Spanish Village Restaurant

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

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

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.

***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!

Had to visit this historic restaurant before it was gone forever! Unlike every other Houston Tex-Mex restaurants Spanish Village created and entire vegan menu! This isn't just the regular menu item without cheese but a fully curated vegan menu including wonderful breakfast options. Breakfast included Vegan Migas and pancakes! Totally wonderful! There aren't very many places for a vegan breakfast and this place will be truly missed!

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!

Had a late lunch here today. The food is delicious and the margaritas are also and pack a punch. There is a parking area across from the restaurant just for their patrons so don’t worry about parking. They need your patronage so please eat here. It is well worth it. Parking: Private parking area for restaurant.

Used to manage a bar where the original owners' son would patronize. Paid my first visit 11 yrs. later. Yeah ... That was disappointing. Took 10-15 min. to be greeted by waitstaff after being seated. Wrong order came out. I told the waiter to leave it and I would eat it anyway since it took 30 min. to cook. Tables around me that were sat after me received their food before me, which I ended up sending back because it was of such poor quality, and I never do that. That's how bad it was. I will not be returning.

We met old friends at Spanish Village for lunch on Friday January 20th 2022. The food was terrible. The service was terrible The whole thing was terrible. We had to ask for more salsa with our meal. There was a charge! We love Mexican food but we left food on the plates. We understand that they are closing up and moving out in a few months and you can tell it. I do not recommend thos joint. It took us three and a half hours for a one hour lunch. They put us in the corner with many other people around it and it was very noisy. In sum. It was just terrible all around!

Based off the service I was impressed based off the seafood plate I was not impressed. The shrimp and rice were good but they served tilapia. I don’t eat tilapia when I cook fish at home so why would I pay 22 for restaurant tilapia that tasted very fishy and smelled as if it was old. Your service was great but please don’t go cheap on the fish we can tell it was not quality.
