Recently I had the joy of finding the little place on the main strip in Virgina Beach.  Its tucked away in a split building at 28th street and Pacific (Subway sandwich shop is right next door but do not let that steer you away).  As you walk, in you are greeted by the sounds of Puerto Rico coming from the radio and a smiling face from the waitress.  Its a small place with about 7 or 8 tables and about 6 seats at the bar.  They always have daily specials from Fish Tacos to Fresh Paella.  I always  start with an order of the Empanadas, its an order of three (one beef, one chorizo and one olive and cheese) accompanied by a tomato dipping sauce (which is amazing!!).  The waitress was very helpful with the menu.  I went and tried the "Pernil y Arroz", it is a roasted pork dish seasoned to perfection served with rice and vegetables.  A huge portion of tender pulled pork that tasted as if it has fallen from Heaven.  Since then, I have had the Fish Tacos (some of the best I've had) and then there is my new favorite item on the menu......."Churrasco con Chimichurri".  It is a marinated, seared skirt steak with a Chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.  It comes with Cuban style black beans and rice with veggies also.  It is so good you can not not help but savor each and every individual bite.  On the Menu you will find Tostones and Maduros, various sandwiches and also "Mofungo" (a mixture of green plantains, garlic, seasonings all smashed together, then mixed with either chicken, pork, beef or shrimp).  They always have fresh desserts listed on the chalk board (go with the Bread Pudding, you will not be disappointed).  Chef Tito really knows what he is doing and how to keep his customers happy.  So if your down at the oceanfront and your looking for a quaint little spot to get some outrageous food...........Mojito Cafe is it.  You might even find me enjoying some incredible food too.
