    Chips & Queso
    Jessica F.

    The birria tacos were spot on, Highly recommend ordering them! The carnitas taco was ok. The chips and queso were not good. The queso doesn't have any flavor, it's more of a bland mac and cheese sauce with pico on the side. We dumped the pico in to add some flavor. It's in a great location with a nice dog friendly patio.

    I really loved checking this taco shop out with one of my best friend's for her birthday. We were in the Charlottesville area picking apples and needed to find a gluten-free friendly spot for her. We stumbled upon Brazos and were so happy we did. It's located near this really charming art park. I loved the complex. There were other local businesses in the area as well as ample parking spots. There was plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors. You order at the front and get a number to sit wherever. We both loved how there were tons of vegetarian options that sounded really good. I ordered the this is my yam and carnitas taco on corn tortilla. They were both really delicious. My friend loved her two tacos (she also got the yam one and a different one). I loved the coloring sheets and mugs filled with crayons near the front. There was also tons of natural lighting. The person at the cashier was really kind and helpful with the menu. When we were leaving, someone took our trays for us (even though it's a put your tray away type spot). I highly recommend checking out this spot for tasty tacos and great service.

    To all my fellow central Texans who miss TacoDeli - here is your cute. A perfect Texas breakfast taco spot in Cville. All the salsas are absolutely delicious. Laid back order at the counter, coloring pages for kids, and a huge outdoor deck. Service has always been slow when we go (waited 25 mins for our tacos last time when they weren't too busy) but we never mind the wait.

    Asked for no avacado. Still had them on there, so I paid for a wasted meal to throw in the trash.

    Our first visit to this restaurant -- for a late lunch on a Wednesday in Dec around 2 pm. We were greeted and seated quickly by the hostess. The restaurant was quiet, with patrons at only two or three other tables. We noticed that they also had a nice fenced-in outdoor seating area but it was closed given the cold temperatures. Most of the menu was Mexican street-style tacos with interesting choices for fillings, served on your choice of a small (6"? diameter) tortilla (corn, flour, or in a cup). The menu suggested ordering 3 tacos if you're hungry; the waitress said many choose two tacos for lunch or three for dinner. We each ordered two tacos. My husband preferred his choice from the vegetarian menu -- This Is My Yam ($4.00, his rating 5/5). This featured crisped yams with black beans, avocado, queso fresco, and roasted pepitas. He also got a Carnitas taco ($4.25, 3/5), with slow-roasted pork shoulder, avocado, pickled red onion, cilantro, and lime. He would've preferred shredded pork to the chunks served in the taco, and less pickled red onion. My preferred taco was my Guisada ($4.75, rating 4/5), which featured slow-roasted brisket, diced onion, pickled jalapeño, and queso fresco. My second choice was the vegan The Woody ($4.20, 3/5), which had black beans, mushrooms in salsa bruja, roasted corn pico, and avocado. While I like all of the individual ingredients, it seemed to be missing something when put together. The restaurant also offered four salsas (two spicy) at a do-it-yourself counter. We took samples of all, but the tacos were flavorful enough without the added sauces. We would've liked if the tacos were served with an included side dish -- though a few options were offered on the menu, such as escabeche ($5), slaw ($4), or wood-grilled broccolini ($7). The restaurant also offers some interesting drinks including aqua frescas and margaritas that we didn't try, this time. One final note. Our waitress decided to sweep the floor under the tables near where we were sitting while we were still eating. This really killed the ambiance of the restaurant for us not to mention our concerns about sanitation. (0/5)!

    Food is great and quick service. Great atmosphere on their patio and dog friendly! Online ordering is solid process and pretty easy to interact with.

    Salsa fuego (6/10 spice level I'd say)

    Brazos (IX Park) is great! Clearly marked vegan options (several), fantastic chips and guac, and quick service. When the weather's nice, it's a great spot to sit outside. Close to downtown (walkable).

    The place has a decent atmosphere and ingredients seemed to be fresh. But the food was a mediocre at best. The pork belly had flavor but was dry. Carnitas was just not good--chunk of pork appeared to be slowcooked in under seasoned water... guac and queso lacked something I can't grasp what. Also the place is way overpriced.

    Amazing tacos

    When visiting friends in Charlottesville recently, I asked them to take me to a place with good tacos. And they delivered. I loved the food here! If you eat meat, I highly suggest trying the brisket tacos. But I also really liked the veggie options. Sit outside if you can snag a spot, their patio is really cute and it overlooks a nice park.

    Tacos were unique and delicious. Staff was nice. Lots of people were dining outside. We sat inside and it was clean.

    Birria tacos
    Tasha R.

    Came on two different occasions to try the different tacos. Tacos are ok not our favorite we did not like the tacos with potatoes since they were mashed. We did like the birria tacos and the meat was good in each just didn't like how mushy some of them were. A nice place to meet friends to enjoy a meal and some drinks.

    Food took a long time to arrive. Food was cold. Brisket burger is gross. Avoid. The waitress was great though.

    AMBIANCE We rolled in on a late evening hoping to feed our…read moreMexican cravings and stay toasty. Gives the rave review of how underrated this spot was, we decided to give it a go. It's a small spot on the side of High Street that's probably easily missed. Gratefully had parking spots right outside and when we walked it, we were immediately greeted. We took a few minutes to scan the large menu on the board and the more comprehensive one on the counter. We ordered the quesadillas, fajitas, and pixie and were cautioned that that would be an enormous portion (very much appreciated the honesty on that one and was true). We ordered it anyway since that's what we were craving! It's a small spot with 3 booths and a few smaller table areas. SERVICE Quick service spot where you order at the counter, find seating, and 10 minutes or so later your food is made in the kitchen and can be picked up at the pick-up counter a few steps away. We picked up our quesadillas and fajitas from the counter, and our pozole with pork was brought over to us with tortillas, cilantro, and onions. FOOD Absolutely delicious and so worth the value! The quesadillas were chunky with chicken and pozole was hearty and well spiced. Loved every bite of the pork, cilantro, and hominy!!! Can't find this in a lot of spots and so glad they do it here. The beef fajitas were also well done with a solid portion of sautéed vegetables and 3-4 tortillas! OVERALL Absolutely agree that this spot is underrated and a gem....quick, no frills unassuming spot with friendly staff that never disappoints. Would 11/10 recommend if you want Mexican food. We've already got this spot pinned for Mexican in C'ville favorites and are looking forward to going for our third time to try out more options.

    Went to the new location and I have to say, I was really disappointed. The new place is GREAT…read more But the food was average at best. I ordered a pork tamale. It was flavorful but it was hard and the pork seemed old and dry. Maybe it was recycled or maybe they microwaved it to death. But I could not finish it. It was authentic but it was not what you would want to serve. I debated taking it back to the counter. I ordered two tacos. They are usually great. Today, nope. The Cabrito was okay today and the carnitas a little fatty. But the most disappointing thing is that they were not hot. Maybe they died in the window, but dead they were when they hit my table. The only thing saving the experience was the tostada...and the homemade tortillas on the tacos. All fresh. Even the signature sauce stand was different. The sauces today seemed very runny compared to how they usually present. I did get a fountain Pepsi and it was perfect. Overall, love the new spot and the decor. I will go back because i live their food. Assuming today was just an off day.
