We were a party of 10 and we all got our food at different times. I was already almost done eating before my cousins even got her plate. Also, they kept running out of stuff, like who runs out of french fries. Also they can only sit a check into 2 checks. It's 2026, there's no reason why your system can't properly split checks. All in all, I would only come back with a small party. The food was good but they need to do better with their system. Note: we were so hungry waiting for our food, I didn't even get to take a picture when it finally came out.

Let's see!! We…read moreordered combo #2 and combo #3... My husband and I visited this food truck this past Sunday. I believe this was their first time in Suffolk so when my husband found out that they were going to be here on Sunday he already planned for our dinner to take place here. We arrived a little after 2:00 p.m. and there was a line already but needless to say the line moves swiftly. We ordered our Combos and waited about 15 minutes maybe less for our food. I believe everything is cooked to order. Our food was packaged very well!! I would like to think... packaged with love as you can see one of the pictures I did get a snap. The customer service was spot on...we were greeted we were thanked...service with a smile that's already five stars out of five stars in my opinion. We didn't eat our food until we got home ...my husband had the orange chicken along with the pancit and some chicken skewers that he added to his combo and I had the pancit along with the chicken skewers. Everything was awesome!! A lot of pancit came in that combo and I had no business eating it all in one sitting but I did. Again Super Fresh and not to the point where I was regretting eating a whole tray of pancit. If you have not tried this food truck definitely put it on your radar. I tried it a few years ago and some of the items I didn't care for so it's up to you to try at your own risk but I highly recommend the pancit and the orange chicken. I believe they're going to have Suffolk on their rotation going forward so look out for them if you're going to be in the area or just go to their Facebook page and check out where they're going to be next! Have fun and enjoy life :)

I had pancit with leftover sausage the next day. They are very pleasant and my husband said they were very nice when he picked it all up from the truck in the pouring rain.

A Little Piece of Colombia in VA Beach…read more If you're Colombian (or just love real, soulful food), Bilu's Colombian Restaurant in VA Beach is an absolute must. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home--warm, welcoming, and full of corazón. Shoutout to Camila, our server, because baby... she went above and beyond. Attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to make sure we had the best experience. That kind of service hits different. Now let's talk food, because whew ‍ We started with empanadas de pollo--crispy, flavorful, and perfect. My son ordered the pargo marinado with a jugo de lulo en leche (chef's kiss), and I had the carne en salsa criolla with a jugo de guanábana en leche that tasted exactly like back home. No shortcuts. No watered-down flavors. Just real Colombian goodness. To finish strong, we had a cafesito en leche with pandebono, and honestly... I could've cried. That's how authentic it was. As if that wasn't enough, we stopped by La Tiendita inside the restaurant and grabbed our favorites: Arequipe Alpina (porque obvio) and Manzana Postobón--our forever favorite soda. My son even picked up a Colombian national team jersey, which made the experience even more special. We left full, happy, and already planning to come back for breakfast Bilu's isn't just a restaurant--it's a whole Colombian experience. Gracias, Camila. Gracias, Bilu's. Nos vemos pronto.

Bilu's Colombian Restaurant & Rotisserie Chicken is located off Newtown RD in Virginia Beach. I…read moreattempted to visit a few weeks ago for dinner to try their Rotisserie chicken but unfortunately they were sold out so I recently returned again on a Friday during lunch for another attempt. When I entered I was greeted right away and was given a menu and I let them know I would like to place an order to go.  Service was great and the wait staff was very friendly and took my order immediately.  The dining room was very spacious with plenty of tables and they had bar seating available. While I waited for my food I decided to walk over to the bakery that was attached to the restaurant. The bakery sells a bunch of different Colombian/Spanish baked goods, snacks and frozen items. They also had a section setup similar to a gift shop that had purses, hats, clothing and souvenirs that you would mostly find if you were in Columbia which I found to be a nice and unique addition.  I ordered the half rotisserie chicken with coconut rice, fried cassava, and sugar cane juice with lime To-go. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality of my meal. My chicken lacked flavor and tasted as though it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The wing was so dry and dehydrated that it was inedible; only the leg and thigh were moist. Additionally, the coconut rice was significantly undercooked and excessively sweet, to the point that I could not eat it. The fried cassava was served in very large pieces that remained undercooked. The Sugar cane juice was a dark brown color and had a sour taste, suggesting it was not fresh.  Fresh sugarcane juice should be a greenish- yellow color and only turns brown after it oxidizes which changes the quality and is not what I expected.  I have heard great things about this restaurant and hope my experience is not the norm. While I am interested in other menu items, I am currently hesitant about when I might return.

I got the pork and rice and chicken and rice box, with chicken and cheese and beef and cheese empanadas. I'm very picky about empanadas, so I sat in the parking lot and ate the first chicken and cheese one, then I levitated somehow back inside to order more. They were hot and delicious! The sauce that goes with it is crack also!! Mmmmm. The pork and chicken with rice tasted authentic like someones grandma was back there whipping it up. I won't lie, by the looks on the pics I didn't expect much because everything just looked brown. But it was good flavor with both dishes and a good portion. There were a few pieces of tough pork, but that was no issue, I still enjoyed it. They let me try the cake which I couldn't decide on, that was so nice of them. That cake is good!! Everything a pound cake should be!! I'm definitely getting that when I go back. I want to gatekeep it so bad, lol, but they deserve for them to be sold out!! The restaurant itself isn't big.

