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.

I got the fried chicken taco wjth a hazelnut matcha butter and Gorgonzola. Which was very yummy, then I got the pork belly with an asparagus salsa. Lastly I got two of the birria tacos. Overall the two street tacos were very good, perhaps both an 8/10 but the birria tacos were a little disappointing because their dipping sauce was basically flavorless. And the whole thing desperately needed salt. I ended up ditching the sauce and just using a bottled green sauce which was very yummy. Both my coworkers who also got the birria agreed it was not very good. They stuffed the tacos full of beef tho. The service was a little funky, we came in a big group and she insisted on taking all of our order at the same time and then had us pay separately after we all ordered, that required quite a bit of shuffling around among us 7, a bit confusing. Also, I ordered a soft drink and the bartender handed me a cup that was not full. Very strange. So I asked him to top it off, and his response was "sure, but just so you know, you get free refills" like okay? So because I get free refills you don't fill the cup up? Little strange, my coworker who witnessed it also thought it was weird. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely come back. Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 5/5

The food was amazing, the people were great, and I was excited to come back. Yesterday, my girlfriend and I planned a date night and decided to order from here again. Since we have kids, we did pickup. We drove about 25 minutes, then waited another 25 minutes because the line was packed which I didn't mind because the food was that good the first time. But this time? Completely different experience. I ordered a bean burrito with cheese... and it had no beans. Just rice and cheese in a tortilla. Then the nachos, honestly, for $27, this was unacceptable. Dry chips, unmelted cheese, some tomatoes thrown on top, no meat, no beans just thrown together with no care. It looked and tasted like an afterthought. What made it worse is the lack of accountability. I tried calling multiple times last night and again this morning no answer. Calls just ring or don't go through. I even tried calling from different numbers. Nothing. At this point, it's not even about the money it's the principle. Mistakes happen, but not being able to reach anyone or have them make it right is frustrating. I really wanted to keep supporting this place because the first experience was great, but this completely missed the mark. If you go, just be aware the quality and consistency might not be what you expect.

Remember old school Olvera Street in LA? . Maracas rocks. Decor and music are fun! Dia de Muertos mural welcomes you as you enter. Fajitas are HOT and medium rare. Beans are awesome - tender and not overly salty as so many restaurants up north do to food. Good pinto flavor. Can't say much about the rice since I rarely eat rice but very tasty but possibly a wee bit salty for me. Service was awesome! Great Mexican hospitality- I knew I was valued as a customer and went along with recommendations. I had the steak fajitas and a small house margarita (my idea, not the server's - I travel with a breathalyzer and won't near or exceed legal limits ). Asked for a to go box when I ordered and wondering if I will even need it. Food is that good! Great ambiance. Love the music. For those of us who love California AND love the PNW, this might be your place. P. S. Flan is as I remember making it - milk carmelizes as it slowly bakes in the oven. Yummy
