Food truckin'

I'm in a Puerto Rico state of mind. This morning, upon seeing that the high temperature for today was to be 50 degrees, I thought, time to ditch the coat and the pants! This is skirt weather! Fifty degrees is kinda like 80, right? No. After also forgetting to put on deodorant, I hopped outside and thought, maybe it's still coat weather..and popped back inside to grab a thin coat. Then halfway down my walkway, I ran back inside to get my scarf. But my legs, my poor legs froze to death.

And they continued to freeze to death on my walk to Farragut Square this afternoon to indulge in some food truck action. There are dozens of food trucks in the DC area now and to my good fortune, my coworkers are as down with food truck adventures as I am. We've all but sampled the fare from every truck but PiTruck, Eat Wonky, DC Empanadas, District Taco and this new Latin truck.

Today I decided to go with the Sauca truck's Beef Shawarma. I couldn't have picked better! The meat was thinly sliced, well seasoned, tender and covered in Chimichurri and Tahini sauces. The whole bundle was enveloped in a fluffy, doughy pita.

I've also tried their Mumbai Butter Chicken and the Medi Veggie which were equally as good. Be sure to check the Sauca truck out when you can. They have three trucks roaming the area and I saw recently that they have recently introduced some sort of kababs.
