The Spanish Kitchen

Spanish Kitchen has good food but over and over the worst service. They are close to my work so I go there often and almost every time the service is horrible. Rude and could care less about your table. There is a red headed guy there

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

Pros: Convenient parking

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.

Pros: decor

Cons: service

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,

Pros: food, service

Cons: $7 parking

This place is like really expensive Mexican food. The average entree is $17-20 and the appetizer is from $9-12. Also, unlike other Mexican food places, the portions here are really small and can barely fill one person up. I do like their

Good and fun atmosphere until Bartender (diedra) shhhh'd you and ruin the fun! \r
mean and condescending!\r
\r
Food servings are OK ......but what makes a Fun and great place... I think are polite and fun staff!\r
\r
I'd give it 1/10

First of all. This is a Mexican restaurant.. NOT SPANISH. .with really average Mexican food.. \r
\r
Secondly, the place is completely overpriced !!!!\r
A really bad SMALL quesadilla was about ten bucks. Entrees are about $30.. The food

Pros: overpriced

Cons: Snooty

I thought Spanish kitchen was good, but not great. The food is pretty basic, but good. Fun for groups and casual dinner. I would reccomend the fajitas and the taco salad. The chips and salsa are good too. It's not too expensive and

Pros: Good Mexican at Great Value

Avoid the taco tuesday night. About 8 of us had dinner on a Monday night a few months back for some enchiladas. The service was pleasant/good and the enchilladas were pretty great. 10 of us went back last night for their Taco Tuesday

I went to the Spanish Kitchen on a weekend night with a friend because we were looking for a fun way to beat the heat with blended margaritas and delicious food. Boy, was that a mistake.\r
When we arrived, the hostess staff was flustered

I recently went to the Spanish Kitchen on a Saturday night. This place is unbearably hot and loud. The margaritas were watered down and we complained to our server who said it was probably because they were blended. I have had many

I am a foodie, dated chefs, parents own a catering service... this place is terrible... went with a friend for a late \r
3 p.m. lunch and ordered chips and guacamole and drinks to begin because we were starving...although the guacamole was

My friend was looking for a restaurant to celebrate her birthday at when she stumbled upon this place. After looking through their website she was super excited to tell everyone about the place she had settled on. Despite the fact that she

Pros: The resturant looks nice

Cons: everything else

People have been telling me to check out The Spanish Kitchen for a while and I finally did. The food was really good! I had the lobster crepe as an appetizer and then the spicy pineapple salmon. Their drinks were strong, in a great way.

After hearing so much about the Spanish Kitchen, my family and I were excited to try it for Mother's Day dinner. The service was terrible. The waiter initially took forever to come to us. When he did come, he was rude and snobby. Didn't

RUDE, SNOBBY, DISMISSIVE, INSULTING, LACKLUSTER FOOD, TERRIBLE SERVICE and CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG are just some impressions that come to mind when I think of Spanish Kitchen. I have never written a review in my life, however, felt

Pros: good margaritas and sangria

Cons: THE WORST SERVICE AND ATTITUDE EVER

Great food, friendly staff, great value. This is a nice place to go for some good food. The food is great and not over priced for its quality. I eat there almost twice a week ever since I moved to West Hollywood.

Pros: Great food, great value

My friend and I went to Spanish Kitchen the other night and we were seated next to a D-list celebrity. We ordered the chicken tostada ensalada and chicken fajita. The chicken in my tostada salad was incredibly dry and his chicken in his

Pros: good for large groups

Cons: Service needs to be improved, Beer is expensive, parking

I went here for lunch and was not impressed with their food. Maybe I have to try it one more time. We were seated promptly cause there was not that many people there. I had a pineapple refreshment that was watered down. I'm not to fond

Not to mention, "Margaritas of glass chips"... Last night, our $80 should have been comped. The salsa had no flavor... chips were good. While drinking my small $12 margarita, I rake my tongue across the inner edge of the glass and...

