What roro likes about Chispas:
Recommend the Guisado and Sirloin tacos. Make sure to order some side items such as beans, guac, etc. Very delicious and great quality.

read moreChispas offers a mixed dining experience. While some patrons rave about the tacos, guacamole, and excellent service, others express disappointment in cleanliness, slow service, and overcooked meat. Highlights include a variety of tasty tacos, top-notch corn tortillas, and delicious appetizers like green Chile queso and duck confit. Happy hour discounts and attentive staff are also notable. Mixed reviews on drinks with some recommending the frozen palomas. Overall, the restaurant earns an average rating of high 4s, with a pleasant atmosphere and a promise of enjoyable meals with a few hit-or-miss elements.
