I though that I left this review a long time ago! Taco Billy is the bomb! I am a huge breakfast taco fan, and theirs are some of the best! I tried the Migas and the Mama's favorite. I'm a big guy who likes a hearty breakfast and these filled me up. The service was excellent, though I did take-out. The restaurant seems very chill and relaxed. I would highly recommend for Gluten Free! They have both corn and plantain tortillas - both of which are gluten free! They're also willing to sub tortillas to make tacos gluten friendly! My favorite are the plantain. I will definitely be back! read more

Everything was delicious! And very fresh tasting: we were seated quickly, and food came out quickly. The queso was spicy and tasty, the guac was fresh. Definitely stop in when at black mountain read more

We tried to go to 4 other fancier places that had a wait or were closed midweek and I am SO GLAD they were closed. Taco Billy was shockingly good. The service was friendly and the food was not ordinary good it was fantastic! The chips and guac were probably the best I've had that weren't prepared table side. I had the San Cris (pork) and the Yardbird (chicken) tacos and they were stunningly good. I talked to the Kelly the GM to tell her how awesome it was and she was so friendly and engaging. This is not an average good place, this is seriously delicious food. Don't pass on this place because of the casual vibe. And, don't forget to find all the goats in the vintage paintings. So fun! read more

Service and ambiance always great because the place was relaxing and it only took a matter of minutes to deliver. I got myself two Mama's Favorites, which are breakfast tacos consisting of sausage, scrambled egg, spinach, sweet potatoes and goat cheese on a homemade plantain tortilla. Every time I get it, it's enjoyable. Flavors work nicely together. Just the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. In other words, Mama's Favorite? More like Luca's Favorite. read more

Always up for a taco anytime anywhere so I stopped in having never stopped at the Biltmore location. Ordered two Kirb Service tacos and a lager. Looked like dog food on a tortilla and didn't taste much better. No wonder south Asheville closed, the other locations won't be far behind. Just a suggestion but get out of the restaurant business so tacos still have a good reputation. read more

A must try when the area. The tacos have unique names and toppings. I tried the yard bird and really enjoyed the fried chicken and slaw. The homemade guacamole is some of the best I have had. Would definitely like to go back and try some of the other taco offerings. read more

You may love this place but we were disappointed. The rave reviews brought us in with an "even if it's not great, tacos are tacos so it's still going to be good" kind of optimism. Boy, were we wrong. Blandest salsa I've ever tried. How do you even do that? The tacos were not terrible- like the concept is there, but they were all SO greasy. Like incredibly oily/ buttery for no reason. And the flavors and textures were all just way off. I ordered the two recommended to me by who I assumed was an owner, and they were both mediocre at best. I really wanted to like this place! Maybe they just had an off day, but sadly it was a miss for us. Service was great though-very friendly! read more

Me and the wife were attending the Sourwood Honey Festival. Decided to try Taco Billy. I had the Morita pork taco and Yard Bird taco. We split the guacamole and chip. All were very good and tasty at a reasonable price. . TB is worth a try. read more

Taco Billy has done a great job with their Black Mountain location. It has a bright, cheerful look, with a lot of fun art, and the restaurant is bigger than it looks from the outside. Tacos are mostly $5.95, but they're interesting flavor combinations. They're big, and one will fill you up. The chips and queso is great. Taco Billy also serves breakfast tacos and such all day. Staff is friendly and helpful. The place is clean and seems well run. It's a good addition to the eating scene in downtown Black Mountain. read more

