They did put out a single table for me to eat there, but it has nothing to offer in the way of ambience. Weather may also be a factor, and when I arrived at the post opening time they were still setting up. The reason I have a high opinion of the place is not any of those things, but that it offers the distinctive home-cooked taste of a cuisine that is not otherwise available in the region to my knowledge. It is vegetarian South Indian and most of the options revolve around lentils and spices. I sampled a preparation I hadn't had before of ildi, a steamed rice and lentil cake, with some mouthwatering spicy powder. My spicy dosa, which I made it clear I wanted really spicy, was indeed fiery, but also possessed the delightful crispness and mix of sour and savory flavors distinctive to this cuisine. I also note that sometimes the salt in sambar overwhelms me but I didn't have a particularly tough time here; the flavors of the spices were enough without the ridiculous oversalting that some restaurants do. It is a taste that I would be happy to come back for in the near term and I would try virtually everything they offer.

All of the food here is vegetarian, but she can cook these dishes with such a depth of flavor and perfection that even the most ardent carnivore will be blown away. We had the masala dosa, samosa chat, dahi puri, vegetable manchurian, and finished everything off with a magi lassi and an order of carrot dessert. everything was seasoned perfectly, with layer upon layer of flavor. There is a nice sitting area next to the truck where you can sit an enjoy your meal. please take an opportunity to venture to out to this incredible dining spot and let Sudha take your taste buds on an adventure.

The…read morefolks there were very nice and I thought they worked as fast as they could considering all of us wino's needing some serious grub! What we ate: Royale with Cheese - kobe burger, braised pork belly, farm egg, cheddar bacon jam (we needed more of that!), tomato, arugula, pickled onions, sriracha mayo; all on a challah bun. This also came with chips - they were nice and crispy, but needed some salt. Holy Smokes Taco - smoked tri tip, chiles, cheddar, pico de gallo, pickled onions, cabbage, huacaina, anticucho. All of that was served inside a naan-like tortilla with a side of chips. Angry tots - tots covered with Bruno's secret spices, anticucho and huacaina sauce It was all so good and we devoured all of it! We weren't necessarily interested in pairing all the food with an appropriate wine, so we went with Williamsburg's Governor's White. Good food, good wine, great event (I know, that's a different review altogether, but I digress). We should have had a Yelp Booth there. Maybe next year?

We do not know what's going wrong with the food on the truck. For the last few weeks it has been…read moreworse each time. We eat at the Parkway Brewery (awesome beer and atmosphere) at least once a week..Tonight was the last time we eat from the truck. The menu has deteriorated, in terms of sophistication and variety. The construction and quality has declined significantly. From no duck fat fries to three julienne strips of carrot referred to as slaw and now tortilla chip instead of hand made chips as advertised. Tonight we had the fish and the pork belly both extremely disappointing, not what we had enjoyed a few weeks ago. We loved this truck, this is very sad. We will take a picnic to the brewery, their beer is still worth the drive.

When I saw them I instantly parked my car and approached the truck. The menu looked really small, but they say they rotate their menu a lot so who knows maybe they won't have these items next time. I looked at the menu and saw that they had spring rolls! When I got to the window the lady at the register told me they ran out of the pork ones so I got three vegetarian spring rolls and a spicy tofu rice bowl! Service was really friendly. The food came out pretty fast. Now the overall meal was quite pricey even for a food truck. Each spring roll was $2 and the rice bowl was 8.99. So I brought it back to my place and was ready to chow down. I started with the spring rolls, and man were they good. I never had Thai spring rolls before so I was a little surprised, but they had noodles in them! Spring rolls I would say 5/5 a must get item. Now for the rice bowl it looked appetizing so I went in for the first bite and noticed I hit celery... It always shocked me when I ate Asian food how some places add celery to something. I am not a big fan of celery in Asian food so I took it out and kept eating. The sauce was spicier then I thought it would be. So I struggled trying to finish. What was amazing though was that green cilantro sauce they had. If I could I would just buy that sauce it is amazing! The tofu was also cooked well. I give the rice bowl probably a 3/5. Overall, I gave the rating of 4 because I just averaged the scores. I say if your going to this food truck, definitely get the spring roll. It is a little pricey, but out of the two items I thought the spring roll was far superior. I'll definitely come back to try their spicy pork rice bowl and the panang curry.

