They always get it right and I haven't found too many places to duplicate the quantity of food provided and the taste for that particular dish. I have not tried many other dishes here, but the service is decent. They do get a little busy, due to the lack of options in the area, so be conscious of that if you go during prime time (ie lunch or dinner).

Super clean place and value for price and quality. Go here instead of fried chicken festival!!!

I cannot believe I've never reviewed Tacos Gomez. I have eaten there at least 50 times in the past…read morefew years. No joke. I have had Carnitas tacos.... i have had the Al pastor tacos...I have had tortas... I have had alambre...I have had quesadillas.... I have used both the red and the green sauce. Let me say this...it is authentic...it is real...I have never had a bad meal. If I am hungry and want Mexican, I can't drive past this place. They have seating, so one can sit outside when it's warm. They take orders over the phone for pickup. They have beverages and they even sell fries. The tacos are simple...no cheese. No sour cream. Just onions and cilantro. The way they are meant to be. The tortillas are homemade. The quesadillas are like mini tacos, stuffed with your choice of proteins (or all veggies) plus cheese--grilled on the griddle. The torta is traditional and authentic. U can't go wrong. Love. Love. Love. Love. This. Place. And love the people that work there. The food is always fresh, tasty and oh so good!

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.

Brazos Tacos absolutely exceeded every expectation for my two best friends' birthday celebration…read more They accommodated a group of 30 people so seamlessly, which is no easy task, and made the entire night feel effortless, fun, and incredibly special. From the moment we arrived, the staff was beyond welcoming--so attentive, engaging, and genuinely kind. They didn't just serve us, they created an experience. They kept the energy up, made sure everything ran smoothly, and truly helped make the celebration unforgettable. And the margaritas... amazing. Easily some of the best we've had, and a huge hit with everyone in the group. Planning a large birthday celebration can be stressful, but Brazos Tacos made it feel easy and enjoyable. I'm so grateful for how special they made the night for my friends--could not recommend them more for both big celebrations and a great night out!

Parking is shared with local businesses so very convenient and walk able. If you've had tacos in…read moreTexas, you've had these tacos - just priced for downtown Charlottesville prices. A vegetarian would be happy here but maybe not a vegan. A person who only eats breakfast will be overjoyed to see eggs on the menu. They have an hibiscus drink you should try for variety's sake. I'd also get the hand pressed tortillas when on offer and free yourself from flour. Service is ordering at the pass and they drop off the food. Ambiance is medium to loud depending on the time of day. Give the patio a try then go for a walk around for a bit before getting back in the car. Also, the fan in the bathroom sounds like a death metal band at sound check.

Nevertheless, the chicken processing plant down the way, and the promise of work, has lured enough Hispanics to this whitebread haven, to support a shockingly brilliant, an entirely authentic, Mexican experience. The tacos were as legitimate as any you might find in Santa Ana or Los Angeles. Fresh ingredients, properly cooked. And at 4 for $10, you'd be a fool not to order as many of these as you can fit into your face. The local white folks are going to overlook this place; more fools them, because the food here is absolutely stand-out for the region surrounding.

I think I've tried all of them save the birria and maybe the cabeza. All are great. Pollo and carne asada are good the campechano, al pastor and lengua are the bomb. Get the corn tortillas with cilantro onion and some cheese. It's so good. Their quesadillas are also fine, I do carmelized onion with chicken and it's really good. They will give you some sauces and lime on the side. Overall when it's fresh these are the best tacos in cville for no frills just good authentic tacos. Yum!

I liked the radish on top of the taco and I liked the choice of salsa. My only complaint is the lime in the green sauce and guacamole. Lime should always, always, be served on the side. It's not appropriate in the food. It's always an add on in Mexican cooking. It's much too overpowering and ruins the flavor of the food. The food should stand on its own. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment!!

They have two vegetarian tacos, and I rather liked the more "real food" sweet potato and black bean than their tofu taco, but both were delicious. Upon seeing they had a seasonal special salsa; I was glad I took the option to order it as it was delectable and I liked it enough to haul what I didn't use back with me to save for another day. Their rice and beans have a vegetarian option, and given the option for various indulgences, I went for a semisweet chocolate cake, the sprinkles on which were unnecessary but fun. The salt level in something (or everything) was excessive, which had me gulping water. And it's a shame, because they could dial it back and this would still be some quality food.

The lot was clean, but unfortunately customers were smoking just outside the door. The dining room utilizes bar seating along the exterior walls. Plus it has a center table for large groups. They were busy with customers picking up and dining in. Things may look old, but I found the eating area clean. They also have a restroom that was also clean. The menu is simple. They offer six items. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tortas and quesabirrias. From their its build your own from different types of proteins, starch etc. Bottled beer, soda, water and other flavored items are offered. The older gentleman who may have been the owner was super helpful navigating the menu for a first timer. The prices fair. I ordered a bowl with pork, beans, rice, lettuce and tomatoes. A white sauce is applied unless you say not to. You can add other types such as avocado sauce and a spicy sauce. Also got a chicken cheese quesadillas. To drink a bottle water from the cooler. The food cranked out in 5 minutes and was brought to me. I was shocked how much food was in the bowl. It was so good, but the quesadillas my fave! Probably one of the best I've ever had. Everything seemed qualify. They are open until midnight and someone said they are also food truck. 4.5 rounding up and will return and recommend to others.
