I expected so much more. So I ordered the carne asada fries and it wasn't carne asada it was more like ground beef that certainly worth $12. My friend has the tacos and she said her tacos at home are better. Even the bowl was just ok. Definitely not representative of Puerto Rican food at all. How can the food be both salty and flavorless. They really need to work on their protein cause the base of delicious food. read more

I haven't had many "true" food truck experiences w/ real meals. Sure, I've had cupcakes and pizza (which was amazing and didn't realize it was food truck material at the time). This day I was fixated on food truck chasing so, I did and was very pleased. Four of my co-workers caught wind of my plans and followed suite. Not sure how location and placement are determined. This was a Thursday. Location was Lake Wright Drive tucked away in a GATED parking lot. I found out later all of my co-workers had difficulty finding food truck too but, still worth it! I ordered the Tripleta to go. It came with chips. I normally like VERY spicy food. This wasn't spicy but, I LOVVED IT! A lot of flavors and A LOT of TENDER meat! I'm thinking the tortillas had to be homemade as they were not like any tortilla I've ever had! THREE meats... Chicken, pork, and ham. The slaw was made perfect! Not too sweet nor too tangy. This dish was perfect! All of my co-workers were so happy with their dishes too! Two ordered the pernil & empanadas. Another ordered the Cubano. Now, I know I saw a pic of the Cubano w/ bread. This time it was served w/ a tortilla. My co-worker wished it was on bread too but, said it was still verrrrry good! Gotta stalk Sofrito more as there are other menu items I want to try! Kudos!! read more

I'm really excited about the food truck movement in Hampton Roads! Caught Sofrito while they were at one of the neighboring buildings in my office park a couple of weeks ago and was not disappointed. I had an Arroz con Pollo bowl, which was absolutely OUTSTANDING. The bowl can be misleading because it seems like it's small. But it is PACKED with food and it is delicious! Everything was fresh and flavorful. I couldn't even eat it all. That might have been because I started with an empanada. LOVED every bite of that as well! One of the best surprises, though, were the two fried plantains in the bowl. One of my faves! I also have to give them props for offering Mexican Coke! Seriously... it's the real thing. Will definitely be on the lookout for Sofrito for another great lunch! read more

Sofrito - Fried plantains in the bowl! I LOOOOOVE fried plantains!!! - Food Trucks Near Me

Not bad for my first "Virginia Beach food truck experience." Not 100% what I expected, but it'll definitely do. We went to this event called "Eat the Streets 757", which happens the third Tuesday of every month at the Virginia Beach MOCA, right near the oceanfront. A handful of food trucks gather, and you get your food, and enter the museum, and in the big (pretty) lobby, there are tables set up for folks to sit down and eat at, and there's also a band playing. We both chose to order from Sofrito - everything on the menu looked awesome! I had the Cubano - Cuban sandwich (pork, ham, mustard, pickles - pressed sandwich) and for my side - rice and beans with bits of potato in it!) That was probably my favorite part of the meal, my side. The sandwich wasn't bad either. My boyfriend was a bit disappointed with his Tripleta Burrito ("Three meat monster filled with pork, ham, chicken, queso blanco, crisp potato sticks, cabbage & tripleta sauce.") He said it wasn't hot enough, and I agreed after having a bite, and also thought it lacked seasoning. For his mac & cheese side, we both agreed that it tasted like they forgot the cheese! It even looked like "plain, just cooked, noodles!" I give it a 3 because of my order; for his, I'll let him review/rate it on his own. :) Again, I totally loved the rice & beans! read more

I loved the idea of this food truck, but the food was extinct of the staple tastes often found in Puerto Rican/ Latin food. Where was the Mexican Mint, Cuban Oregano, Cilantro, Sazon, and most importantly, Sofrito...of which the establishment is named after? I wanted to sample a little of everything so I ordered the chicken tacos, and a pork filled empanada. The tacos had little, if any taste! Same with the empanada; the shredded chicken on the taco tasted identical to the pork. The Cubano sandwich, ordered by my wife, was a bit more tasty, and the bread was ideal for a typical Cubano. This came with a side of Plantains, which were ok, but nothing to rave about. Step it up Sofrito! I'll be back! read more