Based upon the jam packed overflowing crowd I encountered last Sunday, this small Brazilian style…read morestorefront eatery may very well prove to be the little restaurant that could. It all began as a food truck that made a successful opening day debut at the International Food Festival in Hampton during the summer of 2016. This led to the owner's dream of finding her own brick and mortar location, which was finally fulfilled when she opened one in Norfolk this past August. Her dream brought her to a location in the Riverview section of Granby Street, partially housed in a former convenience store beside the recently closed Barking Dog, and directly across the street from the French Delicatessen and Bakery. Parking can be scarce. If I don't see a space, I usually pull into the McDonald's several feet away and swing around to the back of the building, where there have always been plenty of spaces available. The owner is from Brazil, where her family also owns a restaurant, and uses some of her grandmother's recipes. It is her mission to introduce the area to the more traditional style of Brazilian cuisine that was reminiscent of the 1950s. The decor has a distinctive 1950s feel as well. There is an antique radio in the corner of the customer counter. An old-fashioned pay phone and coffee maker are visible behind the food counter. Their coffee is brewed from beans fresh daily from Tidewater Coffee. Candy jars rest on the food counter, one of which includes a huge chocolate bar from Lacta, a Brazilian chocolate manufacturer, which I will try during my next visit. During my last visit, I counted seven two-seated metallic chairs inside. Four seats are available at the counter against the wall. Most of their tables and chairs are still outside, which were quite busy over the summer. After four visits, I have tried the following: BEEF AND CHICKEN EMPANADAS: I ordered one of each and was blown away. They were served piping hot with a thin flaky crust, plump and juicy with their shredded beef and chicken fillings. When it comes to empanadas, I've never had better. My Rating: 5 Stars. PRATO DE FRANGO: A large platter consisting of savory chunks of chicken with black beans, fried plantains, and white rice. This dish was very tasty, well seasoned, and very filling. It could have been just a little hotter temperature wise. My Rating: 4 Stars. FEIJOADA: A Brazilian Black Bean Stew with Black Beans, Bacon, Smoked Sausages, Ham Hock, Neck Bone, Collard Greens, Orange Slices, Yucca Flour Crumbles, and White Rice. This is regarded as the national dish of Brazil, and I've enjoyed it twice so far, with the first time in September and the second time last Sunday. It is only available during the weekends at this time. Let it suffice to say that it is incredibly delicious. My Rating: 5 Stars. Some of their current menu offerings seem to stray a bit from their Brazilian reservation. Their Smoked Kielbasa plate is one example. Kielbasa is a type of sausage originating from Poland and the Ukraine. What gives it a Brazilian touch are the black beans that come with it. They also offer Beef and Chicken Strogonoff, which are traditional Russian dishes. Their version which comes with two starches, namely rice and fries. Their daily breakfast offerings currently include eggs, waffles, pancakes, bacon, and sausage, which strike me as more American than Brazilian. They also offer a Philly Cheese Steak. I believe the owner is trying to establish a solid customer base with a few American and international favorites while gradually introducing her customers to more traditional Brazilian fare. Based upon the increasing customer volume I have witnessed during the past few months, it appears to be working. This restaurant also functions as a bakery, with many of their offerings featured almost daily on their Facebook page. Among them are Pao de Queijo, a traditional Brazilian cheese bread, Sonhos, which are popular Brazilian cream filled puff pastries, and Caramel and Nutella flavored Churros. A wide assortment of desserts is also available from their display cases, which has included corn pudding, corn pudding, flan, and a number of others. One minor issue I have with their current service policy is that water is only available by the bottle. Paying two dollars for a bottle of water doesn't quite agree with me, and I hope they reconsider this one. During my next visit, I want to try one of their Coxinhas, a popular street food in Brazil that consists of chicken meat molded inside batter fried dough resembling a chicken leg or tear drop. For yet another future visit, I am hoping that they will eventually introduce Moqueca, a traditional Brazilian fish stew to their menu I regard the Taste of Brazil as a work in progress and one that is still peaking. They have been making great strides so far, and I am looking forward to my future visits, and perhaps an upgrade to a 5-star rating sometime next year.

Taste of Brazil was the food truck here that night, so I scoped their menu online before ordering. We both ordered the chicken plate - mine without the plantains and his with. They were supposed to be open for ordering at 5:00 pm, but didn't start taking orders until nearly 5:30. Then, the waiting... and waiting... and waiting... 45 minutes later (and we were 3rd in line to order), we finally got our food (they definitely need to prep ahead of time for the anticipated lines). It was NOT worth the wait and we were really disappointed. For $10 each, we got a ton of plain basmati rice, some black beans, the most tasteless, dry chicken, a little shredded lettuce and a couple of grape tomatoes. I definitely wouldn't seek out the brick and mortar location and, if they're on schedule at a brewery, would be eating at home first or finding another way to spend my time.
