    Such a cute spot! The employees are so friendly. The atmosphere is so relaxing, especially when the weather is great. There is only outdoor seating. We had their tacos and tres leches - amazing! Wish we lived in the area because we would go back!

    I was in the area for my birthday and we stopped her for lunch. I ordered the carne asada quesadilla that comes with rice and beans. The portions were big and super filling. They offer different flavors of jarritos. The staff were super friendly and the dining area is located outside. I enjoy Mexican cuisine and this place was perfect! I would definitely stop by the next time I come to the area!

    Been coming to chincoteague for years and this is a new favorite spot for us! Really authentic Mexican food, I am sad we haven't come sooner. This is your real deal Mexican food, not the trendy overpriced tacos that are actually just sub par. I ordered a barbacoa and carnitas burrito and it was larger than my head and filled with rice, beans, cheese, and fresh guac. So massive I couldn't finish it (but was impressed with how far I made it). The tacos all looked really good too, especially the shrimp. I can't wait to come back next time we are here; this was definitely one of our favorite meals of the trip!!

    Came by here after a day at the beach and got me some tacos! Was not disappointed. I couldn't convince my family to get tacos (they grabbed food from Island Dawg next door, but both areas allow you to bring food from one and each at the other's tables, just make sure you clean up and return trays to the right place), so I had to be strategic. I got three different types so I could get a feel for all the flavors. The folks in the stand speak both English and Spanish, and they took my order in Spanish. They got the food out to me pretty quickly. I got the Barbacoa, the Carnitas, and the Cajun Shrimp. I really can't pick a favorite; they were all so good. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, plump and tender. The barbacoa and carnitas were solid and I don't think they could be any better. There are some vegetarian options, so there's something for everyone! Next time I'm back, I look forward to trying more of the menu!

    3.5/5 stars Good tacos for the area but fairly standard in general. The salsas were lackluster and the shrimp taco wasn't great. Although the asada taco was great texture and flavor. Overall I wasn't wowed for a $5 taco.

    We stopped here for 1 taco each as an appetizer before dinner. We were trying to go to as many restaurants as possible in our not long enough weekend in Chincoteague. This is a food truck. This is not a restaurant. There are no bathrooms - there usually isn't with food trucks. This is a great stop for a casual meal after a day of exploring. You order at the window and pick up on the side window. Picnic tables to sit at. DO NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS! I got the Cajun Shrimp Taco which was awesome and great presentation. My friend got the Asada (steak) Taco. We pretty much inhaled. Corn tortillas did not fall apart and there was plenty of filling including avocado, corn, salsa and cheese. They have a grab and go for Mexican sodas and waters. No alcohol - a beer would have been perfect though. Clean up when you are done. I would go back next time I am in Chincoteague.

    We took out dinner from there in the 2nd week of November in 2023. The food was plentiful, cheap, and tasty. Also, they had a good vegetarian option that was important for our party. We would happily go back there to eat.

    Wow, what a treat this food truck was! We were a group of five so several different things were ordered. Tacos, burritos, sopas and tostados. We wanted to try it all. Oh, and an order of rice and an order of beans. Tacos were barbacoa, carne asada and pollo. All with pico de gallo and queso fresco. The barbacoa were the best! The meat was so tender and flavorful! (We ordered the tacos with flour tortillas). Our friends totally enjoyed their burritos and I even got a taste of the sopas with barbacoa and it was so good! If you get two tacos, that will probably be enough. The two of us got two tacos each and the orders of rice and beans. We tasted the rice and beans and they were 'ok' but not great enough to order again.

    Chicken tacos with cheese and guacamole

    Best tacos on the island. We ordered chicken and steak. It automatically comes with onions and cilantro or pico. I got cheese... corn tortillas are awesome. They make everything fresh so it takes a bit but it is worth the wait. But the service is fast. It's a good truck so it's outside seating on picnic tables.

