El Sazon Birrieria — Restaurant in Spokane Valley

Okay, the biggest problem in the inland PNW is finding acceptable Mexican food. We all know Taco Bell and Del Taco are to Mexocan food what microwavable burgers are to a real burger. They may taste acceptable when half drunk or high, but they aren't the real thing, right? That's what nearly every Mexican place in Spokane is like, hopped up Taco Bell, or so greasy you need a sponge to eat it with. El Sazon Birrieria is the real deal. They serve food that ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD, isn't dripping with grease, and has FLAVOR! You know you are in the right place when most of the people eating there speak Spanish as a first or native language. The smells are incredible! And the Trompo....oh, dear gods in heavens, the Trompo! Their Asada is awesome! I haven't had a single thing I didn't like. My personal favorite? Troppo fries. Seasoned fries with huge amounts of Trompo, beans, cheese, sauce, sour cream, and jalapeños. And it's a BIG plate! Now, it's not exactly cheap food. Expect to pay $14 a person at a minimum. But is it worth it? Yes, dear gods, yes! So do yourself a favor and go...

First off " Spokane need an upgrade in mexican food" Secondly the food was bomb asf. I got the " tacos de cueritos" ( pork skin) and the quesa Birria with extra consomme broth. The tacos de cueritos hit the spot. I only have 3 favorite restaurants here and this is now my 4th favorite 😍. Btw I got mine through doordash sooo I can't really grade my experience in the restaurant yet....UPDATE soooo recently they been using compostable eco friendly paper to go containers for delivery and I usually ask for extra cilantro, onions, salsa with my "tacos carnitas cueritos" AND usually they are pretty neat about it & don't overdue it with the extra toppings, BUT this time they purposely & intentionally overloaded them out of spite & was extremely messy using the white paper compostable to go boxes for my tacos instead of the aluminum which they always use!!!! Sooo beware if you ask for extra toppings on tacos next time you order for delivery, they usually never do that. Good food but they're getting knocked down a star for being intentionally messy and...

Absolutely blown away. I’ve been bartending and managing restaurants in Denver for 30 years—I know good food when I taste it. And this? Hands-down the best Birria I’ve ever had. Five stars isn’t enough. I’ll be coming back regularly, no doubt about it. Also, a drive through even. Hell yeah.

💡 To the owners: I say this with all respect and admiration: your portion sizes are incredibly generous—borderline too generous. You’ve nailed the flavor and quality, so don't give it away. Tighten your portion control and give nothing away free. I want to see this place thrive, and you absolutely deserve to. You do NOT have to compete with Atlanos. Your blowing them out of the water in flavor and quality.

🔥 I ordered the Vampiro. It was loaded—with enough meat for two servings—and only $6. For comparison? Two sad tacos at Taco Bell cost the same, and those barely come with an ounce of meat. Yours are bold, rich, and unforgettable.

👏 Don’t sell yourself short. Keep the quality, tighten the margins, and this place will be legendary and sustainable for...
