What a great value. Excellent taste and excellent price on the combo plates. Very fast also. Highly recommend for the value and taste. They have a fresh salsa bar also to get the carrots and salsas. read more

Gerardos Mexican Food - Number 18 Combo (2 Asada Burritos). What a great deal. - Mexican Near Me - Cheney, Washington

My husband and I had lunch here and the food was perhaps the worst Mexican food we have eaten. This is a fast food restaurant so you order and pay at the counter, but there was no excuse for the poor quality of food that was served. The chicken enchilada had dry chunks of chicken that were like sawdust in my mouth. The food had been microwaved so it was excruciatingly hot on the edges and ice cold on the inside. If they had to microwave it, there was no excuse for them not to have at least stirred the food before they served it. No one else was in the restaurant the entire time we were there so it wasn't that they were busy. When we left we wanted to give someone feedback, but there was no one around. We finally took our uneaten food to the front counter hoping to talk to someone, but after waiting for a few minutes and seeing no one, we placed our uneaten plates on the counter and left. read more

I forgot to take pictures!!!! We were so hangry we dove right in before I realized it. I ordered the chimichanga with shredded chicken. I was going to order the meal but decided on just the chimi. Boy am I glad I didn't order the meal....i couldn't even get through half of it. It was humongous. And delicious. We also ordered half sized super nachos with chicken. Again...good thing. A full order would be enough to feed a small army. The portions are generous. You will not go hungry. Great value and enough for lunch the next day. Give them a try!!!! read more

I've lived in the Spokane area for two years now! 54$5$45454$(4)!I'm from a town that is over 50% Hispanic. Good luck impressing me with your street tacos. Well got dang, Gerardo's as the youngin's say SLAPS!!! Ima Lengua guy! I haven't had a Lengua street taco that good since I was in Cali! Oh and the salsa self serve bar...dang they got that right too! Now I can't say the ground beef burrito was the best...but ground beef ain't really a true Mexican meat. But the rice and beans that went with it were darn good! And I will say the giant tortilla was spot on! I think I just need some more salsa for that ground beef! That's my fault! I'm already tryna convince the wife to go back tonight for some tacos! Keep it up Gerardo's I'm comin' back for more! read more

This is an amazing restaurant. Joel did an amazing job and the service was very friendly. Food was so good and traditional Mexican. The atmosphere was fire. 10/10. read more

With a few other options for Mexican food in Cheney, Gerardo's is always my go-to. They have great service and orders never take too long. Being a San Diego native, I find their food is very comparable to the authentic cuisine from down south. Recommended for sure! read more

Gerardos Mexican Food - Carne asada tacos combo, chicken quesadilla, rolled tacos - Mexican Near Me - Cheney, Washington

Just a couple of blocks from the EWU campus and open all day. You order from a board at the front, pay, and seat yourself. I would say the food is pretty good but the service was excellent. The server/cashier was very friendly and helpful. The burritos are huge and filled full. The French fries are thin, crispy, and oh so delicious! The tostado was layered with a small amount of refried beans, lots of carnitas, lettuce and barely any cheese, which was surprising, and disappointing. No sour cream or guacamole either but you have a choice of 3 house made sauces - orange (slightly sweet, not super hot, and the one I preferred), green (medium hot), and red (screaming hot). We would go back again for the fries and try something else. The menu is next to the ceiling and kind of hard to read. read more

very delicious and so many options. comes out very fast and they are always friendly. local businesses need support right now.

Terrible costumer service every time. it stunk today, it's filthy, and my order is incorrect truly half of the time. I called them out this time when they tried to say it's always "the tablets fault"....no sir, you just spoke between you 2, realized you messed up the order, then lied to me. Because you didn't know I speak Spanish :) so I opened the container right there on the counter. AWFUL. I'd let it go and just not order again - had they not just pulled that BS on me. Pay attention and quit blaming platforms for you making the wrong order then lying about it. There are other options around here for far better food, with better customer service, in cleaner establishments. Also the salsa sits out uncovered all day. I've now tried the food and am just tossing it. I think it's gotten worst the last few years because this is not flavorful or appetizing, I don't think it was this bad 3 years ago. Just go somewhere else. It's affordable because it's gross. read more

