This cozy and cute Mexican taco bar serves up your traditional tacos like good carnitas and carne asada. There are also fun Spokane favorites like fried chicken taco. It was very good and different. The cocktails here were also very well made. The Cadillac margarita was strong and made with quality tequila. Loved it. The service was very friendly and helpful. It's a solid place for good tacos. The green salsa was delicious. read more

Did not know what expect from the fried chicken taco, but I'm telling you as a SoCal native who takes his tacos seriously, it was f'kn LEGIT! The carne asada taco was ok, and so was the house margarita. Place was pretty crowded when I went on a Saturday night, seating can be tricky. read more

3-4 's Friendly staff Unique taco offerings- Lamb. Small portions for price. Nice ambiance with tables and booths. I wanted beans and rice and two tacos but the guy at the register couldn't figure out how to add the beans and rice, so I ended up going without . Guess they don't sell lamb or birria tacos alacarte? We each wanted to try a lamb taco and a Birria taco but only seemed to come in 2-3 tacos. So we ended up ordering a set of each and just sharing. They were both small for about $6 each so can't say I'd come here again, but was cool to try. $27 for 4 tacos is a bit steep especially since they were small. When I asked for the guys favorite taco he said the Lamb so I had to try it! It was good, moist ground lamb with no gaminess. It had seasoned tomatoes which was unique and a hazelnut salsa apparently even though I didn't notice a hazelnut flavor at all but it must have been there It was a bit sweet for my taste but a spritz of lime fixed it up no problem and it tasted much better The Birria taco was good, full of mostly meat with not as much cheese as some most I've had. But the consume was not watery like usual and prob the best I've tasted - had diced onions and cilantro in it. Don't think I'd return since I don't live near by, Otherwise maybe for happy hour prices read more

Soooo Cochinto is NOT what it used to be at all. The pictures posted are OLD! Look at mine for new content. These are 3 Carne Asada Tacos that cost 5.95 a piece so that's 18.00 al a cart right? Would you be happy? I even complained and the guy said "there is cheese and sauce on those can't you see?" I was shocked!!!! The portions are horrible aaaaand YES these are tiny small street tacos size it's the portions that make these look bigger than they are. Also ordered chips and salsa to get a salad dressing container of salsa. I spent 68 bucks on tacos and chips and salsa and next time will be at an actual restaurant for real portions. This place has cheaped out and there is no value at all. The guy with the long curly hair is the one that acted as if this was perfectly fine. read more

Was in town visiting and decided to try this place since it was by our hotel. We were there in April and it was a beautiful day so to our surprise the heat took over the restaurant. It was so hot and muggy in there we ended up sitting outside. The lines were long and took quite some time and you're not allowed to sit at a table until after ordering. That's a bit annoying since the restaurant is already so small. The waiters were rude, unfortunately we were in their way but.. again we're just standing in line. Food came out fairly quick... after we finished our drinks. We all got different tacos and everyone got at least one birria taco. Pretty much the saltiest birria taco I've ever had. I was with a few male colleagues and they couldn't even eat it even though they usually eat everything and hate wasting food. Such a bummer because everything else we ate in the vicinity was delicious! read more

ORDER THE LAMB TACOS. Oh my goodness, that was delicious. I tried 3 different tacos, Birria is always good, but WOW that lamb taco. I bought their 3 taco meal with an horchata (meh) for $29 and some change. Friendly service, music playing, got the food quickly, I'll be back! read more

Love this place! The ambiance, the service and the food. The food is all house made including their tortillas, salsa and slow cooked meat. I had the lamb taco - omg so good. The pork belly was also super flavorful. The bean and rice was super tasty- cumin and tomatoes rice. The cheese quesadillas has a crunchy tortilla, simple and tasty. The Torta was also very good. Most of all we love the mango- basil-lemon drink. So refreshing! The wall mural and decor is quirky, fun and authentic. We look forward to be back! read more

I got the birria tacos($13) and a lamb taco($6). The food came out in about 15 minutes. The lamb tacos were amazing! Super flavorful and moist! The birria tacos were also quite good! Very tender and moist. The consume was also very savory (just add a full squeeze of lime to get a perfect balance). For a fast casual vibe the food was excellent! I'd definitely come back again!

