    Tamale-- actually not bad, well balanced .
    Adam B.

    Kind of a mess in there. You can hear the fryer going off just about every minute. They've added a bell to the front door, so as people leave and come in you hear that in conjunction. Did I mention the waterfall making quite a loud constant splash as well? It's basically still very much Fiesta Mexicana inside and out. Way under staffed is my guess, as it took a long time to get my meager order of two Gorditas and a tamale. Got apologized to I think three times. I'm sorry too the roomers of greatness just are not true.

    Delicious food! Amazing service and friendliness! We're from Southern CA and hold high expectations for Mexican Restaurants! 10/10! We'll be back next time we're in town!!

    Loved it here!! We were craving Mexican and wanted something close to our hotel. Got the fiesta and the original margaritas, which were huggeeee and very delicious. Our waiter was so nice and attentive and all our food came very quickly. Super yummy and affordable for the portion sizes.

    Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants we've been to in the area. Will be back to try more! Even our 3 and 6 year finished their plates.

    Food was amazing and strawberry churros were to die for

    Frozen chicken fried steak; for frozen ok I guess but really?! Not worth the hype in my opinion…read more Just average food; nothing worth noting as excellent by any stretch.

    Frank's Diner is Washington's oldest dining car restaurant (the railcar was manufactured in 1906…read moreand converted into a diner in 1931) and was voted the best breakfast spot in Spokane by the local publication Inlander. While this Downtown location is the flagship diner, Frank's Diner also opened a second location in North Spokane. [Parking]: The diner has a designated parking lot and I had no issue finding an available spot at 6 PM on a weekday. [Atmosphere]: Upon entering, there is a sign stating that the diner serves "15 thousand eggs and 3 tons of hash browns per month." The railcar has a great retro vibe and visitors can choose between bar seating and table seating. [Menu]: Yelp's top recommended items include Eggs Benedict and Chicken-Fried Steak. Breakfast favorites are served with hashbrowns or fruit and a choice of toast. There is also no extra charge for adding gravy or grilled onions to your hashbrowns. Do yourself a favor and choose the hashbrowns and also ask to add gravy on hashbrowns. *** Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs (Half-pound crispy chicken fried steak with cream gravy and two eggs - sunny side, gravy on hashed brown, biscuit - $22.00): My waitress, Jenn, recommended the biscuit so I went with it. The hashbrowns were absolutely heavenly - crispy on the edges and moist on the inside. It was hands down one of the best hashbrowns I have ever had. The gravy was silky smooth. And holy crap the biscuit was a home run - ultra fluffy + amazing tasting jam (not overly sweet). The portion was so large that I had enough leftovers for the next day. *** It was an unexpected find in Spokane and absolutely S-tier for both food quality and service. In fact, I think the food here is better than many classic and upscale breakfast spots in Los Angeles. Absolutely a must-visit in Spokane.

    Wow, just wow! From the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left, we felt like…read moreroyalty! We started with a shared Luna salad, it was crisp and flavorful like always. We had a lovely glass of California chardonnay and we both ordered the salmon as our entrée. The salmon was served with corn, onions and celery with roasted potatoes and a salmon cream sauce. It was amazing! We shared a blueberry cobbler for dessert, not because we were still hungry but because the desserts are so good at Luna. What's even more special is the staff remembered us from previous visits! Bravo, Luna!!

That's probably the highlight of the whole experience. I started with the Cheshire Cat mocktail, which was a bit oversweet for me. For main course, I had sea bass for $48 (pan-seared fish served with onion-potato gnocchi, charred asparagus, mushrooms, and asparagus coulis). It was decent, but the portion felt small for the price. Salmon rillette ended up being the best dish! It was rich, savoury, and delicious when paired with pickled onions (the bread was slightly burnt - I hated it). Ended the meal with a vanilla gelato dessert - just okay, not too wow. The restaurant was so packed and seemed understaffed, so service took forever. I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially after looking forward to it so much

I…read morewandered in to the shared space for a coffee at a different stand and then I saw these colorful baked goods. There is a whole deli case full of cold lunch options. There are also warm food options to order. The staff was friendly and upbeat and answered my questions about the baked goods and food. I selected the ginger crinkle and was not disappointed. It was so flavorful and rich with real ginger you could see. I came back the next day for another one. There is street parking but it can be limited when times are busy. There is space to sit and enjoy your food. And there are some neat shops to check out nearby. Highly recommend!

The quality of ingredients tasted really fresh and thoughtful, and they have a surprisingly wide variety of nutritious options. I don't have a chance to try it, but their selection of savory entree plates were very impressive (see my photos pleaseeee), and they also serve delicious soup as well. But the highlight was their baked goods, 100% gluten free at a very reasonable price for the portion and quality. This place is inside Saranac Commons, very pretty and is a good place to slow down for lunch or coffee. Staff were kind, attentive, and happy to answer questions about the menu. Definitely a place I'd come back to whenever I'm in Spokane.
