I will say it seemed like a lot of locals were eating there. The tacos were fresh. Some of the chips were either stale or soggy, but the ones that weren't were actually delicious with the cheese. Good for quick lunch.

This place had several choices along with several meats to choose from. Soft Tacos to Gorditas you are bound to find something. I choose the tacos Al Pastor, Chicken and Carne Asada. All the meats were fresh and hot with tortillas tasting handmade. Topped with the typical onion and cilantro. They give you salsa on the side. The Gorditas is what got me excited! I love that they use a handmade mass dough to make these. The meat of choice was Carne Asada. They were out of Lengua. I will go back again and again for this. It was my absolute favorite. They have Jaritos to drink. And they have a little market on the side behind all the plants and flowers. You can find the handmade tortillas here along with other goodies for your Mexican dishes. Give it a try!!

Very reasonable prices, $8.75 for 3 tacos. The lady that runs the truck is very nice, but expect a bit of a language barrier if you want to stray from the normal offerings on the menu (unless you speak Spanish, of course). I have also had the torta cubana, which was huge and delicious. They are normally parked at the Citi Stop on Sweeten Creek and Rock Hill Road, so if you see it, be sure to give it a try.

This is our 2nd time to the White Duck. The location we visited years ago on our last visit to…read moreAsheville was unfortunately impacted significantly by flooding. So we went to a different location this time. The White duck taco is a simple shop that does not serve simple tacos. They are creative and well thought out flavors served in about 4 ounce portions. I recommend getting a few to try the different flavors. The team members we encountered (forgive me for not getting names) were just wonderful. They had smiles on their faces and were very conversational. Now, my disappointment. 3 yrs ago when I was last in Asheville, the White Duck served duck. This is a favorite of mine. However it is no longer on the menu. Though my Thai peanut with mango chutney was delicious, I was looking forward to duck!

I was thinking I wish they were near me in MD because I would frequent this restaurant. Def a hidden gem here in Asheville, NC. Highly recommended!

They had a variety of options including pupusas, tacos, quesadillas & some traditional Honduran dishes. I tried a fried shrimp dish that came with a salad, plantains, etc and it was good!

On a recent trip to Smiley's flea market my friend and I found this gem. Unlike some of the other…read moretaco places at Smiley's, Taqueria Los Gallos doesn't have an exterior presence. It is located on the corner of the indoor market. The market's walkway literally transects the dining room. What Los Gallos lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in authentic kick ass tacos and tamales. My friend and I visited Los Gallos after we succesfuly located a copy of the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. This was victory food. We ordered two al pastor tacos and a tamale. The tacos were on point, double wrapped corn tortillas, and a solid helping of delicious pork. No frills, just solidly well prepared pork, onions, and cilantro. The tortillas were warm and tender. The tacos were good, but the tamale was GREAT. We missed out on the verde chicken tamale, as they had sold out by noon. We were happy to settle for the pork rojo one, which was still available. Los Gallos' tamale was bigger than most, and it was moist and airy. Dense dry tamales can take a hike, this thing was a golden brick of maize. The pork within was nice chunks of slow cooked meat, not some sort of macerated filling... oh man, I can't get over how awesome this tamale was. The best part? Tamales are $1.50. I think everyone loves finding a new spot, a hidden gem that offers an out of this world food item, and Los Gallos is just that spot! Furthermore I have to mention their avocado salsa which is neon green, and the most delicious salsa I think I've ever had. I know I get excited about things regularly... but Los Gallos... Los Gallos is worth driving to Fletcher for. Word of caution, Los Gallos is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am til 3 pm. This gives you a very small window of time to check this land of wonder out.
