Mangia Van Sofia
Mexican Street food
Mangia Van is among the most popular street food places in Sofia. Their concept is to change their location within the city, and at the moment, you can find their van on Patriarch Evtimii Street. You will recognize it by the bright and colorful graffiti art. There you will find authentic Mexican street food: delicious burgers, burritos, tortillas, and quesadillas. There are also options for vegetarians, as well as classic flavors, not only Mexican. This is a cool way to satisfy your hunger during a city walk while supporting one of the best developing street food places.
During the warmer months, you can also find Mangia Van at B-Eat, the street food park in the center of the city. And if you're traveling to the city's outskirts, check out their Mexican restaurant & store on Cherni Vrah Boulevard 107. Behind Mangia Van are culinary nomads whose main mission is to offer maximum fresh food, without ready-made products, and without compromising the quality of the products. They try to make everything by themselves - from sauces to pitas.
My favorites on the menu are the Burrito de Res, Veggie Burrito, Pulled pork burger, or the vegetarian one. They also offer all kinds of spicy sauces and toppings, just ask.

Q-ftetaria
Food classic not to be missed!
The meatballs are usually served with cabbage salad, lyutenitsa dip & fries. As a Bulgarian, I find kyufte to be a comforting dish that never disappoints.
