" I have never tasted tacos like these before! Each bite was full of surprises, especially the Bangkok shrimp taco that paired sweet and savory so well. We dined outdoors, enjoying the view of the river, which added to the whole experience. The staff were efficient and knowledgeable about the toppings. The only downside was that it got a little crowded, and finding seating was a challenge. But once we settled in, the flavors made it all worthwhile. Definitely a place to recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this taco shop is the best one we've visited in Asheville! I was blown away by their creativity. The duck mole taco was unlike anything I've ever tasted, and my husband loved the Korean beef taco. We enjoyed the chips and dips while we waited, which added to the overall experience. The outdoor seating by the river was a cool bonus. Staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even better. Highly recommended for unique taco experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" White Duck Taco Shop lives up to the hype. The flavors in their tacos are excellent, with a wide array of options. I was particularly impressed by their vegan offerings! The jackfruit tacos were delightful and didn't make me miss the meat at all. When we visited, it was packed, but the line moved quickly. The location next to the river adds a special charm, making it a lovely spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Don't forget to try their margaritas! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family went to White Duck Taco on our recent trip to Asheville, and we loved it! The kids enjoyed an array of tacos that were creative and delicious. I was particularly fond of the creative take on the classic tacos we all know. We adored sitting outside. The service was great, despite the place hunting some crowds. It didn’t affect the experience. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited White Duck Taco Shop and let me tell you, it was an unforgettable experience! The variety of tacos was simply astounding. I tried the crispy pork belly taco and the unique Thai peanut chicken taco, both bursting with flavors. The atmosphere near the river was incredible, making it the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch. Service was attentive and friendly, and my food came out quicker than expected. For anyone looking for delicious and innovative tacos, this place is a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" White Duck Taco Shop is a great fusion taco place by the river! The atmosphere is great, but the long lines can be a bit off-putting at times. However, the service is quick, and we enjoyed our meal once we were seated. The flavors are out of this world, especially the lamb gyro and the keto taco options. Perfect for a summer's day! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this spot! The river view adds so much charm to the experience. We tried several tacos, including the buffalo chicken and the crispy pork belly. Both were outrageously good. The staff were attentive, and we didn't have to wait long even when they were busy. If you're in Asheville, you cannot miss the White Duck Taco Shop, it should be on everyone's list!
