14 Best Taco Restaurants near Arden

“Stopped here on our drive thru the area for a quick lunch. The tacos Al pastor were good and my husband enjoyed his steak burrito. Cheese quesadilla was good for the little one. Yummy authentic Mexican food if that’s what you’re craving. 2 tacos were very filling. Only complaint is the outside seating area (picnic tables) had a lot of trash and bottle caps laying around… an easy fix to up the atmosphere.“

“Excellent Taco Shop/Burger Joint fusion right out of a gas station just like you'd expect. Perfectly satisfying and open early and late.Parking: Gas Station lot, plenty of parking, at peak times, there is also plenty of curb space.Wheelchair accessibility: Flat ADA compliant doorway, some curbs but with wide spaces.“

“Love this place! It's a go to spot for me and my celiac husband. We drive here often (1.5hr drive) because the food is bomb, atmosphere is fun, and the staff are so sweet. The Gluten Free items are clearly marked. Great date night place! My favorite it the General Tso tacos and chips and queso!“

“Excellent selection and quality at a great value! When we walked in, the line seemed long but they moved it along very efficiently. Extensive outdoor seating, along with a good sized indoor seating area that filled up quickly on the rainy day of our visit. Highly recommend fish taco and tikka masala taco!Parking: sizeable gravel lot on site“

“This is a must have for downtown Asheville. Friends told us about it so we made a point to check it out. It was worth the cost of downtown parking.Tacos, nachos and drinks that were really good.The nachos are huge and you pick your toppings!Going back for the fish tacos ? our friend recommended.The line moves kind of slow because they are making the food right in front of you, but it is worth the wait.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian here options were good.“

“The best shrimp quesadilla you can get in 50 miles with sine of their Awesome red hot sauce and AI for extra limes and you have a perfect lunch. Another seriously good hidden gem. The steak isn’t my favorite.. tends to be a little tougher than necessary the times I’ve tried it. They have Mexican Coke in the bottle which is a big yes. Don’t go there for their ambiance. Go there for a quick to go order, they accept order aheads.But seriously, the pastor tacos with extra lime and their red hot sauce is very crave-able and especially the shrimp quesadilla.. just to be clear.. on the shrimp…. Quesadilla….. Yep.“

“A friend told us about this place the first time we vacationed in Asheville and we were so impressed that we came back again with the whole family on another trip. The tacos are amazing and unique, not like any other regular taco place. Everything is fresh and so tasty! My favorite was the Korean beef taco with wasabi! Lots of tables to eat at, outdoor dining available and ample parking. What more could you ask for?Dietary restrictions: Almost everything on the menu is gluten free, and is marked with a star on the large chalkboard menu. This is great because I have a gluten allergy and it is sometimes not as easy in other places to see what is gluten free. It was absolutely delicious!!“

“As a lover of all things food I do not think you can get a better lunch for $10 anywhere in America. service was lightning quick and the tacos were out of this world. really good meat, fresh cilantro and the fried pickles don't weigh you down. can't wait to try every single thing on the menu.“

“I believe food prices in general have gotten out of hand. $4.85 for a 6" burrito with hardly anything on it is a little steep in my book. Don't go in hungry or you will pay more and eat more. I had two egg, bacon, and cheese burritos. They were exactly that. The green salsa did make it a little different. The salsa was good. I don't know when they are busy, but I can imagine parking being horrendous. There isn't much parking. The restaurant is in an old building and you can definitely smell the mustiness in the air. I don't have the best hearing and there was a lot of noise behind the cashier, but I could not hear a word the cashier said. Interesting that they would like you to provide a tip up front when you order, but then you sit down and there is a sign that says, "Please bus your table." What was my tip for?“

“Bright, fresh salsa, homemade tortillas, and great service. I had the jicama salad, which was huge - next time I will split it with a friend - with finely chopped apples and jicama, and a generous portion of pepitas. I've had their tacos before, and really liked the tortillas. Our waiter was really helpful and friendly.“

“I attended a First Aid Kit concert here in the fall. Despite terrible weather and a rain delay, I enjoyed this venue. Despite being outside, the acoustics are still very good. The decor is fun, and the merch lines were set up well so that the lines weren't too long. I'd attend a concert here again.“

“Small menu but wonderful selections. I got the street corn and really enjoyed it. I loved the the broccoli wings but I'm trying to decide if they loved me back because they are indeed very hot. But they were great. My wife got a burger on a gluten-free bun. (Unfortunately, that may not always be available. Hope that they make the choice permanent in the future.) I forgot what my somewhat picky son ordered but I saw he ate the whole thing. I did get a chance to steal some of his fries which were really good. Note that they offer 2 types of fries.We will definitely be going back even though they are on the other side of town.Staff was exceptional.Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely loved this place and the sweet family that runs it! I will even go as gs to say that it’s my favorite Mexican food in Asheville. I’ve already been back again. They were very altering and helped me worked around some food sensitivities. The portions were very generous. Their sauces are amazing. We may be even go back this weekend!!“

“Not sure what all the bad reviews are about but the food, atmosphere, and service was excellent! Adam was our server and he was attentative, kind, and fast! The margaritas were very good and not watered down at all. I'm going to come back and try new flavors :)“
