I was about to give up my search for soul food in the area, but once I seen this little gem hidden…read morein a tucked away parking lot behind a frozen ice cream shop, I knew I had to investigate. My senses were already tingling with the above characteristics of heaven's food. I definitely was not ready for what I was about to indulge in. The catfish paired with their garlic buffalo fried to perfection, the wings glazed in Vick's special sauce fried to perfection. Mac N Cheese so cheesy and seasoned you can't look at other Mac N Cheese the same. Jasmine rice so good you think an asian made it. Sipping it down with their true sweet tea makes a one two punch of soul flavors. Every order is made on the spot and even with a crowd already forming you know it's worth the wait. Which while you wait they kindly let you listen to some fire music from their speaker. It's safe to say I will be back.

Found this Food truck randomly on Instagram popup. Urgh I hate it that they food is so good and the…read moreservice is friendly. I was a little disappointed at 1st because they wouldn't take my order though IG dm because I didn't want to go order and wait but honestly it was Definity worth the wait because the food taste and texture was top tier even better then a lot of of other soul food restaurant. Update the next day went and got more food on Sunday. Location/ Ambiance 5/5 - Food truck in random parking lot with 1 building that supposed to get turn into the restaurant in couple of months. The truck and seem nice and clean from me looking in. Food 5/5 - Amazing, I couldn't sleep all night because I want more and normally it take me couples of weeks to write review. Deluxe platter 5/5 - $34 One lobster tail, Couple Shrimps and Catfish or Whiting of choice plus 2 side. - Omg heaven in my mouth, the seafood was nice and crispy and thinly coated in crispy batter full of flavors. It honest can feed 2 person the amount you get. It was so good I had to pull over at an empty parking lot. The lobster and Shrimp was cook perfectly and not over cook. The catfish was lovely as well and i love that they use real catfish and not swai fish . Side: Mac cheese 5/5 - perfectly Chessy and cream with right balance of cheese and perfectly al dente macaroni Side: Candie yam 5/5- Sweeten my soul and comforting not overly sweet and went you put in your mouth the aromatic is amazingly Side: Collard Green with turkey 5/5- Fill with savory flavor and Side: Seafood pasta salad 5/5 - Omg it was delicious and actually have crab meat in it not imitation with shrimp. Side: Rasta Pasta 5/5 - This is so good it should be turn into an entree as well. Creamy spice alfredo sauce with penne pasta. It so good even better then cheesecake factory Cajun pasta Side: Cabbage 4.5/5- Amazing buttery flavor cabbage. I am not sure if they over cook it or maybe I reheat for too long because it was a tad bit too soft for me. I like it too not overly over cook, but flavor was on point comforting Turky Chilli $5 - I am not a Chilli girl because I don't like bean but for some reason, the way they make it so good, and they don't put too much bean bit fill with flavor will out being oily Jerk Chicken with 2 side $20- 5/5 Omg i love that they don't use the cheap part of the chicken like drumstick. The wing didn't have grill flavor aroma like you normally get with Jerk chicken but oh the flavor was packing with a hint of spiciness, but the meat was soft and falling of the bone it was amazing with yellow rice. It safe enough for peoples who don't eat spicy. Chicken Curry with 2 side over jasmine rice $20 5/5- Ok this one threw me off the loop went I first open the box. I thought it was curry chicken with potatoes and carrot, but it had chickpea instead. I was nervous it wasn't going to be good but I was truly wrong. It was perfect combo, full with turmeric flavor and chicken boneless meat. It was savory an addicting Banana Pudding $6- I cry eating this in bed it was heavenly perfect bring back memories of ex grandma banana pudding. It was so good and not overly too sweet like magnolia or wegman banana pudding. I hope one day I can ask them to just make me a tray to devour on a weekend. The banana was fresh and a wafer had crunch Lastly, I got lemon cake, it was divine and not overly sweet with great lemony flavor. Overall I hated that I love this place because I was going to start my new year diet. I can't find nothing negative to say about the foods. You can taste the love they put in the cooking to fill the soul. I will probably be coming back every week

