Truck Stops: Where to Find Lunch on Wheels

Every morning, we’ll let you know where the area’s food trucks are rolling. By Kate Nerenberg

Comments () | Published June 14, 2011

Hey, food-truck lovers! It's another blissfully humidity-free day, which means it's perfect weather to find lunch at the curb, and—as we did yesterday—find a spot in the sun to tuck into lobster rolls, kebabs, or barbecue. Farragut Square is the place to be today, where the Fojol Bros. are laying out blankets and Fry Captain is dishing out cake-batter milkshakes. Choupi Crepes is back in action in Rosslyn after a long hiatus, and Basil Thyme is making its debut at 12th and D streets, Northwest.

Farragut Square (17th and I sts., NW), where you'll find Merlindia from Fojol Bros., Fry Captain, Halal.biz, a Sâuçá truck, Pi Truck DC, and Carnivore BBQ.

Franklin Park (13th and K sts., NW), where you'll find PORC and Sabor'a Street.

Gallery Place area, where you'll find a Sâuçá truck (at Seventh and F sts., NW). Curbside Cupcakes is nearby at Sixth Street and Indiana Avenue, Northwest (Pinky 2's second stop).
