The tarragon chicken salad is delicious, and I LOVE the small block of cheese. The fresh pickles are a good compliment to the chicken salad, and that's normally my go to lunch meal. Today I went with the fettuccine, feta and tomatoes! Delicious and filling! Meals come with a side of bread and everything on the menu being in the $7-10 range is incredibly reasonable for downtown Richmond. There's always a line, but service is fast and friendly.

The wraps are customizable, you're able to omit any ingredients you don't like, their sauces are amazing and you can even have chips crushed into your wrap. The wraps are very filling with plenty of protein and veggies packed in. The service is the best of all of the food carts in my opinion. All of the staff are so nice! Dont forget to grab a fresh squeezed limeade as well! Delicious wrap drinks and chips for $11 can't be beat.

Ambience fits a takeout location but they do have limited seating inside and some outdoor seating as well. You can either order from a kiosk or directly from the cashier. Keep in mind if you use the kiosk, you have to add the toppings even though it says what's on the sandwich. Unfortunately, there's no way to get around ordering as described without physically choosing those ingredients. I ordered the jerk chicken and I was expecting just that...a chopped chicken sandwich with a jerk seasoning like I would get from any Caribbean spot but that's not what it tasted like. It had a heavy sweetness to it that I wasn't fond of with a slight spicy kick but this definitely did not scream jerk chicken at all. No scotch bonnet, thyme or pimento flavors at all. I was highly disappointed when I got home. The fries and lemonade (seems like concentrated with syrup flavors added) were ok.

One of the carts on Marshall St near MCV downtown. They…read morehave Greek/Mediterranean meals. My favorite is the falafel gyro. I'm so in love with it for some reason, although my first experience was the best. The pita isn't great and falls apart but you can use a fork. It comes with several tasty falafel pieces, lettuce, tomatoes, onions (very fresh). The tzatziki sauce is on the side and so is some red pepper hummus. I like to dip the broken off pieces of pita into the hummus and I've seen people buy extra pieces of pita. I have also tried the chicken gyro which I wasn't as crazy about but still good. Average price for the carts, $5-6 dollars. All the entrees seem pretty popular and the special side salad is also usually popular.

Thuy V., you owe me five bucks. (grin)…read more I took your suggestion and tried the falafel gyro at Cafe' Tarra and I am at a loss to find what you found so delicious. I'm not going to slam Cafe' Tarra (much) because this is the only time I've tried them, but I hope the rest of their food isn't as bland as the falafel gyro plate. Cold pita; falafel that's lack of flavor was only outdone by its overcooked-ness (is that a word?); completely bland hummus and tzatziki( if that's what those were "supposed" to be). I was wondering why at noon on a work day that there were lines at almost all the other food carts except Cafe' Tarra.....I think I now know . This kind of food is what makes people not like or want to try vegetarian food. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day.

The brick and mortar also houses RVA Street Foodies around the back, but once you step inside, there are two frozen dessert carts holding the different flavors. We tried the Mango Pina Colada with a strawberry drizzle, and Tie Dye (which is a swirl of lemon, lemon-lime, and blue raspberry). Both were of super generous amount that comes in a cup. I really liked the strawberry drizzle, as it seemed to be made with real strawberry puree; the Mango Pina Colada tasted much better than the Tie Dye, as the Tie Dye seemed to be more lemon-centric. I also thought it would have been more icy, but it was super smooth and sort of overly 'soft,' if that makes any sense! Staff were friendly, and there are about two small 2-seater benches to wait for your dessert and some tables in the back; otherwise, the place seems to be more of a to-go/carry-out place. I'm glad I was able to check this place out. +get the strawberry drizzle +friendly staff +limited seating

Jahn and Kat are the sweetest most genuine couple you've ever met…read more I've been coming here since I began undergrad at VCU in 2006 (almost 10 years). Since then not much has changed. The food is still delicious and believe or not the prices haven't changed even when the recession hit. Everything I've had on the menu is delicious. My recommendation: tell them to hook you up and you'll enjoy it! They are good at what they do and with a few hints about your dietary needs, they can make a far better meal for you than you can pick for yourself. Support local small businesses and small business owners, eat here!!

It's been YEARS and they still remember my order! I'm a hothead and love love LOVE their hot sauce. Jahn always takes care of me, it's just hot enough to give me a bit of sweat, but not so much that it tastes bitter. They integrate new sauces and drinks all the time, depending on what they're growing in their garden. (Yes, you heard me right--they grow much of what they sell...it doesn't get more local than that!) Awesome people, awesome food. If you haven't stopped by, you are missing out!
