El Que — Restaurant in Spokane

If you like your infusions to taste like dirt, (Imagine biting into unwashed veggies/fruits) And to pay $8 to have it served warm no matter of you're ordering a shot or a drink, this is the place!

First mistake. ... sitting down. As the menu suggests, we went inside to let a server know we were on the patio. After some time we were approached by a server and I asked about the infusions (like the menu tells you to do, since they do not have a rotated/updated menu sheet each time) this was my second mistake, as the server couldn't have listed them any faster and with any less enthusiasm. I quickly caught on she was not here to provide much in the way of service. I told her I was wanting a shot and a beverage.

She suggested the pineapple jalapeño margarita, and the infused vodka with pomegranate juice (third mistake)...

The shot was served warm. I'm unsure if that's intentional, if it's because it took so long to get to the table, or maybe the refrigeration needs checked. When she described it as tasting like a smoothie, that is accurate, a hot dirt smoothie.

The jalapeño margarita was mediocre... and that's probably mostly the ice to keep it cold.

4th mistake was food... the serve was very quick to get away from the table. We had to ask if we could order, she didnt ask if we wanted to. The chips taste like the $2 bags you find at any store. And the queso was gritty and flavorless, but was enough to keep the taste of the infused alcohol at bay to finish them.

I had to go inside to retrieve my bill and though I'm less annoyed by that in general, it's more the continued point of feeling like we were an inconvenience and not a customer.

The bill $60.. for 5 drinks and an app. On a Tuesday, at a taco place. ..

The hot dirt liquor offers a hangover I've never experienced in my life if that is also something you enjoy.

10/10 to not recommend this place... SO MANY other amazing options in the area with great service,...

Went to el que tonight. I guess I will never be back. Bartender refused to serve me and my fiance over a discrepancy that happened almost a year ago. The discrepancy that happened was me getting overcharged the last time I was there and I called and was very upset about the extra charge from my account that caused an overdraft. Also they said they didn't get payed also and complimentary my purchase which wasnt true money never came back to my account. So I went back tonight after months and she brought it up and made me feel like it was my fault and said I never apologized for being upset about the discrepancy. She said it was not her fault and the systems fault. She embarrassed me in front of everyone that was there and made a private money matter public. She refused service even after I initially apologized again for being so upset over the issue that was apparently their systems fault. Never have I ever been treated so disrespectfully by someone in the service industry. If you have someone like her working for you good luck keeping patrons. Will obviously not return. Couldn't talk to the owner about the issue either. Even originally she was a jerk to me and made it difficult to talk to the owner because she couldn't help me apparently on a sunday. She didnt even offer cash refund for the extra charge. I do remember her running my card twice and said the system was acting weird that night. She could have handled this respectfully and chose not to. Sorry I got upset but obviously when someone is charged multiple times for a transaction they are going to get upset. Could have made it right Instead of letting me be overdrafted on...

Worst service I’ve ever dealt with in years. Came here last night around 7:30-8. Girl bartender who served me and my two friends gave me and my girl friend dirty looks whole time immediately when we came in. First time coming in here vibes are already bad. It’s giving hater and she hates her job. Super condescending and demeaning attitude. Took forever for her to get to us and ignored us for a while til she asked what we want. Our drinks were so strong tasted like cough syrup and straight alcohol. Not enjoyable at all. We asked for some juice or soda to mellow it down and she looks at me all rudely and confused telling me she can bring a cup of ice. Like that’s gonna do anything? She stands there all impatiently like waiting for me to order another when she should have sent back and remade the drinks. I’ve worked in restaurants if the customer does not like the dish or drink, they bring it back and remake it no questions asked. The vibes are so bad I don’t even want another drink just wanna get out of there. I tell her “i’m good” and the sideways dirty look she gave me and then walks off all fast is honestly one of the most disrespectful moments I ever had in the service industry. Doesn’t offer to make up for it, instead looks at us confused and rude when we say it’s fine. Would not recommend coming here it ruined our night. I lived in LA past 2 years and never once came across a service industry worker where I had such a negative experience. People like this should not work in the service industry. It ruins it for people who want to support the establishment, but then have to deal with unnecessary rudeness. Will not come...
