    A fish and a pork belly taco--total yum...
    Sheri S.

    Great place! I had their small salad--it was huge!!! I thought they accidentally gave me a large. And it was sooooo flavorful and chockful of delicious things. I asked my bartender/server what else might go with it, and he recommended that I get a couple of tacos--by accident I chose his two favorites: one was cod; the other, pork belly. Both fantastic. The Prince's Peach cocktail and the No-Negroni (n/a mocktail) were outstanding! Uniquely flavorful. Wonderful staff, charming place. I love it!

    We happened to be in Bellingham to check out some kayaks at "Nucanoe", and we needed dinner before our 3 hour ride home. We landed on Black Sheep. The menu, ambience and server were all awesome. The menu offers something for everyone and they also have a happy hour. We all enjoyed and assortment of tacos along with some fundido as an appetizer. I also enjoyed a Chai stout beer that was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves tacos and a chill place.

    Pina colada inspired mocktail.

    This is by far and away one of the best restaurants in Bellingham and surrounding areas. I was transported back to CA bay area, where hipsters run the bar scene. The server was cool but very helpful and attentive. I had an incredible mocktail and two tacos. The mocktail was a Pina colada inspired liquid drink, that was not too sweet and absolutely heavenly. The tacos had great flavor, but something was lost in translation in the assembly, the meat was a tad overcooked. The restaurant was quite dim, giving it much more of a bar vibe. I look forward to trying everything on the menu!

    Black sheep is a super cute trendy taco spot! I really like the layout and airyness of the space. We hit their happy hour and went for the guacamole and some tacos. I don't know if I ended up with a bunch of jalapeno seeds in the guac or what but it was very very spicy (I can handle my spice) and I had to drink like 4 glasses of water and my beer to release the fire from my tongue. lol. Our server was so lovely, and we were seated right away. She helped us make our beer selections and had a great sense of humor. My friend really enjoys this place but I found it to be a bit expensive and that the meat itself didn't have a whole lot of flavor. Willing to come back and try the vegetarian options though.

    On our way back from Blaine we stopped in Bellingham for a late lunch. Black Sheep was the top recommendation and we decided to try it. We got Chicken Tinga & Soyrizo tacos, and Chorizo Nachos. The nachos were amazing, the best nachos I have ever had. We loved the tacos. I then also got a Baja Fish taco, it was very good. We chatted with server, and he said he loved the nachos too and it's the cheese sauce that made it so special. We'll definitely be back.

    We just stop by to grab some tacos on the way back from Vancouver BC to Seattle. They have good music and decent tacos with a generous portion of proteins. Our server was attentive also. This is a fun casual place to hang out with friends or come on a casual date. If we are craving tacos again, we don't mind coming back here again.

    We went to this place for their tacos and loved them. What stood out was that the vegetarian tacos were great too and maybe even better than the non vegetarian ones. We tried mushroom kale, Potato, Chicken Tinga and Fish tacos; mushroom kale one was the best out of the 4 but we pretty much loved all of them. Drinks were refreshing too and not overly sweet. Would definitely visit again if up North in that area. The place allows dogs in the outdoor seating only.

    Carnitas taco & carne asada taco.

    Friendly service and very flavorful food. The house salad is a must do with delicious house made dressing. We tried 4 types of tacos and wish we had tried them all, they were THAT GOOD. Loved the cactus wallpaper in the cute bathroom :) The salsas were top notch and house made along with the tortillas.

    Overall: One of the more memorable taco experiences I've had in awhile, would definitely recommend! The good: The tacos are delicious, filling,and fresh. I was worried that 2 wouldn't be enough (along with sharing a guac appetizer), but that wasn't a problem. I went with the classic carne asada and the baja fish, and both were incredible and flavorful. The tacos came out promptly and were hot, and they have plenty of drinks to choose from. Both indoor and outdoor seating, and we were able to walk in on a Friday for lunch. The not-so-good: Honestly not much. I was going to argue that they are a tad expensive ($5-6 dollars a taco), but like I said they are filling and delicious and that seems to be an average rate nowadays. Food/drink: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Service: 9/10

    Pork belly taco left, fish taco right. They look small but are dense and the tortilla is excellent.

