    Best Empanadas I've Ever Had -- Hands Down If you're reading this and thinking "How good can an empanada really be?" -- you haven't been to Mami's. I've eaten empanadas all over -- in restaurants, food trucks, homemade -- and nothing has ever hit like these did. The crust was perfectly crisp and golden, the filling was rich and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh and made with love. It's the kind of food that stops you mid-bite just to appreciate how damn good it is.

    This small business ran by a lovely couple that serves Latin fusion gourmet empanadas, that are the top 5 empanadas I've had. I would say 5-6 inches thick empanadas that's not too heavy or greasy, but filled with flavor and comes with a side of sauce for each flavor. Ambiance depends on the next pop. 1 is enough for a quick bite but you'll be wanting a second one. Order and service were friendly and quick. Check out their insta to find out where they will be next. Highly recommend the cheesesteak empanadas.

    The veggie empanadas are super delicious. It's flaky with a nice amount of veggie to crust ratio. The sauce was an added bonus.

    If you love burritos, you need to track down The Coop food truck. Hands down my favorite food truck…read morein Virginia Beach! I stopped by during their pop up at Farmhouse Brewery and, once again, they did not disappoint. One thing you need to know: their burritos are massive. We're talking "the size of your head" big, so come hungry or be ready for some epic leftovers. The menu is small and focused (usually around four burrito choices), but every single one is packed with quality ingredients and flavor. The Coop spends most days serving on base, but keep an eye out for their local pop-ups. They're always worth chasing down. This time around, I ordered the Pepper Jack Chicken Burrito which was grilled chicken breast, maple bacon, melty pepper jack cheese, and their signature Coop Sauce, all bundled up in a warm tortilla. Every bite was the perfect balance of hearty, savory, spicy, and just a hint sweet from the bacon. Their Coop sauce is one of a kind. Tangy, and delicious. I'm sure adding an egg would take it to the next level (that's an option on all burritos). My friends had the Breakfast Burrito! This one comes with fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, juicy sausage, more of that craveable maple bacon, herby potatoes, and (of course) the signature Coop Sauce. They raved about every bite. I appreciate that The Coop keeps things simple with their streamlined menu and focus on top-notch burritos. Whenever I see them around town, I make it a point to stop ... even if there's a line, it moves fast and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're looking for a new lunch favorite or just crave seriously great street food, The Coop is a true gem on the Virginia Beach food truck scene. Can't wait to catch them at their next pop-up!

    We missed them a couple weeks ago when they came to Pine and Porch in E City, but after reading the…read moremenu we knew we had to go to them the second they returned. Saw they were coming back and cancelled our leftover plans to head to Pine and Porch, they were set up and taking orders when we arrived at around 6 and service was super kind. We ordered the Bulgogi Fries, Steamed Shitake Dumplings, a Spam Musubi, and the Maui Wowie Cheeseburger. WE ARE IN LOVE. It was my first spam musubi, a simple but incredible flavor bomb and should have gotten 100 of them, is that legal? The marinated and sauced up ribeye on the bulgogi fries was so friggin flavorful and the fries were oh so crispy. I don't want to talk about the burger, because if I do I might get emotional, GET THE BURGER smashed, burnt ends and still juicy topped with the bacon jam, the cheese, the fried onions no sauce needed it's perfect as is. I'm sorry I didn't take a photo of the burg, I was hungry, you'll have to trust it was very pretty to look at. The dumplings were the perfect side to contrast our fried heaven and the chili crisp was flavorful and electric. Anyways, can't wait to come back for bowls so we can hit up the rest of the menu.

I never heard of them before so I was interested to see what they had to offer. They are Asian-Pacific cuisine. They had burgers that were Asian inspired, pork belly bun, wings, bowls and etc. I ordered pork belly buns, bulgogi chicken bowl and fries. Pork Belly - the buns were soft and pillowy. The belly was seasoned so good, tender and yummy! The best I've had!! Bulgogi Chicken bowl- chicken was well marinated that reminds me of like a Japanese BBQ soy sauce based. It had a nice cooked char to it. Chicken thighs were used making it tender. This was so YUM! Fries- were the crinkly ones salted nicely lol Customer Service- was the best!! Very friendly and kept you informed how much longer your food will be. They give you a buzzer so you don't have to wait around the truck. The owners were awesome. They post on their website of where they will be so if you see them, please stop by and check them out. It's worth it!

    At a north-Norfolk brewpub, we had delicious generously-overstuffed tender Los Birria Brothers beef…read morebirria tacos on grilled doubled corn tortillas, with fresh cilantro and bright crisp diced onions. The melt-in-your mouth beef is slow-cooked in succulent red sauce and richly flavored broth. The tortillas taste great in their own right, nicely grilled with some cheese in there somehow. The tacos were served with plenty of amazing consommé for dipping or just pouring over each slurpy bite! Yum! I see they also have shrimp or chicken birria, and birria everything: tortas, quesadillas, burritos, even 12-inch birria pizzas, birria dogs, and birria-smothered fries! I splashed the consommé too much, and that dipping sauce may never come out of my shirt :-), but it also makes a wonderful cologne! They have soft drinks including tamarindo and horchata. They have traditionally-seasoned elote corn (in a cup). And churros if you somehow have room for dessert. The price for the beef tacos is around $18 for my lunch, reasonable for a huge amount of scrumptious food. And Wow! These are some of the best beef birria tacos ever!

    This was a food truck that came to Farm House Brewery on Kempsville Road…read more I was excited to see them posted on Farm House Brewery instagram seeing as it Tuesday I thought they would have a taco Tuesday special. I ordered the tacos birria (cheesey tacos birria). One main issue is no prices listed. So it was sticker shock when you order. I feel the food is very high priced for what you get. $19.00 for Tacos birria with rice is high. I could go out and get them at a restaurant and get free chips and salsa for less money and water. The tacos weren't bad the dipping sauce for the birria didn't really have any flavor. The rice was okay very bland in flavor as well. The rice wasn't hot it was lukewarm. The wait time was a little long I waited 20 minutes for my food. There were 5 orders before me. I'm on the fence as to whether I would go back. It depends if they start listing their prices and if they offer a Taco Tuesday Special. I typically go get tacos on Tuesday and find them for $3 or less.
