"This Jamaiican Food Place is open late nights in Washington, DC. They have a food truck as well. We came here at 12a-1a to order food for a family member. The parking is challenging as there is a club within 20 feet of the restaurant. Once we found street parking, we walked up to a line of about 15 people outside then about 15 more inside. This is a good sign; people willing to wait for authentic Jamaican Food. After standing in line for 20-25mins, we ordered with the 1 person taking orders. Then, we waited another 20mins for the food to be ready. There is no room inside the establishment to sit down while you wait for your food to be ready.We got back to our place and the family member started when they realize that it just wasn't as flavorful as the truck. The feedback is that the food truck food was well marinated well seasoned and cooked much better. Also, the full menu is not available mWe will stick to the food truck version of this place. It is nice that they have a stand up restaurant as well, but we prefer to have the good stuff for the prices we paid. TIP: The full menu is not available for late night dining, only about 4 select items."

"Listen you want regular tacos go anywhere. You want some good well seasoned made with love tacos come here. We have the chicken which was okay but why get chicken when they have everything here ! The Barbacoa, carne asada, and chorizo were to die for ! I plan on coming back. There were cucumbers and radish on the side and there were two salsa accompanying the meal. They also have the best tres leches cake ever ! Tacos 3 for 10.50$4 for tres leches cake$15 for burrito !Sadly gotta take a star back because they charged my card twice ! On two separate days, I know use cash not card but this was spontaneous but this is also a bit saddening"

"The Memphis pulled pork is amazing. I love the fried Mac n cheese bites too. This is the best bbq I've had in Maryland and it's a great place to order catering."

Pizza di Joey

★★★★☆ 4.1 (122) • $

"Food: 3/5Service: N/A (did takeout) Price: $$ This review is only for the food, we ordered the Margherita 24" and Grandmas. The pizzas were unfortunately underwhelming. The crust leaned towards the dry side, and the overall flavor profile was a bit lacking. My partner and I both wished there was more sauce and flavorful sauce at that on the pizzas. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't stand out either.Giving it a 3/5 for now, and will try again but this time for dine-in."

Fireman's Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (126) • $$

"It's okay for overpriced "ok" food. The Yams had too much vanilla extract and the mac n cheese had too much egg. I ended up throwing it out. They do wingettes not wings, just wanna point that out there. The guys were sitting outside posted up lol. I probably won't go back. The place was empty. Service was good, no complaints, I cook so I know what's bomb and what ain't lls."

Yomna's Halal Gyro Cart

★★★★★ 4.6 (81) • $

"Super delicious chicken over rice! The chicken is flavorful and juicy stand-alone, and even better with the white sauce, and best of all, the hot sauce. It has a good level of heat (not sweet like others I've had). For $7, I'm super content with my quantity and quality of food! I think it may be my favorite in Baltimore, thus far (and I'm brown)."

Pita On The Plaza

★★★★★ 4.9 (57)

"This place has been hidden right under my nose til recently. All the times I've been hungry and around the Bethesda metro station had I just went up the stairs I'd have found the solution. This is a permanent food truck located on top of Bethesda metro station, next to the Hyatt Starbucks. They do have limited hours, between 11am and 3pm Monday thru Friday, but their customer service is what sets them apart. I get out of work at 3, and they encourage people to call ahead and as long as you place the order before 3, you can pick it up and pay for about another half hour to hour while they clean up and close up. The people working are super nice, and the portions are good for the price. I tried the shwarma and the only negative thing I could say is i wish i had a second side of taziki but I know for next time, when I come back for the gyro."

