For the longest time, I love the Combination Platter, which is what I normally get within either salad, rice or tabbouleh. Now, I've mixed it up with some wings, standalone salad and lettuce-wrapped burger. 1) Sweet & Tangy 10 wings (lightly coated) - crispy, tasty, sweet and tangy deliciousness 2) Fattoush Salad - fresh mix of greens, onions, tomatoes, cucumber with crispy pita and I think balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I love Fattoush salads in general. 3) Lettuce-Wrapped Cheeseburger (no bun) - onions, pickles, tomatoes, of course lettuce, and cheese. "Low-Carb" Burger for those in the diet/lifestyle. The patty was thin, but it was big and filling. Service was wonderful, fast and accommodating. Very affordable pricing of food. The cafe is normally quiet, but I do prefer it that way. I'm sure it gets busy during the lunch and dinner times though. Look forward in trying out their breakfast soon!

Food trucks to adults are literally what ice cream trucks are to children!…read more I think food trucks are the best method of experiencing what locals have to offer. While heading to pickup my Yelp-buddy, Goldie, I spotted this tiny red food truck but, wasn't sure of what they were serving. Of course you know... being a Yelper. We had to circle back around to check out the scene and that's how I discovered this amazing Cuban food truck! I ordered a delicious, Mango, fruit juice smoothie that tasted just like a well blended/creamed mango. For $3, the size of that smoothie was definitely a steal! The food truck chef or owners was cool, especially, Ordalis (not sure if that's how you spell her name but, I tired.) They've recently opened up a couple of months ago and is only closed on Mondays. There's a small picnic-style dining area next to the food truck for those who enjoy watching the street view while chowing down. And there's only curb-side street parking. I'm loving how this Arlington area is growing with local eateries or food trucks. I can't wait to return for a real taste of Cuba.

I met Mr. Mohammed and he took my order and cooked it fresh while I waited. I sat at round table with an umbrella and some chairs to sit and relax while he fixed my two meals. I ordered the lamb gyro for myself and a Philly cheesesteak for Ernie. I was hungry, so I stayed and ate some of my food and then too the rest home for later. The gyro was huge! You get an order of shoestring fries and a cold drink with your orders. He did not have any zero drinks, so I had a Diet Pepsi. He has both Coca Cola and Pepsi products. The fries were well seasoned and tasty. When I got hone Ernie enjoyed his Philly cheesesteak/fries. His hours are Monday-Sunday, 11am-11pm. When does he rest?! It was nice talking to Mr. Mohammed. It's a small world! It ends up that we both live in Arlington and only live one block away from each other! I look forward to trying his chicken shawarma and other dishes in the future.

The building itself is a bit lowkey but they have tons of seating inside. When it comes to the food, I wasn't necessarily blown out of the water.

I was excited to find Mediterranean open on a weeknight nearby my hotel. They were still open…read moredespite their DoorDash being closed for the night, so I headed over. This spot is in a run down strip mall, with people hanging out in front of the laundromat a few doors down. There was only a couple of people left inside the restaurant. I ordered the falafel platter and selected hummus and fattoush for the 2 sides, plus an order of grape leaves. The person who took my order was friendly. I then proceeded to their bathroom. The women's bathroom was unclean. Not in a 'someone messed up this bathroom' kind of way, but in a neglect sort of way. Dust and dirt on the hand soap bottle. Black grime marks all around the light switch. If I had ordered from DoorDash, I would not have known about this, but I did see. The only employees working that I could see were men, and it was too late to cancel. At the hotel, I didn't eat any of the raw items, but I did eat the heated items: falafel and pita- which were very good. I also ate some of the vegetarian grape leaves, because they started off warm, but then some were kind of cold so I didn't eat those. I couldn't decide if they just had not been heated properly or were not chilled properly.

I was really surprised to find soursop as an option as it reduces inflammation and fights cancer. In addition, it helps regulate your thyroid. She has two types of sweet potato, yellow, and orange. I chose yellow. The menu doesn't say, but she automatically adds cinnamon included in your price, but she will ask you before she adds it cinnamon regulate your blood sugar. She uses two standard straws so that you can drink your smoothie quicker. Mine taste like pumpkin pie for my sweetener, I used unfiltered honey and I used plant-based protein. She has been in business for 17 years, making smoothies. She offers you a little sample cup to make sure your smoothie is sweet enough before she gives you the whole smoothie which is a great idea Please come and support a business that is not a chain, and you are not getting supplements that come from a box and a factory.

They always make sure I don't have any questions before I order and if I do, they are knowledgeable and informative. They'll be able to explain to you the benefits or their smoothies or add-ins such as elderberry, turmeric spirilla, chia seeds, flax seeds, seamoss, and goji berries to make a few. You can choose between a 10, 16, 20, or 24 ounce smoothie all ranging from $5-7. Today, I was quite full from my lunch so I got the 10 ounce "superman" which is my personal favorite smoothie. It's quite simple just consistent of vegan protein powder, banana, and peanut butter but always ask to add strawberry in it too and thats never a problem. This smoothie is delicious and packed with the protein I need for the day, it's very heavy with a buttery taste and mounds of fresh berries blended in. They even offer me a sample before they hand over my cup just to make sure it's to my liking which I really appreciate. If you're in the mood for food rather than a parfait, smoothie, or açaí bowl, don't worry! They've got avocado toast, warm oats, wraps, and salads too! My favorite thing about S.O.U.L is that it's got soul! Everything is made with love and they never skimp on the quality of their shakes. You can definitely tell the difference between here and any old smoothie joint.

I planned a Valentine's Dinner for some friends at Mi Veracruz. We had a good turnout. I was happy…read morethat they had the room for us inside and outside. I chose inside. I believe they only had one Waitress. The lady owner was there as well. I had to get my own menu, I was served my margarita along with salsa and chips-but I had to prompt the Waitress for that. It's almost like she was not there at all. No chips and salsa for the other five or six people-all waiting for that. Slow............ The orders were finally taken and came out with good speed. The food is always good here. So, the low stars are that no one helped this young Waitress! She basically, "ghosted us". Several of us wanted dessert, including myself-to no avail. I had to hunt her down for our checks. I was so over the lack of service, I just wanted to leave. I made a phone call for an RSVP two days before last night. No rsvp's. They knew in advance that we were coming. One Waitress for the entire restaurant was wrong. I enjoyed meeting up with my friends on Valentine's Day Eve.

The atmosphere was inviting with a cool, free-seating policy and the ceiling art by various artists was captivating -- fish, anime, food, beach, etc. After being seated, it took only a few minutes before we received menus and were asked about drinks. I opted for the waffle combo with scrambled eggs and sausage patties. The waffle was slightly crispy on the edges, but the inner part was soft? Perhaps it had been sitting out a little too long? The eggs and sausage were good. Overall, it was an okay breakfast, but maybe next time, I might try their lunch or dinner menu.
