Note: Unfortunately I'm going to be cutting down on partaking of food truck fare for a while because 1) I have that move coming up that I need to save money for and 2) I also wanna drop like 40 lbs and food trucks don't help. However if a new one (or Tasty Kabob (because I looooove them) is in the area I'll try it.
DC Food Truck Scene Where I've eaten so far: (Updated 6/22/2011)
Curbside Cupcakes (http://www.curbsidecupcakes.com/) Try their H Street. It's ah.mah.zing!
WhereSauca (http://www.eatsauca.com/) I am SO EXCITED to try their new Sauca Grill because everything I've had from here was excellent. (As of 6/22/2011 I still haven't tried their Sauca Grill.)
DC Slices (http://dcslices.com/menu/) Bacon on pizza. Enough said.
Lobster Truck (http://www.redhooklobsterdc.com/) Lobster. Enough said.
CapMacDC (http://www.capmacdc.com/menu.html) Must. Eat. More. Mac n' Cheese!
Fojol Bros. (http://fojol.com/about) --Butter Chicken? More like BEST Chicken. Okay, right that was lame but it's so good!
TaKorean (http://takorean.com/) Well I got sick after eating their food but I don't think it was their fault. I should NOT have eaten the Sirarcha sauce. I know that it causes problems. :(
DC Pie Truck (http://www.dangerouspies.com/) Crab and Cheddar quiche -- ah.mah.zing.
Yellow Vendor (http://chewbrew.com/2010/08/19/yellow-vendor-love/)
Sabora Street (http://www.saborastreet.com/menu) Their churros are without a doubt one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Meathead Mobile Eats (@wheresthemeat) -- Their Oink Oink made me fall in love with sandwiches all over again.
Carnivore BBQ (@carnbbq) Good pork but not as good as Meathead Mobile Eats. Lotsa meat if you're into that kinda thing.
Big Cheese Truck (@bigcheesetruck) --Good, but not worth $6.50 for a cheese sandwich no matter HOW gourmet the cheese is.
Tasty Kabob (@TastyKabob) -- I LOVE the lamb and I LOVE the chicken so I always get the combo. Their chickpeas are only okay. I've had better. 10 out of 5 yums.
PiTruckDC (@PiTruckDC) Okay, I get that it's $12 for a medium pizza pie but that crust is SO thick and delicious and I got three very satisfying meals out of it. So I think it's worth it even if shelling out $12 at one go is hard to swallow. Thank god their pizza isn't. I got their Western Addition – mozzarella, spinach blended with ricotta and feta, mushrooms, onions, garlic. This way I didn't feel half as bad for eating pizza. 4 yums.
Eat Stix (@eatstix) -- It was amazing what food tastes like after being grilled on an open flame. Obviously spices help but this was just amazing. It's really not that much food for $4 but to taste (everything) at least once is worth it. 3 1/2 yums.
Fry Captain (@FryCaptain) -- I have mixed feelings about this one. They said they'd be set up by 11:30. Apparently set up means parked. One guy was at the bank getting change, the other was getting the fryers ready and some random dude showed up 2 minutes before the started serving. We waited for FORTY minutes for them to open up for orders. Also, apparently getting your fries fried in duck fat is option for $1.50. I definitely did not want to spend extra on clogging up my arteries but apparently all the french fries are now fried in duck fat and you automatically pay the extra. I probably would have not gone if I knew that before hand. Things did get better after that though. The fries were pretty good. Not any better thanks to duck fat in my humble opinion. The dipping sauces are OUT of this world. I got the cilantro-lime aioli and it was freaking amazing! I wanted to dive into it and swim around for the rest of the day. Scratch that...the rest of my life. I also got the chocolate brownie milkshake. It was so thick and creamy that it took all my energy to suck it up the straw but it was worth it. My first sip had a brownie bit in it. So overall the bad service and really great food balance it out. 3 1/2 yums!
