The Aahhs will be launching in mid-May 2012, serving up their soul food-inspired cuisine for DC and MD fans.  Experience The Aahhs!  Check out their page for the menu.

Rito Loco offers unique burritos, served up on toasted tortillas.  They forego the usual rice, beans, corn, and lettuce in favor of ingredients like pico de gallo, garlic & onion and fresh mint. Most exciting are their vegetarian items, like the FruitRito, which includes fresh fruit, granola, cinnamon & condensed milk.  They plan to start serving in DC in the next 3 weeks.  Their page contains a link to the menu.

O’Crepes has been off the road for a while and Capitol Greenz has been off the road for a month now, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that both trucks have been sold and are officially retired.  But, the circle of life continues in the DC food truck world as both trucks are being prepped by their respective owners to become a Vietnamese and a Korean truck. 🙂

Cupcake Joy launches today at 12tg & I NW! Check out their signature sweet potato cupcake. 🙂

A new Greek food truck is about to launch in DC, named Souvlaki Stop.  More info, including menu details, are on their page!
