So there isn't much information on the interwebs about this new spot, but we would presume it's a restaurant that mixes Spanish and American food (we could be wrong, but if so...maybe a different name would be better).
One more thing to note about this complex. It also appears that a Panda Express is going to moving in next to Chutney Joe's. College kids love cheap, greasy, fast Chinese!
When Spanglish opens in September in the South Loop, its menu will echo the eats served at La Cocina (which the owners also run): Mexican favorites like tostadas, fajitas, cactus salad and fish tacos. Dishes will be priced for $10 or less and come with complimentary chips and mild green or spicy red salsa; the eatery will also offer vegetarian-friendly refried black beans and huevos rancheros for breakfast. But don't expect to see photos of distant Mexican locales on the walls: 3-by-5 foot lightboxes will showcase black-and-white photos of Mexican-American neighborhoods in Chicago, Texas and other states.

JBorn had a comment about a month back saying "Apparently Frank Morales of La Cocina fame is opening Spanglish Mexican Kitchen in University Center".
ReplyDeleteSince the signs says "Mexican kitchen" .... It's from the guy who runs the La Cocina restaurants.
ReplyDeleteOh, and it's supposed to open in September, per Metromix. I know this is a volunteer blog and all, but all I had to do to find that out was a simple Google ....
ReplyDeleteCan't wait! La Cocina is amazing!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great addition to the neighborhood- good food and good atmosphere from people who have experience in the restaurant biz. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSuper excited about this one. Hopefully Spanglish and Flacos can peacefully coexist and both thrive.
ReplyDeleteWhats the holdup with Spanglish?
ReplyDeleteWhy hasn't this opened yet?
