Ya can’t beat the meat in the street!

Food trucks in DC are far more than your typical Manhattan falafel, kabob or even Belgian waffle stand. Washington DC street vendors come fully equipped with mobile kitchens, a bevy of street food options and health code standards far beyond the conventional food truck norms.

Fueled by Washington’s need for quick lunch options, DC food trucks travel from spot to spot offering Washingtonians amazing street food like tarts, lobster rolls, Korean barbeque, falafel, sweet & savory pies, tacos and much more!

How do you know where they are?

Every day street food vendors in Washington DC update their Facebook and Twitter profiles with their whereabouts, menu options, whether or not something has sold out, closing time, tomorrow’s hours, etc.

They pretty much roll up where the action is and watch as the lines form. You can find DC food trucks everywhere from North Capital to K Street, down to GW and Virginia Ave and into NoVA!

We found all these trucks just in McPherson Square!

Red Hook Lobster Pound

It’s a bit expensive by street food standards, but once you bite into the butter-soaked roll and taste that lobster, the dent in your wallet will mean nothing.

Sweet or savory? No matter which way you cut it (pun definitely intended) the DC pie truck is, as its name clearly warns, dangerously delicious!

Sabora Street: Latin Inspired Street Food

Judging from the marked up menu, Sabora Street’s chicken tacos/arepas are rather popular! Their beer-battered soft-shell crab is delicious too!

Sweet Flow Mobile
