    Ground beef and rice bowl (bottom) Empanada (left) Spicy chicken burrito and chips (right)
    Madison T.

    Fun taco joint near the river arts district. The empanadas were the bomb, along with their house chips. The spicy chicken burrito was massive and turned into two more meals for my friend (epic). The season beef in my rice bowl was a unflavored unfortunately but overall we had a great experience. The beer is great, staff is friendly, and outdoor seating is lovely.

    The service here is very quick considering the large crowds at comedy shows and concerts. I had the bean quesadilla with sweet potatoes, and it was delicious! I loved the diet RC Cola, also. I didn't try any alcohol, but my husband enjoyed the cider selection.

    I can't believe I haven't reviewed the Grey Eagle yet. Unless I'm getting tricked and this is my follow up review. Either way, always a five star for me. Ive loved this place for years. I do absolutely despise the parking situation especially when it gets busy. I don't have a solution and I wish I did. This last time we ended up walking like half a mile and paying for parking downtown. The night I went here, which was last night they were two shows happening, one on the patio, one inside. Dang! Way to monopolize the space. Everywhere around here seems to be getting super busy. I will say on the patio you couldn't hear anything inside and vice versa, so they do have it streamlined. I've been dying to try the food. It always looks so delicious and my friends give it rave reviews. They have a ton of vegetarian options. I think the drink prices are pretty fair for the area and they have a lot of diversity. This place is my favorite concert venue as of now. A total staple.

    Not sure what this is but this is what it looks like once I opened it.....possibly some kind of seed like thing

    There was no shortage of great customer service! The staff was very friendly. Now that we've go that part out of the way....let's get to the food.... $8 for a single "Carnitas" taco with oriole slaw, onion, and sauce......2 partially grilled corn tortillas....the Carnitas were absolute mush. What's worst is I found something I can't even identify that was extremely crunchy. $5 for black beans on top of rice in an 8oz cup filled 2/3 of the way up. Daughter's chicken taco had an incredibly long black hair in it that we discovered halfway through our meal. I am all about keeping it local and supporting our community but the prices coupled with the issues we experienced proved to be too much for me to remain silent about. Sorry guys. We won't be back.

    It seems all I hear about when it comes to tacos is stuff about "your mama"....a "duck"...and some "boy in west Asheville ", but the Grey Eagle is a true gem that gives you A LOT more food at better prices...and in this day and age in this town...we locals need a price break and deal for our work lunches...look no further than this place....great food...great prices....and funky...just like my hometown of Asheville

    Asked for no beans and no onions... low and behold... there they are

    Over 20 minutes for a sale that cost $27 they made incorrectly.... Truly astounding... If you can go somewhere else, do it

    Left: Apple-A-Chian chicken taco, my fave! Right: Carnitas

    This hipster, dive bar vibe restaurant serves up some legit tacos and burritos. While most concert venues offer your typical average bar food, Grey Eagle is a taqueria destination in its own right. Their tacos are fresh with a generous portion of meat, packed with flavor and that perfect bit of street taco char. Service is friendly and prompt. My fave is the specialty chicken taco - the Apple - A- Chia, the mix of sweet, savory and crunch is irresistible.

    We couldn't even wait. Sorry. ‍

    Ordered the nachos with beef brisket. There was as much fat as there was actual meat on the nachos. I would not recommend the brisket.

    Got a $7 black bean and sweet potato taco. It was tiny, the potatoes were burnt and it was barely seasoned. Eat before you come here.

    Imposter Mexican food. Tomato sauce salsa had no flavor. Sour staff disposition. Music was the redeeming quality.

The space is very nicely designed and laid out. Plenty of room in a cozy environment. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, on top of being very effective. I was extremely pleased to find that they even had a few different vegetarian proteins for their various dishes. In terms of the food, I went with a burrito bowl with vegan chorizo. The presentation was fantastic: my photo doesn't do it justice. It was also enormous. Much more food than I could finish, but also delicious. There were so many layers of flavors and textures that really came together in a cohesive dish. The best part is that they offer three different house made salsas, which really leveled up the dish and the experience. I would absolutely recommend checking this place out. The very hip, somewhat low key vibe was comfortable while also feeling high end well designed.

The service was great and the ambience seems like it would be fun on a Friday or Saturday night.

We found Hulu Sue's and there was a parking spot right in front so we decided to come in for lunch. The ambiance was friendly and inviting. Although it was really busy, we were immediately seated at the last indoor table. We ordered the Poke bowl and the combination bowl and a spam appetizer. The started was simple and delicious. I was never on the spam bandwagon, but this simple preparation was fantastic. The poke bowl was delicious. It was a little heavy on the mayo, but all the components were great. I loved the macaroni salad. It was the reason I wanted to come in and I was happy! I sampled some shrimp and chicken from my guy's dish and they were both great-well seasoned and well prepared. I wasn't a fan of the pork, it felt on the dry side. We also noticed that NC likes their sauces. I mean, I like sauces, but I never expect 4-6 options on the table. We tried a little of each and the curry based option and the mustard were my favorites! This is a great find. I didn't realize that small towns still close up shop early on Sundays. So unfortunately we didn't get to spend a lot of time exploring. Nonetheless, this was a great place to stop into.
