" I had high expectations going into White Duck, and I was not disappointed! The fusion tacos give a refreshing twist to traditional flavors. The black bean taco was delightful, full of flavor without being too heavy. My friend had the buffalo chicken taco, which she said was incredible. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we loved dining outside right by the river. It was busy, but the staff handled the crowd like pros. I would definitely return to try more of their unique offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe at White Duck is super chill, and I love grabbing a handful of tacos for my family. It’s a great spot for a meal after an adventurous day out in Asheville. The staff is friendly and welcoming! I recommend sharing several varieties so you can try more options. The duck mole taco was the highlight of our visit. Would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed my meal at White Duck, I think they could enhance the authenticity of their flavors. The tacos I sampled were tasty, but they seemed more fusion than genuine Mexican. I had the tuna and fish tacos, and while they were enjoyable, they missed that traditional taco vibe. The outdoor seating was nice, and the service was friendly; they really know how to take care of their customers. Overall, worth visiting for the experience but temper your expectations on authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently revisited White Duck and it was just as amazing as I remembered! This time, I tried the duck mole taco and it was a flavorful delight. The portions are satisfying, and they have an excellent variety. The outdoor seating gives such a great vibe, especially with the river view. Service was solid and our food came out promptly. It was busy upon arrival, but the line moved quickly. We’ll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" White Duck is a cool taco shop! My husband and I enjoyed a peaceful lunch by the river surrounded by nature. The duck tacos were highly recommended, and now I know why! It’s very casual, and if you’re looking for a great meal with a lovely view, go here. The rustic vibe matched perfectly with our meal. " (*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!
