    I let'm have a few months under their belt before visiting since they opened their brick & mortar. Oh, man. Big thanks to the reviewers who posted pics of the Quesabirria. If you are not familiar with this dish, it started in Tijuana, and has slowly moved North. Thank the food gods for that. It's essentially beef pot roast, inside two gently fried corn tortillas lined with cheese, and garnished with diced onions and cilantro like street tacos. The consome that the beef is braised in is served on the side for dipping, with a nice swerve of herbs/spices that only Abeualas know. Spectacular and so hearty. I take it that traditionally it should be made with goat, but none of us can visit the grocer and pick up a goat roast, so... Only place doing it in the Spokane/C'dA metro that I know of, but 100% of the gringo joints will probably never have it on their menu. If I wind up being wrong--great. Didn't come cheap ($16), but I had the third taco for a lite din-din, so no complaints from moi. Also got a generous pour of the hard stuff, with a Modelo Negro, and off to food coma I went. With the exception of maybe five Mex joints in the area, I had pretty much given up on having experiences like we LOVE in Central Washington. These guys enter very select company for our family's choice in Mex west of Tri-Cities/Moses Lake. This is working man's fare...

But I went during breakfast. I was surprised how small the breakfast menu was since signage outside makes a big deal of serving breakfast. I was also surprised that, if breakfast is supposed to be such a big deal, why is there only one person working the whole floor plus acting as a part time bar tender? Food was ok, but I expected more for the price. One thing that really stuck out was the toast tasted like it was spread with the butter flavored stuff you cook with rather than any kind of butter or margarine or anything you should actually put on toast. I will also note that the decor could use a little cleanup and updating. Yeah, I get this is primarily a sports bar, but it just really looks faded and sad. Not like a comfortable lived in sort of way like a good dive bar would be, more like a neglected home where someone is too old to properly care for the place anymore. Anyway, I can say I have tried this place now. Hopefully they get more adequate staffing for breakfast.

I got the Pint Burger, and honestly, I was a little disappointed. For a place that's known for burgers, I was surprised they use frozen patties. They also don't ask how you want it cooked, and I thought it was a little bland for the price. The sweet potato fries were really good though, especially dipped in BBQ sauce like our server recommended. My husband got the chicken quesadilla, and he said it was really good. It came with a different kind of sour cream that he really liked. We'd probably come back, but next time I'd order something different instead of the burger.

You could easily (and maybe have...) walk past it and not even know. I found my way in and was faced with a dark room and a wonderfully lit display of liquors. They infuse many of their own and offer flights of infused whiskeys. The drink menu has options that feature many different spirits. I chose a gin and citrus drink that was a wonderful blend of bitter and refreshing. I made myself sip it slowly, but it was tasty enough that I could have thrown it back. The bar tender was friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgeable. The room seemed to be recovering from the recent Hoopfest...there were coolers and some things in the back of the space. There were also a LOT of bottles on the counter behind the bar. I don't know if it is always like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back for the drink and to show it off to friends.
