"A Lowcountry-based taqueria that started on Folly Beach in 2006 will open an Asheville outpost at 521 Haywood Road in West Asheville, taking over the former Zia Taqueria space. Founded by Karalee Nielsen Fallert, the spot became a local favorite for its margaritas, queso and lively, fun atmosphere. The Asheville menu will mirror the original offerings, featuring a wide range of tacos — from Baja fish to kimchi beef — with corn tortillas made in-house, plus a new beverage menu developed by local mixologist Maty Hollingsworth. The restaurant will serve daily lunch and dinner with weekend brunch, and a second Asheville location is already planned for Biltmore Park next summer." - Erin Perkins
