After the local initial rush of this new restaurant, we finally had a business dinner here. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is definitely a step up from the previous establishment. Looks very nice inside and has unique design features. We were seated right when we walked in. Our server arrived with our menus and took our drink orders. Just waters with lemon. When she returned with our waters we ordered chicken and steak ACP and the grilled fish tacos. While we were waiting some very colorful chips were delivered to our table with a small serving of salsa. While we were waiting for our food, there was a birthday group and all the servers sing happy birthday with loud music. It's great to see restaurants that still do this. When I plates arrived, they were presented well and looked well prepared. Wife really enjoyed her tacos as she said there was plenty of fish in each taco and there was a variety of vegetables and some pineapple on top. My ACP had the Spanish rice on the side of the chicken, steak, and cheese. Looked amazing! It also tasted amazing. ACP is my go to if I don't feel like having tacos or enchiladas. Our server was great. She was very attentive throughout our entire dining experience. Overall we agreed we had a great dining experience and will definitely return here. Recommend giving them a try. read more

Really nice interior is upscale and almost like a night club. The service was slow even though the place was half empty and there were tons of employees standing around talking. Our waitresss was a bit testy with our questions instead of helping us. The amount of meat in my tacos was filling and generous but not very good, I'd even say it was over cooked. They are way too proud of their sides. Where most Mexican restaurants come with both rice and beans here you have to pick one or the other. I had the beans my wife had the rice and frankly, the beans were rather ordinary. My wife took one bite of the Spanish rice and left the rest. Everything was extra mild, salsa tasted liked canned tomato and had very little flavor and no spice, I could not even call it mild. There is no ordering Ala cart, so if you want one kind o taco along with your other entre you can forget it. Any variation was shot down and I was not allowed to add any single items to my order like an extra taco. I can only say this is stupid and really bad business. I doubt we will come back, a really pretty room doesn't make up for the really over priced food and the cheapskate nature of the rice beans or add-ons. Even my soda which was filled to the max with ice so about half a can of soda was chincy and I had to ask for a refill with less ice which earned me an eye roll from the waitress. read more

I picked up food from this place last night. I am giving my honest review on their food, staff very pleasant and welcoming. Authenticity of the food is -0 Meat was very fatty Rice had so much garlic couldn't eat it. Beans look like they were blended in a blender and tasteless. The only thing good about this order was the guacamole. For what I paid it's not worth the money at all. And to say in commercial prior to grand opening "we serve Authentic Mexican food" is an understatement to say the least read more

Yes absolutely I recommend!! I came in for lunch and I swear I was just getting a salad but the fajitas just sounded good!! Seated in the bar it's gorgeous! A double sided bar one on the outside with a roll up window!! It's only noon so I skipped drinks but will be back for those!! Service is amazing and I didn't expect any less because el cerro also staffs amazingly! (Same owner) Isabel is a great bartender and server!!! No wait time for lunch it's pretty good size in here! Outside seating. The desserts omg! Mango mousse 110% try it! read more

It was ladies night out tonight and we want to support a local restaurant. The service was less than great our server forgot multiple dishes for people who had ordered food. It took over an hour for our basic drinks to be brought to the table. The food made it to the table prior to our drinks being served. The ladies who ordered bar drinks were served right away after we asked to speak to management about the service for our larger party, we were given an answer that really didn't satisfy the service. The food was flavorless and the birria tacos were not crunchy. The beans were decent. I think that was the best part of the meal. The band that played was entertaining however, for a Mexican restaurant, it was definitely not the vibe, but the band was great. Due to the quality of service, I will not be back. Save your time and money, go somewhere else for Mexican food. read more