Average taste and serve yourself, long lines, bussing tables for a pretty price. Just didn't get the hype.

Pricy but good, even during Happy Hour it's $5 a taco. I had the Carnitas taco; the carnitas were spot on juicy and flavorful. and a Carne Asada taco. On home-made corn tortilla, I like my tacos hot off the grill and these came in cool from the counter. Tasty but I would like a more basic taco. Service was awesome, water stations are available in the restaurant. This location on the corner allows you to people watch and enjoy your tacos. If you're looking from some tacos with all the bells and whistles, this is your spot. read more

Wow wow wow! I'm so impressed with this place-- these tacos are a MUST TRY! The meat in every. single. taco... was cooked to perfection! So tender and juicy! The lady who took my order was so helpful with the menu and was so thoughtful to check in to make sure I loved my drink. I originally ordered the Pinapple Chipotle Margarita, however, they ran out of the batch, hence the peach Margarita. However, when they were finally able to make the pineapple batch, they brought out multiple samples for me to try! The menu, although very modern, the restaurant ambiance itself is very homey and reminds me of your neighborhood Mexican food spot! read more

What a great spot! I will be back again. The tacos were solid but expensive but worth it! The chips were great as well.

You can't go wrong with tacos! I got the fish and shrimp tacos. Both were light and flavorful. I loved that the protein was the main feature of both. I got the taco place which came with two tacos, rice, and beans. The tacos are on the smaller size but to be honest this made the perfect lunch size portion for me. You order at the counter then take a seat and they bring your food out. I went right at opening so had no problem finding somewhere to sit. read more

Fun Mexican restaurant that is a little more upscale/modern but very casual. You order at the counter and then find a table and they bring you your drinks + food. The chips and salsa are big portions but really fresh. I also highly recommend the margaritas! I would say it is more on the expensive end but also good quality food. Super fun place to go with a small group! read more

Stopped here for lunch during our National Parks roadtrip... never been to Spokane (or Washington) before but if you are road-tripping and are craving street tacos with a twist... this is it! We tried 4 different tacos (octopus, rockfish, 20 hour asada, carnitas) and the summer salad. The bartenders/hostesses behind the counter were super nice and made a great margarita, very refreshing, not super sweet. For me the stand-out was the salad and the octopus taco (had a smokey flavor), my husband said his favorite was the 20 hour asada (tender meat, big flavor)... but everything we tried was really good. We probably won't ever be back to Spokane, which is too bad, bc this place was 5 stars on food and friendly faces... a real plus when you've been stuck in the car for six hours. I guess I'll also mention, very clean restaurant, big windows everywhere to people-watch/check out the city while waiting for your food and our food came out about 10 min after we ordered it. read more

Unexpectedly excellent meal in town for work. Bright, seasonal, well spiced, even healthy! Loved the summer salad with peas, grilled peaches, almonds, and labneh, and the spicy prawn ceviche.

The food was not bad, but not worth $50 our order was two "birria tortas", "elote bowl", horchata and a soft drink. Service was interesting it's bar service, ambiance was ok. More like Mexican and taqueria inspired, the elote was just corn in a bowl with someone's twist, not bad but misleading. Same with the birria torta, it's not birria it's sweet barbecue pulled pork with sourdough bread and the consume is water and oil. The horchata was from a premade bottle so taste wasn't bad but was more on the thick rice-y side; so not much a drink there. Not bad but if you're looking for authentic food this will not satisfy your expectations especially for the price. Two stars for the service, cleanliness, and food was acceptable. read more

