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!!“

“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)“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food! One of my favorite trucks!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“Very Friendly and prices are worth the food. Got 4 papusas and a ginger ale for 13.75 and they are BIG like pancakes!! And packed stuffed with whatever stuffing You'd like. Thank you guys so much!! I've found my new Latin spot to eat at. Best part is they open until midnight!! And they've been opened during snow storm!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“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 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.“

“buen servicio y precio asequible.“

“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.“

“We used the BBQ Bus for a work event this past week and they did a great job! The food was hot, fresh and came out fast.They have been a pleasure to work with from the start of planning this event. We had to change dates due to Covid and the owners worked with us. Excellent customer service.We will be using them again!“

“The steak was the highlight of the meal—perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It's easy to see why it's one of their best-selling dishes.
Their grilled Suya is a must-try and deserves its reputation as one of the restaurant's most popular menu items“

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

“Good service, great food!“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

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

“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“

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

“Peruvian Brothers has become a second home for many of us at Latinos@Amazon. Beyond serving incredible food, they’ve created a welcoming space that brings people together and celebrates community.

We recently hosted a World Cup watch party there, and the entire team was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. They helped create an atmosphere that felt festive, inclusive, and full of energy—exactly what you hope for when cheering on your favorite teams with friends and family.

A special shoutout to Ingrid, who goes above and beyond every single time. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care for customers are what keep us coming back. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, she makes everyone feel like family. Every time I walk into Peruvian Brothers, I feel at home.

Thank you to the entire team for your hospitality, amazing service, and for being such a wonderful part of the DMV Latino community. We can’t wait to be back!“

“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.“
