Truckeroo

The food truck movement can be found in many metropolitan areas throughout the nation. The variety of cuisines that these food trucks bring to the cities that they serve creates a brand new style of dining that becomes extremely accessible to the average Joe. With a plethora of food trucks that have a niche cuisine, you could eat something new every day of the year from food trucks if you wanted to. With so many options, it can be difficult to choose which food truck to dine from. If you live in the Washington D.C. area, there is a great way to sample cuisine from the plethora of food trucks that call D.C. home. Truckeroo is a monthly food truck festival held in The Bullpen area right outside of Nationals Ballpark. Held between April and October, Truckeroo is a fantastic event that brings together the many food trucks that call D.C. home. It is a fantastic event that is a must for every Washingtonian to attend at least once a season. The cuisine that you can sample from includes Korean tacos, Jamaican cuisine, cupcakes, chicken wings, crab cakes, pizza, ice cream, barbecue, Cajun & creole cuisine, empanadas, and even Spanish tapas. There are so many delicious choices it is hard to choose from just one. I sampled fried calamari and garlic fries from the Tapas Truck and the shrimp po' boy from the Cajunator Truck. The fried calamari and garlic fries from the Tapas Truck were absolutely delicious. The calamari was fried to perfection and was not chewy and rubbery at all. It was tender and a must try if you like fried calamari. The fries were seasoned perfectly and stayed crispy. As for the po' boy from the Cajunator Truck, it was a very satisfying sandwich. The sandwich had small fried shrimp, lettuce, and tomato. I would highly recommend both food trucks to anyone in the D.C. area. Besides the Tapas Truck and the Cajunator Truck, there was a plethora of dining options to choose from. The atmosphere at Truckeroo is like a huge street party. They have live music, good drinks, and some fantastic food for you to enjoy. It is worth your time to make Truckeroo a part of your D.C. experience.
