Best Food Trucks in Washington DC

Nothing like a perfect day spent in our Nation's Capital. Strolling the National Mall and taking in the massive marble political monuments is an experience to remember. If you can catch it in spring when the cherry blossoms are out it's particularly magical. Washington DC is one of the most visited cities in America: with world class art, food and entertainment. The District seems to be in constant fluid motion, as political elite gather at lunchtime to dine and talk shop, and lawmakers meet at happy hour to have a drink after a tough day on the hill. Residents here appreciate the finer things in life, and that is especially evident in the restaurant and bar scene. World renowned chefs and mixologists expertly combine freshly sourced ingredients, making for incredible culinary and beverage experiences. The food truck scene here is an extension of this excellence, and foodies in DC are going to be seriously impressed! The District was quick to the scene when it came to food trucks, and now there are a plethora of them here. If there's one thing that both parties can agree on, it's delicious food.

Food was good. Just wish they would prepare the food before sending message that order is ready. Nurses can’t wait around very long, we have patients waiting for us

Preordered online for 12pm on a busy Monday. We never received an order ready text so we went down at 12:30pm and they made it for us then.

It was amazing! I don’t like a lot of salt on my fries so I was worried when I saw him dousing them with seasoning. Haha! No need to worry it was perfect flavor not too salty! Wow

Ordered guacamole & chips. Very small container of guacamole with decent amount of chips. Not enough guacamole for amount of chips. Definitely not worth $5.99

It was high quality food for a food truck. I got the chicken tenders and fries. And the chicken was well seasoned as well as the fries. Way better than a fast food chicken tenders and fries. Something you purchase from a restaurant at the same price point.

They were supposed to give me crispy chicken salad, I got grilled instead. They were behind and I was hungry, so I ate the grilled, which was tasty. They had no cups for salad on the side.

Don't be so stingy with the sauce. They give you one tiny cup with 3 large empanadas. Update their online menu so you can order more than one, especially if they're not going to include a reasonable/fair amount. Also I ordered citrus slaw side and got salad instead. If citrus slaw is not available anymore update menu.
