Loved the place for more than 30 years....love Abhi and the innovations he has brought to bring this wonderful restaurant! For us, it's home.
Vibe- This is a big colorful building on the outside and inside! I love the tables, they have a mosaic tile look and it gives me Spanish vibes for sure. There’s so many tables, I counted about 35-40 tables; some small and a few larger ones.
Customer service- Great, the staff was very friendly and helpful!
Food/drinks- I got chips and salsa to start, enchiladas with the beyond meat, and a side salad. I also ordered a mango margarita. Everything was delish!
I specifically came here because I saw that they offer vegan options. There isn’t a printed menu but you can get tacos, a quesadilla, or nachos; mostly with beyond meat, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Parking- I parked on the street where there was a sign saying no parking 4-6pm (I went around 2 pm). I could imagine parking being difficult at busy times
Everything had great flavor! The charro beans were the best. The drinks were fire. So good. The quesadilla was cheesy and filled with fajita meat. The fajita plate was awesome. We will definitely be back.

Visited recently and got the Sunbelt plate which was very good. They may have a new cook now because this was the best meal I got there in the last 10 years.
The salsa there is more of just a hot sauce but even it was a little thicker which was a step up from the watery sauce before. I was impressed and satisfied. If they could get all the girls to come out of their gossip circle and watch the customers more they could probably get back on track again.
***REVIEW WAS FOR SPANISH/LITTLE VILLAGE BEFORE NEW OWNERSHIP REMOVED THE VEGAN MENU***
I love this place. The atmosphere is very inviting and the staff including the owner are so friendly and personable. The staff remembered me after my FIRST visit despite me getting a full hair-do change in between my first and second visits. The vegan menu here is amazing! I love breakfast tacos and the price for both quality and quantity is excellent. Every time I get the munchies late at night I crave their chorizo, just egg and potato tacos!! 😻
I’d like to address one of the only bad reviews here by a woman named Joy. She is largely known in the vegan community to be a horrible nag. It is a disappointment that a schoolteacher in Pasadena would be such a gross, disrespectful and entitled person towards our local vegan businesses, especially at one as pleasant as Spanish Village!
Unfortunately after 50 years, Spainish Village is going to be closing. The history of this restaurant reverberates from the walls and will be gap in neighborhood when their doors close officially. While working on 288, our team would routinely grab lunch here. The food was always good and the service always friendly.
I love that this place has a dedicated vegan menu in addition to their standard menu. There were many options that sounded appetizing so I had a hard time choosing. I went with the vegan Motherclucker burrito and it was delicious! I did wish it came with a sauce on the side but I liked that it wasn’t a standard burrito. My company got the 2 beef tacos with impossible meat (and regular cheese) and the vegan impossible beef enchiladas. Happy faces all around! Especially after a Ferrero Rocher cake slice!
I have never tried all the years living in 3rd Ward. I heard it was under new ownership. That day 12-21-21
I was in a car accident afterwards hungry and frustrated about the incident. I decided get something to eat. I went in talked to ladies that severed me. I told them what happened. They gave me a margarita 🍹 to calm my nerves. It was probably the best margarita Ive have ever had. The ladies was extremely nice and friendly. We discussed what happen to them after covid. I took my food home. My family has ordered there almost six times since then. We love Spanish Village. My daughter really does. She loves Mexican food. Please try you wont be disappointed. The food is fresh, prices are reasonable, and staff is great. The new manger takes good care of the restaurant. Black owned establishment
Made my first visit to the long time Third Ward establishment a few weeks ago. After living in Houston for 39 years I finally got up the courage to give them a try. I hate to be disappointed by bad Tex-Mex food...
Good thing I was not disappointed! I went for Sunday brunch. I had the breakfast enchiladas. The texture was not what I expected, but was very delicious non the less. I was very pleased that the refried beans were vegetarian friendly. I really enjoy the chips and salsa. The salsa was not the typical deep red sauce one would expect. It was a radish broth color, but full of flavor. And the coffee by local roaster, Katz, was really good.
I'm looking forward to making another visit soon. It didn't bother me that there were few people there (though that sort of goes against the Tex-Mex cultural vibe).
It had been a lot of years and had to go back before it's closing ! The food was better than I remembered!
Authentic Mexican food for a good price! Friendly service as well. Never overcrowded
