Great taco spot and a good spot for lunch. You see people from all walks of life and different ages enjoying food here. I also get tacos and usually get lengua and tripa. Their tripa is realllyyyy good. Lengua is awesome as well. The birria tacos are not my favorite, not terrible but I've had better. read more

I cannot believe I've never reviewed Tacos Gomez. I have eaten there at least 50 times in the past few 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! read more

So glad someone recommended Tacos Gomez during our weekend in Charlottesville! The food was made to order and tasted amazing! I ordered 3 quesadillas and found them to be very filling - but incredibly delicious. My husband loved his torta! Service was fast and we hope to eat here again soon. read more

Tacos Gomez is an adorable spot in Cville all should make the trek to try! I came here on a Friday night with a friend and appreciated the speedy service. We split the Carne Asada tacos - so tender and full of flavor. I was especially happy they garnished each taco with plenty of onions and cilantro. The spicy green salsa was the cherry on top! The ambiance is outdoor benches right in front of the truck. Great seating for a breezy night or sunny afternoon. Was very happy to support this local business :) read more

Great service. I will let you know how the tacos Al pastor & carnitas tastes but the workers are wonderful. read more

Very kind staff. The restaurant is actually down the street and all pick up orders are from there. The lady in the truck was kind enough to point me in the right direction. Very affordable and delicious read more

It is amazing. Like some of the best tacos possible. I go every other Saturday and have probably gone 25+ times and have never been even mildly dissatisfied with any food. The sauce is very spicy but don't be afraid because it comes on the side. The food truck is in a good location so you can easily access it. Food comes quick and the staff is always friendly and helpful. There is an area to sit as well if you want a sit down type of thing. The general vibe I do pretty good and the people around are very nice. Edit: my love the beef tacos and the price is very good you can pay with card or cash it is very affordable for how good the food is. Also the Al pastor is read more

This food truck has the best street tacos I've had in the US by far. The asada and the al pastor are *chef's kiss*: incredibly flavorful and tender. The quesadillas are a great option too, and I'm looking forward to trying the tortas on a future visit. Note that there are vegetarian options (basically vegetable fillings for tacos or quesadillas). There's plenty of parking and service is quick. There are some tables to eat at outside if you'd rather not take your food to go. There are other food trucks scattered around the space too. read more

The best tacos best service and best prices. So delicious always fresh and always a vibe. They've gotten very busy and for good reason but they always come out quick! Delicious and reminds me of California tacos. Very authentic read more

Out of all of the food trucks on the lot Tacos Gomez is always poppin' so I finally decided to stop by after work. Service was great and the menu has a lot of options. The green sauce and the quesadilla were my favorites but the al pastor taco was a prettier solid taco. Ingredients were very fresh. I went with a coworker, and our meal total was $20 for three quesadillas, one taco and a bottle of Coke. This place is a great bang for your buck for quality food. read more

Let me tell you Tacos Gomez is where it's at. The food is authentic, high-quality and the portions are perfect. The perfect lunch is three Carne Asada tacos (add a little bit of queso) and an order of the chicken flautas with a fruit punch Jarritos. I'm telling you that combo is money and will leave you feeling satisfied and happy that you got it. Tell Miguel that Ryan sent you ! read more

Good food and service with a smile. If you want tacos, you don't need to order just one particular meat, they are happy to mix them up.

Convenient food truck spot location with great Mexican food. Has a big variety in their menu. Food was hot & fresh. read more

On my way to McD's and saw Taco Gomez. Had to stop by cause I love my tacos! Pros: - Prices weren't cheap but they weren't over priced (when considering you're in C'ville) - 4 tacos for $13.....sure why not - tacos had lots of meat in them - good flavor - spicy sauce was pretty damn spicy. Cons: - none really. - maybe the spicy sauce was too spicy. Haha Overall: Between here and El Taco Nako...it's a toss up. Can't go wrong at either place. I'll definitely be coming back here again when in C'ville. read more

Tacos Gomez is an awesome place for tacos. They are super tasty and affordable. Service is always quick as well.

I'd been waiting to snag some food at this taco truck for ages. The time finally came. I already can't wait to go back. It's hard to find tortas around these parts, but if you're in need, Tacos Gomez has your back. I had the Torta al pastor and it was banging. Honestly too big to eat in one sitting, but I did it anyways. Too good to say no, plus you only live once, right?? My husband got four tacos, and I tried one of his pork tacos and it was delicious. They weren't greasy at all but had all the flavor. They are also loaded with meat, no skimping there. Classic style served with onions and cilantro on top plus a lime and salsa. Perfection. The prices are right. For the quality and amount you get it's a great deal. We'll be back soon I'm sure. Authentic, friendly, delicious. read more

