ValerEats Food Truck Serving Breakfast Treats In The Streets

Meet my new breakfast favorite: MINI PANCAKES, aka poffertjes!! 😍🥞❤️‍🔥 Today’s Small Business Sunday Shoutout goes to ValerEats (@valereats_rva) which is a breakfast food truck that made their official debut last August in dedication of their late Aunt Val (see picture below). The owners, Monica and Jayson Fuentes, do pop-ups all over central VA and serve everything from breakfast burritos to sandwiches to mini pancakes! 🍳 And according to their Insta bio, ValerEats is the ONLY spot in RVA where you can find these “poffertjes” or mini Dutch pancakes! 🤯 It is considered one of their specialty items and you can choose to eat them plain with warmed syrup or deck them with an array of toppings like fruity pebbles, crushed oreos, strawberries, and/or condensed milk. 🍓



Pictured here are the Cinnamon Bun Style Poffertjes topped with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, cinnamon bun glaze, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. 😋🥣 They were so delicious, and the fact that they are bite sized makes them easy (and fun) to eat. 😝 I also ordered Claire’s Texas Burrito with scrambled eggs, cheese, homemade beans, chorizo, and salsa verde which was delectable and had such a unique flavor! 🌯 Lastly, I tried Bubby’s B.E.C. Melt with egg, bacon, sausage, and American and mozzarella cheese on white bread…basically the ULTIMATE breakfast sandwich! 🥪🥓🔥 The burrito and sammy both came with a side of tots as well as Val’s sauce: a mixture of sriracha, ketchup, and mayo. YUM!




It’s clear that ValerEats is a labor of love and definitely filled the void of a lack of breakfast options in the Richmond food truck scene. 👏 Follow along on their Instagram to keep up to date with their weekly schedule drop and potential weather cancellations. 🗓⛈ You can find them all over town from an early morning breakfast at hospitals like St. Francis and Johnston-Willis to a mid afternoon snack at wineries like @jolenefamilywinery and @newkentwinery to a late evening dinner at breweries like @starrhillrva and @tabolbrewing — so no matter for breakfast, lunch, or dinner…ValerEats will be there! Springtime means food truck season in my book, so be sure to check them out! 🥰🐣❤️
