This marks the first! My brother-in-law did a review in here and based on his review, I had to give this place a try. We were sat immediately in the corner booth. My son had a soccer tournament in Grier and the second game got rained out on a Sunday evening so it seemed like a good evening to stop in to have some tacos. The boys settled for Birria tacos and I decided on the burrito bowl add house crème on the side! Sipping on an AP admiring the decor while waiting for dinner to arrive. Our server was ver helpful reviewing the menu for 2 Willy's newbies. She walked through her favorites without asking the dreaded, "idk. What are you in the mood for?" She explained the taco flavors naming the most popular then suggesting 2 types of bowls. The burrito bowl is like heaven in a bowl. All kind of flavors never know what you're getting every bite pickled onions, brazed brisket, and all the fixins! Great meal. Willy's is on the top of my list for Spartanburg. read more

Willy Taco's Spartanburg location does not disappoint! I've been a fan and frequent flier of the Greenville Feed & Seed location for years, and now that I live and work in Spartanburg, I can confirm that this location is just as delicious and fun! My most recent weeknight visit started off just right with friendly service and a drink- that Mexican Ashtray hit just right after a long day of being a desk troll. Shoutout to whoever had the idea to offer not one, but THREE varieties of Cholula at the table--I appreciate being able to re-up my hot sauce quotient at will. My husband and I shared the queso blanco appetizer, which was quite tasty. Bonus points for the magic dust sprinkled over the chips. For entrees, tacos came in strong. I had a Crispy Avocado and a Chilly Willy shrimp, both of which were done just right. The fried elements were crispy and crunchy with zero excess grease, the veggie toppings were crisp and fresh, and the sauces were savory and so good. My better half enjoyed a Mother Clucker and a Patagonia Steak, which came with an awesome chimichurri. The menu looked a little different since my last visit. I was sad to see that my favorite taco (Cauliflower Power) did not make the cut, but change is good, right? I will say that the grits are a stellar addition to the sides and more than made up for it. Thanks again to everyone at the Spartanburg location for a great weeknight meal! We'll be back soon. read more

Willy Taco is always great for a fun night out. The choices and variety of dishes are awesome as well as delicious. Tonight was even better with the kindness and courtesy of our server, Sydney. She was plenty busy but never left us waiting...plus her team who brought us drinks and the nachos were 'spot on'. read more

Willy Taco was a pleasant surprise! We are here from South Florida and this was our first night in town and this was great! We spent some time looking through Yelp at the local selections and decided on Willy Taco. We were blown away! We had the Tres Amigos appetizer which hit all the spots. We had 3 different drinks and the mule was our favorite. She had the two taco plate combo with the brussel sprouts. Tacos were great but the brussel sprouts stole the show for her. I had the Cali burrito which seemed a bit small but in the end the flavors were fantastic and the size filled me up perfectly. We highly recommend Willy Taco and we might even come back by again before we head home. Thank you so much! read more

Very chill and friendly. Outdoor seating was well insulated. Service was super laid back but friendly. Shout out to Kevin. The salsa was mid (IMO) but I probably should have asked for pico instead. I got the Chipotle's chicken quesadilla and it was very good. The meat was flavorful and tender. I'd order it again! read more

This was my second time getting Willy Taco, the first wasn't that great of an experience since I ordered on Doordash but this time was much better. I went with a friend and we got chips and queso to share, very tasty. And then I got a steak quesadilla, so delicious and she enjoyed her taco. This is a great place with cool decor but it is in a slightly odd location, luckily they have parking. read more

This is our second time visiting. Casual ambience definitely Tex-Mex but good and seasoned Tex-Mex. South Carolina doesn't have much to offer when it comes to food, in my opinion. Our first server was sweet as pie. The second young lady was equally as lovely and attentive. Service across the board was phenomenal each time we visited. The tres amigo is the perfect appetizer. The first time I had the guacamole it was the best ever. I can't say that regarding the second go. Very bland and flavorless. It taste like avocado and lime juice lol. I ordered the Mother Clucker without bacon and the brisket barbacoa. Serving sizes are HUGE! Each taco is the size of an appetizer plate about 6-7" and loaded up with meat, toppings and all the fixings. A bit overwhelming for a small person like myself. My beau had the chicken chimichanga. He loved it. He works in Construction so after being in the heat all day the serving size was perfect for him. Second go around we both got the Taco bowls. Equally delicious and HUGE! I added the cilantro lime shrimp and he added the beef. There is a lot of fixings on these salads. Although good definitely not the healthiest. Couldn't use this meal for weight watchers even if I wanted to lol. Willy Taco is a must try when in Spartanburg. Will visit again when we are in town. Oh and if it's your first visit ask for the free taco card! read more

Do not let the looks fool you.. it is a good spot. The service was fast and friendly. The parking was premium. We started with the trio .. guac, salsa, and queso. The queso was solid. The guacamole could use some more seasoning and spice. They have a varied menu with tacos, quesadillas, salads , and more. Loved the street corn ... just like they serve in Texas. I liked the Korean pork taco, but it wish the tortilla was a little larger. My son loved the shrimp taco ... the sauce had a good flavor, and the shrimp were crispy. The grilled veggies were over cooked .. I am not a fan of mushy. read more

