Taqueria Guerrero — Restaurant in Spokane Valley

I literally told several friends and some random guy at the gas station about how good the tacos are here.

We had the fish tacos (thank you, Friday special) the pulled chicken tacos and the churros.

FOOD The Fish Tacos were genuinely the best I've EVER had. The fish was fresh, cod I believe, perfectly fried, and it might be a spicy crema media sauce the put on them? But it's perfect; none of that lime flavored mayo that's so popular for places in the US. Toppings also included sweet onions, finely diced, finely chopped cilantro... es absolutamente magnífico. Absolutamente. PLUS: they have a special on Fridays for fish tacos, and you'll save $0.50 per fish taco.

Kid's Meal Chicken Tacos ... the kids ate these, so I can't personally state how they tasted, but they couldn't stop shoving them into their faces, which tells you everything about 'em that you need to know. I loved the fact that they have a kid's meal option ... 2 tacos of your choice, refried beans and rice for like $7.50 !?! PLUS: la mujer up front asked us if the kiddos wanted all the toppings, and put sauce on the side specifically for the kid's tacos. She obviously knows kids are picky eaters.

The Churros ... Ok, honestly, I messed up, because you gotta eat churros right away, and I got us lost on the way back to the hotel. But even after being in the car for 40 minutes and shoving these amazing tacos into our faces for 5 minutes, the churros were still good. Crispy, albeit chewy (thanks to me letting them sit too long), perfect amount of sugar, cinnamon, and a dark chocolate drizzle... Just yum. It came with 6 churros. They're about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and are about 7 inches long.

All the tacos come in white corn tortillas. They have a huge menu to choose from. Everything is obviously in-house made.

ATMOSPHERE We walked in for a pickup and the place was quiet. It says a lot about a restaurant when there are people sitting at tables, but they're re not even talking, because they're just continuously eating. LOL. Several tables, utterly silent, just hunched over their plates, looking kinda afraid like someone might take from them There was an overland trucker guy there who had tried every item on the menu. He said he'd been coming there since day 3 and plans his trips to go through Spokane just to eat there. I'm sold.

STAFF So professional. Genuinely considerate. While all the customers are silent, as they're noshing this awesome food, we heard BOH talking to FOH, calling out orders, asking questions and getting it DONE. They didn't start our order until we got there, which I'll admit slightly irritated me at the time, because I just wanted to grab it and go... However, in hindsight, they know you don't wanna eat fried food that's been sitting for forever, so they made it Fresh for us. They want it to be perfect for you.

I already talked about how considerate of the kids the staff was, and that means everything to me.

TL;DR Food so good you can't talk during dinner? ✅ Food so good you come back regularly? ✅ Food made fresh for your order? ✅ Food made with quality ingredients? ✅ Food so GOOD that you tell some random guy at a gas station the next day all about how awesome the food was? ✅ Professional/helpful staff? ✅ Excellent options for kid's meals? ✅

Am I gonna go back? Pregunta ridícula, of course I am! I don't even live in Spokane, but I've literally made plans so I can drive through 2x just to eat at Taqueria Guerrero... Im not happy that I've become one of those people who plans their trips around food, but I'm really excited about getting these...
