Fresh handmade tortillas everybody looking for fresh Mexican food. Someone said this isn't Mexican in a review I read and they were wrong. This is food made by someone who understands ingredients and puts out gourmet tacos for a good price. You can go there on Taco Tuesday and get 3 tacos for $12 that will blow your mouth and mind figuring out what genius decided to make these food bombs in your mouth. I tried the lamb and fish taco. Look at the ingredients in the menu. They exponentially combine to a different level than typical tacos. I appreciate the chef's creative mind. I want to add that they have specials and I am sad to miss their Valeriana risotto special. I hope they add it again for my next visit.

The food was tasty, but portions are small and you have to place your order before you can sit at a table.When you walk in you stand in line and have to order and pay at the bar, including tip for the upcoming service. You then pickup your order number and proceed to get your own utensils and water and find an open table to sit. Eventually the food comes, that is if you realize that you have to place your order number on the metal holder on the table, otherwise your server takes the food on a tour around the bar not sure what to do with it. Also that moment is the last time you see your server.I got the octopus taco which from my experience was too chewy, not what I expected. On the other hand, the lamb taco was good. The taco bawl was good too as well as the horchata barracha, though it was small of a portion.

We come here often & usually have only good things to say about it but last time we were there the older lady taking our order was pretty rude. We got 10 street tacos with 5 drinks and it was well over $100. We asked for another small taco shell for the leftover meat and the older lady wanted us to get back in line to pay for a soft shell. Maybe she was just having a really bad day but I couldn’t believe the customer service. The owner is awesome & does an incredible job. Very cool atmosphere and everything we’ve tried is very flavorful. The only negative is everything on the menu is fairly pricey, you don’t get very much food and some of the staff isn’t very friendly.

Excellent adventurous tacos! Be open to trying them all…a variety of flavors! Loved the octopus the most! Even the chips and salsas are amazing! These guys do it well!

I nearly shed tears because it was like eating a taco for the first time. This place takes it up so many notches, I don't think I'll ever eat a taco from anywhere else again. This place is unforgettable! Perfect portions, excellent cocktails, quick service, presentation beyond sharp. This place is unforgettable and my new favorite.

Wished I had dined in! Tried a couple of their tacos to go and I wanted more! We ordered the chicken wings,20 hr carne asada, chicken, and beef short ribs tacos. Next time I plan to venture and order the lamb merguez, pescado and octopus. Maybe next week? No complaints but parking was so hard to find not their fault.

We stumbled across this place and stopped in because it looked inviting. Turned out to be some of the most amazing food we have ever tasted. And the staff and owner were incredible as well. I can't say enough good things about this place.Definitely try the octopus... Either in a taco or the insanely delicious salad ... Trust me ... Incredible.Everything we tried was prepared perfectly, and the flavors were bright and happy. You can't go wrong.

If you come at normal meal times, plan to wait. I was staying at a hotel practically across the street so I popped over right when they opened and there was already a line. But OMG the food was delicious! (And don't get me wrong - it was long. I was eating within 20 min of arriving, but don't plan on just grabbing something in 5 min.) But really it's worth the wait. The tacos flavors are amazing. We had three different tacos and they were all amazing. The birria was my favorite but maybe because it was different. Very yummy

These people really know their way about hospitality! I am not one who likes self serve, stand in line to order places. Cochinito not only made that part enjoyable, but the drinks, food and service were exceptional. Tonight was our first time in, it was VERY busy, and every member of the team were on their toes, making success happen.I think they have a real success here, in a spot in Downtown Spokane, where many have failed before.This is not a Mexican restaurant, not even a taco restaurant. It is a place where you can get great flavors, satisfying portions, and terrific bevies too!

You HAVE to come here!! This place is incredible, we had never been before and the guy helping us walked us through the menu and recommended the best taco options. Our favorites were the heritage duroc pork cheek carnitas tacos and the lamb merguez were another favorite!! You can’t go wrong with anything you order from the menu. Amazing drinks, service, and the churros to finish it off were incredible!!
