The sentence contained a duplicated filler 'if if' which is not grammatical; this is not in the provided list but the main grammatical issue relates to unnecessary words breaking the sentence flow. Remove the extra words to produce a correct noun phrase 'the crispy coating and the flavorful sauce'. Suggestion: avoid repeating filler words and read the sentence slowly to prevent stuttering.

✓ When I was a child, I used to like fast food like pizza or fried chicken because it tasted a great mix of sweet, spicy and savory flavors.
The clause describes a past habitual preference ('used to'), so the complement should be in the past tense. Using 'tastes' (present) creates a tense mismatch. Change 'tastes' to 'tasted' to match the past timeframe. Suggestion: keep verb tenses consistent within time frames; if describing past habits, use past tense verbs.
× Yes, definitely. Like in winter I prefer something hot like soup or pho, but in summer I prefer something fresh and I and I'd like to eat it inside the restaurant.
✓ Yes, definitely. In winter I prefer something hot like soup or pho, but in summer I prefer something fresh and I'd like to eat it inside the restaurant.
The original has repeated filler 'and I and' which breaks sentence fluency; remove the extra words. The rest uses present simple appropriately for habitual preferences. Suggestion: avoid repeating fillers and check for accidental word duplication when speaking or writing.

There are several tense and agreement issues. 'Has change' is incorrect; the present perfect requires the past participle 'changed'. 'I really like' refers to the past, so use 'liked'. 'Something sweet' is better expressed as 'sweet things' when speaking generally; pronoun reference 'it' is ambiguous so use 'they/them' for plural 'sweet things'. Suggestion: use present perfect with past participle for changes over time, keep past references in past tense, and ensure pronouns agree with their antecedents.
