La Michoacana Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Spokane Valley

LA Michoacana Mexican Restaurant offers a dining experience that transports you directly to the heart of Mexico. From the vibrant wall decor and authentic music to the friendly staff, the restaurant proudly showcases its Mexican heritage. Additionally, their selection of Mexican soda, spices, and other items adds a delightful touch, making it feel like a cultural immersion rather than just a meal.

The highlight of LA Michoacana is undoubtedly the food. The tacos, nachos, papa's nachos, and salsa are top-notch, bursting with authentic flavors that keep me coming back—especially for their popular Taco Tuesdays. They also have a bar and plenty of cocktails and margaritas.

However, there are a few aspects that could use improvement. The tables and chairs are outdated, which detracts from the overall ambiance. The staff, while friendly, can be slow and occasionally distracted with conversations in the kitchen. Additionally, the back of the store is somewhat messy, with broken merchandise visible, which could benefit from better organization. The host seemed a bit disoriented, possibly new, which impacted the overall service experience.

In summary, LA Michoacana Mexican Restaurant offers incredible food and a charming cultural experience, but it could shine even brighter with some updates to its furniture, improved staff efficiency, and better store maintenance. I recommend visiting for Taco Tuesday's to get the best bang for your buck. With a bit of attention to the details, this gem could elevate its status as a beloved...

So my husband and I decided to try this place due to the fact that casa de Oro has STILL not repaired their plumbing and it smells like raw sewage the minute you walk in the door. We had high hopes. Too high, apparently. Quaint inside and a beautiful menu. We were pleasantly surprised to receive white bean dip and a tablespoon or so of red sauce instead of the usual salsa. Something different! And it tasted good! We ordered the fried jalapeno appetizer which arrived late after a reminder to the bartender, who was only at our table to tell me that they were out of Coors light. No big deal. Bud light will do. Our food arrived and I noted that the rice was a beautiful golden color. I guess no one in Spokane valley makes any tacos except the tiny street ones any more. What was supposed to be shredded beef was...well I'm not sure. Some sort of beef mush on two tiny 3 inch corn tortillas. Instead of melted cheese on my cheese enchilada was a portion of cotija cheese, cold and hard. The enchilada itself was more dried up than my grandma. It came with some sort of roasted onion piece. There was a squeeze bottle of watery avocado...something, on the table that squirted all over my phone. My husband's rellano looked like no rellano that I've ever seen. And I've seen a few. Flat. Cold. Limp. Terrible. It was very expensive. All in all, the rice and the beer was delicious. Never going...

Last year it was great.. however now new menu, raging price increase, and menu Well let's just say I think they're trying to make it more of a bar because there was more drinks on the new menu then there is food. They had giving us chips and salsa and a little beans when we first got there and well we ate those pretty quick because it was a smaller portion than they used to and after they took our order they asked would you like some more chips and salsa? Sure we said why not yeah dollar fifty more because they charge you for the extra. I mean come on, what Mexican restaurant doesn't give you more chips and salsa at no cost after all. And my son order the chili relleno plate and he is always gotten tortilla shells to go along with them. So when you didn't get it he asked and she said oh sure yeah I'll get them for you. Yeah a dollar fifty more for 3 round small Street Taco size tortillas shells. I'm surprised they didn't charge us for the water. However the margarita the worst I've ever had. I may remember last summer going several times having a great meals and a great margarita, I don't know what they've done but it's sad because it was a great place. However they are very friendly they're very great people I wish them luck. But I know we won't...