We are in Spokane for my wife's Immersion - which tasks us with finding something delicious for dinner each night. Tonight, we had Cochinito Taqueria and the food was everything we were desiring. To start the customer service was amazing. Shayne took our order and not only was he immensely knowledgeable but his helpful commentary on the menu and warm presence immediately made us excited. We happened to stop in during Happy Hour making all of our tacos a dollar off and we also happened to catch the Pork Belly right before their menu switched over to the Fall menu. You order before you seat and they have the cutest cards to signify which table you are at - a touch that adds the eloquently integrated cultural developments. We ordered a total of 8 tacos (3 of them being the Pork Belly - no shame there), 2 Agua Frescas, and an order of Churros. Heritage Duroc Pork Cheek Carnitas 9/10 This taco was light and still packed flavor. I would've liked a bit more of the cheese, but the flavor in each component held its own. The carnitas were seasoned very well Lamb Merguez 10/10 The flavor profile of this taco was so unique the mint chutney adds the perfect hit to compliment the hazelnut salsa mach and it finished with the quest fresco made for both a fresh and flavorful bite. 20 HR Carne Asada 10/10 Tender, fall to pieces in your mouth, fully flavorful meat all sat in this taco. The corn even adhered to the flavor of the meat and overall had a beautiful presentation and flavor in each bite. The juices of the meat also surrounded the shell of the taco and held all of the flavors in one. Pescado 6/10 I can tell that this taco is the perfect taco for someone if you like a hint of sweet to your flavor. The rockfish alone did not carry a lot of flavors, but the Chile mango gel was a bit much for me. Pork Belly 10/10 We legitimately cannot believe we will not have access to this taco starting tomorrow due to the menu turning over. The succotash and the pepitas topped with the most delicious and flavorful chimichurri made this a treat that we had to have multiple. Beef Short Rib Birria 10/10 Matched with a consommé that had its own flavor, this taco was a warm burst of flavor and perfection. The short rib definitely deserves the notoriety it earned from both Shayne and everyone else who came in after us singing its praises along with the Pork Belly. While there weren't a ton of ingredients, the flavors flowed together with perfect execution. Churros w/ Cajeta 10/10 Those churros were magical. As a churro they held their own and had the perfect blend of cinnamon and their flavor. The Cajeta was the perfect addition, its sweetness served as a compliment to the cinnamon and the fact that they were fresh and warm sealed the deal. We have a few more days in Spokane and we will definitely have to stop in again before we go. So happy to have found a spot with amazing customer service and delicious flavorful food. read more

I hand picked this place while scrolling from 2,000 miles away. I was excited to try it. All chef driven and locally sourced ingredients, everything made in house. Sounded like a dream. I wanted to give it a better grade but honestly couldn't. Salsa was more like pico but great. Grade A Guacamole was a blend of tomatillo and good but heavy on the latter. Grade B. Chips - house made in strips. Nice touch. Very good. Grade A. Now for the tacos. The homemade tortillas were a little undercooked to be honest. Fresh for sure. Grade B- Came with side of black beans and Spanish rice- I would not get these. Both Dry & flavorless. Grade C- Tacos themselves: I was not overly impressed. The pork cheek was dry and bland. I added both sauces and lime. Grade C 20 hr brisket- good. Grade B Pescado- crunchy and delicious with some sweet sauce accents. Best of the bunch, Grade A- read more

As with every visit, the food and service were amazing. This time, the owner, Justin, stopped by and recommended the Aji tuna ceviche - an incredible choice. I'm still thinking about it and already know it'll be a go-to on our next visit. We also ordered our usual Karina bowl with carne asada, which never disappoints. Be sure to opt for the homemade corn tortillas--they're excellent. Please support local because I want this place to stay around! read more

Would you pay $52 for 3 tacos and some rice with beans? Well I did! For that price I really thought I was getting two tacos each (carnitas, carne asada & chicken). So I was a bit shocked when I opened up my DoorDash order and saw what I got. Before you think that it was the DoorDash fees that made it so expensive, they were not. All those fees added another $25 to my order. So a grand total that was just over $75 for what you see in the picture delivered by DoorDash. So that breaks down to $20 each taco & $15 chips and salsa read more

If you want some white bread, Northwest crap go here. This is nothing like real conchinita Mexican food. It is bland and way overpriced and not worth your effort. I should have said this earlier in my original post, but I did not. The crap you get at Taco Bell taste better than the tacos I had here. I am from the southwest and this shit sucks read more

I wish there were more stars I could give! The variety of flavors in the three tacos that I ordered was amazing; it felt like they were individually made with love. Varying spice levels and flavors made every bite of my meal special.

