"update 2022: with new property, two dishes were added. and they are. excellent. make sure to order a bowl of garnel soup and the birria tacos. the chips are no longer burned. the two salsas are delicious. reis and drilling are good. see photos. the tables in the restaurant are admirable. I'm not sure how old they are, but they have a few running and look really retro. the waiter couldn't be nicer. the Spanish village is a Houston institution and is historically significant, one of the older Mexican restaurants that still exists here. the combo plate, which presented dinge like a taco, chile con queso, a chalupa and/or guacamole salat, was known as the ladies special or the summer special in many Mexican restaurants around houston. I would recommend you to dispense with the enchilada/tamal/rice/bean plate and with these summer items stacked high with crisp salate and diceed tomato. the selection is served as starter on the alfonso pico special: chile con queso, guacamole salad, beef taco, veracruzana and I would stop there and not go on with the hot plate of tamale/enchilada/rice/beans. that would be my recommendation for her first visit. and. my rating of four stars is based only on the items in a summer special type meal."
