Virginia is famous for its regional fare, ranging from comfort food classics to fresh seafood. Finding Mexican and SoCal-inspired cuisine is a bit more challenging. But, thanks to places such as Frank’s Monster Munchies Cantina in Hampton, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled to these very destinations.

HAMPTON-Fans of Charlie Timms' food truck, Frank's Monster Munchies, have something to celebrate. After attracting a following by setting up shop at local breweries and special events in Hampton Roads for the past five years, Timms held a soft opening for his first brick and mortar restaurant, Frank's Monster Munchies Cantina, on Thursday, March 30. Located in the Tide Mill Shopping Center, where Tide Mill Seafood was previously located, Frank's Monster Munchies moved into the storefront next to Cuttin Up Barber Shop.

Charlie and Theresa Timms have operated the popular Frank's Monster Munchies food truck for five years but moved its Frankenstein-themed menu to a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Hampton last month.

Charlie Timms, owner of Frank's Monster Munchies Cantina, has operated a food truck since 2018 and found himself working at any local brewery and big events. He said, however, that it was hard to find places to serve up his tacos and burritos in Hampton.

Frank's Monster Munchies is a truck you don't forget once you've seen it. For around three years it has been a hulking green-and-black machine roving the breweries of Hampton Roads, adorned on its front with multiple versions of the stitched-up face of Frankenstein's monster.