"Love this place. best Maryland Crab Cakes in town. Must try be mindful they are closed Monday's and Tuesday abs open at noon -8 pm Wednesday thru Saturday. Open on Sunday for Brunch only from 11-2. I must come back to try their power up bowls and Shepard's pie but how when their signature item is the Maryland Crab Cake ..On to my review. This is my second time at this location. During the pandemic there was a very limited menu and only dine out available.Today I had the luck of dining inside. I am happy to see a more extended menu. The waitress states that it is still limited but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with all the variety. There is waaay more than just crab cakes here. From grilled chicken sandwiches, power owls and even vegetarian options.. Right off the bat I could see things I would be ordering in the future. Deliciousness everywhere. I can see there was so much thought that went behind creating this menu. Finally I gave in abs ordered the We Be Jammin crab cake sandwich with a side on homemade mac n cheese and house made spicy pickle. Let me start off by saying that the flavor combinations that are intentionally paired with this amazing crab cake are mind blowing. I would never think to add some of these topping to my crab cake. Once you take your first bite you can quickly realize that this crab cake sandwich is an experience. The flavors and textures are all working together cohesively to tantalize all of your tastebuds. After chewing my first bite all I could utter is WOW and some weird moaning sound.. Don't judge me but this crab cake was almost orgasmic. . The mac and cheese is very cheesy and well seasoned. I enjoyed the sprinkle of old bay on top. In addition, I devoted the homemade pickle. Great addition!!! After inhaling my sandwich I was not even able to make a dent into my mac so I took in home. Overall this was a very good meal for under $20. Quality ingredients, paired so nicely with a nice and charming atmosphere. I am nominating this restaurant one of my new faves!

Taqueria los jarochos

★★★★★ 4.6 (52)

"One of my favorite food trucks! Everything is so good, but the tortas and tacos are my personal favorite. My husband loves everything oaxaca, so he requests oaxaca in his quesadilla. The red sauce has a nice kick, but the green sauce... oh man, I can drink that straight up. All of their meat portions are flavorful and generous, but once in a while it can get mixed up. My husband once ordered barbacoa, but instead got chunks of something fatty (we never figured out what it was).For the price and portions and quality, it can't be beat! Also, BIRRIA ON WEEKENDS!"

Jerk at Nite

★★★★☆ 3.6 (68) • $$

"Jerk at Nite was a lovely experience in the city.To set the scene, it's on a corner unit on the H street block, and there's a to-go station that is outdoors.Parking was decent, I parked in the neighborhood and my friend found parking across the street.There is not really a fleshed out waiting area, so considering the busy nature of the restaurant, you're going to be a bit awkward, either waiting in your car, waiting in the cold, or standing up in the limited space in the restaurant.Our server was quick to share her perspectives on the dishes we inquired about, and showed pride in how jerk at nite differentiated themselves from other food spots.Now, to the meat and potatoes (pun intended)Me and a friend both got the tropical punch, along with a water. The tropical punch had a layered taste to it- you could definitely taste the passion fruit, mango and more. For both my friend and I, we agreed it was a little watery. It felt like either the result of a syrup based drink, or, a jungle juice type drink where there's ice in the jug, and it melts over time. I didn't think it was too big of a deal, as the degree of watery-ness didn't ruin it. 5/10The Mac & Cheese is an extremely affordable appetizer for the size of dish that you receive. There were 5 people in our party, and we were easily able to split two dishes of the Mac & cheese at $13 a piece. It was extremely seasoned (in a good way), and it didn't have a nasty consistency about it, which is my complaint with a lot of Mac & cheese's. 10/10.The jerk chicken pasta was seasoned TO THE GODS. The sauce was prevalent, but not overwhelming, and the cheese was a nice touch. There even was a kick of spice to each bite. 8/10.I didn't order the tacos, however, the tortilla has a nice char on it, which I appreciate. It didn't fall apart with each bite, and there were enough ingredients within each taco that you're getting a combination of flavors with each bite.Be careful- there was a 18% gratuity included automatically on our check, and our server didn't go out of her way to point it out. One of our friends ended up paying $10 extra, on top of the service charge. That and the tropical punch was the only reason I give Jerk at Nite on H street: 4/5 Stars."

Tasty Empanadas

★★★★☆ 4.2 (49)

"When I tell you I daydream about these empanadas sometimes! I've tried quite a few empanadas and many of them, while having pretty good filling, don't have the type of flakey pastry quality I like. Tasty Empanadas definitely comes through with both amazing filling and an amazing crispy outside!My favorite by far is the cheese empanada. The owner told me that while this empanada is not necessarily authentic, it is a fan favorite among her kids. She blends three or four different cheeses all together resulting in some of the most satisfying cheese pulls you'll ever see. The chicken empanada is really amazing too and seasoned to perfection. I also love how there are options for vegetarians like beans, cheese, and spinach. Each empanada comes with dipping sauces that are super tasty and don't overwhelm the overall flavor of the empanada. I love this place because it is family owned and operated. It's run by a woman who works very hard to make these empanadas fresh every single day and many times you can find her kids working the counter for her. Sometimes they run back to the kitchen to heat up fresh batches and I've read that people get confused by this and think the stall is closed. I, however, think this is a great sign of a restaurant that cares about putting fresh, quality food into the hands of their customers despite maybe being a little understaffed. Don't be dissuaded by the lack of staff at the stall, they usually have a sign up indicating where they are and whether they are closed or not. I don't even live near here but any chance I get, I come by to get my empanada fix. Thank you Lourdes and her team for making these tasty treats!"

