A little disappointed in the quality of food this time. Spanglish kitchen use to be my go to, which is why I am so sad for my two unpleasant experiences. $17 shrimp salad portion was very skimped, and the quality of it being made was lacking. It looked and tasted as if they were in a rush and just threw it all together. The avocado was missing and salad was drenched in dressing. I couldn't eat it, as it was watery from all the dressing. Had a picnic event to rush to so didn't have time to go back, but I gave a two star because the young lady at the pick up counter was very attentive and friendly. At this point, I feel it might be a hit or miss. Hope you have a yummier experience. read more

Spanglish Kitchen - $17 shrimp salad - Mexican Near Me - Alhambra, California

Very tasty hole in the wall, window service and tables outside Mexican joint: Several tacos were all good, fish and carnitas and carne asada all on point. I had never had a huarache before - sort of a flat bread with (in my case) al pastor that was delicious. Horchata on point. Definitely a good place to get your taqueria fix. read more

My wife and I stumbled in after driving through Montebello and visiting Amy's Bakery for delicious pastries. The was an eclectic neighborhood lunch crowd outside and my wife has been wanting to stop here. We were hungry and pleasantly satisfied! She ordered a carne asada burrito and I tried the ribeye taco. (The ribeye was not as tender as I was expecting but still very hearty.) Both were packed with familiar and delicious flavors! I want to try their Pozole next time (available on Sat-Sun). We'll be back on the next trip! read more

I stopped by for lunch. There were a couple people waiting to get their orders taken. They were taking phone orders at the same time so there was a bit of a hold. My partner and I ordered the carnitas chilaquiles, a lengua taco, and a crispy fish taco. The food was solid. I liked how crispy the fish taco was! The only draw back I have was that the tacos were on the pricier side compared to the prices of street tacos. There's parking right in front of the stall, however due to its shared space with other shops, there is very limited parking spots. There is a small lot behind that only allows for 30 mins parking. Street parking is available! There's no indoor seating but there's a couple tables and chairs for outdoor seating. It's alongside the street so you will get some traffic alongside you if you decide to sit and dine. read more

I been to this place about 3 times before so I'm very disappointed to say what my last experience was . I normally have gotten their shrimp burritos and their tacos and they were good but tonight i got chicken enchiladas and my son got shrimp enchiladas, the chicken was so nasty undercooked and looked slimy , my son said his food was just ok , but I had to take my food and put it in my oven to cook it more I took most of the filling out and left what chicken looked decent . I do like this place but I wouldn't recommend enchiladas read more

Delicious food, incredible service, and very kind staff! Their cafe de Olla is honestly one of the best ones I've had! I definitely will be back & look forward to trying more items on their menu. read more

Overall the food is pretty good. I got the shrimp burrito, the shrimp is big and it's flavorful. But I found a piece of shrimp shell inside and I wanted my burrito to cut in half but they didn't. I would try their other items next time. read more

They don't care anymore. They used be good now their taste like chemicals. Is it me or I'm just trippin. Don't ever special order anything because they won't come. I don't think the cooks give a F anymore. read more

$19 for a burrito??!!!??!?! The only thing "glish" about Spanglish Kitchen is the outrageous Americanized prices. A real Mexican place would NEVER have a list of MENU ITEMS THAT DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PRICES and then after innocently ordering at the window, you get hit with a bill for $41.99 for 2 burritos. Yup, you read that right, $$41.99 FOR 2 BURRITOS AT A PLACE WHERE YOU ORDER AT A WINDOW WITHOUT ONE TABLE TO SIT DOWN AT OUTSIDE. F U Spanglish Kitchen. I don't care if this burrito made me orgasm after each bite then poop shiny gold coins, no burrito is worth that amount of money at a grimy, fast food spot. Shame on you. read more

Spanglish Kitchen - $19 for a burrito?!?!???!!! Even if it made gold poop out my ass, I will NEVER come back to Spanglish Kitchen. - Mexican Near Me - Alhambra, California

Been coming here since they opened... Love the concept, the food is good, especially the sauces. But... the stuff I usually order I'm always disappointed in someway... Like a I don't know 13 $14 shrimp burrito and it's got three shrimps in it that kind of disappointment... Like I said, I do like it, but I try not to go here. Sometimes I just go myself and I'll spend 25 bucks just on lunch which I have too many other choices. Like the proximity at the liquor store with the tall Kirens read more

I only tried their Al pastor tacos and it was pretty dry and didn't taste fresh. The salsas were also not memorable lol so wouldn't recommend the Al pastor meat here! read more