This was a very pleasant surprise! They're open late and the food is hot and flavorful! The salsa is delicious. The lady behind the counter was funny and helpful. Would definitely stop here again; I just wish they offered queso. read more

Gerardos Mexican Food - Carnitas - Mexican Near Me - Cheney, Washington

This place doesn't look like much, but the food is SOO good! It's a small place with no frills; you order at the counter, and grab your own seat. They do bring your food to your table, though, and the food quality itself is way above fast food. The menu is huge - I had a hard time deciding on what to get. I ended up getting the chicken quesadillas and chips with guacamole. The guac was so creamy and it was a perfect ratio of guacamole to chips. My chicken quesadillas were huge (I couldn't even finish them). Everyone in my group agreed that the portions were big -- some people ordered burritos and they also weren't able to finish them. I think this is a good place to come and split a few different menu items so that you're able to try more than one menu item. Most likely, you'll still have leftovers to take home! read more

OK so I give this place two stars primarily because the salsa was amazing and the chips were actually warm and fresh. Other than that the amount of food that we bought for our family I just wasn't feeling it! The carne asada had way too much lime and I didn't like the taste. The kids didn't like the rice it was not fresh and kinda of hard. Please Don't mention the beans it seemed they were watered down. Extremely runny. We tried this place cause I was tired of cooking but kinda felt bad to have my family eat here. Don't get me wrong the staff were amazing! P.S. don't drink the horchata it has a funny after taste that is NOT the way it should taste. read more

I was so excited to try this place out. A friend recommended it. But so disappointed. We ordered the chips and salsa and it was chips with an onion heavy picodegallo. I ordered a carne asada burrito and the meat was flavorless and cold. My daughter ordered a burrito that was fried to death. The beans are definitely canned with zero flavor. So disappointed. read more

Yum! We were starving and Gerardo's was open and beckoning to us as we drove by. Ordered two carne asada burritos with sour cream, and one cheese quesadilla. So very good. Just hit the spot in that way that only a good burrito can. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Good salsas too. read more

My son had a burrito that was huge and he said it was awesome. My daughter has a seafood dish that looked awesome and she said it was really good. I wasn't that hungry and had a side chalupa that was huge. The outside of restaurant and inside is little worn but clean. Staff was great. I will go back next I'm in Cheney. read more

Gerardos Mexican Food - Side Chalupa - Mexican Near Me - Cheney, Washington

My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. They're more on the casual side, and whether it's lunchtime or after a long night of hopping this is the place to go. I love their rice and beans, and their pork adobada is always my go to. Their guacamole is authentic and is more of a sauce-like consistency. I love their homemade salsas and they pack in a lot of flavor. The staff is super friendly and are always a joy to see! read more

The food here was awful, nothing had flavor. The salsa bar was mainly hot sauce that had yet again no flavor (they were hot but that's all they had going for them) . The limes looked like they had been sitting out for days. I had a torta my sister got a Carne Asada burrito, I cannot stress to you how flavorless this food was. The icing on the cake was when my sister cut her burrito in half and there was only meat!!! What kind of Mexican restaurant makes a burrito with nothing but meat?!?!? Anywho if you don't want to wast your money on some pretty basic food I would suggest avoiding this place at all costs. read more

If you are accustomed to Taco Time style "Mexican food" you will not like this place. See all hater reviews posted below. "This place is dirty". "This place doesn't understand my demands in English for Mexi-fries!!" "This place does not serve my usual Pace picante, MacDonalds nor Taco Bell hot sauce!!!" Booo Freekking Hoo!!! You know who you are. Stay Away! read more

Gerardos is delicious, belly filling, heart warming, reasonably priced, large portioned, Mexican food. Super easy calling in for carry out or going inside for a meal, good sized burritos, and superb chimichanga plate. read more

Gerardo's is a great lil place along the main drag of Cheney. Every time we meet our friends at williams lake for some boating, we always stop at Gerardos on our way home, so 15-20 times a summer! Their portions are huge, so plan on taking leftovers home, and the prices are very reasonable. 10 people I think was $66? Everything I have had on the menu is great. Their guacamole is made fresh every day, and is always spot on. Wait, I take that back... Their chili verde is "OK"... But I'm a real snob when it comes to chili verde. Definitely cheap eats, perfect for a college town. They are also open late. I do recommend Gerardos, you won't be dissapointed. read more