Money Muscle BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (51) • $$

"I used Door Dash to order a brisket sandwich from All Set Restaurant, which apparently is a black-owned restaurant that also owns this companion company (Muscle Money BBQ) as well. The sandwich was DELICIOUS! The brisket was moist and juicy. The bbq sauce was PERFECTION. The cole slaw was yummy, and I was worried about that because I do not even like mayonnaise. Everything about this sandwich was finger-licking good. The French fries it came with were soggy by the time it reached to me, but that means they were hot when they put them in the paper bag. I couldn't even complain because everything was just so darn good. I will definitely be back! 5 stars of out of 5!"

El Taquito Leon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (46) • $$

"Amazing birria tacos! The meat is so tender and well seasoned. The sauce is delicious, and I loved how they have the classic birria "drip" but they weren't OVERLY messy, if that makes sense lol. The rice and horchata were also amazing. 10/10, highly recommend!"

Fifty Fifty

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41)

"I am a vegetarian (not vegan) and really enjoyed the plant-based smash burger. You can build your own (many toppings are free), or have any of the menu combos but with the plant burger instead. I had the one with sour cherry jam and herbed goat cheese. So good! My only complaint is that they use the absolute cheapest buns you can find (like Walmart 8 pack). It would really elevate the experience if they upgraded the bun. Easy to order online or on their computerized menu in person, easy to carry out or eat there or in the brewery."

Capital Crab

★★★★☆ 3.9 (41)

"My Review In Statements #FoodCriticStyle:A hockey puck of crab meat sits daintily atop a thin layer of bright purple onion relish that covers the flat side of a buttery sumptuous brioche style bun. The top is brushed with a conservative amount of creole remoulade that melts into the cake and blends beautifully with the pickled onion below. Coleslaw is creamy, and though I scoff at the 5 dollar price tag, my food sense (much different than my common sense) begs me to get it because I feel it pairs perfectly with a crabcake sandwich. The portion of slaw is large. Clearly enough for 2 or maybe even 3 people, depending on how much of a slaw slore you are. I wish they would sell individual portions for 2.50. The crabcake is well cooked with noticeably brown top and bottom; almost resembling an english muffin. Having had the crabcake, I'm dying to try much of the rest of the menu.Things that really intrigue me are the : Crab balls, macaroni and cheese (with crab on top #obvi), the shrimp roll, and the hush puppies (just because their something you rarely find in the MD Burbs).The woman who handles my order and chats me and a fellow customer up is kind, friendly, trustworthy, and affable. This truck is parked 6 minutes from my home on a weekly basis now. This is dangerous. #CueRoxettesDangerousBTW: Crabcake sandwich was 15. It comes with chips. That day is came with jalapeno chips. It's well worth it."

Althea’s Almost Famous

★★★★☆ 3.9 (36)

"Okay, so I forgot to get a picture before I dug in, and by the time I realized I hadn't I had already enjoyed a good amount. So excuse the messy plate lol. I decided to give them a try at the Laurel Main Street Festival. I ordered the curry chicken with coco bread. When they were making my food, they told me they had run out of curry, so I could get something else. A few minutes later, they "found" some. It was a generous portion of food (two could share) that came with rice and peas and cabbage. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I'm also happy that the curry was a bit spicy. I know some places don't include peppers, but they did. My only complaint is that my chicken had quite a bit of bones in it. I'm wondering if it's because I may have been given the last of what they had. Other than that, it was very good."

Ashly’s Tacos Y Pupuseria

★★★★★ 4.7 (24)

"They have the best tacos and burritos in the area. Definitely try their carne asada. The food is always well packaged and quick to arrive after your order. They do have a few bench tables to sit at. Just a heads up It's cash only."