We came here for dinner one night while in BM and had a great experience. This place came recommended from a friend and we could see why! The tacos were excellent and our whole table loved the chips and guac/queso dip. It's counter service, and they recommended '1 taco is a snack, 2 tacos are a meal', so, being hungry, I got three. All three were overflowing to the point I had to eat some before attempting to roll it up (a great problem to have). I love this place and am making it a 'must-have' on our next visit to BM! read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Taco Billy. We visited on a Thursday and they had frozen margaritas and chips and queso available for $5 each. I was tempted to grab these deals, but didn't since I already had two tacos in mind and they would fill me up. The clerk at the counter was friendly and efficient at taking my order. I got the Mama's Favorite & the Lunch Lady. I chose green salsa, which had a mild spice, to put on my tacos. The Mama's Favorite was my favorite as it came on a plantain shell... something I have never seen before & I do love me some plantains! It was SO tasty! It was filled with breakfast items including: eggs, sausage, spinach, sweet potato and goat cheese and the shell was soft and slightly sweet. The Lunch Lady was also good with its shredded mole chicken, pickled onions and queso fresco. Even though there was not table service, a staff member still came and asked us how everything was and if we had any questions. The bathrooms were clean. I will definitely visit Taco Billy next time I am in town and will be dreaming about the plantain shell until then! read more

Absolutely delicious and worth the price. The combinations are not as creative as White Duck but the portion size makes up for it. We each got two tacos and it was plenty. There is one table for two outside the front door. We were able to seat three people and a dog by rotating who sat in the chairs and the bench. read more

Food is extremely overpriced for the quantity. The quality of the food is horrible. It legit taste like youre eating goat knuckles. The service is nothing special. The environment of the place was like eating at Burger King. Youre 100% better off going to tacobell. read more

I love taco Billy. I've been going to their west Asheville location for ages and finally made it to the black mountain one. If you like breakfast tacos you will love it here. This location was less busy than the Asheville one which I loved. The staff was super friendly and it's a lovely spot. I know they had some issues opening but it was worth the wait. Highly recommend! I will be back. read more

It was my first stop to the Black Mountain downtown area and my 2nd stop at a Taco Billy location. First impressions were who know that Black Mountain was hoping on a random Thursday afternoon. This location was much bigger than the AVL location and gave you a little room to breathe. Tacos didn't disappoint as we went for the more lunch options rather than the breakfast staples. Polished it off with a cold Tecate and it was a great stop to fill our bellies. Much like most places around the area, you bus your own tables - nothing new :) read more

What started out rocky ended up positive. I love taco Billy. Back in the day, the first time I lived in Asheville, I lived within walking distance of the other taco Billy location. You can imagine how often I went there. I've been a few times that location last year but since I was driving through Black Mountain, I decided to grab a little snack at the new location. For some reason, the online ordering would not accept my Apple Pay even though I kept trying. Seems like it was an issue with my card. So I decided to stop in and order one quick taco to go. Loving the new decor and space. Similar to the old one which is also now expanded. Great energy inside with a little bar and plenty of seating. All very clean, and fun feeling. There was a little bit of a line when I got here, but I was fine to wait. The person working the cashier seemed a little flustered and was quite scattered. My favorite when I ate meat was the Billie Holiday so I asked her if it would make more sense that I ordered that and swapped out the meat for veggie chorizo, or if I made my own. She said she could easily do a swap. Again, I clarified that it would be more cost efficient and smart doing that and she agreed. When she totaled up my order, I noticed that it was seven dollars. So then I said to her "no, it looks like it would've made more sense for me to build your own because I only want three things". She accidentally sent that order to the back so then she had to spend some time canceling it and re-doing my order. She seemed annoyed at me, but I asked prior to ordering. In her redo, she left off the eggs. In her defense, she did say "is that all?" so maybe she didn't hear and she was re-clarifying. Would've made more sense to re-clarify by stating what she believed I ordered specifically. I guess something maybe happened with the kitchen, and this order never got sent back, even though I paid and tipped. I was standing and waiting for it about five minutes when somebody who was perhaps a kitchen manager came and checked in with me. At this point I've been in the restaurant about 15 minutes. I told them it was fine, that I could wait a little bit. As I continued to wait, A few more really kind workers came up and checked in with me because they noticed I've been standing there a while. Honestly, all of these other workers are the ones that completely saved my experience and overall feeling about the establishment. Finally, I got my taco but based on this situation, I had a not good feeling so I checked it. Yep-it was wrong. Just veggie chorizo and cheese. Extremely flustered and frustrated (after clearly, stating what I wanted multiple times and waiting 30 minutes) I walked back into the store to let them know. The cashier started arguing with me telling me that's not what I ordered which felt uncomfortable and so I just said it was fine and left. The manager followed me out, offering a gift card or a redo. He then said he would just comp my order. I was really late for my event at this point, but I accepted- just got the comp. Very kind and responsible offer. As he was coming in, somebody from the kitchen made the correct order. Very quickly. Nice! In conclusion, I don't recommend just veggie, chorizo and cheese, because that's a little boring. However, building your own to make it veggie friendly is always a win. I think it might be nice if they let you swap out regular meat for a veggie meat even is that a little cost just to simplify the menu/ordering. Also, in conclusion, just be nice. I worked in the service industry for a long time and I have a lot of respect and understanding. All of those really nice staff who showed they cared made a difference. I am always going to love this place. So glad that the Black Mountain location did not leave a bad taste in my mouth overall. I love how much they pack the tacos full. I love the red sauce they serve it with (even though she didn't ask me what sauce I wanted, I got that one). I love their queso and frozen margaritas. I love the decor and local feel. read more

