For months, my friend Jerald has been raving about lobster tacos at one of his usual watering holes – Baja Cantina. For only $2.50 a taco on Wednesdays, it’s a deal I couldn’t resist for long.

Melt Gelato and Crepe Cafe, located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach, was the recent location of chat fest with my friend Brandi. Neither of us have ever had crepes or gelato before so this was a completely new experience for the both of us.

Qdoba Mexican Grill, a Mexican chain restaurant, is one of the new burrito bars popping up in Hampton Roads. My love for burritos probably steams from my mom, who sometimes creates her own burrito bar at home on the weekends.

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.