Sully's Seafood and BBQ

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (40) • $$

"In all my years of life, I thought I had seen it all with the bulletproof glass of Harold's Chicken Shack in Chicago. Step in Sully's Seafood & Subs, and you will find the world's first seafood takeout, liquor store, and check cashing place! Walking in, I didn't know what to expect and was excited to try some Baltimore fried seafood. Lined on the top of the wall are food specials, stacked neatly behind an impenetrable wall of bulletproof glass are lottery ticket scratchcards, refrigerators full of beer and pop and a video poker machine next to chairs for waiting.I ordered jumbo shrimp and a basket of shrimp since I wanted something crispy and seafood. They took my order and repeated through the loud mic that sounded similar to a Drive Thru microphone. As I sat down, I noticed how peculiar Sully's was since there were signs declaring 1% Payroll is the lowest in the state of Maryland. Apparently, I was also in a check cash shop and the liquor behind the counter justified all of the bulletproof glass considering the neighborhood.Another sign read, "Just bring your finger - No ID required after first check cash." Wonderful, in case you ever lose your ID, your fingerprints would be enough to get your checks cashed. I don't know anyone who likes to get fingerprinted, but to each their own! The food eventually arrived and I found the jumbo shrimp to be not so jumbo and without much flavor although it was crunch. The shrimp basket redeems Sully's in my eyes since there were plenty of pieces of shrimp and it had a good taste. The fries are cooked with the skin still on them so they were also very good. If you are looking to check out the world's first seafood/liquor store/check cashing/video poker spot in the world, come on down and take a bite out of Sully's!"

Boss Burger

★★★★☆ 4.3 (25) • $$

"Cool little carryout spot. They do offer some high top seating (two tables set up). There is seating along the wall for those just waiting inside to pickup their order. The place was nice and clean. Customer service was friendly. I ordered a chicken cheesesteak with everything plus hots and an order of cheesesteak egg rolls. The chicken was seasoned perfectly. The chicken in the cheesesteak sub was different than the chicken in the egg rolls. Both flavorful but the texture was different. I appreciated the fact that the sub wasn't messy, easy to handle and the bread though soft kept its hold. I'll be back for a repeat order and to try something different, maybe hotdog or a burger."

El Nene Latin Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (25)

"A random find across the street from the gas station - a forever win for my taste buds in Annapolis. Truly an unexpected find, if you're looking for quick and authentic tacos - look no further. Especially their rice, to die for!*chefs kiss*"

Key Neapolitan

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"Best Neapolitan style pizza! Truffle pig is my fav with bacon and truffle sauce! Service is quick and friendly! Can tell they're a hard working crew that are passionate about their business! The truck is in a prime spot with outdoor seating which is enjoyable when the weather is nice!"

Deja Roux

★★★★☆ 3.5 (34) • $$

"Deja Roux is a Cajun & Creole food truck offering a taste of Louisiana, based on their signage. They have a lot of New Orleans favorites: jambalaya, gumbo, and whatnot. My wife always has a hankering for Red Beans and Rice, and it is a good barometer of any Southern place's entire menu. The Red Beans & Rice had a very pronounced spicy burn, but no real flavor. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, although I think it was not helped that the beans were laid on top of a bed of plain white rice. My wife did not like them at all, though. Her favorite version still comes from a fast food chain that also has a French Connection, so maybe DR makes the mistake of actually caring about their customers' health and takes it easy on the salt and lard.Unfortunately, I think their Cornbread falls in that same boat. It definitely needs a boatload more butter or lard to keep it from being so dry (or maybe it sat for a long time, but it was dry and crumbly.)Napkins and utensils aren't automatically offered, and fortunately we checked our order before leaving and asked for a fork. I mention this because we also ordered a Boudin, a traditional Cajun sausage which was the star of the meal. The meat was incredibly soft but super spicy in a way that leapt out at you without hiding the flavor of the meat, and a bunch of those would have been amazing. The casing was far too tough and chewy, though. A knife would have helped to slice it up, as it is we had to tear it open with a fork to get at the meat as taking bites off the sausage was impossible."

Deddle's Mini Donuts

★★★★★ 4.6 (18) • $

"Short Version: Catered for our wedding. Amazing staff, great service, chicken and donuts were delicious, and great customer service. Full Version: My wife and I stopped by at their location in Baltimore with the idea to potentially use them for catering for our wedding. We loved the donuts (fried chicken is only for their food truck, not physical location) and decided to use them. Robin the owner was happy to answer our many questions and booking the date was very easy. We opted for 75 servings of chicken and donuts. The day of, the food truck arrived to the venue early to begin setting up. The staff was very friendly and were very quick with orders. People LOVED the food truck. The donuts came in several varieties and the chicken had several sauces we could use too.There was a minor miscommunication, but Robin provided two HUGE complimentary trays for a future event which was above and beyond. I had already informed her it was a minor issue and I wasn't going to leave a bad review, but she insisted on providing it anyway. This really shows that she stands behind her company and she cares about her customers. Overall 10/10!"

