Taco Billy Black Mountain — Restaurant in Black Mountain

I came in for lunch yesterday with my friends and ordered one taco. My friend ordered before me and asked for water, and the woman taking our order told us the water was self serve right next to the cash register. When I ordered, I tapped my card to pay and started to help myself to the water right next to me. As I did this, the cashier flipped the iPad and tipped herself on my card and signed for me. Mind you, I was one foot away from the register. She did not ask permission or ask me to sign for myself. I would’ve tipped regardless, but it really rubbed me the wrong way to have the employee take the liberty of giving herself a 20% tip without asking me. I realized she did this when I saw my card was charged higher than the total she told me. I went back up and asked for my receipt and she printed it out for me. She proceeded to tell me the extra charge was from me tipping her and that I must’ve not seen the button. I told her I didn’t press any buttons, and she just shrugged. I don’t want to get anyone in trouble, but if you eat here make sure you immediately finish out the transaction before getting water one foot away or else the employees will help themselves...

I tell you what! The four tacos we got were the best my fiancé and I have ever had. I will say that with confidence. Wowza!!

Don’t skip this joint if your travels permit it. I’d route it in if I’m ever in the area again. Worth it!

To the boss: if you’re reading this, I hope you stick to your commitment to quality ingredients. It made your product a standout. (And doesn’t make for an upset system later on....

Other than the tacos having healthy amounts of meat amd toppings, I did not care for some of the menu items - in particular the Lunch Lady taco and the frozen margaritas. Let's start with the taco. The meat was mushy and tasted burnt; the mole sauce was awful, and did not come close to how mole should taste. I took one bite and could not eat the rest. The other patrons in my group also tasted it and had the same reaction - awful tasting. Flavorless. And the frozen margaritas? They are a great price on the weekends and are over $7.00 on weekdays. For me, I could not taste any alcohol whatsoever, so that was another waste of my hard-earned money. I will not return and am struggling to understand how this place has an overall...