I ate here for the first time the other day and it was amazing. Recommendations: campechanos quesadillas (get at least two, three if you're hungry) Price: $3.50/taco or $13/4 tacos, $4/quesadilla. Sounds a little pricey per item, but this is Charlottesville and the tacos and quesadillas are bigger than at other places I will definitely be going back. Excited to try the birria! read more

A surprising amount of tacos trucks exist in Charlottesville, and most folks cite Tacos Gomez at the foot of Pantops as the best in town. Given that praise, my wife and I checked out this place rather than our go-to Tako Nako for a recent lunch. Tacos Gomez resides next to a few other food trucks in a parking lot off of High Street. A few tables and chairs are available for patrons who want to eat outdoors, however we took our order to go. Despite the truck being fairly busy, we got our food within five minutes of ordering. We sampled four varieties of taco (chorizo, pastor, lengua, and birria). The highlight of the tacos actually ended up being the handmade tortillas. These had a soft texture with a light corn flavor and enough heft to support the generously filled tacos. The meats themselves, while solid, didn't wow us. We couldn't tell the difference between the pastor and chorizo, as both had pleasant but very similar flavor profiles. Additionally, the birria was a little dry, though I had no complaints about the tender lengua. Both red and green salsas tasted fresh and spicy, but we wish the truck didn't charge for extra cups of condiment. Tacos Gomez also offers other enticing options like stuffed tortas and chicken flautas, and these honestly looked super delicious relative to our tacos. Prices are on par with other tacos and thus overall a very good value. While we will likely stick to our usual favorite taco truck in town for tacos themselves, we will definitely check out Gomez for their more unique offerings or whenever we want a change of pace. These tacos definitely hit the spot, and are a worthy option to get your authentic fix. read more

Coming from So Cal I found the place that has great tacos and quesadillas and it's Tacos Gomez. If you haven't tried it you won't be disappointed. read more

Holy Torta! Needing some lunch we swung by the food truck on the corner of High and 250. It was plenty crowded but got our food quickly. It seems that a lot of people call in their order. They only have a couple of tables so we took ours to Meade Park. The park was empty due to water park not having lifeguards. Back to the torta, I got the asada torta. Steak with tomatoes, onion, avocado, jalapeno, and cheese. The bread is the star of the show. Perfectly toasted to hold all of the ingredients. I can't wait to go back and try another from the long list. read more

I love small businesses and I try to eat at most small businesses every time I travel anywhere. BUT THIS WAS A ABSOLUTE WASTE . yes customer service was great , the food just had no flavor , birria tacos were not cooked in consomme and I actually had to go back and get consomme . also order flautas , they were just ground boiled chicken wrapped and fried with a salad thrown on top . wish I had a better experience bc I was really excited for this one read more

Best tacos in town. We have been here repeatedly--they're always great. Get both the red and green sauces!

OK, but there are places in Charlottesville I like much more. It's a food truck with variety of taco choices, so nothing fancy although probably more authentic than food served at other places. read more

This place is honestly incredible. Some of the most authentic Tacos and Quesebirrias I've had since visiting Arizona and Texas when my parents lived near the border on a few separate occasions. I've noticed the cashiers are bilingual which makes crowds feel more welcome, and its amazing to see the growth they've had from where they were before. Their larger truck looks amazing, and I look forward to trying their new breakfast place nearby! read more

Came for the tacos, but finished the meal even more impressed by the tortas. These are easily the best and most authentic tacos I've had in Charlottesville, which explains why there's always a line at this food truck--but the tortas truly take the cake. They are huge and filling and just so delicious. Tacos Gomez will forever be a good luck spot for me because it was my final meal before going into labor at almost 40 weeks pregnant. Will be continuing to visit for many years to come. read more

We used Tacos Gomez as our wedding reception caterer at our farm this past weekend. We have dined with them on numerous occasions, having relocated here from Southern California three years ago -- so we have had a fair amount of experience with both Mexican restaurants and taco trucks. They were outstanding (again) in every respect. They were right on time. They were polite and professional and delivered an awesome catering experience. Even our Mex food jaded SoCal friends remarked on the excellence of the food, it's authenticity and it's timely preparation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. A++++++ read more

Charlottesville's Most Popular Taco Truck I'm shocked I still hadn't reviewed this GEM. Sure, they raised their prices so that they no longer have the best prices for tacos in Cville. And yeah, they aren't the secret of Cville like they used to be. But honestly, who cares? Their tacos are addictive, visually appealing, and authentic. That's the "triple A" of Hispanic food we reviewers should always shoot for! I recommend that you don't shy away from the spicy, green salsa that comes alongside the tacos. You're missing out if you don't pour it onto your food. Order some of this food to-go and enjoy your inexpensive, delicious meal. read more

So good! HMeat was flavorful and tasted like a good quality. TheY has the right amount of meat, onions, cilantro. The tacos were filling and service was good! Exactly what I was hopping for. I recommend and will return again ******** Return I did! Still the best tacos in 100+. miles!! read more
