    We tried all six of the tacos on happy hour. They were all excellent, though I was partial to the vegetarian ones. The watermelon jalapeno margarita was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Nice outdoor atmosphere. Excited to return and try more!

    We had lunch. Just a few tacos, but they were delicious. My favourite was the Blackened Shrimps. It's definitely a place to visit in Charlottesville.

    The IX part location of Brazos is very fun and different from the Barracks Road spot — it’s set back among the park with trees and string lights, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, making for a fun ambience.

    Delicious!!! It feels like a taco place from Texas. They serve margaritas and have daily happy hour specials. There's indoor and outdoor seating so you can enjoy tacos even in bad weather.
