had a group here with some friends. I really love the ambience, which was very Instagram social media picture friendly there were so many moments to take photos. They had so many backdrops of and murals as well as affects to their walls and picture moments. The food and the service were excellent even with the mistakes were made. They were course corrected, and I would definitely go back here again. read more

Great ambiance and staff. Friendly and helpful. The food was just a little underwhelming.

The service was horrible, I was overcharged. Called to discuss my complaint with the employee/ manager. I was talked to like a child. I have my receipt and had to call the police due to an authorized charge. I was told to contract the birthday girl and ask her to Venmo me money back. Very rude and unprofessional. I would be wrong if I contacted ICE since we were racial profiled. read more

Food was great and surprised by the cool decor after we walked in. Great queso and the "Cali-style" burrito with fries inside was awesome. Great drinks and awesome service! read more

Came in with a large party and we were advised that our food would be comped due to orders being incorrect, never received, or served improperly. We were told we would only be responsible for alcoholic beverages. However, several days later, every person in our group was charged an additional $40-$50 on top of what we paid the night of the visit. When speaking with a member of management, we were told that our party "walked out on the tab" and that, per the advisement of the police department, they were charging us for the food they claim we didn't pay for. This makes absolutely no sense -- if someone walks out on a bill, how would you obtain their credit card information? We all have signed receipts, and we all waited in line and paid the amounts we were charged before leaving the restaurant. The manager has been unprofessional throughout this entire situation. Even when there is a disagreement, there is still a professional way to handle business. Do not give this establishment your credit card. read more

The food was good but it took almost an hour from the time we got there until food arrived. Only 3 tables had customers. You have to buy chips and salsa. The queso dip was just melted cheese. The restaurant looks like an owl warehouse. I tried to give them a shot but will have to pass on going back. read more

My wife and I tried this spot at the recommendation of a mutual friend as Hixson is not a normal destination city for our restaurant selections. We arrived early so there were very few people there, and we picked a spot adjacent to the bar. The restaurant has a "fun", "hip" vibe, consistent I would offer with some of their takes on traditional Mexican dishes. It's a broad menu, with a few surprises. As we sipped on our custom margaritas, munching on our chips, salsa and queso, we made or entree decisions. a chicken mole and burrito. The salsa was a bit mild for our liking, and the queso while very flavorful, was a bit watery, but as it cooled, the consistency moved to where you would like. The food presentation was unbelievable, there was some real talent demonstrated, and the food itself, did not disappoint. Great service by our waiter who walked that fine line between becoming a distraction and discreetly assuring an overall enjoyable eating experience. This one folks is worth giving a try! read more

Slow service, double the cost and no Chips and salsa. If this is modern I miss the good old days. It use to be a great tradition place.

Best Mexican restaurant in the area!!! I absolutely love your food!! Haven't tried anything off the menu that I didn't like!!!

Was very impressed at the extensive and varied menu, containing items you rarely find at other Mexican restaurants such as mole & sopas. They were fantastic and beautifully plated! The wait staff were kind and did a great job. Skip the same old same old & eat here. read more

Came for a quick lunch while waiting for my friend. I've been dreaming of the pineapple margarita ever since! I sat at the bar and the service was great. I also ordered the Tinga taquitos and they were a 10/10. Very chill spot and wasn't too crowded. read more

We had a fantastic lunch at Spanglish! I ordered the chicken fajitas and my partner ordered the chimichanga. Both were delicious. Cooked to perfection and served quickly. The service was excellent. All our needs were met and the server was very friendly. The restaurant was so festive inside. Nice brute colors and yet dark. I love me a low lite atmosphere! I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I forgot to snap a pic of our lunch, but it was tasty. The restaurant was dim with colorful art and murals. It reminded me of a Tex Mex place you'd find in TX. It was a nice surprise to find a cool new spot in the Hixson area. It would be a fun spot for a dinner with friends or a bday gathering with good food. read more

Service was very slow and food was mediocre. No chips and salsa like a normal Mexican restaurant. Overpriced

200% The best Mexican food I've ever ate in the Chattanooga area! The waiter was cool as could be and the restaurant itself was amazing. The art on the wall and lights was amazing read more

Decide if you want to be a Mexican restaurant or a sports bar. Not doing either particularly well. Used to be my family's favorite Mexican spot. Last time the service and food were mediocre. My salsa had a big frozen chunk in the middle. Doesn't really scream fresh. Much better Mexican options within a mile. read more