I had the breakfast tacos on a few occasions while visiting Black Mountain. Extremely good and filling.

So, this was not our destination, but we happened to park in front of it and my companion's eye widened when she saw tacos (we were actually supposed to go to the pizza place next door). So, knowing better than to come between a woman and her tacos, we stopped in but only had the queso dip and chips, a margarita, and a beer. I will tell you this... that was the best damed queso dip I've ever had in my life. Now we're making a trip back to the area in the near future just to try the tacos. The place is cool and funky and quaint and well decorated. I loved all the Goodwill-style art that had been modified with tier logo in each. Nice touch! read more

Great little taco place with unique offerings. Friendly folks here serving freshly made tacos. Great spot for a lunch in Black Mountain.

First time ever eating at Taco Billy. Have heard good things about the food, staff and atmosphere. Breakfast all day gave me an opportunity to try the Billy Holiday and Joel breakfast tacos. Option of taco type and sauce. Fresh red sauce was my choice and it was tasty. Both tacos consisted of eggs, cheese and protein. With chips and gauc, I would have been satisfied with just one. The taco portions were filling. There is plenty of indoor seating and a few spots outside. The restaurant area has two sides with a modest bar and beer taps on one side. Nice to have the option for a variety of beverages with delicious tacos. One places and pays for order and then is given a number to place on the tablet. The one minor issue was that one guest had a vegetarian taco placed on the same metal serving plate as a meat taco and the meat juices ran over. The server brought a new veggie taco and all seemed well. read more

I was visiting the area and went here for an early lunch. OMG - I believe this is the best, tastiest taco I've ever had! Started off with the chips & queso, which was real good and not too spicy for me. Then I had the Lunch Lady taco, and was pleasantly surprised by just how delicious it was. Will definitely go there again next time I'm in the area. read more

Comfort food at its best! A family favorite of ours, but in a much closer location in Black Mountain. I recommend parking in one of the lots around the main district, and it's a short walk to the door step. Upon entering, take in the newly redone space and fabulous Billy goat decor. Easy peasy ordering at the counter, and find a seat-which there's a lot of comfortable options. The food is cooked fresh and brought straight to you, easy clean up with bussing bins near the counter to keep things moving for the next folks. Dynamite coffee, local teas, fresh delicious food and fabulous customer service give this top marks in our book! read more

A 9 year old's review: if there were more stars, I would've filled them in! It was amazing and only like a three minute wait and affordable, it was just amazing. Delicious fresh ingredients. Friendly staff, clean place. Nice decor. Really inspired combination of ingredients. Definitely try the plantain tortillas. Bathroom access very ADA friendly, ramp and multiple grab bars. Wide doors and ample space for walkers, wheelchairs etc. read more

