Bro's Fish Tacos — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

Two stars for the taco and all four for service, speed and cleanliness. A little pricey if you ask me but they have a nice build out to pay for. Got the "Good Cod almighty" it was "good" not great and what holds me back is the only offering of a flour tortilla, i am accustomed to fish tacos in corn tortillas and feel that flavor is necessary to truly transport me back to Mexico i also felt the fish portion could have been a little more generous. They are growing and going from a truck to brick and mortar has it's challenges so for as much as i am more inclined to 3 stars over all the fourth is certainly for the CLEANLINESS of the establishment (did i mention i am a multi decade veteran of the foodservice business along with being a former instructor and proctor for the NRAEF ServSafe® program?). i have a vision of seeing those bay doors open on a breezy spring day and having a great snackmeal...maybe offer the option to "double" the protein in the taco? I'll go back. You should go too!

UPDATE 8-18-22 Was going to order online but as far as i can tell a 15% gratuity is mandatory, i didn't get all the way through the check out process as that's a major turn off for me. When did we start being o.k. with businesses charging more than what's written on the menu as a "gratuity" especially when all you have to do is put it in a bag, i'm not going to sit at your table, i am probably not even going to use your bathroom and you insist on ME helping pay YOUR employees more? This would sting a little less if i weren't already paying 15% for the local tax payer punishment of living in (or the location being in) Virginia Beach. Not a good practice. I may go back in person having then control over how much i tip but i won't order online....argh which is even that much more convenient for them. I get it websites cost money but build it into your price, it's part of the cost of doing business leaving a bad taste in my mouth before i even have your food in...

Definitely going back... My better half had gone to this place on a whim when running errands while-hungry. I got a recommendation for a few reasons. The fish tacos were great. They sell/serve craft beer. There is one 'beer' that is on tap that I would love. I had 3 tacos: The Neptuna (I see what you did there), a blackened cobia taco, and The Shredder. I know what you're thinking... "why would you order a "regular" taco at a fish taco place?", well, I did it as a fail safe, really. One question I did that to answer: What if the fish tacos suck?! So, I had a 'plan B'. Well, I'm happy to report I didn't need a plan B! This was my first time ever hearing of or having cobia and I was impressed with how flakey and flavorful it was. The tuna was perfectly seared, and the pork was well-shredded and super tender! They had a different take on the pico de gallo, using grape tomatoes. I was given the choice of taco sauces, that were anything but the norm! Flavorful and spicy are some words that come to mind about the sauces. One thing I thought was interesting is that they offer taco BOWLS! The beer you, ask? There are 6-8 beers on tap and several different types available in the beer fridge. There were even wines available via aluminum can. The beer that I mentioned above, was a hard iced tea... and man... it was the best hard iced tea (maybe hard soft drink) I've ever had! I recommend that anyone who doesn't like beer or wine, or even people who just love iced tea, try it! Ask for it, it's on tap!

Can't say enough good things about Bro's Fish Taco, I'm ashamed of myself for not coming to the physical location earlier. I first tried them at a live event when they were serving out of a truck and was blown over by the solid flavor and taste of their fish tacos but that was years ago. Yesterday my brother in law, who just moved to Virginia Beach asked if there was a place for good fish tacos and it hit me. I knew they had opened a physical location so I didn't hesitate and boy was I on the money. Great friendly staff with an extensive beverage menu and most importantly the tacos were spot on. I went in hard and my wife got on my case about ordering 4 tacos just for myself (they're on 6inch tortillas) and I told her she didn't get how good these were and reminded her how much I can put away when the food is this good. I had "the truth", the shrimp and the cod. Here's the thing, most fish tacos places skimp on the actual fish and load up the tortilla with goat food and gloopy sauce, not at Bro's! You'll get huge chunks of fish that are seasoned perfectly that will come through even with the slaw and they have multiple sauces that you can choose from. And all of this is topped off with very reasonable prices and a simple menu that is only focused on one thing, fish tacos! So what are you...