The people and the food there are horrible. That lady helping put our order in was so rude and they show lack of respect for when we were ordering. She started talking to the cook then gave us an attitude like we were the one interrupting her, due to the horrible experience we stop ordering and we walk out. They seem bothered like if they didn't need the business, maybe they don't. Lol read more

I do love me some Gerardo's. Whatever location. San Diego Mex is pretty polarizing, but I love the stuff. Cheap cuts, plenty of sauce/rice/beans, and all ready for my tortilla. This location does a big take-out business, and we of course have enjoyed them on nights we didn't feel like cooking, but we really do like to sit down and experience the brick & mortar. There's always a nice Señorita taking care of the front of the house, and a talented cabellero on the griddle. What sets them apart from the other two Mex joints in this town is their salsa bar. Fresh, plentiful, and flavors from spicy to mild. As many industrial chips as you wish to have (self serve), and limes on demand, as well. The other places in town do not offer that. I remember chatting with one of the owners when they were remodeling the building, and he told me they weren't sure they could make it out in Cheney. I kinda laughed and told him, 'It's a college town, Señor.' That was several years ago... read more

Created a yelp account just to post this. I've worked in food service for 6 of my 8 year work history, and what happened tonight is so infuriating I had to share it. I've been to this place a lot since it opened, and kept coming back even though the food quality has fluctuated. I do love a good greasy burrito place and it was nice having one down the street from my house. However, I won't be going back after tonight. I went in and ordered my usual shredded chicken burrito with lettuce, cheese, and Pico de Gallo added. What I got was the pollo asada burrito with guacamole instead of the pico. I really don't like guacamole and can't eat it, it makes me nauseous. The girl who took my order was sitting down at the table across from mine (where she usually is if she's not taking or running orders), and I said "I'm sorry, but this isn't what I ordered". Now, having worked food service for so long I know what it's like to have a dick head customer yell at you over the slightest transgressions, imagined or not. So, every where I go i try to be as polite as I can. I really don't like to send food back, I know what a pain it is. However, they weren't busy and I spent my last 10 bucks for the food, so I spoke up. The "waitress" told me it was my fault for not being specific when I ordered and told me I in fact ordered the pollo asada. I corrected her, and simply requested she have my burrito replaced. She was rude during the whole interaction, to the point where I gave up and asked for my money back. She snapped "do you want the burrito or your money?". I took the money because at this point I had lost my appetite. She only refunded my burrito instead of my whole tab which had a drink on it too, but I had enough at that point and just wanted to leave. At the restaurant I worked at, if anyone had talked to a customer like that, they would have been fired on the spot. We also refunded the whole tab in the event of a truly unhappy customer. I don't know how a place can expect to stay open with service like that. I walked out, but decided this was serious enough to speak to a manager, so I went back in only to be informed that she is the manager, as unbelievable as that is. So, I will be returning tomorrow to speak to the owner. I won't be giving them any more of my money and I suggest you don't either, there are two other Mexican places in cheney with better food and amazing service. read more

Went here once and won't be back. The food quality was very poor. I ordered a burrito thinking I couldn't go wrong, but was proven wrong. The burrito was so-so, and just wasn't very good for a Mexican restaurant. The rice was flavorless, and the beans were burnt. I have heard a lot of similar complaints from many of my friends as well. From the outside, it looks like a friendly, family styled Mexican restaurant that you would sit down and be waited on. Unfortunately, it's more fast food styled where you order and pay, and then wait for your food. The staff was very distracted and not very helpful or friendly. Cleaning was also clearly not a high priority as many of the tables were dirty and yet to be wiped down. I would definitely avoid this place, and if you're looking for good Mexican food, I would recommend Arturo's. Much higher food quality and way friendlier staff. read more

Terrible. We won't be back. We almost didn't order because the people in front of us were complaining about their food and the people behind the counter were making excuses and eventually they reluctantly decided to replace the food. We went ahead and ordered. I ordered carne asada. I have had it many times in many places and this is the worst I have ever had. It wasn't marinated. It had no flavor. It was thin like cardboard and made me wonder what I was really eating. It looked shaved. I couldn't cut it with the plastic knife and when I pressed down, water came up from somewhere. Maybe the shredded lettuce underneath the fake guacamole. It was weird. My husband got a torta that was supposed to have bacon on it. It didn't. We were already unhappy and didn't plan to complain. About halfway through eating his sandwich, she came by and put a plate of bacon on our table with no apologies or explanation. We looked stunned but even that didn't produce a response. The whole thing was weird and wrong and I doubt they will be there along. read more

