    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

    One of my neighbors worked it out so the Boka truck came to the neighborhood! I haven't had Boka…read morebefore and can tell you I want to have it again! I got 4 different tacos. Overall, I enjoyed each one. I really like the tortillas, add a little chewy to the bite. Each taco had double tortilla so I was able to pick up and eat them without losing any of the fillings. 1. Pork Belly Taco: so good!!! Great flavor and loved the crunch of the fried shallots. 2. Pork American: my favorite of them all! The pork was moist and the sauce was fabulous!! Just a bit of heat and so much flavor. 3. Chicken Mexican: pretty good. I really really like the chipotle cream. The chicken wasn't as moist as the pork, but still good. 4. Beef Asian: spicy! The smell made my mouth water. The Asian flavor in this taco was so good! The people were friendly, but we limited interaction so I'm sure I didn't get the full experience. Ordered online and waited in car til text told me it was ready. I will definitely eat Boka again!

    Finally tried them today at an event. I liked the flavors of the tacos I got but the service wasn't…read moregood and the portions compared to price were pretty outrageous. $6 for a fish taco that was fish mince and $5 "beef Asian" taco. Very tiny portions, wasn't worth it. Other authentic taco places load up on meat and toppings as well as even sometimes second tortilla for a taco at a fraction of the cost. The food truck options at the event were only three choices...