I didn't want to give this food truck 1 star because I love the concept of food trucks. But these were the worst tacos I've ever had. I love Hispanic food and tacos to be specific and these were thrown together in 30 seconds. They advertised using corn tortillas & sofrito seasoning and made them using flower tortillas & zero seasoning, they were made with $0.02 lettuce & picante salsa that you get in a jar. I paid $12 for 3 tacos and literally went back to the food truck after leaving the festival just to get tacos and I could have gotten better seasoned food from Taco Bell. The food reflected that of the people working there, they hate their job and it shows in the food unfortunately. Would not recommend if given the option for something else. If they updated their recipe I would 100% try them again but these tacos are made in the cheapest way possible just to make a profit. read more

Puerto Rican food's on the move with Sofrito. Having tried them twice now, I'd say it's hit or miss. Once, the Cubano wasn't really toasted and super greasy, but the pork had a lot of flavor and was tender. Recently, it was seemingly the perfect panini; however, the crunch was there but the pork was bland and got stuck in my teeth. Other menu items include: the ranchero, which is a panini with honey turkey, chipotle mayo, queso cheese, ranch, and applewood bacon. They serve the sandwiches with plantains (which are solidly good), rice and beans (hatedit), or chips. They also have traditional rice bowls, empanadas, tacos, and chicken tortilla stew. This was my first time trying Puerto Rican cuisine, so I don't know how right it is. But I will definitely re-visit this food truck when they're on my block. read more

Sofrito - SO GOOD!!! Two chicken tacos w/cocacola! - Food Trucks Near Me

I hardly ever rate a FIVE star! This food truck is everything I have been looking for in VA. The line at the festival moved pretty quick and they take all forms of payment. The food is super favored and decent-size portions considering you are ordering from a food truck. I absolutely love Spanish food and I was impressed with the food and service. read more

Sofrito - Truck was parked up at the Latino Festival. Line moved pretty quickly and the food was seasoned well and tasty! - Food Trucks Near Me

Every Thursday we have different food trucks come to our work site in Chesapeake. By far this was the worst truck to come. I had 2 beef tacos an a chicken bowl. The taco was cold the chicken in the bowl tasted spoiled. It only took 5 seconds for my meal. No carry out trays took my food uncovered. I'm upset I wasted my lunch time an my money. I make tacos at home better then this crap. Salsa came from the jar no authentic what so ever! Threw the whole meal away. Please don't come back this was a complete rip off!! read more

I had my first Cuban here and it was great! The bread was crispy but soft inside, the meat was tender and flavorful and the pickles, mustard and I think relish complimented the pork and ham so well. Service was quick and friendly! Unfortunately the fryer died so I couldn't try the plantains but hopefully I'll get to next time. They also have glass bottle Fanta which just made the experience all the more delightful! read more

Sofrito - Cuban - Food Trucks Near Me

Not bad. Not bad at all. Ordered a Cubano as it seems to be their specialty sandwich and it tasted delicious! The panini was toasted just right, and the pork had just come out of the grill so extra points for its flavor as well as quickness. A bit too greasy for me, but I'm just picky that way. Not sure if worth all $8 but hey, it's a food truck, so don't expect much less. At least not for decent quality food. And a decent portion. The menu seemed very limited which has its pros and cons. If you're only doing a few items, you bet they're gonna be good to amazing! read more

I was very excited to see this food truck last night. My dad is Puerto Rican and I love me some food truck. The menu was limited to tacos for this event and they were adequate. Service was terrific. I'm sure I haven't had their best yet, so I'm looking forward to trying them again in the future. read more

We were blessed with their presence at work a few weeks ago and despite them being out of chicken, empanadas and rice (my fault for waiting so late to head out) I still got something that was totally delectable. I don't even recall what all was in my wrapalicious hillbilly but if they're ever in your neck of the woods, you won't be disappointed by the hillbilly! read more

