This was our first visit to Willy Taco, and as the name suggests, tacos are the main attraction. My wife and I both decided on the 2-taco meal that includes a selection of any two tacos with sides of black beans and rice. We also ordered an appetizer of crispy brussel sprouts that were excellent. The tacos we ordered were the day's special with a Korean preparation and a menu staple, Patagonia. (Photo below shows both, but I started in on the Korean taco before taking a picture!) My wife particularly enjoyed the rice and beans sides. Service was prompt and attentive. A good dining option for those who seek Hispanic dishes with a twist.

I’ve been craving tacos so I’m glad we decided to stop here before our brewery hop visits! It was around 1:30pm on a Sunday when we stopped in. Seems like plenty of parking in the lot. We had to wait just a few minutes to get seated which wasn’t an issue, it was quick enough. The service was very quick and friendly and we inspired our server to use the local passport to visit nearby breweries. The interior is eclectic with bright, colorful paintings and other seemingly random decor lol. I kept to the tacos for this visit but there are some other options like quesadillas and bowls to try. I also didn’t opt in for drinks since a brewery visit is next. We ordered the shrimp taco, and cauliflower and avocado taco as vegan options which just needed some minor adjustments to make vegan. There were also substitution options for vegan meat and the server was very knowledgeable about vegan options, so we appreciated that. They were all very tasty and we cleaned our plates quickly! The only reason for a 4 star would just be the amount of choices but I would really only take off a half star if I could since the restaurant name says it’s all about tacos and maybe just having a few other options is a bonus. A nice shoutout to the team for giving encouragement to save paper by using the hand dryer in the restroom. Thank you for caring for the environment!

Cool atmosphere and delicious food. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, Baja fish taco, and chilly willy shrimp taco. Everything was really good. The chilly willy had a sauce that was spicy and sweet. It was yummy. Our waitress was really nice had good conversation with us. The jalapeño margarita was really interesting. Loves the cherry limeade it was really good.

Great tacos, every one we tried was excellent. The queso was a little so-so but the chips that came with it were cooked and seasoned very well. Shrimp tacos, spicy chicken tacos and an amazing cauliflower taco, they were all very good. But the best of the best was the fish taco. The breading was light and it was fried to crispy perfection. It made me wish that they had fish and chips on the menu. As a side we had the brussel sprouts and though I have had better they were still very well done.

At the Eastside Spartanburg location everyone - customers & staff - are required to wear a mask. Also I was there for a late lunch, so not a lot of people. But they appear to be distancing the tables.

Why are y'all not open on Mondays but the rest of the week? Open on Mondays pls!

They are not open because they have to prepare for the week a head. Come on give them a day off.

Does anyone know if the avocado taco can be made vegan? I assume it can’t due to the tempura batter. I think it has egg in it but I figured I’d ask. They still have food I can eat as a vegan, but damn I miss that taco.

The crispy avocado can absolutely be made vegan for anyone asking. Just tell your server to have the avocado raw and to take off the Willy's house crema - can even be gluten free by asking for a corn tortilla or a lettuce wrap instead of the standard flour tortilla. In fact we have can modify any taco (and most menu items) to fit specific diets or allergies! 👍👍

Is there a kids menu available? If so, what are the options? I don’t see one on the website.

We just ate there last week and there was not a kids menu. We just ordered a salmon taco for our 7 year old and made it plain so he could just eat the meat. Just had to find what works.