    Allowances have to be made for a remote locale like Chincoteague, and I don't look at this the same…read moreway I would as a restaurant in an urban area. However, despite their impressive vegetarian selections, I was told upon arriving well before closing that they did not have any rice, salad, congee, or vegetarian pho. What's left, one might ask? The answer was vermicelli noodles with chargrilled tofu. These came with some pickled carrots and daikon. The tofu grilled up fantastically and had a delicious marinade. I'm told they get a fair number of vegan customers. There's not a lot else around. The quality was there, but I'd suggest coming early as keeping food in stock seems to be a challenge. I ordered a tea with a weird artificial grape flavor but also some nice fresh grapes and boba. The place runs as 100% takeout at the moment. This is not a huge drawback as one normally does not come to remote beach islands to sit inside, and if the weather is bad you probably have a hotel. I would like to come back and see if I can find reason to given them a higher rating.

    Did a pick up order yesterday for curry beef over vermicelli. They asked me if I wanted it…read more"blowout" hot which I declined and just chose "hot". It was amazing! Looking back, I probably should've gone an additional setting down on the heat scale but it was delicious and a massive portion. They said they were a bit backed up but it was ready right when they said it would be! I'll definitely be returning!

    5 star food, but kind of a 2.5 star experience…read more We have been coming to Chincoteague and eating at Woody's for years. The barbecue is great--smokey and tender meats, tangy-sweet sauce, fall-off-the-bone ribs. The sides are solid as well for the most part--crispy crunchy coleslaw, savory and sweet baked beans, satisfyingly creamy and crunchy corn nuggets, perfectly balanced sweet potato fries. However: I don't know if there's ever been a year when we got ALL the food we ordered. If you order for a group pretty much just expect you'll get about 80% of what you bought. You can't call or order online; you have to go say or present your order in person. If it's more than like two items the best way seems to be to write it down and hand over a list but that isn't a guarantee of anything. This year, we placed an order for six people including two platters--half rack of ribs and the half rack + half chicken combo. Guess what: no chicken in the bag. Also no cornbread, which was supposed to come with the platters. If this was a one-off that would be one thing. But I kid you not in 10 years I don't think we've ever received 100% of the food. It's really frustrating to drive over there, wait and then find out stuff is missing. I want to recommend Woody's based on the quality of the food. But: Don't trust that they'll get it right. Just expect that you should unpack the whole order when they hand it to you and check everything before driving away.

    We passed this establishment during our initial reconnoiter of the island. Lots of cars out front…read morefor a place outside the town. Seemed popular with the locals. Decided to go there for breakfast on our last day. Arrived at 9 AM on Sunday, and the parking lot was already full. We got lucky and were able to be seated (two of us) right away. I will say the staff does a great job clearing and resetting tables and getting new diners in, all without the aid of electronic devices. The decor is rather Spartan - grey concrete block walls, dark brown furniture, very little natural light. There are a few booths and tables in front of the register and then a larger dining area to the right of the entrance. Tables, walls, utensils, etc. were clean. Our server came by shortly after we were seated and took our beverage orders. Two regular coffees and a glass of water. The coffee was nothing special, but it was hot and tasted fresh. I ordered two eggs over easy, bacon, and rye toast. My partner ordered eggs scrambled and home fries. Despite how busy the place was, breakfast arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Eggs were done right, the portion of bacon was generous, and the home fries were good. Everything arrived hot, so it hadn't sat on the line too long. As we ate, we were asked if we wanted more coffee several times by several different servers. We've been to places where our cups are never refilled, so we appreciated the ask. Total for breakfast was around $25. This seemed reasonable in today's economy. This isn't a place for ambiance or decor, but if you are looking for basic sustenance done well, it is worth stopping.

    Unfortunately, we were too late for breakfast (not served all day)…read more We ordered: Mozzarella sticks- best part of the meal honestly Triple decker club - picture Jennie-O pre-packaged lunch meat, wrapped American cheese slices and bacon (the bacon may have been freshly cooked though) Roast beef sandwich - who can mess so a roast beef sandwich, right?? (WRONG) Store brand white bread with chopped up Steak-Um meat and canned gravy. I will say though, the frozen French fries were PERFECTLY cooked, the perfect amount of crisp. The staff was friendly enough. I don't believe that one thing at this restaurant is hand made. Just to be clear, I do not recommend.