Great food! Loved the vegetarian option, I got the Veghead Bowl and was delicious! Was also very pet friendly, the patio is practically indoors, perfect for any kind of weather when traveling with a pet. read more

This was our second time visiting this location.I enjoyed my selection,but my husband was kind of over it. I would come again, because I really liked the food although the chicken could use some additional cooking. The decor and the atmosphere is really nice and the severs are really attentive. The only issue I have is that there are a few severs that require deodorant badly. In my opinion,there is no way that the mangers or owners do not know or smell the employees who need to use deodorant. This will hinder me from returning because the smell is very off putting. read more

Absolutely wonderful food and service. The corn fitters are a favorite and the brisket barbacoa taco is amazing! Our server Ben was incredible! He did great with our young kids and super helpful! Best server we've had in a long time read more

Walked in and was seated immediately. Had the coconut lime margarita, loved that they rim it with fresh coconut. Ordered the fresh guacamole, and it was sooo fresh and seasoned really well. I love that they added radishes and pepitas to to the guacamole, that crunch was a perfect addition. I ordered the blackened mahi taco(which was on special) the crab cake taco and the Patagonia steak taco as well as the street corn. All three tacos were not that warm. The steak on the steak taco was not seasoned well and tough. The crab cake taco was the best, very well seasoned and tasty. The mahi taco was decent but the fish was chewy. Ordered another margarita because the first one was so delicious! The waitress initially forgot to bring my street corn so they have to make me one fresh off the grill and omg it was worth the wait. One of the best I've had read more

First off, get the Brussels!!! OMG!! So good! Tacos are great, as are the adult beverages. Service is always friendly & good once you get service, seems to be lack of communication between the host/ess & the wait staff. Will return, the Brussels are that good! read more

Best queso and chips I might've ever had to be honest. The chicken/bacon quesadilla was on point and the servers/bartends were very nice and friendly. I like the concept as well. Plenty of space inside with a nice screened in patio area. read more

Normally I love going there but today got bad service and guy at the bar was rude not going there anymore lost regular customer.

dangit. wanted to give a great review because of the staff. they were great- attentive and responsive- but the food.... the Avacado tempura was cold and greasy. The Patagonia steak taco which sounded amazing had deep fried onions for a topper which were also cold and greasy. The meat had a funny taste as well. We love Mexican food and want to support local businesses but come on man.. do it right. read more

Tacos served up right! A big variety of unique tacos along with other menu items beyond tacos. The service was outstanding! Quickly seated and quickly served. Our waiter had a great attitude and checked on us often. The food was outstanding and the portion size was good. Well the salmon was on the small side but had a nice flavor. We spoke to the manager and he talked to us about their in house infused tequilas. Oh My Gosh! I want to come back and try them. So now Thats the plan!!! read more

I drove to South Carolina to visit one of my best friends. I told her I want to eat somewhere I could not eat anywhere else. I had BBQ the last 2 days so I needed a break from BBQ. She recommended Willy Taco. After I briefly looked at the menu, I was sold. Willy Taco has the feel of a hippie dive bar. There is an outdoor eating area and we were able to sit at the bar. I debated between the craft tacos, a brisket sandwich, and a burger. I decided I should go with what Willy is known for, tacos. I chose the Hot Chick, Ninja Pig, and Mother Clucker. Out of the 3, the Hot Chick was my favorite. It had a spicy and seemed to be breaded to order chicken finger with pickles and some kind of creamy and spicy ranch. The Ninja Pig was different from normal because they were out of pork. So they used brisket instead. I think this taco would have worked better with the pork. The brisket wasn't bad but just doesn't absorb juices like pork does. The Mother Clucker was ok. It had pulled chicken with bacon and cheese on it. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! If you are looking for craft tacos and a good time, go to Willy Taco. read more

Food and waiter great! They have the best seasoned chips and shredded chicken. And it's a fun atmosphere!

Hey, if you're looking for something a little different from other Hispanic or Latino inspired restaurants, Willy Taco is the place to go. One of my favorite items is the Willy Cheesesteak. Like a Philly Cheesesteak but in a soft tortilla wrap. 2 for that dish. Even on their busy days it's service with a smile and if they are real busy the servers let you know approximately how long of a wait you can expect. read more

The delightful server Erin (Faith) was genuinely the best server I've had the pleasure of having at any restaurant. The thoughtfulness and quick execution of my order was nothing short of incredible. Does she deserve a raise? Yes. Does she deserve promotion to manager? Only if it comes with a raise. No complaints on this end, 10/10 service. Boiling Springs location. read more

I get to G'ville, SC occasionally. I'm drawn to Willy Taco. I guess it's the vibe and the food is pretty good as well. I've had the tacos in the past and they're really good. I tried the smash burger and it was cooked to perfection. In every way! I did find it unusual to get a burger without mustard for it; nevertheless, it was good. Service is what these peeps do really well. Staff is always genuinely pleasant and accommodating. It's cultural. Justine was my server and she was delightful. But frankly, everyone seems to give off a vibe that is very service-oriented. Highly recommend. But if you're getting the smash burger, bring your own mustard. :-) That's not totally fair, though. They brought me some aioli-and ya' know? I think it was better. read more