For Mexican food in Cheney this place hits the spot. The food was lean and fresh. The beans actually had flavor, and plenty! The meal looked smaller in the picture. The guacamole was excellent, and the salsa bar was great too. Came in around 2:40, and my only disappointment was that the chips were dark, but being this far after lunch I imagine they were fresh for lunch. They could use a bit more seasoning on some of the plainer meats, but those with veggies turned out good. Will definitely be back. So much better than Taco Bell. If you are looking for Mexican American chips and salsa you won't find that here. The salsas are puréed and yummy. The pico was good too. read more

The fajita mix burrito is awesome every time I go. They are relatively fast and the burritos are pretty big for the price.

1 year ago today, I would have given this restaurant a 5 star review. I went at least once every 2 weeks for the first 3 and a half years I was in college. Amazing food. But the new cashier that started in 2020 has blown my mind with her terrible attitude and rude comments. I still live in Cheney and every time I think "Gerardos sounds soo good" I instantly remember my interactions with her and go to zips instead... nuff said. read more

I love mexican food I grew up eating it all the time and I have continued that throughout my adult life and I am very picky about my mexican food but Gerardos never disappoints! My girlfriend and I stopped in here at the beginning of September not expecting a whole lot and left being their #1 supporter and we go there on average maybe 3-4 times a month. I always get the California Burrito for $5.25 while my girlfriend always switches it up. Burritos are by far the best I have ever had and for the price I don't even bother going anywhere else. Their rice and beans I would honestly only give 1 star they had a funky taste to them however their salsa is on point. Not the best I have ever had but definitely not the worst. I use the lighter red color salsa for chips while I use the green salsa specifically for my burrito, I am a lover of anything spicy with a great flavor and although I don't get that from Gerardos that doesn't take away from the great flavor their salsa adds to the burritos. I will continue to get my California burrito every opportunity I get! read more

Been here three times for lunch. I usually get the burritos, they are HUGE! This place isn't a normal full service restaurant , you go to the counter and order so basically its a taco truck restaurant.. Prices are really cheap, and unlike other reviewers I have not had any bad food *yet*. Everything seems fairly fresh, although the beans are a bit greasy. Staff is always nice. Not much else to say, besides try it! read more

It's hard to find great Mexican food in the Pacific NW. You have to settle for bland most of the time. Then there are places like this... there was a little flavor but that flavor was not good. Their red salsa tasted like a tin can and left an aftertaste in my mouth that inspired nausea for hours. Flies flew rapantly around our window table trying to sip my Jarritos. (Soda selection is their only plus.) Service was bleh. Place was slightly dirty. The Machaca was tasteless and I couldn't eat much of it as the salsa did not help. Other family members ordered fajitas and burritos that disappointed as well. Skip this if you actually like salsa and Mexican food and wish to guard your intestinal tract against the distress this place might cause. read more

Update (3/13/2016): My friend and I went here and she found a hair in her taco. My taco was super greasy (not even edible). It was very disappointing visit after my prior good experiences with Gerardos. :( 2015: I didn't even realize this place was opening until my boyfriend mentioned it! I came home late from a concert, we both decided we needed Mexican food; headed for Toxic Hell until I remembered I saw the "open" sign lit up on Gerardo's. Their first night open! So glad!!! I moved here from Denver and miss Mexican food with kick. This place delivers. I loved the pickled carrot/ jalapeño combo! The service is quick, server was very friendly and happy to chat. The carne asada was really tasty. I had enough for drunken scarfing, to share and for lunch at work tomorrow. My boyfriend loved the dollar tacos; great flavor and price. It can be a little on the greasy side (which is the minus 1 star); especially if you get beef, but am finding the mixed fajita burrito to my liking lately. I would also appreciate bike parking! I really like riding my bike around town and end up having to lock it to the parking rail in the back of the restaurant. read more

I'd give this place more stars if I was able! Authentic Mexican food, with extremely generous portions-- at a very good price! Friendly service too! It isn't a fancy place but it's clean and comfortable. No complaints here! I'd gladly return any time I'm in the area read more
