I didn't get to eat here because I didn't realize this was 21 and up but I think it's important to mention how amazing they were trying to help us find a place to take kids for food. They looked incredibly busy and looked like a popular spot. Despite knowing we weren't going to be patrons, they answered at the pick up window and were thoughtful of where to send us providing several options and directions to them all. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely going to try again without kids some time. read more

I admittedly rely on staff knowledge for decision making when everything looks good, and black sheep didn't disappoint! 3 vegetarian taco options (that's a lot, for reference) all flavorful and nice tortillas, good starters, and creative drinks! Elote was ~fancy~ and delicious. They refilled our chips for free when we ran low (chips are homemade and pretty thicc, but cronchy and not overly greasy or salted) Love the vibe of the place. There's a lot of good indoor seating and outside covered. read more

Service was amazing and drinks were great as usual. BUT they totally changed the salad. Way less food overall, less toppings less salad, lettuce chopped huge. I am so sad. This was my favorite salad in town and I pretty much only came here for that. I will give it another shot but so sad about the changes. read more

Black sheep is an amazing low key spot to bring your pup and have great cocktails + tacos! My partner and I had the salsa trio, queso, and fish + carnitas tacos. The service was fantastic and very friendly ground folks. Highly recommend as a spot to check out if you're 21+! read more

I used to love their tacos!! They are still tasty but so soggy! The shell breaks easily. I liked whatever they did 1-2 years ago better!

I've been here several times. The food is excellent. The drinks are on point. Wonderful Bellingham vibe. Slightly rustic with touches of elegance. Today was Tuesday so I had tacos, fish tacos to be precise. They were excellent with pickled onions and carrots, just delightful. Service was quick and super friendly. read more

Excellent French dip sandwich and side salad -- my husband had the burger. Very good food and quickly served our drinks and lunch .

Black Sheep Tacos is a study in contradictions. The food? Killer--bold, messy, the kind of flavor that makes you forget about napkins. The service? Let's just say you'll earn every bite. The tacos lately run on the soggy side--if you like a tortilla with a little drip, you'll be happy. Park yourself at the bar if you want anything resembling attention; table service feels like an afterthought, your glass perpetually empty while the plates land fast and the staff silently wills you to move along. It's strictly a grown-ups' haunt--no kids, no apologies. Come for the food, endure the rest, and you'll still walk out thinking it was worth it. read more

Good service! Nacho with added chorizo was portion was skimpy for an additional $4! harI known I would have not added it! Guac size is big which is great unfortunately the nacho is much smaller than what I have had before - so you have to eat the guac with the spoon! I'd go back no added protein for me- maybe a size of chips read more

Food was great. Best guacamole I have had. Tacos were amazing. There were mushroom, soy chorizo, and black bean and potato. All were great. read more

Had sometime before our flight and we were excited to find a taco joint with good reviews, so we stopped by here to eat. The food and dinning experience was not what we hoped for. The food was not very flavorful, the tacos were cold, and the rice was not good. Decor-its a very cool place. It's got the bright colors of Mexico and has great lighting. There are lots of tables and even has an upstairs dining area. I really liked the skylight and all the plants hanging from the ceiling. Service-our waitress was good, but we're returned our tacos for being cold, and they came back at the same temperature. Once we got our tacos back, it was like we weren't there anymore. Service kinda just stopped. Food-as mentioned, our tacos were cold, lukewarm at best. The shrimp tacos had good flavor, but chorizo tacos lacked flavor. The rice was not good. Our favorite food item was the guac and chips. Food needs some improvement. We didn't try any mixed drinks, and maybe kitchen staff were off their game that day, but it just didn't work for us. read more

Food was outstanding. Tacos. Guacamole out of this world. Buddy said his margarita was good.

I've been here a few times, mostly because it's highly enjoyed by my friends. It is a great spot to hang out with friends. Wonderful indoor and outdoor seating options. The quality of the food at Black Sheep is great, I've never been disappointed by anything I've tried. Their queso and chips - DELICIOUS. If you are wanting to try something uniquely special to this restaurant, try the queso. Some of my favorite things to get are their tacos. Both their breakfast and regular tacos are great. I particularly love their lunch time/ dinner tacos because they are so fresh! I love the fruit and greens they incorporate into the tacos. The most recent visit I had I got the pork belly and asada tacos (what is pictured). I take off a star because of the staff. Every-time I have gone, the staff has always been "stand off-ish". They don't seem particularly happy to be there, and seem rushed when at the table - a bit strange. Also, as some other people have mentioned, $5-6 per individual taco is a lot. I care a lot about the service when I go to restaurants, so I only really keep returning to this restaurant because of my friends that really enjoy the food. The food is worth it, but there are definitely other places in town I would rather go. DISCLAIMER: they are really strict about 21+ policy. you cannot eat or sit there if you do not have your ID - even if you do not plan on having alcohol. read more

Small bar and restaurant and came highly recommended on Yelp. They have a small menu and have fantastic tacos.

