Lily's Little Mexico

Hello and welcome back for another blog about All Things Food on Chincoteague Island, VA. I am so glad everyone is reading and enjoying this blog. Going out in town and having people come up to me and tell me how much they are enjoying learning about the food and restaurants in depth is awesome. As I told someone, I am just a fat girl who loves food and sharing it is always fun.

This week I am highlighting a special little food truck that will make you wonder if you are in Chincoteague, VA or a beautiful beach town in Mexico. I am talking about our very own Lily's Little Mexico. Lily's is a true authentic Mexican cuisine food truck. Lily and her staff are so sweet and always welcoming. Lily's has been a part of Chincoteague and a huge hit for several years now and is loved by visitors and locals alike. 

All the food is made to order with the freshest ingredients, freshly made and the right amount of seasoning to make your mouth want more. No matter if you want tacos, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas or any of the other amazing dishes on her menu, you will definitely be back to try everything on her menu. A favorite for many is her fresh homemade chips with salsa or guacamole, get there early though because they sell out. She also has a few of the Mexican specialty drinks like horchata. 

Lily's offers take out only but there are several picnic tables set up in the front of her food truck that makes dining outside on a beautiful sunny day a real treat. 

If you like Mexican food you definitely need to add Lily's to your list of must try places, because I know you won't be disappointed.

 Hi everyone, I have never created a blog before, but I have felt called to do this one. I started coming to Chincoteague in 1982 when my parents bought a place at Trails End. I hate to admit this, but the 17 year old me did not instantly fall in love with Chincoteague. I was eaten alive by the mosquitoes and attacked by the green headed flies. One thing that I always did love about Chincoteague was the dining. Oh I remember the Landmark Restaurant and Skippers All You Can Eat Seafood Buffet (I think they hated to see my family coming in the door). Island Creamery when it was Mr. Chocolates and their amazing ice cream and homemade waffle cones, oh and don't forget their fudge. Oh I remember all of the flavors. My dad loved to grab an oyster sandwich at the carnival or a bowl of New England clam chowder from Etta's (when it was where Mr. Baldy's is now). Oh those were the best days. I moved to Chincoteague in October 2019 and then the pandemic struck. I couldn't think of

 Hello Foodies, Sorry I go so busy once again and I am forgetting to share things here with you that I am sharing on Facebook. I will get that fixed here very soon. The biggest thing I do want to share and hope you can help us with is, the Beebe Farm, where Misty was raised is going up for sale and the Beebe Family has been given first dibs to the Museum of Chincoteague. The cost is $625,000 and needs to be raised pretty fast. I am sharing the link to the interview I did with Cindy Faith and if you are able to help, please do. This is a piece of Chincoteague's history that we can't lose. https://youtu.be/dLAvCFNvTwI

Welcome back for another blog about All Things Food on Chincoteague Island, VA. Well we are officially in our busy season and the island has come back to life with visitors, tourists and locals headed out to eat some of the best food ever on our beautiful island paradise.  Chincoteague has so many options for food but this week's post is one that is near and dear to my heart. When my friend Carmen and I started becoming regular visitors for the day in 2015 this food truck, now takeout restaurant was our go to, because from the first bite we fell in love. Our day trips to Chincoteague consisted of all day at the beach, early dinner at Pico Taqueria (to beat the dinner rush) and Island Creamery ice cream as we watched the sunset from Don Leonard Park and then it was back home to Seaford, DE until the next trip (usually the following week or two). This was our routine every trip without fail.  Pico Taqueria opened in the spring of 2015 as a food truck on Maddox Blvd and their populari
