After being devastated by last year’s storm, the resilient town of Hot Springs, North Carolina is rising again — and if there’s one delicious sign that life is returning to this mountain gem, it’s tacos! 🌮✨
We’ve spent a lot of time in Hot Springs over the past year — photographing weddings, shooting video, exploring the area, and most importantly, eating great food. One stop we can’t stop thinking about is Grey Eagle Taqueria — the Hot Springs outpost of a beloved Asheville taco institution.
The original Grey Eagle Taqueria got its start inside The Grey Eagle Music Hall in Asheville’s River Arts District, where it became known for serving up fresh, traditional‑style Latin‑American tacos and other flavorful dishes with gluten‑free, vegetarian, and vegan options alongside local brews and margaritas.
From there, the brand expanded, bringing its delicious offerings to Hot Springs inside Big Pillow Brewing — an ideal fit for a town known for scenic views, outdoor adventure, and community spirit.
🌮 A Celebration of Flavor & Recovery
At Grey Eagle Taqueria in Hot Springs, the tacos are so good they’re practically worth the road trip alone. Whether you’re craving crispy corn tacos, hearty burritos, fresh salads, or creative Latin‑inspired dishes, this spot delivers flavor with every bite — especially when paired with a local brew from Big Pillow!
Here’s what makes this place a standout:
- Authentic Latin‑American cuisine made with fresh, in‑house ingredients.
- Location with character — Hot Springs is a small mountain town reborn, and places like this are part of the comeback story.
- Great vibe and welcoming service — perfect after a hike, river float, or weekend getaway.
As we’ve watched Hot Springs bounce back — hotels, restaurants, shops, and trails reopening — Grey Eagle Taqueria stands out not just for its tacos, but as a symbol of renewal for this tight‑knit community.