Brassa Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

After a fun filled morning & afternoon of teaching our Wildflowers Jeep Club ladies how to geocache, bestie & felt hanger pains setting in. We had both seen the post about the trio of enchiladas and despite the parking lot slammed with cars, we found the inside with plenty of available seating. Even though I pretty much knew I would be ordering the flag enchiladas, I changed my mind at least 6 times before Noah showed up to take our order. First at hand though was a cocktail, because ya know, Jeep'n Richlands geocaching can really drain a girl so much so that only a Bubble Tini can rejuvenate her. I went with the Blackberry with Noah advising me to be camera ready as it would be an experience best enjoyed on a loop. And he was right!! That tini was magical, smokey and worth every cent of that $14 smackers. I mean, when I blew on the dome I inhaled the smoke & giggled like a school girl at a boy band concert when it came right back out in a cloud of what I can only liken to opening Snoop's car door after a long hit on a Cheech & Chong fat blunt (showing my age here). If you are so inclined, do NOT pass up the experience. I told bestie I planned on coming back until I have tried all the tini flavors (except lavendar) because that drink was one of THE most exciting cocktails ever. EVER y'all. Now, while my enchiladas were delicious, they did not compare to that bubble tini. First thing I found on my plate was cilantro. That is an ingredient that was NOT listed in the entree description. What if I had an allergy? I didn't even notice it and very well could have swallowed it without realizing it. Thankfully bestie, who also hates it, noticed it before I took my 1st bite. That is something that should be noted somewhere on the menu. I gave bestie my Birria 'lada and for the most part, I enjoyed my meal. There were a few misses as far as I was concerned with them being, parts of the rice were crunchy. Not crispy but uncoocked crunchy. That was a disappointment. I left the majority of it on my plate. The cheese & chicken were delicious and full, both of chicken & cheese in their respective enchiladas. Another issue was I had requested sour cream OTS that did not arrive with our meal, so I had to wait for our server to grab it before I could dig in. All in all, a pleasant meal with my bestie in an atmosphere that made me feel like I was on a date and not hanging with my bestie. I took hubby home the Brisket Quesadilla and when I brought it into the house I almost ate his meal too! We had 3 entrees & my delectable bubble tini all for $63 bucks! For the amount of food we recieved & the best restaurant cocktail I have ever enjoyed, I thought that was a STEAL! We will be back but next time I'll drive so bestie can enjoy her own bubble tini. Did I tell you how much I enjoyed the tini experience? Y'all, get in there and grab one. You won't regret it. Even with the misses, we'll be back in a week and I have already decided to try the mango tini next. read more

Beautiful, new vibe-y spot in Jacksonville. Food was great and flavorful. Service (Victoria) was awesome. Very sweet! Pricing is very fair.

After seeing the Facebook reel showing the Viva Mexico Enchiladas and the Bubble-tini, bestie and I knew it was time to give Brassa Tacos and Taps a try. We were not disappointed!! Looking at the busy parking lot we were a little concerned that there would be no availability but there was plenty of available seating inside and out. This place is perfect for a date night or just a fun night out with friends! Between the decor and murals we felt like we were in a fun, welcoming, funky space that was perfect for a bestie lunch. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The Bubble-tini was even more fun in person, and the blackberry flavor was on point and the bubble popping when my bestie took a sip was just the best. Chips and salsa, yumminess of course. Viva Mexico Enchiladas: cheesy goodness, juicy pulled chicken, and oh that birria is what my dreams are made of! Guacamole salad was well seasoned and very fresh. My only issues were the rice was a bit crunchy like some of the rice didn't cook through and the hot salsa on one of my enchiladas was hotter than this poor mama could handle lol. Green salsa on the birria enchilada was definitely my absolute favorite! We will be back to try other items and some more bubble-tinis!! read more

Was a very pleasant experience. Was greeted by our waiter almost immediately in the drinks were at the table in no time. We got regular soft drinks and an alcoholic drink and the alcoholic drink was a little bit pricey being at $16 for a large margarita, but it was very strong and worth it. We got the chorizo queso dip that was extremely good and flavorful and would recommend. I ended up getting the 910 burrito and my wife got the California burrito. Both burritos were excellent and very full of taste. My burrito had grilled shrimp steak and chicken none of which were dry or overcooked. It was smothered the only wish I have is that it would be more smothered than glazed, but I asked for extra sauce and they happily brought it so that made it perfect. The kids enjoyed their meals as well. Juan got the cheeseburger and the other one the chicken tenders and they both ate a ride. I was saying it was very good. We sat outside where there is a game that the boys were able to play while we waited for food in the outdoor area was very clean and nice. Music was not too loud nor were the tables too close together outside. It was a very good Mother's Day meal and I recommend this restaurant to anyone. They have a huge menu and everything that we've tried has been nothing but delicious. read more

