BarbecueThere’s tasty mobile ’cue, but our favorite is Blues BBQ Co. (@bluesbbqmd), permanently parked in Frederick. Start with addictive scallion hushpuppies dunked in honey butter before you devour the wood-smoked meats. We love the tender pulled pork with one of two sauces: vinegary Carolina-style or sweet-spicy Memphis. |

SandwichesJosé Andrés is the biggest-name chef to hit the streets, with his Spanish-themed Pepe (@pepefoodtruck). Eight flautas—crisp baguette sandwiches—include a $20 Ibérico pork version, but we’re partial to the similarly indulgent but cheaper fried chicken, grilled Spanish cheeses with quince, and Serrano ham and Manchego. |

TacosTaKorean (@takorean), Washington’s pioneer Korean taco truck, outshines traditional Mexican competitors. The three tacos never change, and that’s a good thing: We love the sweet-spicy rib eye, the chicken, and the tofu tucked into warm corn tortillas. Order one of each topped with cilantro, Sriracha sauce, and spicy kimchee slaw. |

VegetarianMeatless street eats can feel like afterthoughts. But Seoul Food (@seoulfooddc) offers Japanese- and Korean-inspired veggie options alongside local meats. Try caramelized kimchee sushi rolls, shiitake-studded sweet-potato noodles, and bibim bap with sticky rice, shredded vegetables, grilled organic tofu, and a fried egg. |
