What People Are Saying About The Spanish Kitchen

The Scene – Modeled after a Mexican villa, this hot spot greets patrons with an intimate, fireplace-warmed patio. Inside, beautiful couples sip margaritas at the long curved bar, in crescent-shaped booths or at candlelit tables on the slightly raised second level. Wrought-iron chandeliers, mosaic tiles and a colorful wall mural add traditional touches. Black-and-red-clad servers are quick to offer suggestions. – – The Food – It's called "Spanish" Kitchen, but the food is mostly Mexican, with a gourmet twist. Papaya salad boasts plentiful greens with slices of fresh…

Amazing spanish decor
by persilam at Citysearch
This place has a nice little parking lot situated in the back of the restaurant. I went for lunch and it wasn't crowded at all and we were seated promptly. The nachos were very delicious, but I found my fajitas (chicken) to be very bland. The service was average but the decor was beautiful. Wouldn't go back for the food necessarily, there are a lot of better mexican restaurant in the area!
- Pros: Convenient parking

Spanish Kitchen ...no kitchen at all
by chefhel at Citysearch
As a professional chef this has to rate as one of my worst experiences ever. The service was horrfic. Our server Tara was ill equipped to handle rudimentary requests. She was flustered and unable to save a quickly deteriorating situation. The gratuity included with our party of 16, obviously sent the message to her that it was not neccessary to offer service at all. The food, hardly edible, the drinks poorly mixed. While the decor is interesting and the restaurant is well thought out, it is not worth the West Hollywood price. Wish I had read these reviews first. Spanish Kitchen start over and learn the basics, or do us all a favor and close your doors.
- Pros: decor
- Cons: service

Good hang out
by angelagoon at Citysearch
Always drive past this place, never stopped by until a friend scheduled her bachelorette party here. Good food, fast, friendly service. Great happy hour. Bartenders are very welcoming. Mexican-American food that actually has flavor, rather than just being large portions of gooey, cheesy, saltiness. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive place in the area. Perfect for birthdays or get-togethers. Potent and tasty margaritas!
- Pros: food, service
- Cons: $7 parking
