    White Duck Taco is always a must when we're in Johnson City! We love the vibe, everything is always fresh, and even when there's a line to the door the service moves quickly. In the warm weather we love sitting on the patio to eat and when it's chilly there's plenty of room inside as it's attached to a brewery. The chips and salsa trio is a delicious appetizer and they make all salsas in house! It's hard to pick a favorite taco, so we try to mix it up every visit. You really can't go wrong with any of them!

    Went back to White Duck in Johnson City while in town for a work trip. The staff were very helpful, willing to check when they didn't know the answer to my questions. As usual, a great place to go gluten free! Be careful and ask if you are celiac/allergic to wheat, though, as cross contamination is possible especially in the fryer! The tacos were pretty good. Not as incredible as last time. Tikka Masala is still the best imho. All in all, a great place to eat lunch on a hot day!

    Absolutely incredible tacos! - chicken tikka masala is spicy and delicious - lamb gyro was everything I want in a gyro and more - Bangkok shrimp was a perfect balance of flavor and texture - my husband at the pork belly two days in a row if that says anything - quesadilla was a hit with my son, as was the pretzel and beer cheese Atmosphere was fantastic as well! Both times we've gone this week (we wanted to try more!), there's been music and a lively atmosphere, without being overwhelming at all. My 2yo had a blast!

    TL;DR: Highly recommended. Non-traditional take on tacos. Located next to Yee-haw brewery! ***Ambiance*** The space is nice and clean with 7-10 tables. It has a rustic feeling that adds to the overall atmosphere, especially with the wooden tables. Being attached to the Yee-haw brewery allows you to enjoy an excellent beer with your meal. ***Staff*** The staff was friendly and welcoming. You seat yourself at an available table and order food at the counter. They will bring the food to you. ***Drinks*** Since they share the dining hall with the Yee-haw brewery, I didn't check out their beer listing. They do offer margaritas, both regular and special (top-shelf) varieties. My table mates ordered the top-shelf margarita assuming the regular one had essentially no alcohol. Turned out that we were completely wrong. It was the top-shelf that had nonexistence amount of alcohol in it. Just a sweet mix with a placebo-level of tequila. I would recommend trying the beers at Yee-haw instead (Yee-haw is reviewed separately). ***Food*** We ordered two rounds of tacos and each one was very good. The first round was exploratory, while the second round consisted of our favorite picks. These tacos are not traditional, but they are delicious. Out of the eight different tacos I tried, there is not a single one that I wouldn't order again. My personal favorite was the shrimp diablo. ***Overall*** It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it for food. For the purist, these are not traditional tacos by any stretch of the imagination. I think that the menu items are called tacos because that it is the closest food item they resemble. The proximity to Yee-haw brewery is a bonus. I will come back for sure.

    Came for the beer, stayed for the tacos. Situated in a beautiful part of Johnson City, this spot really has it all - I'm talking bar stools, comfy couches, outdoor space, fire pits, and Skee-Ball (thought it was regrettably out of order during my visit). My only qualm was the weird parking lot entrance and the odd shape of the parking lot itself; it wasn't entirely intuitive. White Duck Taco Shop is out here making dreams come true. If you want it, they got it (and more!) Serving up affordable tacos with flavors from around the globe. The service is quick, kind, and ordering is easy, ala carte at the counter style. Each taco comes with two tortillas, which you can split into two smaller tacos, or use as extra support for ONE GIANT SUPER TACO (my method) Great flavors, good quality, amazing value and flavor - all around praise for White Duck.

    Love that it's attached to a brewery that happens to have plenty of fire and heaters outside. We grabbed two tacos and they absolutely met my White Duck Taco expectations. I just love their tacos. Super yummy, they were very quickly out to us, and I would have gladly had more if we didn't have dinner reservations in a few hours. Great space to also watch football in the brewery.

    Tacos!!

    I love their collection of tacos. The have different flavors and seasoned appropriately. If the weather permits, they have a beautiful sit out and the Yee-Haw Brewing next door to grab you're beer. Must visit place in Johnson city area

    Excellent service! Tacos were tasty! Plenty of options and variety for all of our group. Love the dog friendly Dinning area. Stopped by for lunch and a few beers. Brew selection was pretty nice too! We'll be back next time we're in town.

