Best Asheville Cheap Eats

Budget travelers and locals can eat well in Asheville without spending much, and this guide rounds up tacos, biscuits, sandwiches and a food hall. Picks cluster downtown and in West Asheville, with Centreville Luncheonette out on Weaverville Road. Taco Billy in West Asheville does breakfast tacos, including the migas and the vegan, gluten-free Support Group taco. Downtown, Mamacita's makes handmade tortillas for its birria tacos and the Veggie Mama burrito with sweet potato and kale. S&W Market fills the 1929 S&W Cafeteria building with stalls like Buxton Chicken Palace and Farm Dogs, which helps when a group cannot agree on one cuisine. Biscuit Head builds plates around a big gravy menu.

Expect a wait at Biscuit Head's weekend brunch, and go to Centreville for lunch.