I really like this place, but they changed their online ordering and it never works anymore. I used to order here at least once a week, usually twice. Always get the Pozole on weekends. But since they switched from Toast, the online ordering is always broken in some way and doesn't work. You can order there, but the wait time can be long, and I order a burrito with a lot of customizations, just some much easier online to do all that than yelling it at them from outside through the window, and then waiting in the hot sun for 20 minutes. Oh well..... read more

The food and everything was alright and I don't mind paying, but they only filled up the 3/4 of my cup and 1/2 of it was ice.at the moment I didn't even ask him to fill up the cup properly because I felt like a begger while I paid almost 5$ for the horchata. As I said I don't mind if you charging me, charge me 6_7_8$ but give me what you charged me for. read more

Love their torta. Actually basically all of their food is amazing. The chips that come with the torta, they grow on you.

Enchiladas are the best thing here and the bbq chicken. Some other stuff I've tried but they were 1 time tries to put it nicely. Not a bad spot though. Parking lot gets tight during peak hours especially due to the neighboring businesses like the liquor store or smoke shop. Orders can be placed ahead of time which is a time saver. Small outside dining area for dining in. Not a bad spot though and a friendly price for decent food. read more

Spanglish should be called "Bubba Gump's" because you never know what you're gonna get. Used to be. One of our favorite spots for a clean but flavor packaged burritos. But in the last year or so - this place has totally fallen off. I keep giving it a chance because I really did love it. But half the time the order is either wrong, the shrimp are dry and overcooked, beans are missing, etc etc. sometimes it's delicious but most times it's disappointing. I expect more from Spanglish/ Especially for the price! read more

I wanted to give 3.5 stars. The food was good. However, like some of the other comments, it was slightly lacking in flavor. But I would go back. I was happy with the food. Potato taco was good, a little bland. Al pastor, had no pineapple. Whole reason we got it. Grilled fish taco was aight, dry. Asada fries were definitely dry BUT the fries were perfectly cooked. So with a ton of hot sauce and ketchup, they weren't too bad. read more

Spanglish Kitchen - Al Pastor Taco (lacked pineapple) - Mexican Near Me - Alhambra, California

Hole-in-the-wall vibes done right. Spanglish is one of those tiny outdoor-only spots you'd probably drive right past if you didn't already know about it. Just a few picnic tables on the sidewalk, string lights, and a small ordering window--that's the whole setup. But the food? Worth seeking out. I went with the flank steak tacos and they were... good, but not great. The flavor was solid--nice char, good seasoning--but the meat itself was pretty chewy. Not sure if it was a tougher cut or just needed a little more tenderizing love. That said, the regular carne asada and al pastor tacos my friends ordered were straight fire. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, with that crispy edge on the al pastor that makes you want to order seconds immediately. The tortillas were fresh and soft, salsas had good heat without overpowering, and the cilantro/onion combo was on point. Staff was super friendly and quick with smiles even when the line got long (and it does--place gets busy fast, especially evenings and weekends). Heads up: orders take a bit longer than you might expect at a casual taco spot, so don't roll up starving with only 10 minutes to spare. Overall, solid tacos in a no-frills setting. I'll definitely be back to load up on more al pastor and carne asada. If you're in the area and want authentic-tasting street-style tacos without the fancy overhead, Spanglish is worth the stop. **4/5 stars** Would return: Yes read more

Great outdoor seating with six tables for four, all nicely shaded! The environment is clean and inviting. They offer a variety of salsas to suit every taste--mild, medium, and spicy. My favorite was definitely the spicy one. The horchata cold brew and pineapple drink were both tasty and authentic, though a bit on the sweet side for me. The asada breakfast burrito gets an 8.5/10 from me, and the chorizo one a 8.5/10 from my wife. Overall, really good spot--I'd come back. Portion sizes are just right, not too big or small. read more

Spanglish Kitchen is OK. I've been curious about this spot for a minute so when my friend asked if I wanted to go and after he raved about it, I was excited to finally try it I'm not hating on this spot by any means, but I just wasn't blown away. I ordered nachos (no meat) and enjoyed them. They weren't terrible or anything, but they were just alright. Their agua de sandia was a bit too sweet for my liking, though I wouldn't be the first to tell my friends I want to go here but if they say want to go, I wouldn't be opposed, either. There's a decent amount of parking here and a nice side patio for seating read more

If you are in the mood for a PERFECTLY wrapped burrito, filled with dissapointment and flavorless beans this place is for you. The customer service is odd and the food is decent if you are starving. I took a chance with the Al pastor burrito and it was disappointing. Maybe the other menu items are better, I probably won't be coming back. read more

