Omg! Long overdue review.
I love Spanglish kitchen. The huarache- I've tried asada, carnitas but the al pastor is a must. Chicken taquitos and potato tacos are delicious. I have also tried their asada burrito.
Highly recommend any of those items. As for the salsa I love the green and habanero salsa enjoy! -

Came here with a friend on a Saturday night around 6 pm. This spot has a lot of $2 tacos options and even better taco Tuesday its $1 tacos! Taco about a steal! We both ordered 2 tacos each since we were planning to grab dessert nearby afterwards! Definitely have to save your stomach for some dessert! I ordered a chicken taco and an al pastor and my friend a chorizo and an al pastor. The presentation was spot on and it was super tasty, plus try all 3 sauces if you can, they have the habanero, red, and green salsas! The sauce contain that it is in is pretty big compared to the usual taco spots I go to where they give you a mini plastic container, this one was the big one! The tacos were extremely flavorful and tasty!
Parking here is cramped because its shared with a liquor store, but if you are lucky you will land one of the spots. Fortunately we found a spot but next to a super long storage truck van on the left, then after when we were leaving, another one parked on our right which made it extremely hard to see when we were leaving. However thank god for backup cams to the rescue! If you can try not to go during the busy times
The reason our dining experience was not the most pleasant was that since we were seated outdoor, there were a lot of mosquitos, I mean a LOT! I did not expect a place to have so many. They were flying all over us, especially me since I wore shorts and a tank since it was about high 90s that day. My friend wore long pants and still got bit around her ankles. I was able to kill one mosquito but my friend said there were several. Definitely be cautious if you can. I counted a total of 5 bites on my left leg, one on my right, 2 on my left arm, and 2 on my back. I'm resisting from scratching my itch right now as I type this review.
Overall, if it were not for the bites, then this spot could have easily been a 4 or 5 star review and we would be back here for every taco Tuesday if we could. Due to the mosquitos we will have to wait until the mosquito season is over before we return! However, other than that the food was pretty good, the tacos were gorgeous, sauces amazing! -

I really wanted to like this place because it was so cute. You order at the window and then find a place to sit in their patio area.
Pros:
Nice sized menu
Horchata - delicious
Pozole - tender pieces of pork in a tasty red broth
Cons:
Pastor Taco - the meat was super dry and it lacked flavor. I suppose I could've doused it with salsa, but I couldn't get over how dried out the meat was.
Chilaquiles - this was essentially fried tortilla chips with diced tomatoes, scrambled eggs, and sour cream on it. It was desperately missing a red or green sauce. The only sauce was the grease.
So I gave this place 3 stars, since some of the items were good, but I really can't get over the taco. That should be a staple! -

Meh. I wanted to like this place, given the high ratings but the food didn't live up to my expectations.
I came with my family around 8pm and it was not busy at all. Also this place is not dine in, but don't worry as they have outside seating with plenty of tables and chairs.
Our orders:
ASADA BURRITO ($9): 3/5
CHICKEN BURRITO ($8): 3/5
Burritos come with side of chips and pico de gallo! Pricey for the portions as we expected a much bigger burrito. Just mediocre burritos, nothing too special or amazing.
CEVICHE ($7): 4/5
Seafood tasted fresh and was the best thing I had out of everything we ordered. (They only have this on FRI/SAT/SUN) Comes with chips and some slices of avocado. I wish they had given more avocado though ):
SIDE OF FRIES ($3): 3/5
Fries were extremely oily, limpy, sad, and not crispy at all when we first got it. But they were kind enough to re-fry our order and it tasted MUCH better. (Similar to In-N-Out fries..but I'm not sure if they use fresh potatoes)
They have 3 sauces:
Red, Green, and Habanero
The red sauce gave off a very unpleasant taste, just did not taste good. Other two sauces were decent.
Service was top notch though as they were extremely kind to give us limes, ketchup, and more sauce if we asked.
Overall.. would I come here again? Eh probably not but I must say I'm tempted to come back for their Taco Tuesdays for their $1 tacos (Maybe that may sway my mind about this place!) -

What is there not to love about Spanglish? First off, the menu is extensive, they have it all, burritos, tacos, chilaquiles, etc. They have a variety of meats to choose from including chicken, chorizo, carne asada, al pastor. And the prices are pretty decent. I stopped by for an order to go and grabbed 4 tacos. My wait wasn't very long and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I loved my tacos, my only complaint is that I wish I ordered more.
Keep in mind to park on the side streets as theirs lot is very small and cramped. Also, all seating and ordering of food is outdoors. There is a small side patio for you to enjoy your food if you choose to eat there. I really love this spot and highly recommend it if your looking for good food. Also, don't forget to grab their delicious salsa, goes great on the tacos.
