Fajita Sub? Really? Yes..really! Take a look at the pic. It is every bit as delicious as it looks. Every ingredient fresh with homemade sauces and the most perfectly baked bread you can have for a sub. The menu options are overwhelming at first, so I ended up settling on their namesake sandwich. I chose the Carne Asada as my protein and went with the default fajita toppings for the rest. I made use of their homemade sauce station as well to complete the entree. After adding a Sugar Cane Mojito Lemonade, the grand total came to less than $10. This for one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life...and it could have fed two people! If you see them, stop, ask questions, and then partake in a delicious adventure of latin flavors! read more

Best under the radar food truck! Don't let the name fool you! They serve wonderful homemade arepas, so much better than Arepa Zone. When I was walking past the food trucks in Chinatown, I saw an unfamiliar food truck the next block over and decided to check it out. I saw an overwhelmingly extensive menu of subs and arepas and was about to walk past it, when I saw a familiar face. The kind old owner was bringing Fajita Sub to DC! I used to get arepas all the time from the Fajita Sub Factory (they had a trailer) when I used to live in Silver Spring. Soo sooo good! The owner is so passionate and an amazing cook! She makes the arepas and even the seitan and all of the sauces. I was so glad that I saw her and got the Vegan Dream arepa with Venezulan cheese and plantains. It's only a $1 extra for unlimited toppings. I added the garlic crema sauce on top (the sauces are self-serve, you must try them!). For $10, I had one of the best lunches in DC. Everything was packed with flavor from the cheese, plaintains, to the seitan and grilled veggies and the SAUCE, aww the sauce. Was stuffed afterwards, totally worth it! Even though Fajita Sub isn't on the Food Truck Fiesta app, you can come find them on FB page: https://www.facebook.com/fajitasubfactory/ read more

Great lunch and friendly service from this small food truck that's inside an Airstream trailer parked in a gas station up the hill from Silver Spring metro station. I opted for the fajita bowl which is served in a small styrofoam container. A base of rice and topped with beans and chicken. On the other half of the bowl, avocado salad, shredded cheese and queso. Oh, and two tortillas. Red chile and a hot green avocado chile and some shredded onions added afterwards from their "salsa bar." It was a very tasty and quite filling lunch. As for the gal taking orders and payment, she was outwardly friendly and smiling. Very pleasant to deal with. There is a bench behind the trailer but I think the idea here is that you take it to go. read more

Dios mios what a gem of a find. On a food truck. In a gas station. In downtown silver spring. I was in a rush to grab lunch so I figured why not. I'm getting gas, bullet-looking truck or the Dominican one? I went with my gut--fajita sub factory here I come. Their menu is Latin inspired and have a few Italian offerings. I went with my first choice, arepas Peru and holy smokes the flavors in that bad boy was aggressive. Chunks of tilapia ceviche, red onion, and huancaina sauce in a warm, toasty "corn bagel" and I just said my prayers early today because it was PERFECT. Not that it needed anything else, but the pickled onions, pico, and two salsas sealed the deal on every bite. I may even make excuses to just get my gas here, just so I can visit again. read more

I might have had unreasonably high hopes for this little food truck... You operate out of a vintage Airstream: Sold! You are serving a new, at least to me, type of latin food called a corn "sub": Sold! You're located at a gas station: As some of my favorite MD institutions: Sold! You have 18 reviews with 4.5 stars: Sold! The problem was... I was a little nonplussed about the food I ordered: I decided to get the Corn sub: Carne Machada which is described as "Shredded beef with aji dulce". I've never had aji dulce, but I assumed that it was a sweet sauce as "Dulce" is Spanish for sweet or candy. They asked me if I wanted cheese on on the corn sub, and I asked for whatever cheese would normally come on it. They were like "whatever you'd like", and then I said, what type of cheese would you put on it? And they were like "queso fresco". So I was like... Ok, that's perfect. Well, the whole thing turned out to be way way salty and a bit greasy too. The "sub" ( I keep putting quotes around that as I don't think anyone would describe it as a sub) is more of a large circular sandwich. The outer corn griddled pancake thing they use instead of bread is decent, albeit does not have much flavor (except for a good deal of saltiness). The beef was cooked well, but it just seemed to be lacking depth. And the aji dulce... I don't know where that was. Still trying to figure it out, but for now it's a Cold Case. I'll most likely go back and try something else from the truck, maybe I just chose the wrong thing. I did also get some of their "homemade yogurt" which was really good and has fresh pineapple on top. It hadn't completely set up, but the flavor was good, and I've been on a yogurt kick so I was happy to see it. Also, I'm really curious and interested why half of the truck says that it's selling fresh Italian pastas. I would have asked, but I was in a bit of a hurry and there was a long line forming behind me. read more

