It's surprising, with the explosive growth of DC Food trucks, that there has not been a burger…read moretruck on the scene until now. Dorthy Moon's is now filling the aforementioned role as the only current DC Burger truck. The big purple truck hit the streets at the beginning of the month and is keeping it simple "slinging street meat". Their website is not currently up and running but their facebook page mentions 5 burgers - plus the "build your own" option. I did not see a list of suggested burgers, but was happy to build my own and opted for Bacon, Cheddar, with Terriyaki Mushrooms and the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments. They also offer a few unique toppings such as Sriracha sauce, egg, and pepperoni. I passed on the usual choices of sodas (they also offer an Arnold Palmer) and flavored chips so that I could sample the burger unfettered by distractions. The burger options are pretty generous with $6 for a single and only a dollar more for a "double". They did not take a "temp" on the burger but it was cooked to a nice juicy medium. (Note that if you don't like any pink in your burger you may want to ask for burger a bit more done). My first impression upon opening the foil wrapped burger was -- Five Guys! Almost the same profile and wrapping method as Five Guys and about the same size patties and hamburger buns. The meat was flavorful, bacon crisp and generously portioned, the bun soft and slightly sweet, and it was (of course with all of my toppings) a rather messy but enjoyable eat. My only minor quibble were the "terriyaki mushrooms" - they were decent sauteed button mushrooms, but I could detect no terriyaki flavor to them. They might want to consider offering turkey and/or veggie burgers if they want to round out their offerings for some of DC's health conscious. However, I have a feeling that this place will likely develop a loyal following, as is, if they keep their prices down and quality up.

Nom nom nom. Want…read morea burger with everything on it? This is the place to go. Single/Double/Trip for $7/8/9. And all (I mean ALL) toppings are included. I got mine with lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, sweet peppers, hot peppers, fried egg, bacon AND pepperoni with provolone cheese, bbq sauce, and a hint of sriracha. This is a bargain! The patties are no shake shack, but they are flavorful and freshly cooked. The million dollar question is who's Dorthy Moon and where has she been all my life?

I rarely eat sandwiches, given the plethora of exotic options available. So this plain-jane,…read moreno-frills truck actually struck me as a novelty amidst the cluster of zany, decorated trucks offering Moroccan wraps, Lebanese burritos and Korean Tacos. I must say the Caprese sandwhich I chose for $9 was prepared exquisitely with fresh basil leaf, generous mozzarella and tomato and lovely sprinkling of peppers and dressing. The portion size was "yuuuuuge" to quote a contemporary celebrity. It really held up well all afternoon back at the office as I munched my way through the afternoon. The meats tasted delectably fresh and the lettuce crunchy and well-dressed. Banh Mi is more to my taste because of the crusty bread and delicious Asian twist, but this Italian sandwich really deserves kudos for great flavor and preparation. If you like, and normally eat, sandwiches I feel sure you will be suitably impressed.

I'm by no means an Italian sub expert, but I've had my share from Philly and NY. Although…read moreeverything tasted great in this sub (I got the Milano with the works), the bread simply didn't hold up. In the 5 minute walk back to my office, it was a soggy mess. Inedible. However I happily dissected it and enjoyed the meat and veggies. The service wasn't immediate, but that's because it's made to order. I found the guy working there plenty nice - he even gave me a sample of the salami which sold me on my choice. I'd recommend the place, but maybe avoid the oil and peppers, or ask for peppers on the side.

Short initial review…read more So they showed up earlier this week and I had never seen them before. Given the menu options, despite all sounding delicious, I decided to be conservative and I went with a Jamaican Beef Patty, a Jamaican Chicken Patty, and a Chocolate Chip Mini-Rum Cake. They advertise that the Beef Patties are all handmade and authentic...which is what intrigued me. Looking at them, I can't be sure if they are handmade - as they had the appearance of a commercially produced product - but they sure were delicious! I preferred the beef to the chicken as it had more flavor overall with just the right amount of spice. They were out of Jerk Chicken Patties, so I didn't get to try that. To finish off the meal, their Mini-Rum Cake was a satisfying dessert...fresh and chocolaty! Next time I will have to try the Jerk Chicken or the Curry Goat platter. Then I will know if they really are a legit Jamaican spot! Oh...and I did have to wait a bit longer than usual for food. There seemed to be some confusion between when the order is taken and when it gets to the cook to prepare...so hoping it will smooth out in a few more days. If you have a few extra minutes, be sure to give them a try. NOTE: Second visit to the truck there was almost no wait at all...so they are streamlining a bit!

