Sure, Taco Del Mar is a chain, but at least it’s a chain that started in the state. In 1992, Taco Del Mar’s founders opened their first location in Seattle after spending years surfing California's coastline. During this time, they ate as many fish tacos and stuffed burritos as they could, eventually developing a bottomless appetite for the local specialty. A favorite fish taco featured fried fish, shredded cabbage, lime juice, salsa, and a mystery white sauce. They loved it so much that they decided to make it their signature menu item when they opened Taco Del Mar.
Since its founding, Taco Del Mar has opened in more than 20 states and Canada. The Spokane outpost is always buzzing with people who love the coastal Mexican eats.
Smacky’s on Broadway
If you’re looking for one of the better Spokane Valley restaurants, you can’t go wrong with Smacky’s. It’s one of the finest sandwich shops in the Northwest, so naturally, you can find some pretty stellar creations you won’t see elsewhere. There’s the spicy Hawaiian melt, for instance, a gooey mess of ham, pepperjack cheese, grilled pineapple, tomato, and brown-sugar chipotle mayo. We also like the turkey, bacon, pesto wrap with pesto-studded cream cheese and the ultimate grilled BLT panini enhanced with avocado and cheddar.