The perfect mix of fine dining and street food. Elevated street tacos often lose authenticity in specialty restaurants but not here. We took our three kids in for lunch expecting Cochinito Taqueria to be good based on the reviews and were pleasantly surprised when it exceeded our expectations. The only recommendation for improvement was on the aguas frescas. These fell short but not enough to drop the rating. read more

My partner and I came downtown for a friends art event . We walked around and explored first night Spokane downtown. When we first stopped by early in the night, the place was very busy. We left and got to see some cool art venues around town. I'm glad we came back later in the night. The restaurant was still busy, a line to the door. But it was worth the wait. I have been wanting to try this place for a very long time. We placed our order up front, and there were cool fridges with beverages that you grab yourself. It just happened to be restaurant week. We ordered the queso fundido , two tacos ( shrimp and carne asada) with the cumin rice and pinto beans and the churros with caramel sauce off the restaurant week menu. We also ordered three extra tacos, the fish, pork cheek carnitas, and the birria. The fresh made chips with the flaky salt alone are to die for. The queso fundido is creamy and cheesy with a bit of a spicy kick from the jalapeños. I only wish there was more queso , I could eat a big bowl! All of the tacos we ordered were amazing. From best to least. Pork cheek carnitas, carne asada, shrimp, fish and birria. All the tacos had their own salsas that paired perfect with each protein. The pork cheek was topped with pickled onions, that cut the richness of the pork cheek. The carne asada was tender, slow cooked for 20 hours. The shrimp taco was filled with plump plentiful shrimp. The fish had this delicious chili mango dressing that was spicy but sweet. That sauce alone is scrumptious. And would go well on wings too! The birria is good. Kind of plain compared to the other tacos but was still good. The pinto beans were flavorful and the cumin rice was the perfect side to the tacos. Evrything was well seasoned . We finished with fresh made churros and a caramel sauce. The perfect ending to a nice date night out. We can't wait to try the rest of the tacos they have! read more

We came here on taco Tuesday during Restaurant Week and it was amazing! Three of us came so that we could order every item on their special menu. The mushroom m, carnitas, and pork cheek tacos were my favorite out of the entrees. Appetizers- the corn dip and guacamole were the best. For dessert we got the hot chocolate (not a fan myself - needs more chocolate), churros with two different dipping sauces (my favorite), and a flan type dessert (forgot the name) with mango and horchata whipped cream which was also delicious. Highly recommend. read more

I'm so glad we found this place.. and it was Happy Hour! Select tacos were $1 off during Happy Hour and I wanted to order them all, but I restrained myself to just three. We ordered at the counter and the food was delivered to the table, they forgot an item but when we asked about it they resolved it quickly. The girl at the counter and the food runner were both friendly and helpful. Heritage Duroc Pork Cheek Carnitas: with salsa verde, cojita, pickled onion, cilantro and lime (by far my favorite) Pork Belly Pibil: citrus and achiote marinade, roasted in banana leaves, pickled onion, sesame, peach/citrus salsa and tostones. 20 hour Carne Asada: Sous Vide tri tip, chili rubbed and slow braised to medium rare, grilled corn, onions and peppers, chili garlic oil, asadero cheese. All the tacos were fantastic flavor and texture combinations but the temperature of the food was Luke warm at best (It would be 5 star review if the food was served hot). I would definitely eat here again. read more

We were very surprised at how good this Mexican food was (coming from California, Mexican food expectations out of state are always lowered). This is more your 'elevated' Mexican cuisine opposed to your gritty hole in the wall place. The service was excellent and there's a variety of food to choose from. The birria tacos were flavorful and the chips and salsa/guacamole was a good snack. We enjoyed the cool air conditioning and ice cold water refills. It's a little pricey for a large party but you get a decent amount of food and don't leave hungry. We'd come back. read more
