50 Best Food Trucks near Riverdale Park

“Best Hot Dog I've ever had in my life and they have gluten free rolls!“

“Jaliyaa serves absolute top tier matcha 😋😋 I recommend the desert chai and if you like something sweeter get strawberry matcha! The truck is usually in the Howard area during the school year but in the summer they have a cutesy pop up in dupont circle“

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

Absolutely love this place! The lamb and chicken are always cooked to perfection, the rice is flavorful, the salad is fresh, and the sauce brings everything together perfectly. Every meal is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous for such reasonable prices. It’s hard to find quality, taste, and value all in one place, but this food cart delivers every time. I truly hope they continue maintaining the same standards because they’ve earned a loyal customer.“

“Food is great…. You don’t have to interact with a bunch of staff, but they do have employees to assist if needed. They are efficient and nice menu with a lot of options. Everything is packaged neatly!!!!!!!!!! This place was needed I speaks a lot of lunches here. Thai beef fried rice is amazing and in this picture I have the beef and broccoli everything was fresh and steamy.“

“Great torta, fast friendly service. Catch em!!“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“Guatemalan cuisine. 10/10 of the food portions, taste of the food, and amazing customer service. Love the shucos and the parrillada mixta, the hibiscus juice is the best one I had tried so far (agua de Jamaica)“

“I asked "cuales son los favoritos", and the friendly answer was "Garnachas y pupusas", so we ordered those, bill was $20, got more delicious food than two of us could finish. Ask for some habanero salsa, it was great and super picante.“

“My family and I were in dc about 2 weeks ago and found this gem of an eatery at the Union Market and it was DELICIOUS 🤤 By far the absolute BEST bread puddin I have ever had in my life and we are from the south and I have eaten a lot of bread puddin. Please let me know when you start shipping because u have a huge fan base in Texas 😊 Katrina Briggs - Dallas, TX“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

I’ve been coming to 193 Barbecue for over ten years, and it’s still my favorite spot. The quality has never changed — it’s always consistent, always fresh, and always hits the spot. Their steak is honestly the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked every single time.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the food portions are worth every penny. This is one of those rare places that’s stayed great for a whole decade. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Seafood Boss! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The seafood was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely one of the best seafood spots around — highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“We absolutely Loved what we got and they’re open late! And at a prime spot 😊“

“Being Italian, I'm very picky about my pizza. I have to say Stracci Pizza is our absolute favorite. Whether eating there or a carry out, it is simply the best.“

“Some of the best pupusas I’ve ever had, the epitome of the perfect pupusa, cheesy, fluffy and delicious. Freshly made and really hot off the grill, loved the lettuce and sauce on the side as well. Highly recommend. The pina juice was good too.“

“Great food! One of my favorite trucks!“

“Well worth the wait!! I was in Forestville decided to check out Yumyums Smokin Grille. I had peeped the menu before walking over to the truck, but once getting there it was too many choices.
I got the seafood mac and cheese, plenty of seafood, but a little spicy to me (not a deterrent), plain wings (fried to perfection, great taste and proper breading), seafood rolls (OMG!!! Indescribablely delicious). The yum yum sauce is definitely a great complement to the rolls. Lemonade was an added bonus. Cool and refreshing!!! Service was awesome from the young man taking orders to the chef apologizing for the wait. I definitely don't mind waiting when the food is good!! There was enough for me to share with my daughter.“

“Exquisite cuisine complemented by a charming atmosphere! Their house-brewed Vietnamese coffee tastes and smells so good. The new soft-shell crab with tamarind sauce is so yummy and reasonably priced. I will definitely come back for their delectable chimichurri steak. I will definitely come again to try out the banh mi and other lunch options as well as other authentic Vietnamese items. I love that with a menu brimming with authentic Vietnamese dishes, they also offer a tempting array of vegan and exotic options. It's a great addition to the modernized Takoma Park.“

“Some of the best halal I've ever had. I've been coming here for over a decade. The owner is an incredibly kind man, the food is delicious, and the price is unbeatable. Highly recommend. In case it's not obvious, this is a food cart, so there's no seating. That's not a negative, just something to keep in mind if you're coming for the first time.“

“Every item we got was amazing! And the portions were large. Such a great experience, can’t wait to eat at Granny’s Kitchen truck again!“

“great food and service! tacos are outstanding and the tex mex egg roll are definitely a must buy!“

“Thank you for participating in our back to school night. Everyone raved about your food and you were so easy to partner with for this event. Thank you“

“i eat here twice a week at least, i’m hooked on the street tacos & street corn 🤩 customer service is always great as well“

“I like to go here about once a week for lunch. The owner is nice and the food is ready quickly. You get quite a bit of food for the price. It's important to support this truck especially considering a chain halal restaurant opened up just feet away.“

“Their food is SO FREAKING GOOD!!!! Like I love it. And they give you A HUGE portion! I ordered from them on DoorDash for the first time a few days ago, and I cried. I cried literal happy tears. They made the dinner I ordered and it tasted just like how my grandmother used to make before she passed away. I will forever go to this place!! And they gave me a whole lot!! I actually just placed another order again a few minutes ago and I’m waiting for it to be delivered. I PRAY your business thrives so well, that you become billionaires“

