As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, it's my pleasure to guide you through the highlights of Spanglish's menu. Their 10 oz burritos, filled with refried beans, savory rice, and a choice of protein or veggies, are a must-try. At just US$6.60, they are perfect for a quick meal at home or on-the-go. If you’re in the mood for a lighter option, the Quesadilla Meal offers a trio of flour tortillas grilled to perfection with melted cheese, accompanied by fresh tortilla chips and salsa verde for just US$14.90.
One standout is the Poblano Corn Chowder, a creamy, comforting blend of fire-roasted poblano peppers, sweet corn, and spices, ideal for those chilly days at US$5.70. Add on a side of homemade guacamole for a measly US$2.75—it’s a crowd-pleaser that enhances any dish.
Spanglish not only offers a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine, but their customer reviews speak volumes. Customers rave about the red salsa bursting with flavor, and the freshly made chips that complement every bite. As Ani Daher puts it, “Delicious vegetarian Mexican food in a very scenic setting." Imagine dining al fresco beside a babbling brook, enjoying the fresh air and vibrant tastes of Spanglish.
For those who enjoy treats beyond the main courses, the selection of cold take-out items, like the mixed bag of tamales priced at US$30.40, ensures you can savor that authentic flavor any time at home. The variety of drinks—from refreshing limeades to unique iced coffees—adds a special touch that elevates your dining experience.
Lastly, don’t forget to check out their spiffy merch, including super soft glow-in-the-dark tees and colorful trucker hats, perfect for summer outings at a great price of US$22.00.

“ I enjoy the to go drinks: iced coffee, agua de Jamaica, limeade, tumeric drink etc etc. Slushes available in summer- flavors vary, watch for guava, so good. Also, any food items you order will be delicious. I am partial to tostada's lately, I appreciate a tamale once in awhile though. ”
“ Everywhere we travel we eat tacos. It was our anniversary, we love traverse city and had never been here. Now we will never visit without stopping here! Tamales we're fantastic, bean tostada was great as well. We actually made a stop before heading home to buy tamales, fresh salsa Verde and chips! As I write this I am at home eating the salsa wishing we had bought 2! Highly recommend! ”
“ I haven't had authentic carnitas tamales since I lived in florida and these brought back the memories of being home! Thank you for making authentic Mexican food that tastes superb, thats not too expensive!!! We also got the barbacoa taco and tostadas!! Everything was soooo good!!! ”
“ AMAZING!!! Our party of 4 had the pleasure of finally visiting Spanglish! With so many delicious dining options in the TC area it’s hard to choose!? But after receiving countless recommendations to check out Spanglish we made the trip and it blew our expectations out of the water!! We ordered a variety of options including 3 different taco options, 2 different tamales, a big daddy burrito, tostada and chips with salsa. Everything arrived in a timely manner, was freshly prepared and hot but most importantly full of flavor!! There is very limited indoor seating so getting carry out or coming during outdoor dining season is ideal for a more relaxed, dine in experience. In addition to the freshly prepared options, Spanglish also offers several items to go that are either cold or frozen to enjoy at a later date. Do yourself a favor and make Spanglish your NEXT dining experience! ”