The atmosphere was really cool. It was rather loud so it is hard to have a conversation without yelling. The food price was higher than most Mexican style restaurants. However, the food was really good but still hard to pay $98 for two margaritas, dip trio, two side tacos, kids meal and two tostadas. The service wasn't great. Nothing came out at the same time. Not even the drinks and we had to remind them constantly for things. I am willing to give it another try because I do feel like the food quality was better than an average Mexican style restaurant but maybe that is why two tostados cost $12.00 read more

The atmosphere was quite different than what I thought it would look like from the outside. They were doing loud construction on the place while we ate lunch there so that was not enjoyable. The food was really quite good and our server was great. Would go back to eat dinner. Not really a great lunch vibe. read more

It was my first time visiting this place. I ordered the street tacos, they were OK. Chips and salsa were complementary and the salsa was pretty good as far as ambience. It was so dark inside I could barely see my food and the air conditioner was on full blast, felt like I was in Antarctica eating my tacos. Service was great. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The prices are in line with other establishments of this ilk. The service is fast and fantastic. The food is pretty damn good (been here numerous times). The ambiance is a little "clubby" with the paint job and music but it does make it fun! If you go with a group of age (drinking) try the tower margarita, it's the best bang for your buck! read more

Strong drinks, healthy portions for a fair price. Ambiance is very cool, the lighting highlighting different colors with very well done murals of notables like Frida Kahlo. Has a slight bar vibe as opposed to a traditional restaurant but we enjoyed it and it's very clean. We really liked the salsa and queso, the salsa had a nice but very slight kick to it, and it was fresh. My barra tacos were filling and loaded with flavor. The chimichanga was insanely huge. We have tons of leftovers. The margaritas use real agave and juices pressed daily, no pre-mix sweet and sour here. Service was excellent, but we were almost the only ones in the restaurant at 2:30 on a Monday. We'll certainly be back and highly recommend. read more

High quality food. A bit pricy, no free chips. Probably the best margarita I've had in years. Flautas we're good but I wish the sauce was on them directly. Most fell off. Between the $8 cheese dip and no free chips I probably won't be back. But the place overall is nice. read more

We had high hopes for this place. The vibe is awesome. The food sucked. Over price Mexican food. I had a Torta beef. The beef was like beef jerky. The lady had a burrito. The burrito was good but temperature was just Luke warm. I ordered 2 beers. The first one was in a frosty mug and the second was in a hot mug. The place was only 25% occupied. They did have a Large party this evening so that may have been part of the problem. We seen other guest turning food away they had waited so long. I was so hyped to try this place but I do not see me coming back. I did express my concerns but always pay for what I ordered. This is my first and last trip. I hope you have a better experience. read more

Right off the bat the server was exceptional. I could not read the menu and she offered to tell me about the items. Chips and salsa was promptly brought to the table and she checked on us throughout the meal. I found the enchiladas verdas were outstanding but my husband's steak tacos were out of this world. There is a slight char on the meat that gives it an incredible flavor. I'm going to get a steak burrito next time. The ambiance isn't bad. But don't let that stop you because the food and service make up for it. Just look at the picture. Good parking, good prices. read more

This looked more like a bar w food and music was a bit loud for us (we are 60+), but service was fast and the food was actually really good. Ambiance was good for a younger crowd and it looked like they were set up for bands, etc. Only 4stars mainly because of the loud music. It was had to talk over and it was only 6pm. read more

Anniversary treat from the staff 10/10 dessert Tres leches, perfect flavors and beautiful presentation!

Being from Southern California I find that the common theme here for Mexican food is different than what I'm used to. Spanglish however gets me and I'm excited to say delivers! I went for lunch and had the tacos! The setting looks geared towards an evening crowd. I was told before ordering that they don't offer ground beef for any of their dishes (oh happy days, I'm in the right place) Next is their salsa, it has a great spicy flavor. I was so excited to learn that the owner's are also from SoCal and want to share their style of Mexican food with Chattanooga. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend you give it a try! read more

Came in for a late Tuesday lunch--terrific decor and several different style seating options. Friendly staff, offered several good recommendations when asked. Nice variety on the menu--we chose the first recs of Birria tacos and Barbacoa flautas to share. Delicious! Look forward to our next meal here. read more

So honestly probably more a 4 or 4.5 but this early in it's review process I'd rather it get more attention. Food was some of the best Mexican-american style in the area. Salsa was unique tasting but very good. Margaritas were okay not great which is only factor in less than 5 stars. Very cool party/club style atmosphere. Definitely will be back. read more