OMG!!! So I'm going to start off by saying I experienced my first arepa this past summer and I have been obsessed ever since. I was SO happy when I saw this food truck parked outside of Nordstrom Rack in Farragut Sq. I found out that it was actually their first day with their second truck! The second truck will be located throughout DC, which means I don't have to go to Silver Spring to get a good Arepa. I got the chicken salad con queso de mano arepa. It was absolutely delicious and I felt like I was in heaven the entire time I ate it. The service was fantastic,which lined up with the quality of the food. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, check out Fajita Sub Factory and try a Arepa. There are so many options, sure to meet everyones taste buds! Enjoy read more

Ahhh!! I can't believe this place moved location to only 5 minute walking from my home! I absolutely love that they have veggie options so I always order the arepas with the veggie meat which is homemade seitan. They give you mango juice sometimes for samples and plenty of sauces to top of your meal. They are made to order so expect a little waiting and love that goes into preparing your meal. I've been back at least 3x times now the past two weeks--twice in the rain! A must-try. read more

I ordered the Fajita Bowl with 1/2 Chorizo (chicken sausage) and Ceviche (seafood) and got to try some of my friend's steak. Can I just start off by telling you how great their service is!? Their service is both friendly and attentive even when they are crazy busy. Portions were great for the price and I really liked that about them. The food is made to order so you'll wait a bit longer. Just know you're waiting on freshly prepared meats. Service was 5/5. My food was 3.5/5. Why? What I didn't like was that the steak was a bit dry and the seasoning in the blended guac they have at the counter tasted weird. Chorizo and ceviche was alright. I just like pork sausage more. I'm gonna try regular chicken next time. Pros: Ability to pick 1/2 of 2 types of meats Great portions for price Freshly made Friendly service No card minimum Cons: A bit of a wait if they're busy (but honestly it's not that bad) Didn't enjoy their optional sauces at the counter (I'll just stick with the guac that comes with my Fajita bowl) Overall, I'll be adding this to my lunch rotation because I did enjoy their food. It smelled fabulous and made my coworkers jealous ~haha. read more

Amazing tacos! Closest thing to what I had in Mexico. And 3 for 6 bucks ... can't beat it. I've also had the specialty drink which is beet, carrot and orange fresh juice. You would think there are many places to get fresh juice in downtown silver soring, but not the case. This place fills the gap. Love the little ladies behind the counter too. My new go too! read more

I got the chicken fajita with avocado and lemonade, This is better than arepa zone, I hate anything with onions; when I saw their menu I was so disappointed but the cook and the lady convinced me to pick them out TOTALLY worth it! My husband hates arepas because most places give you a dry arepa with barely any fillings; this was the complete Opposite. The green sauce and mayo made the perfect dinner && we were so full I did not have to cook!!!! read more

Hands down best arepas I've ever had. So much flavor and are absolutely stuffed with meat. The owner makes every fresh even the juice. I bought the pineapple juice it's nothing like store bought, it fresh pressed pineapple juice. I am definitely going back, however the owner did mention her hours are not consistent yet but I will look out for when it is open. read more

Been thinking of the right way to say this as I've had some good breakfasts there. Unfortunately after many chances, I'm giving up on the place. Went for a juice the other day due to not feeling well and an arepa would've been too heavy. After half the listed ingredients were unavailable we agreed on a concoction that was acceptable. As I was drinking it, I believed it had been watered down. When I asked, it was confirmed. Also on all previous occasions the tax was included in the listed price. The $3 arepa was always $3, the $1 drinks were $1 and so on. The price went up with no warning until after I'd gotten the drink. I ordered juice not a $3 cup of colored cheap water that went up by a quarter over night. Only constant is inconsistency in service, price and produce. Will not be returning read more

We just loved it! The lady was very kind, and they made our food ready within 4-5 minutes. read more

