Love the food, and eat here a couple times a month, but $13+ for a margarita is silly.

got the migas tacos and a build your own for breakfast. Eggs were overcooked, dry, unseasoned. Everything in the taco was bland and under seasoned, no textural contrast, everything was thrown in together into a scrambled egg mish mosh and placed on a store bought, slightly cold flour tortilla you could get at Aldis. Bacon was like small bacon pieces melded into the scramble which you could not taste. Place looked dirty if not slightly hip I'll give it an extra star for decor. Employees were not friendly.

I believe food prices in general have gotten out of hand. $4.85 for a 6" burrito with hardly anything on it is a little steep in my book. Don't go in hungry or you will pay more and eat more. I had two egg, bacon, and cheese burritos. They were exactly that. The green salsa did make it a little different. The salsa was good. I don't know when they are busy, but I can imagine parking being horrendous. There isn't much parking. The restaurant is in an old building and you can definitely smell the mustiness in the air. I don't have the best hearing and there was a lot of noise behind the cashier, but I could not hear a word the cashier said. Interesting that they would like you to provide a tip up front when you order, but then you sit down and there is a sign that says, "Please bus your table." What was my tip for?

Came in on a Tuesday afternoon around lunchtime. We were lucky enough to get a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. They do have overflow parking across the street. It's an order at the counter, and they bring it to you kinda place. Most tocos are around $6 each. I got 3. One was a breakfast toco loaded with eggs. The other to were good too. The chip,queso,and salsa were all good also. It's definitely worth giving this place a try.
Realized I have only left bad reviews for places and decided to change that up by leaving a positive for a place I love. Taco Billy is great. There Taco options are unique and tasty (less traditional taco, but still delicious). Lots of seating for small groups inside, and tons of out door seating when the weather is nice. It is counter service, which is not my favorite, but the staff are super friendly and accommodating. Special shout out for their margaritas. Not cheep, but well worth it.
i don’t normally ever go out of my way to write a review but my experience was so disappointing that i felt the need. i grew up in asheville and heard a lot about taco billy but had never been until yesterday, but i knew the reputation so i had high hopes. i’ll start with the positives: the cantaloupe agua fresca was really, really good. the queso was tasty, although a bit lukewarm. i thought the kirb service was tasty, but it was very much just a meat taco if you’re looking for variety of taste. now the negatives: the salsa? literally just blended tomatoes. so flavorless and boring that we didn’t eat more than a few bites, literally no spice and no flavor other than tomato. adding hot sauce couldn’t even save it. all of our tacos came on flour tortillas when several of them were supposed to be on corn tortillas? that isn’t a huge deal but come on, that’s pretty simple. my partner and i both had the san cris and they said that it mostly just tasted sweet, i didn’t try mine. after i had the kirb service, i took one bite of the lunch lady and had to stop myself from gagging. their mole tastes more similar to a child’s mud and dirt playground potion than a traditional mole, it was HORRIFICALLY disgusting. my appetite was gone after that. and all of this for $74. the other reviews mention “reasonable prices” but this isn’t at all “reasonable”! mamacita’s has better tacos for cheaper! honestly any taco truck in the WNC area has tastier tacos for half or even a quarter of the price. maybe if you’re having one singular breakfast taco it’s “reasonable.” but like $7 for a little cup of lukewarm queso and some chips is absurd. the price of the flavorless salsa was even worse, that was maybe worth a single quarter for such a bad salsa. anyone who believes this is cost effective is out of their mind. i don’t like taco boy, i think it’s also disappointing, but i’d recommend even taco boy over this place. overall i say save your money and eat elsewhere. my partner said their breakfast tacos were good in the past, i can’t speak to that because i haven’t had them, but if you’re gonna order anything here i’d save yourself some disappointment and order one of those.

Ordered corn tortilla with taco but received a flour tortilla (I’m gluten intolerant) —took my food to front and showed them that i received the wrong tortilla. They looked annoyed that I even mentioned it and told me that it was a corn tortilla. (They didn’t even look at tortilla)—I explained to them that my partner had flour tortilla and mine was identical to his, I even took a small bite and it was definitely flour. They continued to deny it was flour so I went and sat back down and took the contents of taco off tortilla and just ate with the chips I ordered. (Which were stale)Will not go back.

It's hard to beat Taco Billy for a hearty breakfast or lunch at a reasonable price. I like to visit whenever I'm in Asheville!
