    Al pastor tacos
    Max C.

    The service was amazing & fast. I got 6 Al Pastor tacos which were really good, I do like when pastor has pieces of pineapple with it though. The inside was nice and clean, they were playing the World Cup which was awesome, we sat outside and could watch it from there. Also the sauce selection is amazing.

    Quick and friendly! We love the tacos. They offer inside seating with a few tvs and a drive thru.

    As someone who loves Mexican/Central American food and has eaten in the mother lands, I have a fairly high bar for what I consider good. Spokane is kinda lacking in places that don't just cater to the lowest common gringo and hold back on the flavor. That is not the case here! Last time I was in I tried the Camerones a la Diabla (Shrimp of the Devil) and it had a great kick but didn't sacrifice flavor. So much forehead sweating goodness. Don't worry, if that heat is just too much, they have lots of tamer dishes that are still full of flavor. While it is a go up to the counter and order kind of place, it doesn't feel that way. Everyone is very friendly and upbeat. It honestly feels like you are visiting family more than going to a restaurant. Inside is so colorful and fun! In the era of big restaurant chains going with the corporate boring you could be anywhere look, I love the street fiesta feel of the interior. This place is a gem for Spokane. The fact they were so busy on a Tuesday night tells you how good they are. If you like Mexican food even a little, you MUST try this place.

    First time here, kids and I loved it! I've got a picky six year old and she didn't have an issue with any of the food, in fact she wants to have the tamales next time because they were better than the chicken nuggets she loved! I don't eat at places I can outcook... I'll be coming back and kiddos are letting me know they will be really sad if I don't bring them with me. Will return and it's a new favorite!

    Quesabirria Tacos, Single Taco, Consome

    Authentic Mexican food that IS DELICIOUS. The quality of the food is top notch, lots of vibrant flavors! Also just a very cool vibe. We got the quesabirria tacos (consome ofc) and some regular tacos. Honourable mention to the horchata which was not picture

    This is one of our fave Mexican places in the Spokane area. Today was rainy and blustery on our usual weekend shopping trip, so I just felt like a nice warming bowl of soup, and Pozole is always a winner in my book. A very friendly and hard working family are the owners, and we always see them when we visit. I also think they have one of the better salsa bars available in town. It's location is convenient, right on Division.

    Taco combo. Beef, pork, and chorizo.

    Everything was delicious! Got the taco combo with beef, pork, and chorizo for $12. Sauces are great too! Nice and spicy! Service was quick. Busy on a Sunday afternoon but I got my food in 5 minutes or less!

    $14.72 for a monster smothered burrito and its delicious.

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

My husband had the Menudo and he devoured it. Highly recommend. Another kid had the street tacos, and although he saw a burrito, walked by that he wished he ordered, he still loved his tacos. 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.