Fajitas Factory - a food truck parked on the side of the street - Food Trucks Near Me

It was a happy day when I discovered this great little food truck. I was driving east on University Boulevard when my eyes landed on this Airstream trailer food truck at a gas station. Instantly, my brain made the executive decision to stop for lunch. And when I did, life just kept getting better with discovery after discovery. Discovery #1 Airstream trailer food truck, no more needs to be said! #2: they offer arepas, not just the more typical pupusas, tacos, etc. you often find in Silver Spring. #3: They're extremely vegetarian friendly and even have homemade seitan, "veggie meat." #4: They have an awesome salsa bar with four different freshly made, delicious, interesting salsas. #5 everything is delicious. The owner is very outgoing and helpful. She mentioned she is vegetarian herself but she also makes chicken chorizo, ceviche, beef, etc. She also makes her own crema and some juices and lemonade. (What???????) I ordered an arepa with black beans and the veggie meat and it must have weighed almost a pound. A very satisfying and delicious meal indeed. I am not 100% vegetarian but my partner is 95% vegan, so I dragged him back to the food truck the next weekend. He ordered the veggie arepa and I had the veggie meat fajita bowl. We brought our food home, and as I always do when we get takeout, I got out a bunch of sauces and slaws,.....and this is pretty much unprecedented, but we didn't use any of them, because the food was so tasty the way it was. The only thing we added was a little fresh jalapeno from our garden. I am blown away by how hard the owner works, making her own seitan (which is not easy or fast, and we know this because we have made it ourselves) crema, salsas, arepas, and we love how delicious and fresh everything is. This is my new favorite place! Next time I'm trying the ceviche. read more

I hate when I take the time to carefully write a detailed review that addresses each aspect of the experience only to find that it didn't save. So now, you'll have to just look at the 5 stars and take it at face value. I'm so annoyed. But, I will say that the food is fresh, authentic, flavorful and homemade; portions are generous; staff is friendly and helpful; wait time corresponds to "made to order" nature of the food; credit cards are accepted. I didn't care for the super sweet mojito lemonade that tasted like sugar cane water. I've been there twice in one week. Each time we fed three hungry carnivores and still had left overs. Cost was $35 both times, but note that we ordered 5 "entrees," a side of sublime guacamole and a couple of drinks. We'll be back. read more

The best Arepas EVER! They are very good portions and have very friendly staff. At lunch its a bit slow due to the fact that everything is made to order and fresh. The fruit juices are also very amazing. They are fresh pressed juices. I recommend you text them your order! Hands down best lunch in Silver Spring Cheap, Delicious AMAZING! read more

The off-the-menu ceviche-filled arepa I requested was the BEST CEVICHE experience of my life!!! Also the queso a mano arepa was heaven. The arepas here are crispy on the outside, substantial enough to hold the juicy innards but not heavy or gummy. Perfection. Not a huge fan of the consistency of their fruit juices, but the flavor is authentic. I must wholly concur with Crystal F.: "the food is fresh, authentic, flavorful and homemade; portions are generous; staff is friendly and helpful; wait time corresponds to "made to order" nature of the food" People like Jeremiah N. turn my 4-star rating to 5-star rating. His 2 star "hate" is inappropriate. I am glad I won't have to endure a chance encounter with Jeremiah N. at the counter of Fajita Sub. If you're the type who gives a vendor a hard time because their small food truck has run out of your favorite beverage and you don't have the huevos to request less ice in your drink, then I'm sure everyone who enjoys the excellent quality and flavor of the rest of the menu will be glad your whiny self is staying away. ------------------------------------------------------- Let me soapbox a moment about DC consumers: Oh, entitled DC urbanite. You think that just because a food establishment does not have crisp white linens, that your food or beverage should arrive in 5 minutes or less. Very few eateries or cafés in DC are still "mom and pop" /small family-run joints, so perhaps you are just ignorant about appropriate behavior when you patronize such establishments. If you are truly as hip, savvy, professional, or cosmopolitan as you portray yourself, then you should know about the Slow Food Movement. This is also known as a return to non-industrialized food production or service. For example; small, high-quality, low-volume shops are not able or required to give you change for the parking meter, let you use their restroom without making a purchase, or donate many minutes of their time and effort without you being willing or at least promising to make a purchase in the near future. Time is money, and these places need every cent, or at least every minute they have to spend on improvements and marketing. Remember that the people who work in these establishments rarely make a standard living wage (especially in DC), and they often work there because they truly believe in the benefit and quality of what they offer. So if you can't wait 5 or even 10 minutes for service because the only person working just took 4 orders right before you walked in, then please don't insult the establishment or your own public image by leaving in a frustrated hurry. Just stick to your slick store chains. You are not the kind of customer the "mom and pop" needs. read more

