Answered!
I CAN NOT Google better to find this band...
-
(I think) They were an American band. They definitely sang in Spanish with a non-native Spanish accent
-
(I think) Their album covers were classic Mexican folk art or alt "dia de los muertos" cartoons with high-contrast, black backgrounds, one key neon color for each of their albums
SOLVED: Los Straight Jackets... but more specifically, the album Rock en Espanol Vol 1. Thanks, u/amus.
Seems I was conflating a lot of similar but wrong memories to this band/album!
Thanks, r/NameThatSong

These guys do covers from different eras. The accent sounds non native. The art adds up on a handful of albums:

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Should I Stay or Should I Go
Close, but no. They are an Argentinian band so it's a more posh accent than what we might hear here in NAmer.
Gipsy Kings?
Such a great version of that song.
One of those covers that’s better than the original imo
The Texas Tornadoes?
The Mavericks?
Los Straitjackets or El Vez?
