Interesting take on Chips & Salsa...
Jeff B.

The Mothership for the Gerardo name in our metro. We love ours in Cheney, but we were camping nearby, so... Flavors are very consistent, between the three restos, so expect the expected. I greatly enjoy the way they spice every single dish the make. Wifey lives by the Fajita Mix, and I cross my fingers for being able to finish off what she doesn't manage. I'm an Adovada Quesadilla guy, and every order I get from these locations always gives me two good meals. Such a nice family, too...

Chips and salsa bar
Jeff R.

This is close to home and a place that I really enjoy. It's not for everyone to be sure, but it makes me happy to dive in to a burrito or in this case, a chimichanga, every now and again. The place has always been clean and tidy when I've been in. Burritos are huge as is the chimi. In fact I weighed the #20 and it came in at just over 3lbs of food. More than I can handle. Is it outstanding food? No. Is it a great value for the price and taste decent at the same time? Yes. There are others like it locally, but these guys are just a step up in quality. Worth a try.

Adobada chimichanga
George R.

One of the tastiest salsa bars in the area with unlimited chips if you order a burrito. Get the adobada chimichanga. Squeeze two limes into some hot sauce. Use them on the burrito. The salsa bar is to die for...especially the orange sauce. The pico is amazing! And they do NOT skimp on lines! You will not regret this decision.

Shredded Beef Taco w/"guacamole".
Conni M.

After reading so many great reviews of this place, we stopped for a late lunch. It's quite dark when you go in and the only menu is on the top of a wall. With it being so dark, I couldn't even see what they had. The person at the counter wasn't any help. We finally managed to order the carnitas plate and a taco. There was a charge of 99 cents for "guacamole". The beans were pretty bland but tasted house made and the rice was pretty standard. The carnitas were wonderful - crispy as requested. The taco was pretty greasy even though the meat was shredded beef. Actually the shell was so hard that when I took a bite the whole shell fell apart. My very biggest disappointment was what they call "guacamole". It was a very thin creamy green sauce with no flavor. And to charge for it is ridiculous. There are so many good Mexican restaurants in Spokane I doubt we'll ever go back.

Hashbrown Burrito
Jenna S.

Came for the hashbrown breakfast burrito at 10am on a saturday, no line! It was packed with meat, under $10 and i could tell it was made fresh. Great customer service, i will definitely be driving through again soon. Show this place some love!

What you see is a chunk of partially chewed California burrito i ordered late at night.

Well, my California burrito had a long hair inside of it. I had ordered 2 California burritos, and 1 chicken burrito for a late night dinner for my kids and myself. When I got home and settled into bed I started in eating my California burrito. Part way into it I was chewing and discovered a long hair in my mouth. I reached and extracted it along with the clump of food hanging from it, as seen in the photo. So I called Gerardo's to complain about the hair. The lady that answered sounded more offended than concerned about the fact that I found a hair. She never said sorry, she just said I could come get a new one right now if I wanted to, however it was 10pm, and I told her it was to late and I was in bed. She said she would allow me to swing tomorrow only to get a replacement. But only the next day. She took my name and number, and I said I wasn't sure if I would be able to come in. She said she would only offer the replacement the next day. How is that for service for my neighborhood restaurant. I'm only 1 block away. They should have just put a note that they owed me a burrito and allowed me to choose when I claimed the time to redeem it. It was their hair in my burrito in the first place.

Is this the same ownership of the Gerardo's that was by Sprague and Bowdish years ago?

Yes! I used to go to Abelardo's a lot. Was sad when they closed that location.

We ordered the French omelette with steak, which came with wild mushrooms, and it was out of this world. The omelette was beautifully done, and the combination of the tender steak and earthy mushrooms was absolutely delicious. The empanadas were just as impressive--packed with flavor and another standout of the meal. We also tried their gold leaf coffee along with a regular coffee. The gold leaf coffee was definitely a fun, elevated touch and made the whole brunch feel extra special. What really stood out was how well they balance aesthetic and flavor. The food looks beautiful, but thankfully, it's not style over substance--the flavors absolutely deliver. Service was amazing and impressively quick, with our food coming out fast. The ambience is classy and beautiful, making this a great spot for a more elevated brunch experience. If you're in Spokane and love brunch, do not miss House of Brunch. Highly recommend!

To be sure, this restaurant is more expensive than most in Spokane. We spent the same amount for…read morehalf as much the night before (and got refined food) . However, Luna does offer a lot of things for this price. You have a pleasant neighborhood restaurant vibe, with friendly attentive service and excellent, healthy food sourced from good places. As with anything in Spokane, you will see folks in very casual attire, but this is also a place where you can dress up. When we went, there were several tables of women friends (all ages), many family groups (without young kids or with well-behaved kids), and older couples. I was in the mood for salmon and they did a great version. It should be though for just under $50. It was served with black rice (good) and roasted carrots (good) and a carrot puree (really good but not enough on the plate). My dining companion got the scallops, and they were even more expensive than the salmon. $48 for TWO scallops. Ok, they are large, and well-cooked, and came with a lovely vegetable mix and couscous, but that's a lot of $ for Spokane. We are from CA and that's even a shocker for us. Dessert: they had recently added a banana pudding, which was good. It replaced a chocolate dessert--and that was a bad move because there is no intense chocolate on the menu. We also tried the coconut cake with lemon curd. There was not enough curd; it was barely a tang. The cake itself was a little dry. It is served with house-made ice cream, which balances the dryness but the cake should be good on its own. Apparently, this is their most popular dessert. I am a chocolate-first person. I like coconut. I like good vanilla. I really like lemon curd and a sweet-sour pairing. For me, this item felll short.

We tried the smoked brisket hash, shrimp and grits, and breakfast burrito, and every dish delivered. The smoked brisket hash was hearty and packed with smoky, savory flavor, while the shrimp and grits were rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. The breakfast burrito was also loaded with flavor and made for a perfect brunch bite. The drinks deserve a special mention too! They have a huge variety of mimosa flavors, which is basically everything you want at brunch. We tried the classic and yuzu, and both were delicious. And their Bloody Marys were bomb--bold, flavorful, and a perfect pairing with the food. Service was quick and friendly. We went on a weekday and had no wait, and the restaurant has a huge space with plenty of seating. If you're a foodie looking for a brunch spot in Spokane where both the food and drinks deliver, Bruncheonette is definitely worth a visit!

We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.
