Chorizo

Add to list

What you need to know

Chorizo is a downtown Asheville fixture from longtime local chef and restaurateur Hector Diaz, serving modern Latin tapas and the bold, layered flavors of southern Spain and Latin America from a tucked-away suite inside 1 Page Ave. The menu is built around shareable plates — think roasted beets with winter citrus, braised lamb neck cavatelli, pan-seared scallops, and slow-braised beef short rib — executed with serious technique and a convivial spirit. The room is intimate and warm, the kind of place where the food keeps arriving and the conversation keeps going.

Local's Tip

Suite 139 is inside the 1 Page Ave building — look for the entrance off the lobby. Dinner Tue-Sat starting at 5pm; reservations recommended on weekends.

What the locals say

The tapas format is perfect for groups — order a bunch and keep going. Everything hits differently when you're sharing it.