Fabulous food, atmosphere & service! Drinks were fantastic! I recommend a margarita on the rocks over frozen. You could tell they used a blender and not a margarita machine - very chunky with ice chips. Flavor was great though! read more

Brassa Tacos - Calamari starter! YUM - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

I just want to start off by saying it takes a lot to disappoint my husband when it comes to food. And tonight he was VERY disappointed, as was I. It was fairly busy tonight and we waited about 20 minutes for our table. We got the text then headed inside. The hostess was calling a different name about 10 times when we were right in front of her and she did not acknowledge us once... why not start seating other guests that are RIGHT in front of you instead of standing there calling for someone who is obviously NOT here!? Anyways, we sat down and ordered our drinks and food. Our server was great and checked on us a lot. Now onto the food. My husband ordered the burrito which was apparently supposed to be oversized but it was just normal sized to us... his exact words were "It tasted like they just threw everything together super fast on a pan with no salt or seasonings and wrapped it then threw some sauce over it". He also was going to get the refried beans but then decided to get corn since it's beans OR rice... never been to a place where you had to choose one or the other. The corn tasted like CANNED corn thrown in the bowl with water and bottled lime juice. I ordered the Birria Flautas and again NO salt. The consomé tasted like water. I also ordered the Calamari. It came with like two pieces of shrimp and it seemed like they were trying to use lettuce and other veggies to just fill the plate. Now onto the price. There is no reason that burrito should be $24. The calamari was more like a salad than calamari and was not worth $16. So terrible portions for the price. The ambience was great and nice decor but let's be real, we're here for the food... not for the neon signs and light fixtures. I don't usually write reviews but I will not get my $75 back so here I am. Now don't get me wrong our server was fantastic and we tipped her well. It's definitely not her fault that the food is terrible. We will NOT be back. read more

I loved the vibes and music. The restrooms have changing station and a family restroom which is nice ! The Jalapeno poppers threw me off with the sweet chili sauce. Not what I was expecting but the other food was good. We got the Michoacan carnitas, green spaghett, shrimp cocktail &' the shrimp calamari appetizer. Our server was nice &' friendly the food did take a while but expected as they just opened. read more

Came for Lunch today. There were 3 hostess standing when we walked in 1 on the phone and 2 others running around a basically empty restaurant. 1 of the ones running around kept telling us "just one moment" while more hosts/ servers gathered around the front and started arguing about who was going to get cut and why someone's name is never on the list to get cut. After that great show it took about 8-10 minutes for us to even get sat. The salsa and chips were good. I got the queso birria tacos since they claimed they are San Diego and we were just there for 7 years. THESE ARE NOT SAN DIEGO QUESOBIRRIA TACOS. Good average not $16 good..... we also got the steak street tacos what were good nothing like San Diego tacos though. hopefully the quality of food and the girls working will get better. Or make waiter was fabulous though, really ontop of his game :) read more

Dined in yesterday with the fams. The restaurant has a fresh/modern look, which we were all a fan of. Great lighting and cleanliness. They also have a unique fun and energetic style of singing happy birthday to patrons. The food's presentation was awesome and tasted even better!! Our waitress, Kaylie R. was a complete sweetheart and did an amazing job at taking care of us. Thank you for the awesome experience Kay! Highly recommended!!! read more

I was very excited to try Brassa Tacos and Taps, and it absolutely did not disappoint! The server was very friendly and attentive. Also very much enjoyed the aesthetic ambiance as well. We went for lunch, but I could see it being an amazing place to go for a date night. We didn't get any cocktails, we got beer instead, but definitely next time because the cocktails being delivered to the surrounding tables looked so good. They give you free chips and salsa, which I am an absolute sucker for. The salsa was delicious as well. I got the quesabirria tacos with refried beans and my husband got a carnitas torta with fries. The torta was quite literally the size of his head and so delicious. I wish I got a photo. The fries were generously portioned as well. I get quesabirria tacos at almost every Mexican restaurant I frequent here, and these were definitely my favorite out of them all. The consommé was to die for and the meat was very well seasoned. Absolutely loved the refried beans as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Brassa Tacos - Quesabirria tacos with refried beans. Consommé was fantastic and shells were the perfect amount of crispy - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, North Carolina

