Arepa Zone got in touch with me and also tweeted that they will be opening on Monday in Arlington, VA!  Menu details are forthcoming, so keep an eye out for updates to their page.  The cuisine is: Venezuelan!

The Fojol Bros, DC’s first food truck, announced on Sunday that they have retired the last of their 3 food trucks due to the aging fleet of 1950’s – 60’s trucks.  The Washington City Paper has more info.  Also, the Fojol Bros’ Elastic Highways project is on hold, but they are still operating their kitchen in Hyattsville.  We are all curious to see what the Fojols’ will surprise us with next!

Just announced: Chick-fil-A food truck adds waffle fries to their menu!  When the truck first launched almost two years ago, many were disappointed to learn that the usual menu was not rounded out with waffle fries. According to a couple of tweets this morning, waffle fries are now on the menu – enjoy! They will be serving at Farragut Square today (3/25).

Tapas Truck went off the FTF radar last fall, but appears to be re-joining the food truck fiesta at the end of this month! 🙂 Here is a link to the relevant tweet. Welcome back, Tapas Truck!

It’s always bittersweet to report when a food truck (or, cart in the case) retires to focus on their brick and mortar shops. I’m guilty of dragging my feet in posting this as a result. 😉

Last Friday was District Taco’s last day running their Arlington-based carts, as reported by ARLNow. The continued success of their brick and mortar business and a focus on opening their new Dupont Circle location contributed to the decision.

With a planned Crystal City retail spot, we will actually be able to enjoy a set of delicious corn tortilla tacos with more frequency and convenience. Congrats to District Taco!

Thanks to David for the original tip.
