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.

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.

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!
