El Pollo Loco, a Mexican grilled chicken fast food restaurant chain that’s very popular on the West Coast, has finally made it to Hampton Roads! The restaurant we visited was new and hospital clean. I was surprised to find the salsa bar that was very neat and the ingredients weren’t mixed together inadvertently. Another thing to mention was the staff at the Norfolk location were very nice, and not at all like your stereotypical fast food workers.
I first was introduced to AW Shucks during a Norfolk bar crawl in the Ghent area. They offer fresh seafood at very reasonable prices for both lunch and dinner.
I was invited to Buffalo Beach for a friend’s birthday. I heard good reviews about their selection of wings, so I was game to try it out!
I had my first taste of Colombian food at El Desorden at the suggestion of my brother’s girlfriend, who happens to be Colombian. I’m always game to try out new food, especially when I have someone who can make suggestions.
I love carbs — unfortunately to the dismay of my personal trainer. It is my weakness, my kryptonite. So when my brother asked me where I wanted to eat, we decided to try out Carraba’s (a nationwide Italian restaurant chain). I ordered the linguine with clams and my brother got ti piace pizza (a build your own style of pizza) with Italian sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms.