Ahhh Wah Gaan was one of four food trucks parked outside of the Marriott Marquis on August 26, 2016…read moreduring lunch time. The line began to form at 11:30 am. and by noon it was down the street. I waited 60 minutes to place my order. I ordered: *The jerk chicken special that included rice and peas with a kale salad- $12.00. *Bottle water- $1.00 *Chocolate chocolate chips rum cake- $3.00 I then had to wait another 15 minutes for my food and by this time my stomach was touching my back. Minus one star for the ridiculous wait time. The jerk chicken was tender and seasoned with the perfect blend of Caribbean spices. The Kale, Cabbage, and Cranberry salad was fresh and tasty. I was not impressed with the beans and rice it was too bland but edible. My favorite was the rum cake it was moist and curbed my chocolate sweet tooth. It is worth a try if you are ever in the mood for some authentic Jamaican food. Please be warned that if you see more the five people in line expect to wait at least thirty minutes for your food, so plan your time accordingly.

Here's the way it works. You choose whether you want tacos, a burrito, or a taco salad. Then you…read morechoose your meat. They come with some standard toppings (I think salsa, lettuce, and cheese) and then you can choose three additional toppings for no additional cost. Guacamole is not on either list. You can order guac for $2 extra. I ordered a carnitas taco salad with a side of guacamole. For my three additional toppings, I asked for corn, black beans, and spinach. The first thing I noticed is that the salad came with guac on it (in addition to the side of guac I got). Also, there was no spinach. Not one leaf. Nor was there any cheese. The salad consisted of the fried tortilla bowl, shredded iceberg lettuce, black beans, corn, carnitas, and guac. It came with a side of salsa/hot sauce. The lettuce did not look or taste fresh. There was a scant amount of beans and corn. The carnitas were fatty and tasteless. I ended up dumping the salad out of the tortilla bowl, mixing the few black beans and corn kernels in with my salsa and guac, and eating it with the tortilla. The meat and lettuce I left relatively untouched. Oh, and their sign said $9 for carnitas and $2 for guac, but they charged me $12 total.

The chicken is well seasoned and the basmati rice is fresh. They put this "white sauce" on it that tastes like heaven on earth. The meal also includes a fresh side salad that's packed in with the rice. Eaten together, it tastes grand! If you've been to NYC and tried the "Chicken and Rice" stations all throughout that glorious city, it's basically the same thing. It's the most affordable, delicious meal I have had from a food truck yet. Also, it's very filling. The portion is huge. Important Note: It is cash-only, so bring the bills.

I tried the #5, which was the Bulgogi Jahpchae bibimbop. The big plastic salad bowl container contained a generous amount of bulgogi (with its juicessssssss), freshly-sliced carrots, bean sprouts, rice, jahp chae noodles (just the sesame-ed up noodles (no beef or veggies as a regular jahpchae)), lettuce, and a little container of gochujang. Mannnnn, it was really good! The bulgogi had an ever-so-subtle sweeter taste, but it was marinated wonderfully and perfectly; it was tender and cooked all the way through; it's not the 'grilled' version, so keep that in mind. I love the fact that the guys put in extra ladles of the bulgogi juice in it (oh, yeaaaa, mixed it up with the rice!). Mixing it all up with the lettuce, the jahpchae noodles, and the veggies with the gochujang sauce was great (I recommend in asking an extra container of the gochujang if you want it more well-dressed). The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the rick - it was a little too wet and mushy T___T For $10 that includes tax, I thought it was a great filling meal - a great bargain!

Mellow yellow ($10) was equally filling. Chicken curry was tender and reasonably flavorful, though the rice was overcooked and soaked up all the oil. Steamed cabbage was lightly seasoned and just cooked through with some pea/diced carrot medley.
