Taqueria Munoz · Woodfin
WNC Magazine's chefs' favorites feature places this one next to a Latin market on a strip mall lined stretch of Patton Avenue in West Asheville, and says the unassuming exterior belies the real deal flavors inside. The same feature records that Asheville chefs name it among the places they go to eat cheaply. It is family owned and started life on Haywood Road. Order tacos at the counter and look in on the market next door while you wait.
Mountain Madre Mexican Kitchen & Agave Bar North AVL · Downtown
Tacos, an agave bar, and big festive plates downtown.