The waitress was quick to take our order, and the manager checked in frequently, which we appreciated. The kitchen was running a little behind given they just opened, but they showed a lot of maturity by not filling every table so the staff wouldn't get overwhelmed and gave great service. Plan for a bit of extra time, but it's absolutely worth the wait. The drinks came out fast, and the Fuego Chicken Bites appetizer was unmatched. We will most definitely be back and ordering that again. read more

Went Sunday night to try the new kid in town. A little disconcerting walking in and seeing a good number of empty tables and being told it would be 45 min and we're 7th on the list. Finally seated and service was prompt, plenty of free chips and salsa. That is a positive. Pretty extensive menu with a bit of everything. Tried the Burtoto Prime. Never again. Left half the unchewable so called prime meat on the plate along with over half the burrito. Will try the specialty next time around. Hopefully improved after the "soft opening". read more

extremely disappointed with my experience at BRASSA Tacos. The service was honestly terrible. We waited an unreasonable amount of time for our food, and there was little to no communication from the staff about the delay. No updates, no apologies nothing. It shouldn't take that long to get tacos, especially when the restaurant wasn't even that busy. By the time our food came out, the experience was already ruined. Customer service makes a huge difference, and unfortunately this place completely missed the mark. Definitely not worth the wait. I won't be returning. read more

The food was over priced for what you got, music was way too loud and the service was a little slow. I thought the food was only okay, my husband did enjoy his dinner. My brisket quesadilla was fatty and more sweet than savory. The chips were hard, bland and a little stale. The chips might have been better if they were warm and salted. The decor was cool and the restaurant was clean. read more

Amazing fresh food! The fish tacos are delicious. Edgar our server was attentive and accommodating. Will return!

The ribeye nachos were perfection! The meat was well flavored and extremely tender. The wait staff Alicia...great.

Awesome service and even better food. I'm a bit picky and hate Cilantro but was able to find multiple choices on the menu.

We were so excited to go. We went and we were seated. We waited for about 20-25 before deciding to leave. We left because we sat there, no one took our drink order (atleast) another couple showed up, they were seated a table away and in less than 5min they were getting their drink order taken. We were trying to be understanding but when we saw that and noticed they kept walking by we decided to just leave. The place was also not packed . I'm glad another couple left when they heard us complaining . I left a comment on their tik tok account and instead of being professional and apologetic, they deleted it. My husband wanted to go again to give them a second chance but after that we decided not to. read more

The food here was delicious, we came on a Saturday night so it was a little busy but that didn't stop the food from being fresh and quicker than expected. The staff were friendly and attentive.

The food was great but the service was even better! Sarina did a great job and made me want to visit again! 11/10 will come again!

I wish I could give it 0 stars. Place was half empty and we were put on a 10 min waitlist at 725. We were seated finally and then waited another 10 mins AT LEAST before a waitress came to us. Now, I understand that this is a newer establishment, but customer service has to be a priority at any business. Then comes the drinks. I was charged for 3 soft drinks, and only got two; I ordered a beer at 750pm and got it only after asking about it a second time at 825. Then the food finally comes out. Not only did they get 2/3 orders wrong, but then it wasn't an offer to fix it or make it right, the waitress just said sorry and tried to leave. Naturally, I ask the 2 meals to be voided and I'll pay for the rest to leave. That back and forth of the receipt took another 10 mins and the manager didn't even come up until I told the waitress that it was a bad look that the manager within opening week can't even check on customers. Finally he comes stating he was with other customers all night (he wasn't, he was literally on the laptop by the bar for the entire duration of our dining experience) but continued to make excuses instead of taking the calm and constructive criticism. I wasn't asking to not pay, I wasn't berating the workers, I was tipping the waitress still, but just wanted him to know this service was bad and it took some convincing for accountability to set in. I highly recommend not going here, at least for a few months for them to figure out whatever processes they need to do better. The chips and salsa were fine and the 1/3 meal was for my daughter who said it was "mid" for what it's worth. read more
