La Rancheria Seafood & Caguamas — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

If you like South American cuisine and well cooked seafood, just go. This unassuming restaurant tucked in to a strip mall will delight your tastebuds. We shared several smaller plate items and loved each. The fish & shrimp emanadas had the perfect envelope to hold the savory well seasoned mixture of fish and shrimp. Shrimp/Mahi Botana had a very light breading, perhaps the least greasy fried food I have ever enjoyed with a piquant dipping sauce. Oh, OH! Speaking of SAUCE. Our gracious server, Jasmine, asked if we wanted spicy. She brought us a separate in house habenero sauce condiment that may sound scary, but it is really only medium hot with a complex combination of flavor that keeps you wanting more. We took some away with us for later scheming on all the things we would put it on. Tuna tiraditos came with more of an Asian twist - and that was quite fun. A giningery, drizzle of of sauce over tender tuna was a satisfying surprise. My wife said the shrimp tacos were some of the best she had ever enjoyed. Jasmine says they have been open 4-months. So, if you are looking for a new place to try, you won't be...

I craved Oysters and just googled the closest place to me. Definately my mix latino food restaurants from now on, for several reasons: great athmoshere, fast, friendly and profesional service, amazing taste: frash&flavour. I had the oysters and had to take something else to go, that's how good they were. Empaladas are totaly worth it too(that's what ended going home with me), I'll keep going to have more of their dishes. For spicy hot lovers, make sure you have their house spicy souce. Pation fruit mojito was the bast I had so far on the mainland. Many thanks to my host Valentina, she made my experience outstanding!! See...
