I just moved to the area. I was looking for a place with a good breakfast burrito and found this place. The burrito was huge lots of meat as I got a sausage burrito. Ingredients were hot. The only reason I have the food 4 instead of 5 stars is because I prefer sausage links in my burrito and I think they use patties chopped up. Still good but not my favorite. The service was great and the salsa bar is amazing and chips and salsa are free. The variety of salsa was great. The creamy green one was just the right amount of spicy. I’m definitely coming back to try different dishes but I give an A to the breakfast burritos.

Pretty good Mexican food. The chain as a whole has come to favor getting your food with a quickness instead of focusing on quality, presentation and service, but the authentic Mexican food feels they once had still echos. Take a look at how many times the health inspectors have found rats in the kitchen. The thought doesn't bother me too much but the location downtown is the lead offender in Spokane for rats in restaurants. Not to put the place down, I'll still gladly eat there. Food is pretty good and relatively affordable. Overall: 7.2/10

Derrrrlicious! We had the rolled tacos w/ guac, chili rellenos, burrito, and carne asada tacos. The salsas were great, and so was the service. Very fast! I will definitely eat here again, and I would suggest this place.

I was impressed with how well the food tasted. I had visited them in the past, and it wasn't as good as it is now, so do you recommend it, especially the chimichanga burrito and pineapple juice

Really good tacos! Love the chip and salsa bar. Service is always nice and timely. Reminds me of Mexican food in Arizona. One of my favorite spots in Spokane!
