    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.

    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.

How wrong I was!!! We found this place on Yelp and it looked like a winner...4.7stars and right next to our hotel. We dined on a Saturday night and the place was packed...we got the last open table. I really loved the decorations inside- colorful, festive, and some really neat Dia De Los Muertos styled paintings. Our server was great and went through the menu...lots of selections. I wasn't super hungry so I got 3 street tacos (1 al pastor, 1 carnitas and 1 tinga). My son got an al pastor quesadilla and my wife got pollo tacos. The chips and salsa were good and held us over until the food came. When the food came they also brought out 3 more salsas in squeeze bottles and all of these were great too. All 3 of my street were very flavorful and all incredibly tender. Sometimes chicken and carnitas can be pretty bland but not here...these were exactly what I was looking for. My family loved their food as well and we left wishing we had a Los Habaneros Taqueria back in AZ! When I was paying for our meal at the cashier several people were picking up to go meals and heard we were from AZ visiting and both parties said we found the best spot in Spokane for Mexican food. I don't doubt them for a minute...this was dynamite.

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

We had to drive from the north side of the city to the South Hill to get to this location, but it was worth it. I believe my family has a new favorite restaurant to get delicious Mexican food. The restaurant is small, but that added to the charm. And many tables were full, which means the locals also enjoy this place. Bonus fact: they have different types of salsa for your chips. A mild version and spicy versions. I recommend trying them all.

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.
