Awesome Wife and I had a tough week. In no particular order, (1) we both got colds; (2) I broke my toe in a Whole Foods accident; and (3) AW had to have her regular, but very stressful, scans (long story, but see her website for all the details.) So on Friday, we decided to check out the monthly festival known as Truckeroo (or, it could be Truckaroo, both seem acceptable variants.) Truckeroo is a festival of 21 trucks, a bar (also serving water and soda, for us tea-totalers), corn-hole games, and a live band, which takes place on the apparently abandoned site of the Half-Street Condos, near Nationals Park.
There were a lot of trucks to choose from, many with vegan options. We opted for the short line at Sabora Street--neither of us had ever eaten there before. The result---awesome food in a great atmosphere. Sabora Street describes itself as "Latin-inspired street food." For vegans, the choice is pretty simple--there is a chili-glazed tofu that is wrapped in either arepas or soft tacos, with avocado and a salsa, and a fresh corn and onions on the side. There is also a house-made hot sauce. The owner/operator was very friendly and familiar with veganism--unlike some other truckers--and noted that the aioli contained eggs, so that should be omitted. The food was tasty, with a nice zing, especially smothered in hot sauce. Plenty of food--both AW and I left some of our portion. You could taste how fresh the corn was, and all in all, we were very pleased, and would return. Using my 1-4 wheel system, I give Sabora 3.5 wheels.
Most importantly, Truckeroo made us feel a helluva lot happier!
"I broke my toe in a Whole Foods accident" cracked me up. Actually. Still laughing.
