Finally! A place to cure my homesickness for San Diego Mexican food! I got the hearty juicy Big…read moreBoss Birria Burrito both times because it's so good I just can't help myself! It comes with an birria au jus. Both times it was the best tasting burrito I've ever had...even beats all the burritos I've had in San Diego! My side of guacamole was fresh and huge and chips were homemade as well. The flan was authentic - the real deal. This Big Boss Burrito's location has warm ambiance inside and a nice vibe altogether on the main beach drag . I sat inside and my booth was comfortable. I chose the indoor seating because, although the patio itself had a nice vibe, the seating could be improved to be more inviting and less sparse looking. ALL of the staff was friendly and attentive but not bothersome. That would be great if they served breakfast burritos but, just like a lot of places on the east coast, they don't even know what those are. I guess that is just a so cal thing. Anyway, Big Boss Burritos beats all the other supposed Mexican food joints I've tried out here. The others had no flavor but Big Boss Burritos had just the right amount of spice and the flavor was spot on!

Went here Tuesday after 7pm. Inside isn't very big, but there was one booth open when we walked in…read moreso we opted to go ahead and eat inside. There's a decent amount of space in the outside dining area though. Service was just okay to me. To eat: I ordered the steak trio (9/10) the steak was seasoned perfectly, the chicken and shrimp were also tasty, and the rice and beans were alright. I also ordered street corn (10/10), loved the flavors. To drink: I asked for a raspberry margarita (0/10), no raspberry flavor at all. Only thing I could taste was a very faint house margarita mixer. While dining I overheard a different table returned their margarita flights because none of them had any flavor. Not sure if this is the usual case with their drinks or just the fault of the bar tender this night, but their drinks were not being made well during my dining experience. I see myself returning for the food, but definitely not for drinks. I hope though if I do return and decide to give their drinks another chance, that it'll actually have flavor. My overall rate of experience : 6/10

I enjoy getting either the platillo asada or the huaraches for my main dish. I also love the elote cups for a snack or a side dish. The staff are very nice here and promptly take your order.

Perfectly grilled bread, the Mac n cheese was creamy and absolutely covered in cheese - this is not a lightweight option but well worth sharing with a friend!

The service was quick and the food delicious, highly recommend them and can't wait to try one of their other sammies!

Finally got a chance to try out this food truck at Tradition Brewery, and on National Grilled…read moreCheese Day of all days! I was super excited about the menu, I had trouble deciding on what to get. When we got to the brewery, there was no line out front. My boyfriend and I ordered the Buffalo Wing grilled cheese, The Mac Daddy, and the fried mac and cheese balls. They didn't have the bacon mac and cheese balls, which was a bummer. I liked that they gave us a number stand to put on our tables and they brought the food to us. That's where the good stops. The fried mac and cheese balls were a HUGE let down. The breading had a weird texture to it, the mac and cheese inside was pretty dry, and definitely needed some more cheese. It didn't have much flavor to it at all. It was disappointing. The sandwiches were very average too. I ate the buffalo wing sandwich. The chicken wasn't bad, but it was just doused with some hot sauce. I love a grilled cheese with a massive amount of cheese, but with the hot sauce everything became a gloopy, greasy mess. It was hard to eat and everything kept sliding out. I never thought I would say this about a grilled cheese, but they probably could have done with not trying to stuff it with as much cheese and grease. I had to end up eating most of it with a fork. The loaded cheese fries with pulled pork did look really good! I wouldn't go out of my way to come to this place. If it was at another brewery the same time I was, I would definitely try the fries next time, but skip everything else. It's honestly not worth the calories.

If you love burritos, you need to track down The Coop food truck. Hands down my favorite food truck…read morein Virginia Beach! I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene. Can't wait to catch them at their next pop-up!

We've been here a couple of times, ordering new items, and loving everything. Things we would order again: spicy bloody mary, lemon ricotta pancake, chilaquiles, grilled chicken ciabatta. The owner is passionate and creates almost everything from scratch. They are mostly Mexican style dishes but add flares of different cultures in their weekly specials. Small restaurant but makes for an intimate feel. They are usually busy but we've always been able to get seat.

I have been here several times to pick up food, but this was my first time actually going inside to order. The line was long around lunchtime, but it moved quickly. It is fast casual style, so you walk down the line choosing what you want and then pay at the register. I honestly had no idea that was how it worked before, so I was prepared to wait a while. I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient everything was. I was in and out much faster than expected. While putting my order together, the man helping me handed me a sample rib over the counter. I am a very socially awkward person and do not handle unexpected moments very gracefully, so I probably reacted a little awkwardly. That part was on me. The rib was GOOD though. He was very kind about my reaction and even handed me a napkin. The whole staff was friendly, asking how my week was going and checking in to make sure everyone was happy. Even though it was busy, they clearly care about customer service. The food was great. The garlic and green onion sausage had so much flavor, and the bananamisu was the perfect sweet finish. I originally went in hoping to order the BBQ oxtail, but they were sold out within two hours of opening, which honestly says a lot about how good they must be. I had also gone the day before around 7 PM and they had already closed because they were sold out for the day. Just a heads up that they do close early if they run out of food. Overall, great food, friendly staff, and quick service. I will definitely be back and hopefully I will finally catch the oxtail next time.

We stopped by La Isla Del Encanto after seeing it on TikTok and decided to give it a try -- and…read moreoverall, we're glad we did! We ordered a little bit of everything: the pinchos de cerdo, alcapurrias, pastelillos de carne y de pollo, and chicharrones de pollo. The pinchos were flavorful and cooked just right, and the alcapurrias had that crispy outside with a soft, seasoned filling that really hit the spot. The pastelillos were fresh and tasty too -- perfect if you're craving something savory and handheld. The chicharrones de pollo were good, but they came with arroz con bacon, which wasn't really our favorite. We probably would've preferred rice and beans or rice with gandules for more of that traditional flavor. It was still decent, just not our top choice. We also tried the fries with cheese and bacon -- they were okay, but again, not our favorite thing on the menu. What really stood out though was the service. The guy at the window was very polite, attentive, and super respectful. That kind of customer service makes a difference and definitely leaves a good impression. Overall, solid spot if you're craving Puerto Rican bites. We'd definitely recommend stopping by and trying it for yourself!
