Really enjoyed my first meal at White Duck Tacos. The variety of flavors on the menu is wonderful, they really have options for everyone. And the location is really nice, to sit outside and eat by the river. Good quality meal, not too expensive and the food came out quick! Will definitely be returning to White Duck.

Cool, eclectic taco joint that serves margaritas and mixed drinks. Inside has a good size dining area with about 12, four top tables. The menu was quite extensive, so if it's your first time, it takes a while to absorb it. In fact, we let a few people go in front of us as we pondered the menu. The tacos were fantastic I had steak, barbacoa, and pork. Very tasty! We also ordered their house margarita which was extremely and we good. The outdoor seating area is huge. And the big plus is it sits right above the French Broad river.

Second time back to this location and I couldn’t have had a better time! Staff was super friendly and although there was a bit of a line, we moved through the line quickly and our food was ready even quicker. I loved the variety offered on the menu and I can’t wait to come back to make my way through all the options.

First time in, and it didn’t disappoint! There were four of us, and everyone loved their tacos. Two tacos was the perfect amount, and we also snacked a little on the chips and salsa before our order came out. We had already started eating the chips and salsa before I snapped the picture, so I apologize that it’s not a good representation of what you get when they bring it to the table. Both salsas were good, and I don’t remember what the sauce in the middle was. I had the steak and cheese and the kid’s chicken taco (the woman who took my order said there wasn’t an adult version, but that it was the same size as the others, so she gave it to me). Great food, great service, wonderful seating area in the back with an artistic wall to talk about! Would definitely recommend!

Delicious tacos and great atmosphere, eating outside by the river! Lots of vegan options too! Many of the tacos can be made vegan with jackfruit! The general Tsos (with jackfruit), buffalo jackfruit and tofu bahn mi did not disappoint! Be sure to leave off blue cheese sauce on the buffalo one if vegan.

Very unique taco options. We tried several and everything was delicious. Our favorites were the general tsos and the tuna Tokyo. The pickled watermelon rine on the pork belly taco was surprisingly good. Would def go back

Best tacos I've eaten. There was a huge line when we arrived, but worth the wait. The line went fairly fast and food was quick to be delivered too. There was a large parking lot, which was needed given how busy it was, but enough spaces to park. We had the mole duck, pork belly, fish, and gyro and don't have anything bad to say about any of them. The pork belly was delicious and was given good reviews for a reason. Glad they still had some when we went. Also loved it was dog friendly, including while waiting in line.

Came after a recommendation from a friend. So glad we did. The best fusion tacos we have ever had! Service was friendly and the staff recommendation of crispy pork belly taco was outstanding! Atmosphere is cool with indoor and outdoor seating. Glad we came a little early as the line was out the door when we left.
