Came to Spanglish for a quick bite and really enjoyed it. The guac was a 10/10 well seasoned. The chicken empanadas were easily my favorite also a 10/10 really satisfying.I also tried a piña colada it wasn't bad just a bit light for my taste since I prefer mine a little stronger. The space is small but really cute and decorative which makes the atmosphere beautiful and inviting. The staff was kind and attentive throughout the visit which makes the experience better read more

My BFF and I decided last minute on this spot. Service was amazing. Food and drinks were mediocre. Live music on a Saturday night made it difficult to chat with each other. read more

This is a very small but well decorated little place on Northern Blvd. in Bayside. We came in for their lunch special and were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and drinks. Their margaritas , as expected, were quite good as was their guac and chips appetizer. Their lunch specials start with house salad (delicious dressing) or soup (chicken today, very hearty & good!) We enjoyed the grilled salmon (with morita sauce, mashed potatoes and avocado) and tilapia offerings (a nice sauce on top, see photos). Good portions and cooked to our liking. We ended with churros (with Nutella sauce!) and flan, both tasty and sweet. Service was quick and friendly, so we will definitely return to our new neighborhood Mexican place! read more

Spanglish is a-really fun spot on Bell Blvd that offers a nice variety of Latin inspired food items. I was there for brunch and it is a really lovely, fun, party like atmosphere. There were several tables/ parties occurring while I was there. The bottomless option is a great value and the drinks are refilled often. I would go back again on a weekend for brunch! read more

It's a cute spot; small but cute; great happy hour selections, music was good, bartender was attentive.

I enjoy restaurant hopping once in a while. I always passed by Spanglish, but never stopped in. Today I did. I went inside nice and mysterious, Dawn of the Dead. The menu is really colorful, beautiful photo on the front. There was one thing I didn't do right off the back. I wonder if you know what that is? I did check the bathroom to see if it was clean. Why do I do that? Say it with me. "A clean bathrooms means a clean kitchen" If the bathroom isn't clean we don't eat from there.. If you read my reviews it's a thing for me. We sat down and ordered they had a 20.00 3 course meal. It was 3 of us and we all got it. Are you ready for the pictures? Here we go. So the reason for the 2 is I ordered chicken wings from there happy hour menu it was suppose to be 6 pieces and the plate had 4 it was very breaded and stuck together. Needless to say I sent that back. I switched sides with my sister gave her my mashed potatoes and took her Yellow rice. Her Yellow rice was cold. I asked for hot rice and the cook microwaved the rice. Ok. Not a fan. After that we went next door to Bourbon Street and had a ball follow me to the next review. :) read more

We were seated right away. The music was loud but the selection was great. We ordered some drinks and appetizers. The drinks were beautiful and delicious. The elote was flavorful and had a kick. The ceviche mixto was so fresh and delicious. All dishes were beautifully plated. The steak tacos were delicious. The carnitas tacos were good. The waitresses were pleasant. The service is a little slow. Our drinks took quite a while to get to the table. Everything seemed to be made with quality so I didn't mind the wait. I'd like to come back and try more items on the menu. read more

I came here for brunch with a friend this past weekend and took advantage of their brunch special which is $30 for unlimited mimosas or Bellinis with an entree. I thought that offer was great and I had came here before for dinner and enjoyed the food. I ordered their Spanish omelette which came with roasted potatoes and a Cesar salad. The potatoes were roasted perfectly and well seasoned. The salad was crunchy and fresh. The omelette was filled with beans, chorizo and other delicious components. The only thing I wasn't too crazy about was the mimosas. I felt like the first 2 really tasted like mimosas with the right amount of champagne and orange juice. However, by the 3rd glass, my mimosa only tasted like orange juice which was disappointing. If the offer is bottomless, I would expect the mimosas to be consistent throughout the whole 90 minutes. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive which was a plus. Not sure if I would pay their bottomless brunch again due to the inconsistency in the mimosas. read more

If you like small portions and high prices, then this place might be for you. My partner and I came here on a Friday afternoon. A lot of the reviews would lead you to believe that this place is jumpin' 24/7. For us, it was a ghost town. Not a single other customer from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. And based on our experience, I can certainly see why. From the get-go, this restaurant screamed "Fusion." That being "Lots of window-dressing to distract you from the fact that you're being ripped off." And I don't use the word "ripped off" lightly. But when the SET of 3 taquerias we ordered were roughly equal to the size of ONE at a lot of other Mexican restaurants, you know this isn't gonna end well. And the taquerias were barely filled. I can take tiny tacos if they're at least stuffed to the gills with meat, cheese and veggies. These were so empty, I talked into one of them and thought I heard an echo. The drinks were fine, but it hardly made up for the fact that even after finishing our meal AND a side of chips and guac, we were still hungry. The 3.75% fee for credit card payments was just icing on the venerable cake. I don't know why this restaurant has so many positive reviews, but I suspect a lot of them are either fake or by tourists. Please, people. You can do better. read more

