“It's a food truck and typically you'd go and grab your food and leave. However, there were chairs out there. I would use some of those generated revenues for more tables.

The food is good, but could be better. The service wasn't the fastest but they were short staff. All in all i enjoyed my experience. If they're ever in the northern virginia area. I could see myself stopping by again!“

“Just went in to check out the food, and ended up ordering the chef's bowl (lettuce, rice, chaufa, pico, potato, guacamole and brisket. It was tasty. The brisket was tender and had some flavor. The potato could use a hint of salt, but overall, it was good. We also tried the shrimp empanadas, they were nicely fried, creamy on the inside, overall pretty good. The yuca fries were nicely fried, but had no seasoning.
They're very light with the seasoning, but I'd come back to try more of the menu.“

“In my opinion, Benito’s Place has some of the best papusas in the city, but the rest of the menu shouldn’t be ignored either! Fried plantains and bistec were also great choices. Staff is friendly. My only complaint is that several customers were watching videos on their phones in the restaurant without headphones, which was loud and disturbing. I would expect staff to politely handle that kind of situation.“