    Some of the best tacos I've ever had in the northwest. Great vibe, great service, phenomenal food and happy hour.

    Iced tea

    Good eats and drink. Nonalcoholic iced tea spiced with habanero was good. Two of the pork belly tacos made for a solid lunch. Bar service was great. Street parking (paid).

    Fish taco and chicken tinga taco.

    I hadn't been to the Black Sheep in several years, so I was excited when some family members suggested we meet there for lunch last weekend. From its exposed brick walls to its over-the-top tacos, Black Sheep continues to deliver tasty eats at its iconic downtown Bham location. I started with a locally brewed Mexican Lager (served with a fresh slice o' lime, of course) and waited for the rest of the group to get there. When everyone arrived, we started with some appies: a big ol 'bowl of impossibly fresh guac, and a bowl of their famous spicy black bean dip. Both were excellent! Then we dove into some tacos (I got a fish taco and a chicken tinga) and they were filling and delicious. Their taco prices might seem a little high, but really it only takes 1-2 tacos to fill you up. These aren't your typical, tiny street food tacos. There were two vegans in our group and they were thrilled at the many meat-free options on the menu. Our server was very friendly and attentive too. I'll definitely keep the Black Sheep on my list for a good lunch or dinner in the Ham!

    We came for happy hour on Tuesday and it was very affordable. The tacos are worth every penny. I had carne asada and will be dreaming of that flavoring for a while. 10/10 space and a great location. Not the best for larger groups. Service was interesting it seemed like the servers were very relaxed and slow paced, which made us more comfortable. They didn't try to rush us out.

    Chimichanga and Tacos are amazing. Too bad they don't allow kids. We always end up picking up our food and finding a spot nearby

    My friend recommended this place and I finally got the chance to stop by for an early lunch. I…read moredrove past this place often and due to the direction I was heading, it could be tricky turning in from the other direction (across the road). The restaurant seemed to be a house, with plenty of space. Bottled drinks and desserts are in the fridge cooler and to get them ourselves if we want that. I decided on the Mulitas instead of my usual enchilada plate. It's a smaller version with 3 mini size tortilla filled with meat of your choice. I had carnitas, beef and chicken. All were good. Served with beans and rice. My friend had the beef burrito and it was pretty big. She said it was tasty and very filling. It was literally the only meal she had for the day. It seemed to be a family run place and so service was a bit slow. We had to wait a while before someone came out to the counter for us to make payment. There was no bell to alert them. I noticed other customers popping into the kitchen/staff area to get their attention to take order.

We were looking for some good Mexican food for dinner and noticed this spot, long in the making, was finally open.

This time we shared one with each kind of meat offered: chicken, pork and beef. I can't say which I liked more because they all were so awesome as ever. We tried something completely new to us this time: a ceviche called aguachile negro. I Googled it: "Aguachile negro is a bold, spicy Mexican seafood dish featuring raw, butterflied shrimp "cooked" in lime juice, blended with a dark, savory sauce made from roasted chiles, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and Maggi seasoning. Served cold with cucumber and red onion, it offers a deep umami flavor and intense heat, often topped with avocado." I'll say it's hot!!! A heat that grows and fills your whole head. Yet, it was so incredibly delicious I weathered the effects. I am not kidding--I don't think I've had a dish I have loved more. The flavor is fantastic, and when I fished for a little raw prawn and put that thing in my mouth, I just thrilled. We had some of their wonderful guacamole as a starter, and I wish now I had saved some to try with the ceviche--it would have been lovely. I will go back.

From the passion of…read morethe bartender creating our beautiful drinks to the chef that prepared our food, COA always does it best. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp entre and they were cooked to perfection in the delicious poblana cream sauce. This sauce hits all the right spots and I absolutely love that they cover their dishes with it. I enjoy dipping my chips in there and creating a nacho with all the fixings. The salsa and guacamole is always incredibly fresh and I love the way they make their chips. Tasty, fresh, perfectly salted, and homemade. The pico that came wild the dish was delicious and I loved that they added mango to it. My friends got enchiladas which are always a great choice and we ordered mojitos which were very fresh too. I love how their drinks are always beautifully made with lovely garnishes and fruits to add color. Very excited to go back and try different drinks and entrees! Absolutely LOVE this authentic Mexican restaurant.