Every Thursday, there is a food truck outside one of the building's in the executive park where I work. Sofrito was not the first one I had, but so far it is the best. Often times, I am disappointed by the portion size-to-price ratio, but that is never the case at Sofrito. The Barbacoa Burrito is one of my favorites. On their most recent visit, I had pork tacos and a beef empanada with a delicious dessert called a "quesito" and a Mexican Coke. If this is the path to Type-2 Diabetes, then it's a journey I am more than willing to take. The service is fast and friendly, the prices are very reasonable, and the food is delicious. I don't think there's much more you could ask for in a food truck. My only wish is that they would park in front of my house a few nights a week. read more

I LOVE Sofrito! They usually come to the Food Truck Rodeo at Whole Foods and no matter how many other trucks or carts are there...I eat at Sofrito. Their roast chicken and pork are so flavorful. Everything they serve is perfectly flavored. I love it so much sometimes I get two meals so I can take one home for later! The man and woman who own the cart are always so nice which just makes the entire experience just that much more enjoyable. If you can track them down you will not regret eating there! read more

This was my first time going out to Hump Days on the Chesapeake Waterways. Based on the menus for the evening, I selected Sofrito. Aside from the delicious food descriptions they also offered Mexican Sprite and Coke. This is always a treat for me. I ordered a mix & match of the Mojo Taco and Empanada, both chicken. The Mojo Tack was awesome. The flavor of the chicken in combination with the cabbage and sour cream. Loved it. The Emapanda was fried to a beautiful golden brown. The meal had been served with a red sauce. It was slightly sour with a slight kick. After my first bite into the empanada I realized the sauce must be for it as it was blander. This time around I was not wowed. It was good. I felt the chicken was a bit dry. The fried tortilla was delicious. I would try Sofrito again as they have rice bowls and a ton other things to give a whirl. read more

I am pretty sure I stalk this food truck. While that sounds a little creepy, taste their food and you'll understand my chosen lifestyle. There are many food trucks in the area, but this one seems to remain true to who they are. The food is delicious, and the staff is great. The chicken tacos are full of flavor and spice making every bite a mouthwatering experience. And the nachos, I don't even know what words would be able to describe these. Each ingredient stood out on their own and yet somehow they all came together in one beautiful masterpiece. I am pretty sure every time I eat with them, it is an religious experience. read more

absolutely scrumptious empanadas and the loaded carne asada fries were incredible!! 10/10 customer service as well!

This has become my favorite food truck! At this point I've had the chicken nachos, empanadas, tacos, and a chicken, plantain and rice bowl. The plantains are amazing and are sweet and cooked perfectly. I think you get a lot of food for the price. It may look small but the bowls are deep and stuffed! The food is full of flavor and consistently cooked well. Some things take a little longer to prepare like the empanadas, but they really work hard to get the orders out quickly. read more

This was my first Sofrito experience but I assure you it won't be my last. The line was very long but moved quick and was well worth the wait. I tried the combo plate which included a chicken taco--which alone was absolutely wonderful and the next time I will order three; an beef empanada which was also very good with a very crispy crust though the beef could have used a little more seasoning and the beans and rice. I was in no way disappointed with the meal. The truck ran out of plantains so I can only image they were pretty good also. I loved by Fanta orange in the glass bottle. Can't wait until they return again. read more

We had Sofrito's Food Truck cater my 40th birthday and it was awesome! The manager was super easy to work with. The process of reserving the truck for the special day was easy and the payment process was easy. They showed up right on time in our driveway, with a ton of amazing food and a nice variety for everyone. I didn't have to do anything but eat! They brought it all. I highly recommend them for your next bash - wedding, birthday, or any other party. read more

Visited today during Sunday Funday at Mt. Trashmore. The Cubano was excellent. Pork was great and bread toasted to perfection. My picky son had the chicken taco and beef empanada, he loved both. We can't wait to see this good truck again. read more
