Every morning, we’ll let you know where the area’s food trucks are rolling By Melissa Romero

Start off your Monday right by finding Curbside Cupcakes around the city for its first day of Customer Appreciation Week. The first 15 customers at every stop will get a free cupcake if you say the daily password (today's password: "Happy Birthday Kristi!"). Also, after a month in business, The Ficelle truck has revamped its menu. Look for the new Frida Salad and a Ficelle Combo meal. And for those of you visiting the Reston Zoo, the new Bratwurst King truck will be serving sausages, crepes, and various soups.

Chinatown (around Seventh and H sts., NW), where you'll find The Big Cheese.

Farragut Square (17th and I sts., NW), where you'll find Curbside Cupcakes (Pinky 1's fourth stop and Pinky 2's first stop), Red Hook Lobster, Marco Polo from Sâuçá, and DC Empanadas (21st and M sts., NW).

Franklin Square (13th and K sts., NW), where you'll find Benethiopia from Fojol Bros, Pangea from Sâuçá, Yellow Vendor, Sol Mexican Grill, and Curbside Cupcakes (Pinky 1's third stop). The Cheesecake Truck is at 15th and K streets, Northwest (second stop).

L'Enfant (Sixth St. and Maryland Ave., SW), where you'll find Carnivore BBQ, Sabor'a Street, Magellan from Sâuçá, and CapMac.

Metro Center (12th and G sts., NW), where you'll find Merlindia from Fojol Bros, Curbside Cupcakes (Pinky 1's first stop at 14th and G sts.), Pi Truck, Saucalito from Sâuçá, Fry Captain, and The Ficelle.

Navy Yard (around M St. and New Jersey Ave., SE), where you'll find Eat Stix.
