lunch in the district: the food cart

washingtonians: the food trucks are coming.

over the past year we've seen some pretty exciting food carts pop up around town. and there are more on their way! follow most on twitter to find their location.

my favorite food carts in dc:

1. the fojol brothers of merlindia:
fresh, spicy indian food from a truck blaring bollywood pop some days and disco music another. the brothers park their truck next to parks, lay out a few blankets, and serve indian food while wearing faux thick mustaches and turbans. the concept is silly, but the food is delicious - they serve 4 entree choices per day, the pumpkin is amazing! try a lassi pop on a hot day. get there early to avoid lines. 2 entrees and rice will run about $7. follow their tweets.

2. pedro and vinnys:
this guy has been serving delicious burritos for years - i recommend the veggie black and tan 7. He has a ton of different sauces to spice the burrito differently. he took off for awhile last year, but returned better than ever and much more appreciated by the lunch crowd. the burritos run about $6, and you can only pay with cash. he's parked at 15th and K.

3. sweetgreen:
salads and frozen yogurt. not to be taken lightly - both are amazing. thick, greek style yogurt or creative salads. they don't park near mcpherson square nearly enough for me! they also have cafes in dupont circle and georgetown. follow their twitter for location.

4. and coming soon...sauca!
looks like this truck is going to start next week! the menu looks really...expansive. and delicious. i'm only slightly skeptical, but more excited to try it out. i'm locked onto their twitter.

there's also a korean cart at 14th and L that i'm not in love with, but other people seem to like. any new trucks you've heard about?
