right amount of sear marks and tender meat. I would definitely go fraught back to this place for that dish!! read more

I had been wanting to try this spot for awhile and I finally made it there. I ordered a chicken torta and a couple of tacos: fish and shrimp. I also got an agua de piña. It did not disappoint. The torta was tasty. The breaded chicken had the right seasoning and was cooked just right. Not too crispy but enough to taste the crunch. If that makes sense. The torta is accompanied by what seemed to be house made potato chips. These were also delicious! The tacos we also great! Especially the fish taco. La agua de piña was also legit! I recommend this spot. I will return and try other menu options. Importantly, the prices are reasonable too. The only downside is that I sat outside in their eating area on a day and time that the temperature was in the upper 90's. Overall, I'm definitely going back. read more

I had the veggie tacos and potato tacos with a side or rice and beans. Veggie tacos and the rice was very tasty. Would say that the potato tacos need a bit more flavor. Potatoes were a bit bland. The salsa was nice and hot too! It doesn't have any indoor seating but has a nice shaded patio. Food takes some time to arrive during busy hours so be prepared to wait a bit! read more

Stopped by Spanglish Kitchen for lunch two days in a row. First day I had an asada taco a pastor taco and carnitas. Pastor taco was full of flavor it was my favorite. My co-worker had the asada burrito. He told me it was top notch so on the second I ordered an asada burrito . Let's just say I was not disappointed. It was really good. Must try if your are in the neighborhood read more

As of 1/19/25, a side of guac is $5, and I swear it's like maybe 2 tablespoons? Their food varies from okay to really good - never bad. Veggie taco is my favorite of the tacos. However, I feel like for their tacos in general, the tortillas kinda seem microwaved sometimes. I will say their tortas are bomb. They give this delicious roasted chile with each order, and their fried potato chips are read more

We love the carne asada and chicken tortas. The aguas frescas are really refreshing. A must try.

I have a love / hate relationship with Spanglish Kitchen. On one hand, I love that they offer mole enchiladas-- it's the only reason I order food from here. But their quality of food over the years have gone downhill. I always order through UberEats and the meat has always come out dry / not fresh. The last few visits, I've had an upset stomach after ordering food ): read more

youd think if you order tacos that salsa and lime would come with it. I also got nachos which are okay but salsa would have helped. Nothing has much flavor besides the al pastor. hopefully next time salsa makes an appearance and isnt being held hostage by the ones who made it. read more

I did an online pickup order through their website. It was easy to use. Bacon Breakfast Burrito (4/5): First impression was that it looked small however it was actually quite filling. The bacon was super fresh and crispy which was surprising. Inside included bacon, eggs, onions, tomato, cheese, potato, pinto beans, and cilantro wrapped in a flour tortilla. I would've liked if the beans were refried instead of whole but still good! I think that's what made it filling. Asada Fries (4.5/5): I expected more toppings on the fries. You can add pico de gallo for free but you have to pay for guac. The portion was okay. The fries were good though. It had nice seasoning and crisp. There was a good amount of steak. I would recommend this for a casual lunch spot. They included red and green salsa for each item. I think the prices are good and I will try more items on the menu next time. read more

Avoid!! I ordered 5 Asada Tacos, 2 Carnitas tacos, and a Pastor Quesadilla. I asked to have 3 Red, 2 Green, and 2 Habanero Salsas. The bag included the meats on top of the Tortilla with NO salsas. Not on the side, not a a separate container. Just dry meat on dry tortilla. Needless to say, it was horrible. A little attention to detail on the order would've helped. And yes - the receipt clearly states I asked for salsa (picture attached). read more

Non existing service. Order through a QR code. May as well deal with bots. 20 min wait! Wtf for tacos!! 6 tables on the side of the building to eat at. Ordered 4 tacos: asada, carnitas, chicken, and fish taco. Flavor was meh as best. Only saving grace was the meat portion was decently sized for the price. So many good Mexican taco trucks in the area... Hard pass on this place. read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Generous portions too. I'll definitely be back. It's busy but service is quick.