“First time trying this food truck and I had the chicken torta. There must be about 20 layers in this torta and they all came out perfectly, I don't know how they made this so quickly. Not the cheapest but very good portion size. I can't wait to try other items here.“

“it is very delicious super fresh ...... extremely exquisite for the palate. 😋😋🤗“

“The food is incredible, delicious, and full of flavor. The empanadas are amazing, my favorites are the chicken and pabellón ones. I also love the chicken burgers and the tequeños. It’s an excellent place to enjoy Venezuelan food and a great atmosphere. Plus, the service is excellent, they’re very friendly and attentive.“

“Everything here is sooooo delicious. I usually get the veggie platter - I’ve tried all of the sides and my personal favorite is the okra but you really can’t go wrong with any. I don’t even live in DC anymore but whenever I come back I always crave tasty kabob“

“I come for the shrimp, I stay for the beans and rice. (And I NEVER stick around for beans and rice!) Seriously, every morsel of food on the shrimp platter is so delicious. And the folks at the window are lovely. The pupusas are also delish.“

“Delicious! Simply delicious and authentic Mexican Tacos. I stumbled upon this food truck searching for food at Whole Foods couldn’t have been more grateful for the find. It was exactly what I was looking for, healthy, authentic, Mexican tacos….I slammed a burrito and Avena drink as well hehe.“

“delicioso 🔥😚🙏🙏 lo recomiendo al 100% ,Ricas las pupusas y los tacos igual“

“The service is fantastic, order is taken by the sweetest lady ever who brings a smile to my face every time. From the time I had the tacos, I came back every single day for lunch because they were so good, and only recently lowered the frequency solely for the purpose of my self imposed budget and diet. I crave this place constantly and it's so good - love all of their tacos, and their soups are consistently good.

Edit: I'm seeing a review below giving this place a 1 star due to them taking orders from someone else first. As a new regular, I highly doubt this happened. And if it did, I am sure it was not malicious and they did not see.“

“buen servicio y precio asequible.“

“Well this place is widely known for their tacos and unbelievable pupusas. I’ve been here several times and will be back. Got the quesadilla today along with tacos and such. Always a hit. The staff is nice, patient, and there’s typically a line.“

“YALL SHOULD TRY THE RAMEN BIRRIA AND THE TACOS!! THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS THEY DO NOT DISAPPOINT YOU HERE!“

“I ordered the chicharrones after searching for a good place to get them for awhile. They were SO SO good and the rice and beans omg. The beans were so flavorful and delicious. I also ordered the empanadas and WOW WOW those were also amazing. Everything was hot and I could hear the stove/fryer so it felt pretty good for a food truck. Service was great and hopefully one day they’ll have a restaurant as well as the food truck!

I’ll definitely be back to try other things they have on the menu. It was also all priced well. I sadly ate too fast and didn’t take pics.“

“I’ve been eating at Mic4ela food truck for a long time and they sell delicious fresh made food. Some of my favorites are the Cheesesteak, the fresh made pizza and the Mic4ela salad. I’ve always been satisfied after a meal as they give generous portions! Give their food a try!“

“Food is amazing, highly recommend!! *****“

“The food is absolutely delicious! 🤤😋 Everything was grilled to perfection and packed with flavor. The portion sizes are pretty generous too, so the pricing is somewhat reasonable for the amount of food you get.

My only complaint is that I wish there were more variety in what’s included with the meals. The “bowl,” for example, is literally your choice of meat with shredded onions—no rice or other side—which I found a little misleading.

I ordered the chicken wings and suya combo for $38, and it came with exactly that: chicken wings, beef suya, and shredded onions. The amount of meat was definitely generous, but quite a few pieces of the beef suya were fatty. So I’m still going back and forth on whether I feel like $38 was worth it. 😂

That being said, the flavor was REALLY good, and I enjoyed the food overall. There’s limited street parking, but I didn’t have much trouble finding a spot.

I would definitely go back and would recommend giving them a try—just know that when they say meat and onions, they mean meat and onions. 😂“

“Ingrid and the entire team at Peruvian Brothers are the best! The food is always so fresh and delicious. In addition to their standards, like 5-star empanadas, some of their HQ2 specific dishes are equally amazing. Their wings in particular are some of the best in town. Today they quickly jumped into action when I showed up with my entire team and delivered a memorable lunch for the whole group. Thank you Ingrid and team for everything, we will definitely be back!“

“Good service, great food!“

“Delicious cookies. The Dubai chocolate cookie is outstanding!“

“They need to work on their business etiquette when dealing with customers and answering the phone. Their Pupusas are very good! Their Carne Asada (Beef Filet) portion is big and tastes good. All of their dishes are made fresh in their food Truck. Again my only complaint is their business etiquette which is basically non-existent.“

“Had the barbecue honey wings & fries they were delicious then tasted some of their chili fries that someone else bought I was tempted to go buy some myself they were so good, don’t know what he puts in the iced tea but hands down the best tea I’ve ever tasted“
