First time eating at the new Brazo’s. I ordered one each of the three vegan tacos and enjoyed them all. My only complaint is regarding the ordering. When you are seated they don’t tell you that you have to order online but expect you to find the sign on the napkin holder telling you this.

I’m surprised to read so many negative reviews. I had a lovely lunch here and I’m planning to return again soon. My only complaint is that the chips weren’t very good — tasted like they were out of a bag. The waitstaff was hustling — a bit rough around the edges but overall very nice and efficient.

The new location is up and running..no alcohol until mid-May ..very satisfying food. The lemon lime drink went well with the spicy tacos…3 hot sauces offered..the pickled jalapenos were just too hot for me! The pinto beans were delicious .highly recommended.

The latest Charlottesville Brazzos does not disappoint! Service was excellent, wonderful outdoor covered porch, food was delicious. I highly recommend the Quesabirilla combo dish and the whole shebang chips and dip! My daughter is a picky eater, yet she devoured her quesadilla without hesitation!

I ate at the original Brazos location a couple times after they first opened, but wasn’t super impressed. My husband and I tried the BR location for the first time last week and I was very pleasantly surprised! The tacos and queso were delicious, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to going back!

This is a really nice taco place. Newly opened at this location. Service was fast, and it was a very great night to sit outside. While everything was tasty, it was kind of expensive. You buy individual tacos that can be up to almost $5 each. I know prices on all ends of the supply chain these days are high; this high feels unusual.

Good brisket taco. Chips were also good, but only 10% less than a legal dose of salt /s.

Lynn Castle
I love the tacos here! There are many options, and not all are spicy. They provide three levels of salsas you can add to your tacos depending on how much heat you prefer.