We came here and had dinner with one of our dear friends in NY. She tells us it's a busy restaurant and we have to come early to avoid the crowd. I started my evening with a pitcher of Mojitos. It was pretty good. Next, we got our chips and guacamole. It tasted fresh and I like how crispy the chips were. I don't have a big appetite so I ordered three different kinds of tacos and an order of flautas to share with my wife. I love that they toasted the tortilla and to me, that's basic taco 101. Flautas were pretty good. the salsa on top was refreshing. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. For dessert, we tried their churros. It came with a chocolate dipping sauce. with fresh blueberries. It was a nice way to complete a great meal. We will come back again the next time we visit NY. read more

I need to take a star away because the music was incredibly too loud. My date and I couldn't hear each other at all until I sat next to her. I even saw one of my coworkers nearly walk in at some point but he didn't stay more than 5 seconds. When I saw him at work the next day, he said "the music was too loud." The food was good, slightly expensive but I've seen worse. We shared 2 veggie taco dishes. Service was good. But, again, our server didn't hear us order the tostones as a side because of the music! When we got her back and put in the order again, they were delicious. Clean bathroom (which is something I always account for in reviews). read more

One if my favorite spots on Bell! The food and drinks are consistently good. The bartender can make any type of margarita you want that's not on the menu. I usually go with a jalapeño margarita which is made to perfection. The dishes are large portions. Everything is good. Tacos are usually my go to. Recently I tried the fajitas & molcajeta, they did not disappoint. Venue is beautifully decorated, they also have outdoor seating. No reservations needed. DJ in the evenings. read more

The food is on point and the service is amazing. I highly recommend coming here for lunch and dinner.

I came here for a midweek (Wednesday) birthday celebration with 2 friends. On Wednesdays, they advertise $7 margaritas and $30 margarita pitchers. When the server came by we asked if we could have 2 margaritas off the special. For whatever reason, the server kept trying to steer us away from ordering the drink special and telling us to order from the regular menu because the size of drink is smaller. I didn't think it was necessary to say all that and when we stuck to our original choices, he seemed annoyed. We got our drinks at our table from another server who made a point to say "$7 margaritas" lol... if they don't want us ordering the item, take it off the menu. It's a Wednesday, we aren't looking to get wasted. Set a weird tone to the start of the night. The margarita was smaller but it was good. We ordered a salad to share and then our entrees. The food was better than I'd thought it would be. I got the skirt steak that came with some shrimp. Their rice and beans were very good. I tried a bite of everyone's entrees and everything was flavorful and seasoned well. We ended the night with churros. You can never go wrong with churros. The restaurant had 2 servers the entire night. Although the service was efficient, their attitudes were cold. read more

Food was tasty, . Service was on point . I recommend! Nicely decorated and good music

Went here for a friend's bday dinner. They have happy hour until 7pm, which was a plus on a Friday night! Music was good! Ordered a pitcher of Sangria and Mojito. We ordered empanadas, elotes, guacamole and chips to start, which were all pretty standard. I ordered fish tacos since I wasn't that hungry- which I found to be kind of bland. We asked for hot sauce several times, but it never made its way to our table, until after asking for the 5th time. By then, we were almost done eating. At the end, they sang happy birthday to my friend and gave us free tequila shots. read more

I love Spanglish! I've been here pre-COVID as well as for takeout and most recently outdoor dining! They take great precautions and even have you download the menu by scanning a QR code. The drinks here are definitely my favorite part- they frozen margaritas are super refreshing and delicious and come in a variety of flavors from peach to mango to raspberry! The food also amazing- I love their empanadas and tacos, however I recently tried the Penne Alla Vodka and it was SO good- they creamy tomato sauce was everything Would highly recommend for outdoor dining as well as takeout! read more

Went here two weeks ago with some friends that I haven't seen in a while. Food was good. Serving size ratio for the guac and chips was horrible. We needed way more chips. Service was not great. Music was extremely loud 85% of the time we were there. The music was a good tone when we walked in, where you can actually have a conversation with someone. Was extremely annoying to listen to that for close to 2 hours. Overall, it was an ok experience. Don't think I'd go back read more

I ate here approximately 2 weeks ago . I will start by saying , the grilled octopus appetizer might be the best octopus i have ever had . It was perfectly cooked , mushrooms potatoes lemon and the most delicious beet purée. The Chicken Enchilada with mole sauce was equally as delicious ! We finished dinner off with Flan made to perfection . Comfortable and casual . My only critique would be having to get up to get my check ( but that is forgivable ) read more