Visited Willy Taco last night and had the best evening! We were celebrating a milestone and did so festively with a flight of tasty tequilas and delicious food. The salsas are beautifully crafted, food was fresh, flavors matched perfectly, and presentation was a delight! Service was friendly and attentive from the host stand, server and bartender who helped us choose our tequila flights. Oh and prices are great! Don't think twice about visiting WT read more

Stopped in during a business trip in the area for a quick lunch on the way through SC. The service at the bar was quick, ambiance was laid back casual open and fun. The food, had the pimento tacos which were amazingly delicious and an unsweet iced tea.

Willy Taco - Bar area - Mexican Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

SPARTANBURG, SC 06/20/19 LUNCH +Lots of entertaining menu options; i.e., "holy guacamole" and "mother clucker." +The serving portions are huge. I looked at my co-workers tacos and was like "dang." +Reasonably-priced Mexican fusion fare. -They did not offer fountain soft drinks, so you had to order bottles at a time. No refills. -No loyalty rewards program. -Some of the sauces were super sweet and corn syrup-like. Verdict: I would come back to try some other dishes, if I were in the area again. read more

I had an awesome time! My brother and I stopped by for a very late lunch. I ordered an avocado taco and a mother clucker. My brother ordered a brisket taco. I really wanted some Mexican street corn, too, but I wasn't sure how soon I would be eating after this and I didn't want to fill myself up since I was staying with others. The tacos were decently sized - I left feeling as though I didn't need anything else to eat. I really loved the avocado taco. It was tempura fried perfectly. The mother clucker also has some amazing flavor and the amount of chicken was really nice for the taco size. Service was great - would totally go back! read more

Writing this is rough. I wanted for this restaurant to live up to its rating. That ended up being an absolute NO. I had purchased 3 tacos and steak rolls. The service was fine and the atmosphere is also fine so I expected to grab my food and have a smile. The first taco was a steak bbq. The presentation was fine but when I bit into it , it was like biting into a sponge. The flavor was like a very diluted bbq water which made it absolutely terrible. The second taco had so much vinegar that it made me gag. The third taco I couldn't finish either. The steak rolls were soggy and greasy. The best part was the Brussels sprouts. I'm hoping it was simply because I picked up at 8pm which was 4 minutes earlier than was expected. Terrible. For the $30, I should've eaten somewhere and something else. read more

Sat there for 20 minutes waiting on server. No one got us drinks, no one said "be right there". People who came in behind us were served immediately. 20 minutes go by, another couple walks in and is also served immediately. Literally at the table next to us. We got up and walked out. F this place, service sucks. read more

Nachos were really good! I got my food to go, but the staff was really nice and attentive!

We've been coming here for about 3 years now. LOVE the food! The street corn fritters are amazing. There are a few things, though, that aren't ideal: 1) The barstools are crap - so uncomfortable it's hard to sit for too long. 2) Have to beg for silverware - let's bring back the routine we were all raised on where everyone gets a fork, knife & spoon. 3) Restroom needs attention- one of the toilets has been leaking for 3 years minimum 4) Bar staff needs to be more attentive to the customers than their co-workers/friends 5) Our bartender told us there's no happy hour on Friday, however, the menu says happy hour is weekdays....of which, Friday is one Don't be deterred by this list, though! The food is so worth it! read more

Willy Taco - Crispy Avocado - Mexican Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

I'm impressed. A friend recommended this place for us as we found ourselves passing through town. I had three tacos. The Southern Tide was one with crispy shrimp, smoked applewood bacon, pimento cheese, etc. Another was a marinaded steakThe Patagonia Steak and the last was a Braised Brisket with Dos Equis somehow involved in the cooking process. I was expecting somewhat standard fare, but was quite pleasantly surprised to find creative and unique flavor combinations. These are really amazing tacos. I find it difficult to call them anything other than highly creative gourmet interpretations of traditional Mexican food... If you enjoy Tex Mex and would like to see it taken to a higher level... try this place. I'm back for the third time... If this wasn't a great place trip two and three would not have happened. read more

Willy Taco - Mexican Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

My family was visiting Spartanburg for graduation weekend. Our very first meal in Spartanburg on that very first visit was at Willy Taco so we decided it should definitely be a place we visit on our last visit to Spartanburg! Staff was friendly and we were seated quickly. We ordered the Tres Amigos for our table. Chips were perfectly seasoned and the guacamole, queso and salsa were delicious. Most of our group went with the "Loco Lunch Tacos" and I'm sure that between the six of us we probably tried all flavors of tacos! I had the "Patagonia Steak" and the "Motherclucker," both of which were awesome! Everyone else enjoyed their tacos as well. Overall, a wonderful experience and if we ever find ourselves in Spartanburg again, we will definitely stop by for a taco... or four! read more