Great tacos, and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly, the drinks are tasty. Sometimes the music is aggressive. Relaxing music makes my stomach feel at ease. I don't want to feel anxious while I eat. I do wish there was an option for not spicy guacamole. It's so yummy, and also the spice kind of kills the rest of the flavor around it. read more

What a cool spot. SHOUT OUT TO LEVI, our wonderful helper, who was so attentive and caring; sat down with us to discuss which tacos the spouse should get as he cannot handle spicy food - and was spot on about the recommendations. He loved the mushroom and kale tacos - this was a huge surprise to both of us cuz not most people would think, oh I want a mushroom and kale taco lol. We each ordered 3 diff tacos to try them out. They have a take on tacos al pastor, with shredded pork and pineapple (but it's not exactly the same). My favorite, also a surprise to me, was the fish taco. The only thing I wished was that the piece of fish was smaller or there were two small pieces (it looked great but was hard to hold). Had a really yummy cocktail of which they have a plethora of offerings. Loved the ambience; it's a long narrow space with interesting bar décor. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is street parking. We would definitely stop by again, and it would be a great place to bring guests. read more

We had an excellent lunch here with great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike. I'd recommend at least 3 tacos as they are relatively small. If you are really hungry, you'll want a 4th or a side. Our favorites were black bean and potato, fish, and carnitas. read more

I was so impressed with this place! I brought my dogs with me so we were able to sit on the outdoor patio. They have done such a good job with the patio that it feels like a nice restaurant and not a temporary street enclosure. The vibes were so good! And the dogs loved it too. The drinks were great, I got a frose but they had a really awesome margarita selection with lots of creative options. I got the salad and it was MASSIVE and really delicious. One of the best salads I have had! Hit the spot perfectly. My friend got the carne asada tacos and really loved them. Only downside was that the chips were not free. Super cute vibes, friendly service, and the dogs loved it! read more

I'm so bummed about the chopped salad! I used to dream about it. The last time I got it, everything was different, totally new dressing, no avocado, no tortilla strips, flavorless cheese. This was my treat yourself meal, but I guess that's done :( why would you ruin a perfect thing? read more

Nice margarita and an excellent chicken chimichanga. Service was great and we would definitely recommend.

Everything was great. The guacamole and chips appetizer was delicious. I ordered a non alcoholic piña colada which was amazing. I got three tacos: the carne asada, the chicken tinga, and the black bean and potato. All were delicious but the chicken tinga was the true stand-out! At $5-$6 per taco, this restaurant will be about as affordable as any non-chain place you can find in Bellingham. The restaurant itself was casual but lively. Our server was charismatic, attentive, and kind. Great experience! read more

The chorizo burrito was literally one of the BEST things I have ever eaten. They make it in-house and it had incredible flavor. The homemade tortillas for tacos were different than normal tortillas and definitely quite a treat. We got the carnitas tacos and it had a unique salsa. Great service, incredible food and yummy drinks!!! I appreciate how Black Sheep is working to keep everyone safe during COVID - being diligent on checking vaccination cards for inside diners and offering covered seating outside. read more

Up for a day trip to B-ham. After roaming around Fairhaven for a while, we decided to give Black Sheep a try. Everything was top notch! The service was prompt, got to sit outside on a hot July day. All three tacos I had were really good. Fried chicken & pork belly tied for first. Asada was good but couldn't compete with the first two. Really good stuff, try them! read more

We ordered the salsa trio and 6 tacos. The salsa was excellent and the tacos were very good. Our favorite was black bean potato followed by chicken tinga. Well seasoned with the perfect touch of heat; enough to make your lip tingle, but not so much to lose the flavors! Service was quick and friendly read more

By @iwanttobewhatieat Maybe because I am the Black Sheep I LOVE @blacksheepbham OR as a black sheep I can appreciate the epic tacos and beverages this place always serves me. Located in the heart of Bellingham,WA is this fine little gem. Tacos so good no matter how bad you are, there is some sort of forgiveness granted by the taco gods. It's a great place for the non dairy, gluten free peoples as well. I HIGHLY recommend everything on the menu and the service is also amazing. Killer atmosphere, killer food, killer service that welcomes all the sheep's of all the colors. read more

Nice bar with tacos and small- medium plates for a quick bite. Has lots of seating, clean restrooms and perfect ambience for a rainy day lunch. We got the sleeveless in seattle cocktail which was gin based with ginger beer , honey. Would try one of their house-made sodas next time. We got tacos- steak& egg, pork belly& egg, potato and black bean 9pff the weekend brunch menu as well as the cauliflower taco off the normal menu. Small sized tacos- two per person filled us up along with cocktails from their extensive list. Friendly and very quick service as the tacos seem to just need assembly. Bill came to around 34$ for 4 small tacos and a drink. Not bad for a sit down lunch in a nice spot. read more

Service 1/5 - I was really let down by the service at this restaurant. We sat outside on the patio and our server did not check on us once after the drinks and food came out so we weren't able request more drinks or water. She also confirmed she could take the cilantro off my tacos but they came with an abundance of it which ruined them for me. Food 2.5/5 - The tacos were hit or miss and definitely very Americanized. The carne asada was tough and the fried chicken was dry. The salsa verde on the fried chicken had a kick and was enjoyable. Our favorite were the carnitas and pork belly taco, melts in your mouth. Drinks 3.5/5 - I got the strawberry dude-a-rita and my friend got the banda verdita. Drinks were decent and I wish our server came back to check on us so we could order more! read more

COVID review: I came across this place just wandering around the downtown Bellingham area. We were able to get a seat indoors and all of the tables were very spread out. To start off, we ordered a beer, margarita, and guacamole. Their guacamole was good and tasted fresh. For my entree, I ordered the carnitas tacos which comes with house made tortillas. I thought the tacos were very flavorful and filling. My fiancé got their special burrito of the day and he said it was the best burrito he's ever had. Overall, we have a great dining experience here with a friendly waiter and amazing food. I definitely plan on coming back here. read more