Got the chicken burritos on uber eats and it was amazing. So tasty. I'd definitely come back here. Size is small but the portions are filling. Guacamole is so fresh, so divine. Would come here to try more items!! read more

Despite the other star reviews. The food was terrible. The food was dry. The guacamole appeared old. I had high expectation especially since it is such a small spot, I figured good food would be served. Parking is very difficult. read more

One thing for sure is that they don't know how to answer their phone for mobile orders. I was so curious to see if they were busy, so I pulled up and called again and saw that they didn't even bother answering the phone... not good customer service at all. Makes me think is waiting the 15 minutes for the food even worth it. read more

Friendly staff and the food is fresh and delicious, would get it again! But the wait for food is rather long.

I love this spot, I live close by, the food is great, highly recommend. The service - you will wait 30-45 minutes no matter what time of day, if the line is short or long, if you order ahead or at the window. Give yourself at least an hour. I don't know why, everyone is nice, but it's like the kitchen is slow motion? I dunno. But needs some pep in the step and a revamp back there. read more

I'll start by saying that I ordered food from here through a delivery service, so I had no in person interaction with staff, nor did I see the restaurant itself. With that said, I loved the food!! I got the pastor breakfast burrito and it was delish! The green salsa and the pico de gallo were yummy! There was a nice kick to the green salsa, but nothing too crazy. I also got a side of chips and guac and I have to say, it was probably one of my favorite restaurant guacamoles ever! Plus, you could tell the chips were fresh, making it even better! Definitely will be going in person next time to try out more things! read more

I always order to go since I don't live far sometimes menudo other times burrito theres a generous portion of meat on menudo and the burrito is a meal by itself I feel satisfied everytime the service is fast and employees are very courteous read more

Online ordering is a breeze - but accuracy of estimated timing can be hit or miss. My faves are their breakfast burritos, the fried fish taco (soft taco) and the potato taco which has a hard shell. I would pass on the fried shrimp taco in the future since it's not a great value. My last order came with 2 small shrimp. On the other hand the fried fish taco comes with a huge fried fillet and is very tasty. There are so many food options in this area but Spanglish works for a large group of people because it has a wide variety of options including salads which I don't see at many Mexican restaurants. read more

Love the flan! My go to place for menudo on the weekend. Unfortunately you don't get tortillas but I am ok with it since it adds carbs. lol. The bacon breakfast burritos are a must and sopes. read more

Food tastes good overall -- definitely better than your average taco truck. The burrito was solid, the fries were really good, and the mild salsa had great flavor. The tacos were okay, and the torta felt like it was missing something, just not as flavorful as the rest. What brought the experience down a bit was the service. The person taking my order didn't greet me, had an earphone in, and couldn't really hear me. She just seemed annoyed or pissed off, which made the whole interaction feel uncomfortable I'd still come back for the food, but the customer service could definitely be better. read more

BE CAREFUL!! I love their grilled fish burrito and grilled shrimp tacos BUT... Ive gotten food poisoning the last two times I ordered it (a week apart) the first time, I had the runs for almost a full day. the 2nd time, had the runs for a few hours (it was the only food I had eaten that day). Besides that, i've enjoyed their carne asada & al pastor burritos/tacos. their potato taco was very yummy too. Their watermelon aqua Fresca was delicious. Their menu prices are not displayed anywhere (online or in person) which is annoying. You'll receive a very small discount if you pay with cash. They have 3 sauces that are all yummy (the green one is my favorite). They have an outdoor eating area. Parking is decent n I have never had an issue finding parking. It is conveniently located next to a smoke shop and a liquor store. I'm not sure I would ever order any seafood there again; they are either using old seafood or have unsanitary conditions. read more

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

WHEN: 5/31/23 (wednesday) PARKING: located in a small but busy strip mall with about 10 parking spots They only have togo here which makes it super easy to order and quick to pick up. True to their name they have American style Mexican food with a classic items (like mole). What we got: 1. Chicken mole enchiladas ($12.50) -- the mole was on the sweet side but still a hit 2. Pastor fries ($11.25) -- fries and meat were really dry but portion size was large 3. Shrimp burrito ($12.80) -- fat burrito with lots of shrimp and even had corn and diced zucchini The food is pretty cheap and the portions are nicely priced! Food was delicious, definitely a good option for on the go or eating at home 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 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

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

Spanglish Kitchen - Crispy Shrimp Tacos & Watermelon Agua Fresca - Mexican Near Me - Alhambra, California

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
