I really liked Tropic Burger. The food tasted fresh and reasonably priced for what you get. The truck was near the air and space museum which made it a convenient stop between my whirlwind of touristy sight seeing.

The food is delicious, and the portions generous. The service is thoughtful. Since returning to the office this food truck was most consistently available and I worked my way through most of the menu finding everything tasty. After trying most of it, I found my favorites to be the steak and cheese combo and the chicken nugget combo. The steak and cheese is flavorful and filling and the fries are always good. As for the nuggets, the portion is quite generous, so you can't go wrong. My service always came with a smile and kind word, and that also helps keep me coming back.

The pepito is the best in town, and the sauce. This is really authentic Venezuelan food. Great service!

After eating from here, you'll feel fat and happy; better then being hangry right?Spicy Pepito (spicy steak sandwich): get this eff'ing item! It's large and filled with goodies including potato crisps, corn, and jalapeños. Great texture, flavor, heat, and filling ness. While they have other sandwiches and burgers, this is their signature sandwich and puts its stamp on the food truck industry as a force to be reckoned with.I almost fell asleep at my desk after eating it because of how full I was. But I have no regrets. If that's how you feel after a meal, you know the business did it right!

If you can't decide on what to order and want a taste of the Venezuelan twist, go with the Grilled Chicken "Burger" as it is full of the key components and flavors that make up the unique taste...and given that the juicy chicken is grilled, it is one of the healthier options on the menu as well.Enjoy!

Fresh and Yummy burgers and steak sandwiches. We stopped by after a trip to the American History museum. A lot of trucks with mostly the same type of food. Burgers chicken sandwiches and wings. The owner was extremely friendly and was very hygienic changing his gloves when handling money and food. Big props to Tropic Burger stands out amongst the crowd of food truck vendors.

While me and my boyfriend were around the capital and it's museums, we saw this food truck and decided to give it a try. The guy that served us was super friendly, he chatted us up while our food was getting ready. The owner himself is from Venezuela and recently moved to DC after the Venezuelan crisis. They have plenty of good options for those who enjoy savory and spicy. We got our burgers and they super stuffed it with almost everything. If you are super hungry and need something filling and tasty, this is definitely the place to go, especially after a long day of walking. Just make sure you get lots of napkins because eating the burgers is going to be messy, but totally worth it!

This is one of my favorite lunch spots in NOMA! The guy who runs it is super friendly and kind, and the portions are always huge. I wish I'd tried this place sooner!*I only ordered fries and a coke today, since I wasn't super hungry and still ended up demolishing the whole thing!