    The General Tso's and Pork Belly are out of this world! Also recommend getting a pretzel and/or chips and queso.

    We will not be back to this place.... My bf ordered beef…read morenachos and a order of cheese sauce with chips. I ordered a burrito with shrimp, octopus, a whole poblano, avocado, shredded cheese all inside the burrito. I also asked for a lot of limes on the side. They came out after we took our order to go so he could check on it because he asked me numerous times about the cheese I wanted. I had said I do not want anything on top of my burrito and hate the liquid cheese. The person who made my burrito used the liquid cheese, similar to nacho cheese consistency on top. No shredded cheese inside. So they didn't give my bf his cheese sauce he paid for. My burrito was nasty. They didn't put a whole poblano, the first half of the burrito had a few small pieces of poblano, barely any octopus, no shredded cheese inside, they didn't give me any limes. I HATE this crap cheese sauce that "mexican" food places use in Tennessee. Legit Mexican food places don't use this fake liquid cheese. My bf said his nachos were good. Problem is.. I was on the toilet all night because of this cheese. I say this because it was the same cheese they put on his nachos and... he was sick to his stomach for the rest of the night and then he had his turn on the toilet.

    As we wend our way to Florida, we spend the night in Bristol for one main reason. This restaurant!…read more (The Hilton Garden Inn hits all the marks too, but as I have nothing to add I'm not updating that review.) My husband ordered five enchiladas each with a different stuffing. While delicious, unless you haven't eaten since last Thursday, who can consume so many enchiladas?! I shouldn't talk. The house special quesadilla -- always excellent -- is a lot of food. Ever resourceful, I took half back, put the chicken and peppers on a bagel and ate it for breakfast! (Note to self AND my husband: next time let's split one and maybe forego the steak and chicken. Chorizo and shrimp?!) Moving on, the salsa bar is great with smooth, chunky, mild and spicy salsas. That's not counting the warm bean spread brought to the table with their thin and crisp chips. Our margaritas -- $6 each -- are not only good but pretty, topped with berries and a flower. Here it is, Monday night -- not a typical going-out day of the week -- and the place is busy with locals. Pretty good testimony to what's become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants.

    *KEEP IN MIND IM NOT FROM IN TOWN.*…read more We started with the house margaritas and the at-your-table guac, which was such a fun touch. The guac was super fresh and flavorful, and having it made right there just made the whole experience feel a little more special. The margaritas were strong (in a good way) and perfectly balanced--not too sweet. For the main, I got the deluxe burrito combo and it did not disappoint. Huge portions, packed with flavor, and everything tasted fresh. You can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients. Service was great, the vibe was lively, and overall it just felt like a solid go-to spot for good Mexican food and drinks. Definitely coming back.

    First time visiting Poblanos and I'll definitely be back. After only finding mediocre Mexican food…read morein the area, I was on a hunt. The ambiance and decor are nice inside. For a unique spin, you're served a bean dip with the chips after being seated. The dip had a great flavor. I missed having salsa however and it wasn't until I asked that I learned there's a salsa bar next to the host stand. There they have both traditional red salsa and salsa verde. I preferred the salsa verde and the red was pretty thin. I ordered a hibiscus margarita to drink. They don't give you the margarita menu unless asked, but have a pretty good list. I didn't know at the time of ordering there's an up charge of $1.50 for a flavored margarita. I likely would have ordered it anyway, but would have been nice to know. For my entree, I did a combination of 2 with the enchilada suiza and burrito. Both were very good and I'd order them again. You also pick 2 sides. I went with the black beans as my bean choice. Nothing wrong with them, just ok in flavor and after also having bean dip, I didn't really eat them. I'm used to traditional Mexican rice but saw they had cotija Mashed potatoes. I'm a fan of contija cheese so wanted to try them, even though the server didn't really seem too impressed when I asked her about them. They were actually very good. A different option at a Mexican restaurant that I enjoyed. All in all, I would definitely recommend and return in the future
