District Streatcar

The coolest way to get a slider in NOLA!Streetcars are part of the history and essence of New Orleans. Not only are they a great way to get around, they are also a great way apparently to get a meal. Yes, its actually a truck of some sort that has been converted to a street car. But they serve delightful small portions like cheese fries, donuts, and sliders. It can be difficult to find this little rolling food delivery system. There is no fixed location. So don't trust the location indicated on any static page online. They move around. Customer service is always fantastic. Food is always great. What more could you want??

Yes this business is a spin-off/branch/non-profit venture from the District Donuts folks. And it is a non-profit: http://www.districtstreetcar.com/about The Streatcar (that purposeful typo is hard to type) was near my work today so I my coworker and scarfed down some tasty treats. I had the tofu slider and she had the cheeseburger & fries (waffle style!).The service was fast and my tofu slider was delicious...check my photo. My coworker's waffle fries were super tasty and well-fried because you know I had to help her with those. She said her burger was super tasty but was perhaps a little pink for her. And, of course, I had to get a cinnamon sugar donut which is yummy. The streetcar is the sort that I remember as a tourist conveyance in the 80s so it's cool to see that style back on the street.

My coworker and I were excited to see this trolley car parked outside of our building this morning. We hope they come back again! Their "truck" is pretty cool. It looks like one of the San Francisco trolleys. They offer a scaled down version from their usual storefront. I got a cheeseburger slider with the waffle cut fries and she got the fried chicken slider with the waffle cut fries. Both were really tasty, although we would have liked them cooked just a little more. Both were a little bit pink in the middle still.We got a chocolate glazed donut too. It wasn't that great though. We look forward to getting the sliders again and maybe trying some coffee too!

A rolling delivery system for cheese fries and donuts. What more could anyone possibly want? Coffee or burgers or whatever else you normal people eat? They have them. A good cause to support? Yep, they've got that. A truck that brings delicious District Donuts food to you so you don't have to schlep down Magazine and use up way more than your allotted thirty minute lunch break? You guys, that's the whole point of this thing! Okay, actually, the point is to help young people in the foster system through the initiative We Don't Serve Kids. Weird name for a donut truck (streetcar), but it's a complaint, not an announcement. All the profits from the streetcar go to Crossroads NOLA, which provides services to kids in foster care. There is really nothing not to like here.Quick tip: Like many food trucks, these guys post on Instagram when they're going to be out so you know where to find them. Follow them and/or District Donuts for updates. And for pictures of donuts. Have I mentioned I love donuts?

The cutest little food truck that I ever did see! District Streetcar isn't near Tulane's Medical Center very often but I was lucky enough to try them out one afternoon when they were out here during lunch, Yay! Who doesn't love donuts, sliders and brew?- and all in the same food truck no less! Genius. Anywho, I stopped here with my mom to grab a bite and we decided to try the cheeseburger and an order of waffle fries. These folks know how to cook a great burger, I'm talking super juicy and lots of flavor. And although they're called 'sliders' the size of these little babies was substantial to the typical slider you'd receive from a place like Krystal. The waffle fries were excellent and cooked to perfection. I only wish I could have tried the donuts and brew, but my tummy could barely handle the large portion of sliders and fries I had already consumed so I will have to wait until they return to explore more of the menu {I'm thinking Vietnamese Iced Coffee and an Extra Fancy Donut my next go-round! If you have the opportunity to try them out, please do! You'll love their food; I guarantee it!

Small portions which are great for lunch, but I was really happy just to go to this particular food truck. Everything was prepared fresh, and the customer service was excellent.
