    One of our favorite Mexican spots in Spokane! Great service! Love the burritos and fajitas. The habanero salsa is also great!

    Carne asada street tacos

    QUESABIRRIA! Ahmazing! Make sure to order your quesabirria extra crispy and order the avocado sauce to pair with it. So filling that I could hardly finish two. I used to go to Atilanos all the time until I have found El Charrito. I love their beans and rice, chips , salsas, pico de gallo, carne asada street tacos. They load the street tacos with plenty of carne asada. Everything that I have tried is amazing. They make everything from scratch , from their salsas to their tortillas, EVERYTHING. Their horchata is made with real cinnamon sticks and it's the best I have ever had. They have delicious apple churros for dessert. Ever since trying this place a month ago I have ate there one to two times a week already! Their coming out with quesa ramen, and I can't wait to try that!

    I would not pass on the Al Pastor tacos. Simply some of the best I've ever had. And they have a great outdoor patio!

    Woooo finally good Mexican food in South Hill. Ever since Gerardo's closed down in downtown, I've been pretty sad. My favorite go to meat is lengua (beef tongue) and they were the only ones that had it besides De Leon which is super far in the valley. But South Hill has now been blessed with lengua. Before you knock beef tongue, just try it. I make most of my friends try it before telling them and they're always surprised it's tongue. After, it becomes their favorite meat. Trust. Everything here is good but my personal favorites is the torta (sandwich) and sope (corn pancake thingy?). The torta has such soft bread and delicious flavor. With slices of avocado, it works perfectly with whatever meat you chose. Lengua for me though. Al pastor (pineapple pork) is also good. $6.50 in general but extra with lengua, but worth it. For the sope, I prefer al pastor but you can get lengua with this too. The sope is perfectly crispy on the outside and a little soft inside, adding nice texture and flavor to the queso, tomato, lettuce, and sour cream. $3.30 The jamaica is hibiscus tea and I found this to be one the few bad things here. It's concentrated and outrageously sweet, I had to water it down a bit. I'm not a big sugar person though so if I get McDonalds sweet tea, put half into another cup and fill both up with water to minimize the sweetness as a reference for how minimally sweet I like things. Lastly, their avocado salsa is the truth. It's not super spicy either but works with almost everything. Thank you El Charrito for bringing good Mexican food to the South Hill at a decent price, it's been a long time coming.

    The food and drinks were great, however the service was appalling…read more Things started out great with our first round of drinks, but our server changed while we were waiting for our joiners. Totally understandable, but our second server couldn't have cared less about our dining experience. We had to ask for a salsa and chip refill six times before it arrived at our table- I wish I was kidding. Our dirty appetizer dishes, plates and drink glasses sat on the table our entire meal, and no one came back to check on us. We also had to flag down our server when we wanted to order our dinner, more drinks, and ask for more water. Most disappointing of all, our graduation party, that no one asked us about, had 8 people meaning this awful service got tipped 18%. I completely understand having automatic gratuity on large parties, but the service needs to be worth that 18% if you're going to charge it. This was our first and last time at Molé. The food and drinks truly were good, but the bad service outweighs the good eats.

We found Molé restaurant along our walkway and decided to make a pit stop. Thankfully, there weren't a whole bunch of people yet. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we sat outside with a beautiful view overlooking the Spokane River. It was not a clear view due to an obstruction of some leafy vine plants that covered the railing. That made it not so pleasant. In order to truly see the view, you literally had to stand. It would've been best to have bar height tables and chairs to capture the view and the dining experience outside would be lovely. The interior of the restaurant is pretty large with nice decor, art mural, clean and comfortable ambiance. Our server was nice and made recommendations. We were offered complimentary chips and salsa which we enjoyed. The salsa was good. I ordered the Baja Fish tacos which were delicious. I enjoyed it paired with horchata drink. My daughter ordered the Empanadas Fritas. She stated was pretty good. We would return to try other items on the menu.

I cannot say enough about how good everything was! Our server was very helpful with recommendations. The restaurant itself is clean and not overly loud like a lot of Mexican restaurants. Since everything else was so good, I ordered a slice of Tres leches cake for dessert to go. It was super pretty and although I only ate one bite, well worth it. I highly recommend if you are in Spokane.

    This place was recommended by a friend who said they had the best Carne Asada. That is my kids…read morefavorite meal so we had to give it a try. They loved it. They said it had a nice charred flavor and very tender. I had the taco salad, which was good and had plenty of toppings to make it exciting. It also had a lot of meat so it felt like a full meal. 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 birria is delicious and the most authentic I have had so far in any restaurant in the states. The staff is amazing. There is plenty of seating so even if it looks busy, there are still tables available. The staff is constantly walking around cleaning off tables, asking you if you need anything in a friendly, respectful way. Not in a way that would make you feel uncomfortable or rushed. I can't wait to go back!

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.
