9 Best New Restaurants in Asheville Right Now | Eater Carolinas

"Luis Martinez, one of Asheville’s most popular and peripatetic chefs, had barely opened his feverishly anticipated Taqueria Rosita inside the Odd when Helene shut Asheville down. The fervid following he built over several years through pop-ups and special events lined up for the Oaxacan dishes using heirloom products from Indigenous populations in Mexico, Central, and South America. Overall, it’s all about the corn — tlayudas, a 15-inch corn tortilla spread with a black bean puree, tomatoes, avocado mousse, and meat or nixtamalized carrots; memela, a six-inch corn tortilla, cooked on a griddle with a bit of lard, spread with a chicharron paste called aciento, black bean paste, tomato salsa, and queso fresco; and a trio of tacos braised beef, vegetarian, or chicharron were on the first menu, served three days a week. Martinez reopened in November and has added a hearty, deeply flavored pozole and quesabirrias. Now serving five days a week, Thursday through Monday." - Kay West

Hidden gem inside of Odds. Amazing, authentic Oaxaca food. 100% house made tortillas and sauces.

If you want real deal Oaxacan fare, come to Taqueria Rosita (located at The Odd) in West AVL. Delicious food, good sized portions, and chill neighborhood vibe. Please come support a locally owned & operated business - dine in & takeout available. They are open Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 5p-10p.

Absolutely amazing food experience that provides a journey into Oaxacan culture through its menu and to your taste buds. You can taste chef Luis' (and team) appreciation for Oaxaca and their desire to share such amazing flavors. I cannot explain how flavorful the tlayudas and taco base is. It is smokey and transcendent. The portions and prices are an uneven ratio in your favor. The nixtamalized carrots will make you forget that you ever needed meat to enhance a meal. Try everything out!

Every dish is on corn tortillas made of corn that Luís and his team have important from heirloom farmers, nixtamalized, and crafted into the most flavorful starting place I can imagine. That just one example of the quality you can expect. Also, GREAT veggie options.

Delicious! Loved the honcho quesadilla, the zanahoria taco, and the massive tlayudas (15-inch tortilla)

The restaurant was a little hard to find as the signage from the main road is hard to read but worth the minor scavenger hunt. Tacos were amazing, great portions and the hot sauce is on point.

The layers of flavor in their food are unbelievable. Every dish is stuffed to overflowing with smoky spreads, nutty sauces, bright pickles, complex salsas, and about double the filling that you’d expect. My favorite dish is the carrot pipian taco with costra. I’m a meat eater and love their pork and beef tacos too, but it’s the pipian I think about all the time. My runner up dishes are the hongo quesadilla and the tostada moreliana. The biggest bang for your buck option is the tlayuda - it’s absolutely enormous and can easily feed two people. I only skip it because I’m not a fan of raw tomato slices.

What a great addition to West Asheville. A great spot if you are looking for authentic Mexican street food. The service was excellent, the tacos absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying a Tlayuda. The portion was bigger than I thought, great for sharing. Can’t wait to come back! One of the best tacos in the city 🙌 🌮