Achiote MCK

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19)

"A really delicious lunch! Got he pork belly bao and elote. Mayo on everything so flavorful, yes. Am looking forward to this truck returning to my workplace. Bao bread is lightly....fried? So the texture was crisp and soft. I would have enjoyed a fattier cut of meat but it was lean a juicy (props for that). Corn was juicy beautiful - I would have liked more char flavor; you could def. see the char lines on the corn."

Roaming Burger

★★★★☆ 4.2 (17)

"I was craving a GOOD burger, so I searched some local groups for recommendations and found Roaming Burger. Don't let the location fool you (gas station parking lot), these burgers are so good. $9 dollars for a grass fed burger? In this economy?! The single patty is huge and the flavor was fire! You can choose from many free toppings and the burgers come in either a single or double, similar to five guys . I can say with 100% certainty, this burger is the best burger you'll get in HOCO. Great flavor, fresh and the fries were awesome too! I've been two times and both times, the burger was excellent. My only complaint was the burger cheese fries. The burger needs to be chopped in smaller pieces and the melted cheese should be a sauce! Just my opinion. Support local and give them a try."

410 BBQ

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Hands down the best ribs both my partner and I have ever had. Mac & cheese, greens, and baked beans were also incredible. I discovered their food truck via the HoCo Food Truck page. What I really respect about his business is that he's transparent. I remember back in the summer they shared pictures on FB showing just how much it cost for a rack of ribs. I really appreciated that. To show "this is how much it costs for me to buy xyz" really spoke to me as a customer. Props for that. I'm pretty sure I saw that he uses a Myron Mixon grill or smoker. To those into BBQ you know that's something that makes you go hm. GH means business! Hands down best BBQ in Maryland."

Mediterranean Halal Food Cart - Eastern Ave

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"This cart has tasty food and is good value for money. One of their meat & rice platters could easily feed two people as long as you aren't extremely hungry. If you like your food spicier you should also ask for a bit less white sauce an extra hot sauce. Also, unlike some of the halal trucks in the area this one doesn't do falafel so it's not a great one for vegetarians."

Eat Like A Greek

★★★★☆ 3.9 (15)

"In an area with plenty of Greek restaurants, this place stands out. I can get a gyro practically anywhere, but these were hands down the best I've ever had. The meat had a nice sear on the outside while still being tender. The flavor was great. The pita tasted fresh, and the tzatziki was the perfect flavor and consistency. If you want an amazing gyro, you have to try this place!"

Soul Wingz Food Truck

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (42) • $$

"Just for reference, the location of this food truck is at 200 Florida Ave, NW, Washington DC. We tried this place via the TooGoodToGo app (an app to help save food waste!) So glad this was our first place to try using this app, since we were late and the food truck owner was super nice! We called her knowing we were running late since we came across a car crash on George Washington Memorial highway. She was totally understanding and friendly about it even tho normally she closes at 7pm. We got there around 7:15 and waited for a little bit before getting our surprise bag :) What we ended up getting was a meal filled with delicious fries and wings! I'm not sure what the sauce was, but it was sweet and yummy! Feels extra good to be decreasing food waste while trying out a new and delicious food place!"

Halal Brothers

★★★★★ 4.7 (10)

"I got some takeout from here when we stopped at the gas station here to get gas. Service was quick, and prices and portions are reasonable. I got the combo with chicken, beef, and falafel. Everything was seasoned great, and you have the option for spicy sauce or just the white sauce (taziki) This is definitely a good choice if you're in the area in need of a quick filling meal."

410 Empanadas, LLC

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (20)

"We ordered from this food truck tonight. The truck looked really nice and they had a variety of empanadas and other fried foods. The lady working the front was not friendly but still got the job done type of lady. We tried the original beef, Tex mex, and picadillo. Sadly the dough was kind of basic and not flaky. The fillings all kind of tasted the same. Overall the empanadas were ok."
