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.

This restaurant is so cute and the food is delicious. It's two blocks from Main and worth the walk. The Margarita was really yummy and the food was so good.

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.

It was my first time here and Loved it! Had the Chimichanga and a blended watermelon Margarita. Very charming place, I told my Auntie Linda "I feel like I just walked out of Mexico!" I didn't get the server's name but he was terrific I felt like he was one of my buddies ... as I drove off into this Sunset he waved to me . . . A wonderful experience I will be back!

The atmosphere and service were great. The food was authentic but was lacking something. Overall, it's a nice restaurant.