We love Taco Billy! The Yard Bird is my favorite, along with the pineapple agua fresca which is addictive. This is always one of our first stops when we get into town. read more

The coffee was outstanding! And it was serve yourself from a pump thermos, as much as you want. The service was equally excellent, friendly and informative, a nice greeting and smiles all around. The "taco" was okay. I've spent lots of time in Mexico, this was not that. I got the Migas Taco. It was Migas (I've also spent time in Austin) dumped on top of a soft corn tortilla. I ended up not eating the tortilla, because it just didn't add anything to the dish. The Migas tasted good, but not something I'd go out of my way to have again. I had a choice of red or green sauce, and was told the green was spicy, so I ordered that. I'm not even sure there was any in my Migas. Maybe it was forgotten? I ended up using the hot sauce at the table to add some flavor. The price was right, not overpriced. Good atmosphere, lots of space, nicely decorated and clean. Just wish the "taco" was more exciting. read more

This place has awesome tacos, and I love their vegan options! The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable with what they are serving. It's a fun little vibe with soo many goat paintings. I will definitely be back. Their place in Asheville is just as awesome! read more

Another five star review here, can't go wrong with this one! Fast service with a smile. Super fresh local ingredients, both the red and green sauces are amazing. The price is right in the portions are too. I wish they had one of these close to where I live, I'd be there every day for lunch. read more

The tacos were incredible! Super fresh ingredients, and the salsas were sooo good. We also added breakfast cocktails that were perfect for a Sunday morning starter before you stroll through Black Mountain. We also tried White Duck Taco in Asheville and honestly, Taco Billy wins hands down for us. read more

This place was SO good, and the music and decor made it really fun. I'm always worried when I order meat at taco places that it's going to be full of gristle, but my husband and I were very pleasantly surprised that every one of the 4 meats we tried tasted fresh and were free of anything chewy or gross. They also fill those tacos UP. Neither of us could finish our food, but it was so good that we definitely tried. Service was friendly and quick. I wish we lived close enough to come back regularly. read more

Great food with vegan options. We shared several different tacos and loved them all. My favorite was with the plantain tortilla.

Food is good, but the service is not. Some of the rudest staff I've ever met in my life. Prob won't be back for that reason

Brought my visiting family here and had a great lunch. Everyone got their own tacos and enjoyed everything, and I especially liked the Santi and Marita tacos. We also enjoyed the chips and queso. Casual spot, friendly servers. read more

During our recent visit to Black Mountain on a very cold day, we decided to try the taco place we'd seen earlier while strolling through the downtown area. While we were disappointed that the restaurant is not dog friendly, we respect the owners choice. Regardless, we ordered to go and we're not disappointed. We ordered 2 tacos each for a total of 3 Grandberry and 1 San Cris. This was more than enough for lunch. The Grandberry was very good; crisp but soft tortilla, well seasoned beef, and nice choice of toppings. I enjoyed the flavor combination of the San Cris. The marinated pork was fantastic. The only downside was that the presentation was a bit on the soggy side. The service was friendly and our order was prepared quickly. We will definitely visit Taco Billy when in the area again. read more

Amazing tacos! Loved my vegetarian tacos. Though I wish I had only gotten one (big tacos!) both were delicious!!

Great food! Service is friendly and fast. The queso is amazing. Favorite tacos are the santi, support group and the yardbird. Breakfast tacos are great also. read more

This was our first time to Black Mountain and Taco Billy. We started with chips and queso. The queso was tasty, but I was disappointed that the chips weren't warm or fresh tasting. We both had the "Yard Bird" taco. The flavors were very good, but the fried chicken tasted like it was leftover from lunch (we were eating at 3:00 pm). I expect we might've had a better experience at a busier time of day with fresher food. read more

Service was great. Tacos taste great, and loaded with food. Very chill place to be in.

Great unique tacos, very nice staff and cool decor. Great vegetarian options as well.

Incredible food and beer, what a great little gem! Highly recommend their Tinga taco, I could have ordered nothing but those and been perfectly happy read more