Love these Arepas and the staff. From owner to every worker they are friendly and glad you came. They call me by name and it makes me feel that this is MY place. You won't be broke or disappointed when you stop in. Yes they are in a gas station parking lot. read more

After walking past this truck almost daily for 3 years and hearing my coworkers rave about this place I decided to give it a try. Today I ordered 2 chicken tacos and a Chorizo chicken taco with black beans and rice....the verdict?? This place is pretty.....actually VERY darn delicious!! The food was fresh and was seasoned well. I liked the "salsa bar" where I got to add guacamole, pico de gallo, and a medium salsa for no additional cost. All of this for $8 is unheard of in DTSS. This will be my new lunch spot since I work 2 blocks away :-). read more

I've been here once so far and ordered a chicken arepa.... difficult to eat since it doesn't hold together very well, but so damn delicious that I'll be stopping here for more arepas anytime I'm in Silver Spring. The mojito lemonade is also pretty good. They make everything to order, so I wouldn't call it "fast" food - if you're not in a rush, then it's worth a try. read more

This is my second time getting lunch at this hidden gem I stumbled on while looking to catch a quick lunch. I didn't take pictures of what I got so you'll really just have to take my word when I say the arepas are AMAZING. The first time I went I got la Catira, its a chicken based arepa. I topped it off with their avacado and garlic sauce from the salsa bar- I couldn't believe all that flavor could come from a food truck. I added a side guacamole- some of the freshest I've ever tasted. My boyfriend got the Pabellon. They sold him when he read that it had plantains in it. It was also so flavorful. We tried their carrot, beet, and orange juice- super refreshing- also reminded me that I have a place to get a clean juice when I'm on a diet binge! We also had the pleasure of having our orders taken by the owner. She is so personable and has a great sense of love for what she does. Overall a great place! I hope they take it to a restaurant level one day- I'd definitely go! read more

This is a fairly new food truck in Silver Spring. I was going in with hopes for a local chipotle alternative. Preparation took about 15 minutes and they were not busy. They also did not have their salsas made yet and they told us they were running late. The portion is small, I am no chef and I could very easily make something 10x better. The shredded chicken had plenty of gristle and even plenty of bone.. not sure how this happens? It is not hard to cut chicken. The fresh avocado and cheap price is the only thing that gave my review a second star. In review, I believe this is someones poor attempt at a cheap food truck.. but they fall short miserably. Be warned. read more

Who would have known a quick trip to the gas station could lead to heaven in a breakfast sandwich. All I can say is FRESH! Freshly chopped veggies, food cooked to order,etc. the breakfast sandwich had the most awesome texture I've only experienced with some of New Orleans York's best thin crust pizza. It was the perfect blend of egg, turkey ham, black beans and fresh salsa. To top it off I had fresh mango juice. All this deliciousness for under $8. OMG! I will be back! read more

This truck is quite possibly the best food truck I've had in DC. I got the seitan salad, which came with a heft portion of marinated seitan with eggplant on top of a salad with fresh avocado, rice and beans. The salsas are amazing. Next time I'm getting the arepas or the tostones. The woman who was running the front of house was super nice and suggested different salsas (pickled onions with hot peppers, chili oil, avocado sauce, red salsa. I put a little of each on everything. Please open a chain of these across the city. read more

PHENOMENAL!! I work in downtown DC and have food trucks cycle in front of my Job from open till close. I have had so much Food-truck food its crazy. I thought i had lost my faith in food trucks due to questionable looking vehicles and even more questionable looking food. While watching the workers of this particular truck i saw how much care and time they took to prepare the food and i had to give them a chance. This truck far surpasses every truck that has graced this sidewalk. The food is amazingly fresh and the cook is not shy about recommending what may well be the best combination of condiments for your food. The truck itself has a great and inviting design. If you ever see this truck Please give it a chance, your taste buds will thank you. read more