Spanglish NYC - Traditional margarita - Mexican Near Me - Bayside, New York

We came in because most of the restaurants in Whitestone were closing and we've tried almost every restaurant in Bayside. We were seated and appropriately taken care of. We ordered from the appetizers menu which was more than enough to fill us up. I Ended up getting the Ceviche Mixo, which was absolutely intense in flavor. The dressing was perfectly balanced between acidity and sweetness. The second appetizer I got was the Caesar Salad with steak topping. The steak was not cooked to my desired degree of doneness and served particularly charred on either side. The Parmesan was delicious that was drizzled over top of some very fresh lettuce. My girlfriend ordered the carne tacos and they were a bit underwhelming. The cheese melted inside was almost like store-brand American cheese. The second appetizer she ordered was the chicken empanada. Three words to describe it: Straight From Freezer The chicken tasted freezer burnt. The sauce it came with was smoky, slightly spicy but too heavy on the mayonnaise base. Basically ate both appetizers on a quarter glass of water. I was too embarrassed to get up and ask for a refill but the peppercorn in the caesar salad was overwhelming my throat so I grabbed our glasses and asked for a refill but read more

Spanglish NYC - Flan - Mexican Near Me - Bayside, New York

Spanglish is overall a nice place to try out if you're in the neighborhood. The service was good and with a friendly place. You can also tell the owner has put a lot of thought into the decor. Maybe the food style served there isn't for our palates but the Mexican Omelette was dry, I ordered over-easy eggs but got well done, and the tuna tartar was very fishy...and this from a guy who craves uni all the time, sweet or fishy. I'd come back again though and hopefully can update my review. read more

What a disappointment! We were looking forward to this place on a Saturday l, even before we knew there was a celebrity chef running the show. We were seated right away and I thought the loud electronic music was a bit much, but I'm open to new experiences. The music eventually was a hinderance as I had to really speak up to talk to my wife sitting right across from me. I expect that in a bar scene but dinner should be at a tolerable level. We looked over the menu which is really pricy for what it is. $24 enchilada? Get the hell out of here! Mexican food doesn't have to be dirt cheap, but I can get a great, authentic enchilada from numerous places for under $15. Big shot chefs have an ego that drives up prices on all of their menus and that drives me crazy. That being said we decided let's keep it simple and try a quesadilla and have a drink or two. They also bring out tortilla chips and a delicious salsa. The wines were pricey but I accept that in most places so this is no different. That being said my wife wanted a Rioja which they were out of. She had a backup of a Savignon Blanc and when she tasted it she didn't look happy. She had me try it and it tasted a little bitter and funky. She asked the waiter if the bottle had been opened for awhile and he said no but would go and check. He came over with a fresh bottle which was very professional. Upon tasting the wine again she replies "Oh no, this is just a bad wine". She sucked it up and drank the glass. Our mushroom quesadilla came out right away, which is good. The flavor was decent but the mushrooms were no existent, it should have been a cheese quesadilla at that point. I expected a lot more but got a run of the mill quesadilla with some cilantro and sauce on top. The size was decent and could be worth the $12. There was also a stem of some sorts that was very large and inedible (see picture). We couldn't wait to get out of there but eventually had to flag down the waiter because he hadn't been back in awhile. Overall just another overpriced restaurant with OKAY food. Not much to look forward to. read more

For those of you looking to relive that 1997 Cancun Spring Break club feel from your heyday this is the spot for you! Unsure of where to dine on a Friday night we unfortunately popped into Spanglish. We were greeted by blaring music which should have been our first cue to not enter, but we were hungry and they have good reviews. Offered a seat at any table to our liking we sat down and were given menus. The table was adorned with cheap fake flower from the dollar store. The menu would need to blow me away to want to dine in such a loud restaurant. I ordered a glass of Rioja and my husband ordered a Modelo. The server returned to inform me they were out of Rioja. So I ordered a glass of sauv blanc which was gross. The waiter opened a new bottle for me, oh wait this is just not a good sauv blac. Music still blaring we order a mushroom quesadilla to hold us over and we turned to yelp to decide where we should go to actually eat dinner. The tortilla chips and salsa brought to the table were good. The quesadilla had about 4 mushrooms on it and the cheese was almost melted. There was really nothing special about it. This is Queens we know Mexican food and this quesadilla is nada compared to what I can get. 1 glass of overpriced bad wine, 1 beer, 1 quesadilla, and a headache from the loud music $35. Upon research David Arias' background seems well rounded but celebrity chef seems to be a stretch and perhaps self-proclaimed. read more
