I go every Friday, I get a cheese quesadilla and a coke. Best tradition ever!

We love this local place. Always good food and generous portions. Friendly staff. Easy parking. They also cater so if you love their food, it’s great for parties.

My parents and I had the best meal for my belated birthday!!! We had a great time!!! Hopefully we will return soon!!!

Long-Awaited Visit Worth the Hype

After years of saying “I need to stop in”, I finally made it to Spanishtown Mexican Restaurant, and I’m glad I did. Coastside locals, take note—this spot is absolutely worth a visit (and repeat visits).

What We Ordered (see photos):

Guava Margarita
Cadillac Jalapeño Margarita
Chimichanga
Mole Chicken
Guacamole with Chips

Drinks:
The margaritas were on point. Balanced, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick. The guava margarita was refreshing, and the Cadillac with jalapeño brought the perfect heat.

Food:
The mole sauce stood out—deep, rich, and clearly made in-house. It had layers of flavor that hit all the right notes. The chimichanga was perfectly crisped and generously filled, and the homemade tortillas were a warm, comforting touch that took things to the next level.

Don’t skip the guac—it’s fresh and satisfying. And shout-out to the table “hot” salsa—legit had me laughing through the heat, in the best way.

Service & Atmosphere:
Friendly, fast, and easygoing. The team here was on top of things and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering.

Final Verdict:
Thumbs up all around. Great food, solid drinks, and genuine vibes. As a coastside local, this one’s going into the regular rotation. Already looking forward to the next round of mole and margaritas.

The food was not cooked right. The chicken was pink and the wrong consistency. The prices are very expensive.

Lovely restaurant with lovely outside seating area. Great value for the al a carte dish (only £5 for a fresh quesadilla). Polite and quick service.

Found this gem off the beaten path 2 blocks from Main Street. Been around 4 years. Had the crab enchiladas black beans & rice. Service was wonderful & they’ve definitely got a community following. Prices reasonable. Large outside patio & back entrance if stairs are not your thing

Nice atmosphere but the food was terrible. The salsa was really tasteless and the rice was super dry. We had fish tacos but they were hardly seasoned and felt like eating rubber.

I'm not sure why this place has good reviews. My lady and I came here and had lunch. When we opened our napkin, there was a cockroach that fell out, at that time Our food was being served, so we said we didn't want anything she asked me, was there anything else we wanted to eat? I'm sorry, but when you see a cockroach, you leave.I would never come here again And when we tried to bring it up to the waitress attention, she looked at us like we were dumb, obviously the cockroach was still on the table, and she said, it's not a big deal, absolutely disgusting I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DO NOT COME HERE

Not really fresh food, food is tasteless, no natural spices at all how Mexican food should taste like use some spices like garlic, paprika something like sea salt at least! All food tastes out of a can including Salsas. Not worth it at all. I ordered a coffee and it was also old and tasted burnt, Horchata and Lemonade are made out of a powder, so expect everything else to be and taste bad as canned food tastes like. Not worth the price at all. Mexican food is Actually easy to make and if they cant do that they are cheap and lazy, not really Mexican at all! Better buy yourself a organic canned meal instead. I'm Mexican and cook and I was sooo disappointed on this horrible food. It's a shame.
