LaVerdad Cafe is certainly one of my favorite spots in the city. Chef creates amazing flavor profiles, meals and deals. Burnt ends, brisket and oxtails are all amazing. Sides, soups and tacos are top notch. Support this business you will not be disappointed!

Thank you all for catering for the cast of The Diary of Black Men stage play. I play the character Slick and I absolutely loved the food especially the burnt ends & brisket. Oh and the gouda Mac was good as well as the kale Apple salad! Thanks again for the hospitality!

Now that I've tried La Verdad Cafe multiple times, I can give an honest review! Through the lip smacking finger licking and grunting of several meals I can say absolutely DELICIOUS every single time??!!!! Those of you who know, KNOW I can cook so it's a well seasoned palate of flavor judgment! Where to begin?.... The Portions, The flavor, the textures, or the price? Let's start off with You get what You pay for and Then some!!! For the Record I've taken to just eating the whole meal with my hands (even the Mac n cheese and green beans) ? once I get started ???I forget the utensils and go caveman style!!!??? Every box meal I've tried, I haven't been able to eat in one sitting! There is SO much yumminess!!! The ribs are absolutely finger licking delicious, the brisket just melted and pulled apart so well in my mouth and the juiciness!!! The pulled pork was tender moist flavored well and paired well with the barbeque sauce. The chicken 1/4s have been consistent in size and flavor everytime as have been all the Portions! Omg!!! So the Mac n cheese!!!! Let me tell you my other half said this is the FIRST Mac n cheese other than my own from ANYWHERE OTHER THAN GIGIs that I've said I liked, and she's RIGHT!!!! whether you get the regular Gouda Mac n cheese or if your in the mood for something a little spicier to spice things up, they have a jalapeno version as well, both just as delicious! The baked beans will leave your mouth watering for one more bite they're so good!!!!! And don't get me started on the kale apple slaw!!!! It's amazing!!! Even if you don't like coleslaw ( like me) still give it a try you won't be disappointed absolutely loveed it!!!! The cornbread is like a vanilla cornbread cake, a delicious change up and perfect balance of a light vanilla aftertouch that just accented the flavor nicely. I've yet to get to dig into today's feast "Big Back Box Crew" but I already know what to expect! For $55 it's an enormous meal that we'll both have dinner tonight, and possibly lunch and dinner tomorrow as well!!! I can say I'm truly happy and blessed to find a Soulfood restaurant so close to my office! Warning: DO NOT I REPEAT TO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE OWNER EATING ONE OF HER BOXES ON FACEBOOK, (UNLESS IT'S WHILE THEY'RE OPEN), OR YOU'LL BE FIENDING LIKE I WAS UNTIL THEY'RE OPEN TO TRY IT!!!!! That first time having a three day wait from Sunday to Wed (Theyre only open Wed until 3pm & Thurs and Fri until 7pm) was absolute torture!!! It was Well worth the wait though!!! They definitely have not disappointed!!!!! Highly recommend you give them a

Best ribs in town. Her sauce is delicious. Mac and cheese was so cheesy. Nice kids at counter and Vivian the owner really cares. Great spot either way take out a few inside tables and some outdoor tables.

10/10.
Excellent food and wonderful, sweet service.
if you're lucky enough to get some oxtail, just get 2.
A dinner at LaVerdad Cafe is a real treat, worth every penny. Great job.

The food was sensational and the owner was very welcoming.
My first time visiting this establishment was last week. 13 min walk from where I’m staying how could I say no?
Soon as I walked in was greeted with a smile and all the smell goods coming from the kitchen. Being my first time there I was given a rundown on everything.
I decided to try some of the Tacos and got a Chicken Dinner OMG Woooooooo. Gave me them Auntie Helpings lol.
Went back on the 3rd because they had a special going on prior to holiday weekend. When I say they remembered my name and hoped I would return. Got me in the feels.
Definitely go and check them out Wednesday-Friday lunch - dinner time. It won’t give you a discount but say Sloan said the food was Awesome so you had to see for yourself
Ms. V is definitely over there DO’N WORK with her crew.
Parking: If you are former military you will see an all to familiar mobile kitchen trailer in the parking lot. You are in the right place

The food is Great when they are open and WHEN they have it!!! I have tried to patronize many times and have yet to eat from their new location as the hours are sparse and the food sells out before they open.

Very pleasant and clean atmosphere . Staff was friendly and professional . Service was fast . The food was delicious and the portion was plentiful , enough to share with 2-3 people. I ordered the oxtail dinner , the meat was well seasoned and very tender. 2 sides choices were mashed potatoes and baked beans both were very good and also the oxtails are set on top of seasoned yellow moist rice . I will definitely return eager to try more items on the menu. The meal also comes with a piece of cornbread and a free drink. I highly recommend the oxtails very meaty and huge

The rice bowl with pork, peppers and onions and "special sauce" was fantastic. Sitting outside in the pergola on a warm spring afternoon was a pleasant bonus. That the owner came out to check on us was especially satisfying. This place is really special. 5 solid stars.