Overall: 3.5 stars Average food for a fair price with good…read moreportions. Heard great things about this food truck from other people but was not very blown away or overly impressed, however, look forward to trying other menu items. Food Quality: 3 stars Ordered the Spicy Pork Rice Bowl, which as AVERAGE. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The pork was cooked well, not dry/overcooked, and had plenty of kick from the spicy tomato sauce, but felt like it was missing something. Maybe not enough sauce? The cilantro-jalapeno dressing was good and I wish there was more, drenching the dish. All of this was over a bowl of white rice. The Spicy Pork Rice Bowl costs about $10 after tax, which isn't bad since it is deceptively filling. Although I probably won't try this menu item again, I don't regret trying it and look forward to trying their other items. Service/Experience: 4 stars No problems with the service/experience. They rotate their location throughout the New River Valley area, from Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford. They post their menu items and schedule on their website. The menu items posted on their website is their entire menu, however, they select a few items off that list to sell for that day. Food came out relatively quickly and the workers were friendly and helpful. They do accept credit/debit cards which is convenient. I visited the food truck when they were parked at the Auto Spa in Blacksburg, which has plenty of parking around the area.

This family-owned Mexican Restaurant is like no other that I've have ever seen before. The family…read moreis from Jalisco, Mexico, and after some time of sharing their native cuisine through their food truck, around March of this year, they opened this brick and mortar restaurant in the Southwest neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia. I literally found out about this place today, and immediately made plans to go visit for dinner. After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Birrieria La Vaca in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. Jalisco is a state in western Mexico. Known for its capital city, Guadalajara (the second-largest city in Mexico), and its cultural contributions, including mariachi music, charades (Mexican rodeos), the Mexican Hat dance, the wide-brimmed sombrero, tequila, and birria, a traditional meat stew. Its culinary scene is diverse, with dishes like birria (a savory meat stew) and tortas ahogadas (a pork-filled sandwich soaked in sauce) being local favorites. Sweet treats like jericalla is a popular dessert, similar to a flan or custard, with a slightly caramelized or burnt top. Tequila, made from the juice of the blue agave cactus, is Jalisco's best known product. The restaurant Birrieria La Vaca is located on 5th Street, Southwest Roanoke, in a renovated old building. Its front of the building is painted with a unique, dark, bright, red color, so you won't miss it when driving by. As you enter the first thing that catches you attention is their beautiful renovated original hardwood floors and a section of original tiles in great condition. Most of the walls are painted dark, bright red, with one dark red, and one white. The place is very clean with some booths and some tables and chairs, and even a counter area for ones dining pleasure. It has been modernized with two large screen TVs behind the counter. One is continously showing color images of the food from the menu, and the other shows a video with scenes of Guadalajara, Mexico. Then on the two side walls are two gigantic size screen TVs which at the time were showing a soccer game. It also had a modern TouchTunes Jukebox on one of the walls, with a touchscreen so you can select and purchase songs that will be played in the restaurant. When I arrived a friendly young lady with a big smile greeted and welcomed me to the restaurant. She took me to one of the booths and handed me a copy of the menu. Later I found out that she was not only my server but also the daughter of the owner. We talked a little about Jalisco, Mexico, the place where her family is from, and then after she brought me an Horchata that I had ordered to drink along with a glass of water, I ordered the Queso Fundido Con Chorizo appetizer to enjoy with my chips. And for my main course I ordered a California Burrito al Pastor (with marinated pork). The food was all amazingly delicious and different from other Mexican restaurants; they had that homemade flavor to it. Their chips were fresh and reasantly fried. Thin and tasty. Their salsa was a bit too watery rather than thick like in other Mexican restaurants. You could tell that the tortilla used to make the burrito was made in-house because of its flavor and texture. And the pork was seasoned to perfection. For dessert I had their traditional Jericallas. It was served in the aluminum container where it was made. Nothing fancy, but tasty and sweet. Before I left I got to meet the other daughter who also was working as a server, as well as a cousin of theirs who was visiting, and their father. I had a great time and an extraordinary dining experience. Definitely I would recommend this restaurant and I expect to return soon to try out more of the items from their menu.
