It’ll be a fun take on tacos that people aren’t used to eating. Agua frescas, TT’s beers and eventually margaritas and cocktails. White: A choice of tacos, burritos and bowls. This will allow us to develop a Mexican campestre, or country, style flavor for our meats by using our smokers. White: Yes, our plan is to use TT’s as a commissary kitchen on the days TT’s is closed. The location makes it convenient to use the barbecue from nearby TT’s, correct? This location not only provides the opportunity to do so, but it’s also currently the only eatery with a drive-thru south of Sprague in the Spokane Valley. White: I’m always asked why I don’t bring more to the Valley. Why the location in Spokane Valley in the former Hello Sugar? We want to offer a great product and have stability. We all survived, so now we’re taking all the survivors and doing something new.

Pruchnic: Part of the reason we’re not nervous about the pandemic is we all figured out how to get through the pandemic. I think we’re at the point where I feel good about the future.

We see this as an opportunity to provide more options for those living and working in the South Valley. White: There’s always a risk, pandemic or not. It doesn’t make you nervous to open during a pandemic? This is a new brand, and everyone is bringing strengths and experience to the table. This is our first restaurant partnership in Spokane outside Hello Sugar, although I’ve known Chad a long time and have worked with him at TT’s. With the challenges of hiring and other moving parts, we love this neighborhood and space and believe in this area, but it didn’t need to be a third Hello Sugar anymore. When we first opened in Kendall Yards, we shared the space with Indaba and recently took over the entire space. Pruchnic: This was our Hello Sugar space, and we recently exited strategically. This town loves their tacos, and this community in the Valley is really great. It’s going to be great, and having our businesses tied together is pretty cool. Thosath: I’m looking forward to being part of this neighborhood even more and bringing something that isn’t around this area that will be as equally in high demand as barbecue. During these unprecedented times, more and more of our guests are looking for convenience along with quality. We toured the space, and I felt it was a great fit for us. Ramsey and Amy, the founders of Hello Sugar, approached Travis and me. White: The opportunity was ripe for the taking. White answered questions over the weekend, then early Monday afternoon with Thosath and Ramsey Pruchnic at the future site of Uno Mas at 11205 E. White, whose Chad White Hospitality Group includes Zona Blanca, two High Tide Lobster Bar locations and TT’s, grew up in the Valley, and Thosath and the Pruchnics also grew up and still reside in the Valley, and they are excited about bringing their tacos to their neighborhood they affectionately call “SoVal” for South Valley. We’ve barely scratched the surface of all that Uno Mas has to offer – so why not go check it out yourself? With good food, good drink, and good views, there’s not much more to ask for, really.Chef and restaurateur Chad White, Hello Sugar owners Ramsey and Amy Pruchnic and TT’s Old Iron Brewery and BBQ co-owner Travis Thosath are opening a taco shop, Uno Mas, in the former location of Hello Sugar in Spokane Valley with a target start date of mid-March. Meat lovers will adore the Presa Iberica de Bellota, or grilled boneless shoulder from the famous Iberico pigs – one bite and it quickly becomes clear why Iberico pork enjoys such a reputation. Do try the tasty Gambas Pil Pil, where prawns are cooked in olive oil, cayenne chilies, and garlic, making for a thoroughly addictive dish.Īnother semi-alfresco part of the establishment is the Dining Deck, where diners will be treated to a visual (and actual) feast from the show kitchen. Unwind from the stresses of city living at the semi-alfresco Tapas & Raw Bar, a classy space which, in addition to a nice selection of tipples, offers an exciting range of tapas options. There’s the Wine Cellar, the Tapas & Raw Bar, and the Dining Deck, all of which are more than worth a visit. The interiors aren’t anything to sniff at either beautiful elements of Moorish design can be seen in all three zones of the establishment. Soak in the gorgeous views of Bangkok’s skyline as you put away a delightful meal of Spanish and other Mediterranean fare at UNO MAS.
