Bean and cheese pupusa
Brittanie M.

We heard about La Chiapaneca from a friend and decided to drive out to their food truck today. Our first impression was that it was super cute and the outdoor seating was full of personality. We like to try the birria tacos everywhere we go that has them on the menu; and these did not disappoint! We also ordered bean and cheese pupusa's, queso and chips, flan, and a pina fresca. Everything was amazingly fresh, flavorful, and delicious.

The food has arrived!   Taco on right, plantains on left

Driving through on the way south in 29, stopped in for a quick lunch. Wow. We will be back! Everything was fresh and tasty and the portions were good. The tables are cute, and the outdoor setting made it feel like a party. Highly recommended. The 6" super taco was great - ate some of it with a fork and was then able to pick up. The plantains were among the tastiest I've ever had!

Pupusas revuelta
Su Q.

We had just got into town and we heard this was the place to go for birrias tacos and Pupusas. We arrived and they made the stuff within I would say less than Thirty Minutes. The ambiance was really nice to bad it was cold if not we would of stayed there to eat. This a place I definitely definitely recommended

Taco Birrias, large esquite and tacos de carnitas.

Amazing food! The service was a bit slow but the taste of food and the atmosphere was so outstanding that we didn't mind the waiting.

Taco Supreme

A weekend trip to Culpeper. Cute outdoor seating. The food truck is well decorated and matches the colorful bench and tables. The food is soooo good!!! We will be back on our next visit.

Birria tacos

I like the food truck location as well as the brick and mortar. Ive had the birria tacos twice which was good however this time they weren't very flavorful and the consume was very greasy with meat fat at the top. The elote is amazing from this place so I always get a side of it. The pupusas are OK...I've had much better and wouldn't recommend them from here unless you have no other option. The carnitas tacos are really good and come with plenty of meat. The cheese fries are great too! The menu is pretty large so there's plenty of options to choose from.

I love the food here. I have been multiple times and everything has always been delicious, fresh tasting, and authentic. Food is served quickly. The only negative thing I have to say is that the music is always WAY too loud. I went with three other people and we could barely talk to each other. Seating is limited too. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Fries with torta Cubana
Laura Y.

Food truck with brightly painted covered picnic benches set the ambiance at this delicious location. It's incredibly difficult to find real Mexican food, but this truck delivers! I got three shrimp tacos and hubs got the torta Cubana. We waited maybe five minutes for our food to be ready. The shrimp tacos were bomb: real corn tortillas that were warm and pliable while sturdy, slaw, a ripe slice of avocado and 4-5 delicious, perfectly sized shrimp. It came with a tasty red sauce with *real* heat and green sauce that was deliciously mild but flavorful. Oh, and a ripe, juicy slice of lime. The torta Cubana was enormous and came with a robust serving of fries with delicious spices on them. There was too much between the very fresh slices of bun/bread/torta for me to list, so refer to picture. Hubby says he definitely recommends it, and it was more than enough for a meal. Porta-potties are there in case you're wondering . If you like real Mexican foood that's fresh and cooked with love at a super casual outdoor dining setting, this place is for you. I'll definitely return to try other menu items.

Best tacos I've had since my dad took me to a hole in the wall place in Los Angeles Ca in the early 1980's.

Was in the area with some family. And it was dinner time and I was in the mood for some food. Never…read morebeen here and didn't think to come here everytime I've been near it until last night. I was walking nearby and a group of guys passed me and walked inside. And for some reason at that particular time in the moment In that very second it hit me. Go check it out. Let me tell you all I'm glad I did. I went in scoped the place out thinking get something. Try it out, yelp it. I watched the guys order these soup bowls and I looked at the menu above behind the ordering station with the cashier. They guys ordered soup dinners instead of burritos or tacos I thought, ok must be good I was thinking. It looked very authentic on the menu. I walked up and wanted to try something simple and small not a soup yet had to peak my interest with the taste buds ya know what I'm saying. So I was wanting a burrito, I asked the cashier gentleman questions what goes inside, how is it, what's it come with like sides and all. He told me asked me what meat I wanted for the burrito I was ordering, I said ground beef, he said they don't have that, closest thing would be the steak. I'm not going to lie when I heard no ground beef I was going to say cancel on my order and I was going to leave. I was upset, hearing no ground beef as an option. But I stood there with the thought get the steak option that he offered, do it. Just do it. Say it. And I did, I kept the ordering going. I ordered the steak meat especial burrito. And omg it was fantastic! I fell in love with this place. I definitely recommend this place. If you ever walk into a restaurant and are not up for taking chances, well screw that, break the boundaries take the extra step surprise yourself. You may be shocked and confused on what you have missed. You may actually find something that makes your taste buds happy. Enjoy take a leap of taste. Wink Wink

We came in for lunch on Sunday after church as we thought their special menu for the Harry Potter…read moreevent was really fun. Upon entering we were hit with what smelled like marijuana and we learned when leaving that there is a hookah lounge beneath this restaurant (extremely unfortunate!) The place has been renovated since the Thai restaurant was here and it was nice and bright and clean looking. There was only another party of 4 there when we entered and then another couple came in after us but it was very empty. We were greeted by a gentleman who brought waters for us and then took our orders. I ordered the Voldemort sandwich and my husband ordered the Potter wrap as well as the BlackBerry lemonade. Both sandwiches came with fries. The sandwiches were good but my husbands wrap was very small and mine was light on meat. The fries were nice and crispy and the blackberry lemonade was delicious. There was light rock music playing softly, ambiance was nice. All in all a good experience aside from the smell which was giving my husband a headache. I would probably return for dinner one night. I was trying to decide between giving this place 3 and 4 stars and opted on 4 because it's new (they have food trucks but the brick and mortar is new) and they're still getting things right and the fact that we came for lunch instead of dinner so the menu was very limited and I felt like maybe I wasn't getting the full experience.

So...this place looks pretty uninspired from the street, and the interior could use some warming…read moreup, but the food was some of the best we've had in Culpeper. They brought us amuse bouche of beet hummus and pita bread (on the house), and we then had the "beef sashimi" as an appetizer. I'm not usually into super rare beef, but this was outstanding. The beef melted in my mouth and the sauce and greens complimented it well. For the main course, I got the pork ribs, which may be the best I've had in my life. They came with a tangy barbecue sauce on the side, which was delicious but not really necessary given the flavor of the pork. Plenty of food, high quality, and good service! If they just tweaked the lighting and added some homey touches, they would have a line out the door. As it was, we were the only guests on a Friday evening. A shame since Culpeper has very few excellent restaurants, and the ones that exist are generally overpriced. We will definitely be coming back again!