Pros: Nice waitress, nice atmosphere and decor

Cons: Food safety (chipped glasses), overcooked enchiladas, awful salsa

This restaurant has the best Sangria in L.A.! This place also has great tapas. The service is fast and the ambiance is nice. Highly recommended!

Pros: Great overall experience.

Cons: Parking is tough unless you valet.

First off i think it should say mexican kitchen, second food was just ok. atmosphere is a place where people wanna be seen, thats about it. Glorified Hollywood scene for people that wanna be seen and wanna be something. Drinks on the other

Pros: parking was killer, valet is the way to go...

Cons: nothing other then what i said.

The Spanish Kitchen is one of my favorite "repeat" restaurants, especially as I love the seasonings and the garnishes around the great main entree. The Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon is my favorite. And I love that they have the fried ice

Pros: Dark enough for dates

Cons: Some of the tables are strangely boxed in

We were there for Cinco De Mayo and it seemed really hectic and busy but the friendy hostesses sat us right when we came in. The service was surprisingly fast, the server was really helpful with recommendations. We had brought friends from

Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Margaritas

Good food, excellent service. The decoration is beaustiful and the customer service is attentive and fast. Would definitely go back.

Loved our experience here. Great ambiance and delicious food. Decent portions and lots of personality. Had 5 people in our group and everyone enjoyed it! Will go again!

Pros: great good

Cons: pricey for mexican food

This little cafe is right next to 500west, a boutique hotel inhabiting what was the YMCA for many years. The cafe actually opens into the hotel, so it is accessable from both the street as well as the hotel. There are some amazing old

The name may be misleading, but don't let that stop you from getting tasty Mexican style cuisine. Definitely go on a Monday and enjoy their Enchilada Monday's special. Most recommend their Mojito's, don't get me wrong they're good and all,

Very cool spot. not too stuffy. the food is really good and the bar is even better. you can't go wrong with this place whatsoever.

This is one of the best places in LA where you can have great food and great drinks... I would recomend the spanish kitchen to go on a date or with a group of friends!! the staff is very nice and oh my god!!! they have deserts to die

Pros: great food! great drinks!!

I cannot speak for the food, but I am very disappointed with the reservations and service. I made a reservation ahead of time for a birthday party of 14 people and The Spanish Kitchen called me back a week later to tell me that they were

I don't know why Spanish Kitchen is given such negative reviews -- the food is delicious, the servers are courteous and give great recommendations (not typical of most Hollywood hot spots), the sangria is STRONG, and the atmosphere is

Pros: fun music, nice decor

Cons: food, drinks, and service

The food and margaritas were amazing. My waiter on the other hand, just did not care about my table eventhough it was a slow wednesday night. However, that doesn't speak for the whole staff. I had the Carne a la Bracas and it was

Pros: Great Food, Atmosphere

I went to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend. Great service (although it was a holiday weekend and a little less crowded for than friday than usual). The food was really good and the pitcher of Sangria was plentiul. I recommend

Go for the great people watching and decent food. However, I found the service marginal.

Pros: crowd, size, atmosphere

Cons: value, service

I walked in and literally said "Wow". So pretty . . . romantic . . . great food and service and I just so look forward to going back. And my date was GREAT too - perfect evening.

From the sangria oyster shooters to the ceviche to the carne asada my meat-eating co-diners immensely enjoyed, everything was perfect. The service was great all around - we did have to wait a bit even though we had a reservation, but the

Pros: Food, Service, Cocktails

Pros: food, atmosphere, drinks

Cons: parking

I expected just another retread of the old LA Mexican restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. the owner spent as much time on the design as he did the menu. In doing so he has created an authentic hacienda with a menu serving REAL Mexican

Pros: ambiance, drinks, energy

Cons: salsa

I took my family for Mother's Day to the Spanish Kitchen. The decor and ambience was great. The menu looked good, cant say the food wasnt good but not for the price. Could've had something better for less elsewhere. Now this place is

I am a chef and do not concider mexican food cuisine. I met some friends at the Spanish Kitchen expecting to have a drink and leave. I glanced at the menu and was impressed with the thought that went into it. I grilled the waitress and
