Willy Taco Adding Another Location in the Upstate

Willy Taco, a popular Mexican fusion restaurant with locations in Greenville, Spartanburg and Boiling Springs, is expanding into Easley, South Carolina.

Willy Taco recently announced the expansion on social media saying, “Awesome news! You spoke and Willy listened. We’re headed to Easley. Fall 2021. Stay tuned.”

The upstate staple, which is run by Hub City Hospitality, is known for their out-of-the-box tacos. In addition to tacos, they also have quesadillas, burritos and salads. Willy Taco also offers inventive cocktails with over 80 tequila and mezcal options.

While there are currently no details on the exact opening date or location of the new restaurant, residents of Easley can expect to sink their teeth into a specialty taco (or five) in the fall.

Willy Taco currently has three other locations – in Spartanburg at 930 E. Main Street, in Boiling Springs at 1925 Boiling Springs Road and in Greenville at 217 Laurens Road.

Charleston Staple Set to Replace Longstanding Greenville Restaurant

Tommy’s Country Ham House, a Greenville mainstay that has been operating for over 30 years, is closing in the Spring of 2021. 

Earlier this year, the popular restaurant announced their decision to close their doors saying that owner Tommy Stevenson had made the difficult choice to retire. 

While the news of the restaurant’s closing came as a shock to patrons, the restaurant set to replace the longstanding favorite was just announced and it has people buzzing.

Lewis Barbecue, a Charleston staple, is set to take the place of Tommy’s Country Ham House in 2022 following some renovations to the space. Lewis Barbecue features traditional Texas style barbecue and is most famous for their mouth watering brisket.

John Lewis, owner of Lewis Barbecue, issued a statement on the upstate opening of his restaurant saying, “Since moving to South Carolina six years ago, I’ve been blown away by the way locals love food — especially barbecue. We’ve welcomed a lot of Greenville folks to our Charleston spot, and I can’t wait to set up shop there permanently and be a part of the city’s vibrant community.”
