The ladies were so kind and helped us figure out how many items to order for the two of us. They were out of carnitas but the carne asada, chorizo, and chicken were all amazing. They also had empanadas (not on the menu) that were the best I’ve ever had. Everything came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Both the green and red sauces were great but I could have easily drowned everything in the red sauce! We will absolutely be back the next time we are coming through town.

Me and 2 buddies were in the area from PA motorcycle camping over at Kiptopeke. We saw this place on Google and saw the reviews and decided to stop. I really REALLY wish I didn’t live 7+ hours away. This place is truly deserving of every 5 star review. The woman at the counter (honestly cant remember her name) but she was kind and friendly as she was beautiful. You order inside the store and they make your order in the food truck. Talked with the girl in the truck and she said everything was her moms recipes (sweet old lady that was sitting outside). We ordered 10 tacos, 3 empanadas, the quesabirria tacos, drinks. The food was ready in less than 15 minutes and cost just over $50, which is a great deal considering the amount of food we got. We also ended up taking 2 things of wet

Really hits the spot after swimming around at the beach all day! The prices are amazing and the portions are huge. Only 10 mins from cape Charles and much more affordable than the restaurants around the beach. The eastern shore has THE BEST authentic Mexican food in Virginia. My first time coming here it’s definitely a 10/10 and I’ll definitely come again. Carnitas is the best

Very nice place that was opened when we needed it. Bilingual staff and authentic with fresh ingredients. Nice prices and quick. Wish they had a bathroom or portable toilet with a sink if you wanted to sit and dine in. No hand sanitizer either on tables. Nice area and pretty good system. Must order inside and pick up out the back. Nice staff and they take cards. Sad that the quesadillas were so small, had I known I would had gotten something else. Gorditas could be cut deeper as well for proper fill. Overall I recommend!