Can't believe I found a hair in my burrito and a piece of a toothpick inside my potato taco. Eewwwww. This totally ruined my experience. Made me want to throw up honestly. read more

Crispy shrimp taco. Crispy shrimp taco. Crispy shrimp taco. It's so good, it deserves to be mentioned three times. Carnitas was okay. Asada is good, and the green salsa has a medium kick that can satisfy (or at least nodded) the spice-inclined, but not that spicy for those who prefers their food doesn't bit back. But al pastor though, this one kinda up there with some al pastors i'd like to avoid at any cost. It just don't work. Back to the crispy shrimp taco, it truly stands head and shoulders (and elbows!) above the rest. read more

I don't know what happened to this place but the food is now bland. Chorizo burrito has shrunk with mostly flavorless rice, dry beans a little sprinkling of chorizo. The torta had this weird dry flat bread, small portion and dry, flavorless meat. Even the potato chips were really hard not crunchy and tasted stale. Way too expensive for the quality and quantity of the food. Too bad, I really liked this place. read more

We ordered chicken pozole but got pork instead but it was very good. It was full of pork was very delicious. I saw the cafe de olla and had to try it. It has more of a smoky flavor but very good. The fish tacos were good too. I think they use a heartier fish like swordfish. We weren't disappointed. It has been a while since we were there and noticed they did a nice job in remodeling their patio area. read more

Disclaimer: I didn't actually try any food here. I'm visiting from the East Coast, so I absolutely had to try some horchata. The horchata here was delicious, but definitely very sweet. They also gave a pretty big cup of it, so I was actually a bit full after drinking it. My friends got Mexican Cokes, which they really enjoyed. I like the vibe of this place, with the window for ordering food and the patio nearby to eat. It's also really convenient if you just want to grab something to go! My friend who lives in the area said the food is also really good, so I hope I'll be able to try it out before I go back home! read more

I love the bean and cheese burrito (4 stars!) Guacamole and everything else I have tried has been Yum! Friends that I have introduced have liked and gone back as well, especially for the carne asada and guacamole. Portion size has changed for my bean and cheese burrito though over the past year...boo! But compared to other places they are way ahead! Everything tastes fresh and healthy, so go, snack and enjoy! Order extra chips read more

Located at the intersection, so you can't miss this place. There's not too many parking spaces at the front of the buildings, but there is more parking in the back of the Super Store (Simply the Best). Place your order and pickup your order at the windows. I got the potato and shrimp tacos. They're on the smaller side, so I would probably order three or four next time instead of two. read more

Great food and great delivery service! Love the pastor breakfast burrito!! Kids love the quesadillas

Unfortunately, the carne asada torta is no longer savory or well prepared anymore. It's more on the bland side with chewy meat. Furthermore the chips are missing more seasoning. Not sure why the changes were made. read more

After a night of drinking, I woke up today and wanted a breakfast burrito. I wanted to splurge and spend 14 bucks on something good, and figured I didn't want to be too full for the entire day, so I ended up at Spanglish because their burritos is a tad bigger than a taco bell burrito. I phone ordered an asada breakfast burrito with bacon. It came out to be 14.61. The price of this is comparable to ordering at a sitdown restaurant with full service. I get to the hole in the wall spot and there was no line. I paid my tab and got the food and went home to enjoy. I took a few bites out of the burrito and thought to myself, this is nasty. What kind of asada is this. I peered at the burrito and noticed there was no asada! It was just bacon. Now the question is, if the instructions to make a burrito was simple and color coded, and i am paying for asada and there's no line, how did they mess up?? There's a lack of quality control, or just plain English, they don't care. I urge anyone ordering food here to open the wrapper and open the burrito, before leaving to make sure the order was right. This place is pricey, the food is meh, if you're lazy to cook, but don't get screwed. read more

I love the food here and I love my crispy shrimp taco and I ordered today. The Carnitas torta which I have ordered so many times cause it's so delicious and I continue to order it even though they've cut back a lot on how much meat they have in it but today I don't know what happened. It's like somebody I mean it was so excessive. It was like the top came off the salt shaker while they were pouring it there was so much salt that it burnt my tongue when I was eating it. It was almost inedible, and I have to try and control myself, and I finish the whole thing in one setting usually I'm saying this has a heads up cause I don't know what happened really the salt was so of that and I love salt that it had to have been something got messed up so I just want to give you heads up so you better check that out. I don't think it was during preparation. I don't know. I'm mostly missed the delight. I was expecting because I had anticipated it. read more

It's my first time trying this spot. I got the Nacho Fries (Pastor.) The pork was alright and I was expecting the fries to be a little crispier. The cashier gave a sad tone but it's New Year's Eve so I shouldn't expect anything more. The overall look of the sitting area was nice though since they've renovated the place. I'll be back for more. read more
