What a great little taco shop. We came in during happy hour, not super crowded on a Saturday. Our server was quick with helping out and suggesting things. We got the guac and chips, some ranch water and beer off the happy hour menu. All the tacos looked amazing. We had the carne asada, pork belly and a couple of fish tacos. Wanted to order more but we're already pretty satisfied with what we ordered so will have to come back to try other options! The restaurant has a nice big bar and lots of seating, very open feeling with its high ceilings. read more

Four stars - Good We went here after hiking at Oyster Dome. They had the windows open in the restaurant, so I was happy to have my jacket. Our server was nice. And overall, the food was good. I really enjoyed the tacos, but the nachos left a bit to be desired. The basic nacho cheese made it a bit bland. I did not get any drinks, but my friends' drinks looked good. I would recommend going here! read more

Stopped by while we were in Bellingham. We were able to get a table quickly. Service was good. I had the Pork Belly Taco and Queso Fundido. The taco was delicious. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The queso was ok. It was a 3 cheese sauce. Overall, nice spot to hangout. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Pretty good for a" bar with tacos ". Each small soft corn tortilla will cost you approximately $5, and sides like salsa with tortilla chips at least that. It's a cozy setting and the staff are friendly. I'd return if wanting to sit and have a light lunch with someone. read more

The food is really good. Nothing fancy, but well prepared and well proportioned. Service is chill and atmosphere is mellow. Great vegan options! read more

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. read more

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.

Absolutely loved our experience at Black Sheep in Bellingham! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home, super friendly and attentive. And the food! Hands down, the best tacos we've had in ages. We tried the fish, chicken tinga, nacho plate, tofu, and carnitas, and each one was packed with flavor, but the fish and the nacho plate stood out as our favorites. The cocktails were just as impressive. We had the Smoke Four Seasons Bourbon and the Citrus Bourbon, and they were both incredible, so much depth and flavor in each sip. Honestly, this place is worth the drive from Seattle alone. Plus, Bellingham is such a charming town! Definitely made the whole experience even more special. We'll be back for sure! Highly recommend to anyone in the area or planning a trip. The only small complaints that I would have that were not major, were the lighting was a bit too dim but then again it's a bar. Also the hot water in the restrooms coming through the taps burnt my hand. They did have a warning for it in there but I didn't notice it in the dimly lit setting. read more

I didn't get to eat here because I didn't realize this was 21 and up but I think it's important to mention how amazing they were trying to help us find a place to take kids for food. They looked incredibly busy and looked like a popular spot. Despite knowing we weren't going to be patrons, they answered at the pick up window and were thoughtful of where to send us providing several options and directions to them all. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely going to try again without kids some time. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Amazing tacos! I don't like tacos, but wow I love black sheep tacos! The pork belly is my absolute favorite. There's so much flavor and the chutney doesn't taste too fruity since it's mango pineapple which I also dislike. The pork belly was juicy and the corn tortilla is so soft and fresh. I love the fish tacos too but I had such a tiny piece in it. Finally the Carne asada was tender and tasty. Usually beef is always dry and chewy. This was cooked perfectly with all the toppings and really the tortilla is the winner for me. There's a drive through window. You need to press the door bell for service and can order online from their website! If you come early they tell you to come back for pick up. Overall, delicious and I will be back! read more

I love that when you walk into Black Sheep that the first thing you see is a vending machine that has things like local art, mystery bags, and valuable trinkets, such as "f**k's to give", "kiss me" kits, and coloring books! It provides you with all the things you didn't know you needed while you wait to be seated. We came as a party of 3 at 6:00 on a Friday night, and we only had to wait 2-3 minutes for a table. This round, I ordered a mezcal old fashioned for something bold and strong. It delivered and was a great way to start the night. Who doesn't love classic chips and guacamole to go with their tacos? I enjoyed their chicken tinga and carne asada tacos along with their relaxed atmosphere. Their guacamole is excellent. I love that it was busy without being overwhelming. I'll be back for some margaritas, snacks and vending machine treasures. read more

Wow I wish I took a second to take a picture of my breakfast burrito but I was starving. However I ordered it and was pleasantly surprised and impressed by how great it was. Top breakfast burrito I've ever had. I loved it. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. This is 21+ restaurant so not kid friendly but they have a great selection of specialty cocktails for you to enjoy. The service was amazing we got seated quickly and taken care of fast. Food was out within 20 mins. It's a cute place with a lot of bar seating. Very casual atmosphere. Great for a Saturday afternoon. read more

Went in to have a nice lunch, but everything went downhill from there. Seated promptly in the front of the restaurant. 2 other groups inside. We made our decision to have the steak taco and chicken tinga taco each. Waited. Waited. Saw 2 people clearing the table as the one table had finished their lunch. Waited. Waited. Picked up and walked out. Went up and told the person behind the bar that we are leaving due to lack of customer service. She said that she didn't see us sitting at the table. I'm 6'2". I said that I was only giving her the information so that they can improve as a restaurant. Went to Leaf & Ladle instead. read more

Service was amazing and drinks were great as usual. BUT they totally changed the salad. Way less food overall, less toppings less salad, lettuce chopped huge. I am so sad. This was my favorite salad in town and I pretty much only came here for that. I will give it another shot but so sad about the changes. read more

I used to love their tacos!! They are still tasty but so soggy! The shell breaks easily. I liked whatever they did 1-2 years ago better!

I admittedly rely on staff knowledge for decision making when everything looks good, and black sheep didn't disappoint! 3 vegetarian taco options (that's a lot, for reference) all flavorful and nice tortillas, good starters, and creative drinks! Elote was ~fancy~ and delicious. They refilled our chips for free when we ran low (chips are homemade and pretty thicc, but cronchy and not overly greasy or salted) Love the vibe of the place. There's a lot of good indoor seating and outside covered. read more

Excellent French dip sandwich and side salad -- my husband had the burger. Very good food and quickly served our drinks and lunch .

Black Sheep Tacos is a study in contradictions. The food? Killer--bold, messy, the kind of flavor that makes you forget about napkins. The service? Let's just say you'll earn every bite. The tacos lately run on the soggy side--if you like a tortilla with a little drip, you'll be happy. Park yourself at the bar if you want anything resembling attention; table service feels like an afterthought, your glass perpetually empty while the plates land fast and the staff silently wills you to move along. It's strictly a grown-ups' haunt--no kids, no apologies. Come for the food, endure the rest, and you'll still walk out thinking it was worth it. read more

Good service! Nacho with added chorizo was portion was skimpy for an additional $4! harI known I would have not added it! Guac size is big which is great unfortunately the nacho is much smaller than what I have had before - so you have to eat the guac with the spoon! I'd go back no added protein for me- maybe a size of chips read more

Food was outstanding. Tacos. Guacamole out of this world. Buddy said his margarita was good.

Great tacos, and the food is delicious. The staff are friendly, the drinks are tasty. Sometimes the music is aggressive. Relaxing music makes my stomach feel at ease. I don't want to feel anxious while I eat. I do wish there was an option for not spicy guacamole. It's so yummy, and also the spice kind of kills the rest of the flavor around it. read more
