Taqueria Comalito — Restaurant in Washington

A good taqueria must check four boxes; meat, sauces, price and service. I was initially floored by the prices and I wasn't the only one. As I was walking in, there were two guys walking out in protest. Another guy came in, looked at the menu and walked out shaking his head. The cheapest burrito on the menu was 12.50, so i went with 2 carnitas tacos which are 3.75 a piece. They were small but delicious. They got the meat right. The red sauce was pretty good, not much flavor. It could be a 5 star taqueria if they hire another person to help out, the wait was a bit long because there was only one guy in the kitchen and one guy taking orders, and they REALLY need to come down to earth with their prices. The most expensive burrito I have ever bought was $10 and I'm not about to spend $15 on one, ever. Everything on the menu is about twice the price as most other authentic taquerias. The burritos I saw them bring out to others looked huge but nobody needs a 2 pound burrito. Scale it back a bit and you can charge less. Good reviews = more business = more money....

This is a nice little locally owned business with good quality food. Now let me be clear…the price of food is going to be a deterrent for some people. It is quite expensive, but to my uncultured palate….it’s worth it because I don’t go here all the time….That’s why I get excited when I decide to. I get the comalito burrito with Al Pastor and a couple churros to top it off. All cooked very very well and the taste is consistent and delicious every time. They are very nice as well. Do I wish it was a little more affordable? Sure I do. Because I want them to get tons of people for business so they can thrive in this tough market. They are the only Mexican restaurant for a few miles around and the community out by the Petro is underserved for dine in and take out food. So I hope these guys continue to keep making quality meals and I hope their business booms so we can keep more we excellent local joints open and less multi billion...

I was very impressed with little spot today. I’ve tried just about every Taqueria in Spokane, it’s also my comfort food. So I try beans and rice with salsa first, when I find a new place. That is just what I did today and geez it was good, thank you guys. The half tray I got was very full to the top, the perfect mix of beans and rice, a nice pile of cheese on the beans. It was hot and that was perfect. The salsa was really a treat, I would say some of the best tasting I’ve found in Spokane maybe the best and It looked really good, green actually tasted like green, the red was hot and tasted like a red,…that says a lot to me. All of the food-smells good- I really enjoyed what I tasted, and importantly all the food I’ve seen here looks very good. I think this little place does know what they are doing in the kitchen. I look forward to trying other things they have here...
