Tacos El Guero — Restaurant in Spokane Valley

This will probably be my to-go spot for some street tacos if I'm ever in the area. Service was quick and staff was friendly. My big food mistake is not going here sooner.

Had both the Asada (steak) and Adobada (pork) and I have no regrets. Simple tacos with seasoned meat (lots of meat) and some simple toppings and lime wedges. You're usually given some mild green salsa and red hot sauce, that literally taste the same no matter where you go, not that I'm complaining. But at this place, the usual green/red sauce, with an optional spicier green sauce, made me stop and think they were homemade. That's how unique and fresh tasting they were, and made the whole meal that much better.

And to be quite honest, the tacos had no right to be so inexpensive ($2.50) for the for the quality and amount of meat they give you. Especially in the current economy (as of 2022) where everybody's prices have gone up, understandably so. Disregarding price, I would still come here even if they do go up. Will be returning to try the rest of the menu.

Edit #1: Went back for some steak tacos and a fish taco. If you're ever in the mood for fish tacos, please don't hesitate to get one here. It has great flavor and stuffed plenty of fish and toppings, definitely filling. Steak tacos were just as good as the last time. Salsa was...

Best asada tacos I've had yet in the county, and cheapest to boot! It's the first taco joint I ever tried here since moving and every time I try local recommendations for "the best tacos in Spokane", like Cochinito and El Sol, I always find them worse than El Guero's. Still good of course, just not AS good.

I'll add though that I'm the kind of person that prefers simpler foods with a strong unitary flavor. Sophisticated or complex food that "paints a wide tapestry of the sensory experience" isn't my forte.

My go-to is two asada tacos and an El Guero burrito, with two hot salsas to pour on both. I'm a glutton so I eat it all in one sitting, so you could probably split this between two people and be satisfied. Anyway, it's a huge morale booster! Plus, it's both cheaper and more filling than anything you'll get sitting in literally anywhere.

Highly recommend...

I always see a lot of people here, so we finally tried it. It was easy to read the menu and to order. Theres seats to sit at and wait for your order or to eat there. It didn't take long at all to receive my order. We ordered Asada nachos, Quesadilla, Enchalida plate, 4 different tacos, rice and beans, and Sopapillas. Everything was yum! The nachos were loaded with toppings even after we left some items off. The quesadilla had lots of cheese and meat and a nice crisp. The enchalia plate was big and the sauce tasted great. All the tacos had a great flavor and I'm glad I had one of each to try. The rice and beans was really good too better then other Mexican places I tried. The sopapillas were good and a nice ending to a great meal! Everything had a good flavor and I'd go again. The prices...
