We originally went to the OG location and there was a line out the door. So we opted to head into downtown to find a bite to eat. We parked and looked across the street and saw this location. It was ment to be. We were stoked because they got really good reviews. We got as a family the duck, Buffalo chicken, the peanut Thai chicken, the jerk chicken and the steak and cheese. All were very good except the jerk. It just wasn’t our style but the rest were the best! This was so good we will return for sure on the next visit. The fact that we slide right in after seeing the line at the other location was amazing! 10 stars!!!! We were so hungry we forgot to get good pics. But please do yourself a favor and get the duck taco, you will thank me later!

i really dislike giving restaurants unpleasant reviews and i generally don't visit chain like restaurants because they tend to have generic foods however my friend convinced me to try it based on the plant based options.the worst black bean taco I've had in the USA - to add insult to injury the WHOLE taco was cold!!! AND they charge for sauces which are all terrible and not spicy at all as i was sold on by cashier!The queso option was even worse and reminiscent of velveeta cheese.Even though i only spent a mere $9 at the restaurant i felt robbed!I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all especially if you appreciate real Mexican foods, perhaps appeals more to those with a love for Tex-Mex and have an Americanized Mexican food palate.

It’s been a while since I have taken one bite of food and not finished it. Disappointed in the jerk chicken taco. It was merely a dry chicken tender covered in way too much cinnamon and sugar. Not true jerk chicken in the slightest. My words do not even do it justice for just how bad it was. Waste of money.

If you like tacos at all, this is a must-visit in Asheville. Tacos here are always unique and delicious! You can't go wrong with your choice! I like that you can order as many tacos as you want, and can mix and match your flavors. I ordered a falafel taco and their fried fish taco and they were both so, so good. The taco itself was high quality (and they give you two per taco because they fill the tacos so full) and the ingredients were all fresh. I tried their salted caramel macaroon pie, though, and was a bit disappointed: It was more like a coconut custard, served in a ramekin (no pie crust), with a thin salted caramel sauce on top. So, stick to what they do best: tacos! Surprising amount of seating inside (they have a back room) plus outside tables with umbrellas!

This place was on the top of our list to try while in town. We are so glad we visited it because it was delicious. Between two of us, we split 5 different flavors and they were all great. We tried the Korean Beef Bulgogi, Duck w/Mole, Steak and Cheese, Fish, and Bangkok Shrimp. Hard to choose a favorite but probably the Duck. The service was also excellent…fast and friendly.

Friendly staff with great service. Delicious tacos! Loved the BBQ Carnitas and the Duck!

I was told I had to try White Duck tacos, and I am not the kind of person who can say no to tasty tacos! Loved every bite!

The tacos were amazing!!!!! Highly recommend!!!! Super chill vibe.!!! I loved the Lamb Gyro and watermelon Sangria!!

We tried 4 different tacos and really enjoyed our meal. I don't know that I'd go back since there are so many amazing restaurants in Asheville, but it was a good stop.

We had heard good reviews of White Duck so we had to give it a try. There are MANY different kinds of tacos to try. I got the Korean Beef taco and also a Bangkok Shrimp one. Both were fantastic! Chips and Queso were excellent as well! HIGHLY recommend!
