ValerEats, a Richmond-based Breakfast Food Truck, is making waves with its unique menu and dedication to serving delicious morning meals. Launched in August 2021 by owners Monica and Jayson Fuentes in memory of their late Aunt Val, this mobile eatery offers a diverse range of breakfast favorites, from classic burritos and sandwiches to the lesser-known Dutch mini pancakes called poffertjes.
A Unique Breakfast Food Truck Experience
ValerEats distinguishes itself as the only food truck in Richmond serving poffertjes. These bite-sized pancakes, a specialty item, can be enjoyed plain with warm syrup or customized with a variety of toppings such as Fruity Pebbles, crushed Oreos, strawberries, and condensed milk.
Beyond poffertjes, ValerEats boasts a menu filled with other tempting options. The Claire’s Texas Burrito, packed with scrambled eggs, cheese, homemade beans, chorizo, and salsa verde, delivers a unique and satisfying flavor profile. Another standout is Bubby’s B.E.C. Melt, a classic breakfast sandwich elevated with bacon, sausage, American and mozzarella cheese, all piled high on white bread. Both the burrito and sandwich are served with tater tots and Val’s signature sauce – a blend of sriracha, ketchup, and mayo.
Finding ValerEats: Your Mobile Breakfast Solution
ValerEats operates throughout Richmond, frequenting various locations, from hospitals like St. Francis and Johnston-Willis in the mornings to wineries like Jolene Family Winery and New Kent Winery in the afternoons, and even breweries such as Starr Hill Brewery and Tabol Brewing in the evenings.
