Taqueria Muñoz in Asheville

Food is good...burrito, quesadilla...tamales are okay but there's better in the area. Wish the birria wasn't weekends only.

Authentic

This is actually the best restaurant in Asheville. Here's why: The food: My partner and I moved here from San Francisco. We ate La Taqueria burritos once a week, on average. We were worried in moving to Asheville we wouldn't find a suitable replacement. We were wrong. Taqueria Munoz is really, really good. Our go to was the cabeza burrito without rice. The lingua and pollo are also good. Personally, I'd skip the steak. I'm not going to put it up there with some of the other famous Mission spots, but these are not disappointing. I also really loved the birria they serve on weekends. The vibe: It's not a place you're going to want to go for a date or anything other than a casual sit-down. That said, there's this certain sort of magic in the air here. Everyone always seems super happy - staff and customers alike. I've never been able to put my finger on it (it's probably just the food), but suffice it to say I have a lot of affection for everyone every time I walk in. Also, to correct a point from a previous review: You don't need to know Spanish to place or get your order. The price: This is the key third component. Asheville has a ton of great restaurants. But price wise it always feels like you're paying big city prices for 'Wow that was better than expected...