The tacos here are definitely culturaly authentic and delicious…read more I went with the tacos campenchanos. There is a flavor explosion when you bite into one of these. I also want to note that for the price and size of these tacos, I felt that I received a great deal. There was plenty of meat in these tacos and to top it off their salsa is delicious. This isn't that run of the mill prebottled stuff either. All fresh homemade recipes. I have had a few taco places from around this area and one of two things happened, 1) they were not authentic Mexican or 2) they were way over priced. To avoid those problems....visit this family owned truck. If you are looking for amazing food, come here. You won't leave disappointed.

Summer ain't summer without BBQ…read more Chef Derrick is an award winning BBQ pit master that knows how to control the heat of the grill to produce succinctly barbecued proteins that have you asking for a second plate. I ordered the burnt ends, collard greens and the unadvertised candied yams. And of course I had to take the banana pudding (that was made from scratch) to go. For the non meat eaters, you can order fried fish as the substitute for your plate. So the next time that your heading south on Route 1 in Northern Virginia, make a pit stop at Dyvine BBQ.

Definitely can't wait to eat at this food truck again!!!! Update- while this food tasted really good, the next day I had explosive gastrointestinal symptoms. I thought perhaps it could have been something else but I spoke to two separate neighbors, who ate the same dish that I had (the red beans and rice) that had the same unfortunate symptoms. I will not use this food truck again, because it certainly isn't worth the risk.

This is the second time that New Orleans Style Snow Balls have come to our building. They were…read morehere a couple of years ago. At the time, they brought a truck and would give out cups with ice, and you got to add the syrup you wanted. There was a dispenser on the outside of the truck that made it easier to choose what you wanted and how much. This time, they sent a small van, and the "snow balls" were put in the kind of takeout containers that restaurants use to pack rice. In other words, they were small. The young woman serving the "snow balls" was very friendly. She was also the one who applied the syrup to the ice. We both got cherry-flavored syrup. These snow balls are very refreshing, especially in the summer. While we would have preferred a larger cup, we couldn't complain, as this was a freebie for residents (well, these things are built into one's monthly rent).

Both were well made and had plenty of flavor. The cashier at the food truck was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. Their menu items can be a bit pricey but quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. I'm glad we tried The Frenchman out.

Fried chicken goodness on a brioche, plenty of jalapeno slices, cheese, and an aioli. The brioche bun was fluffy and did a great job of holding all of the flavor into bites. A side of fries that were great compliment to the richness of the sandwich. The sandwich was a great balance of spicy and buttery. No ketchup or other condiments needed.

We chose El Paso Mexican Restaurant in Dumfries for a coworker's going‑away luncheon, and it turned…read moreout to be a fitting spot for the occasion. It was more like a 3.5 out of 5. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, with plenty of space for our group to gather and celebrate. I ordered the wet burrito carne asada with queso on top. The portion was generous and the presentation inviting, but the burrito wasn't served as hot as I would have preferred. The carne asada leaned a bit overcooked, which took away from the tenderness I was hoping for. That said, the queso added a creamy richness that helped balance things out, and overall the flavors were enjoyable. Service was friendly and attentive, which made coordinating a group meal easy. Prices are fair for the portion sizes, and the restaurant's relaxed vibe made it a comfortable setting for our luncheon. Verdict: While the burrito could have been hotter and the meat more tender, El Paso delivered a satisfying meal and a welcoming environment for our celebration. It's a solid choice for casual group gatherings in Dumfries.

They used to cut them into much smaller pieces. It presented better this way with the larger pieces. Birria tacos were loaded and so was the kids taxi as well. Drinks were tasty and you can take to go if you don't finish. We were seated quickly and received our food pretty quick too. Parking can be a bit tough here if you have a larger suv. The spaces closest to the entrance are better for compact cars.
