Stopped in to check out the lamb over rice and the smash burgers. Both were spot on amazing. The crew were very nice and courteous. They followed up after we are to find out if we liked everything. Even let us sit in their lawn chairs while we ate. Great service and great food! Highly recommend

After visiting the Space Museum in Washington D.C., I looked for a good halal place to treat my guests. Based on Google reviews, I found this place and even called them to ask for directions. They were polite and welcoming on the phone. The food truck is run by a father and son, and they were both very friendly throughout our visit. There’s a wide variety of options. I think the prices are slightly above average, but they gave us a $1 discount on each meal just for being Google customers — thank you for that! Their hospitality was nıce from start to finish. However, there are a few important points I’d like to mention. First, unless I specifically asked, they prepared the food with bare hands, which gave me concerns about hygiene. Also, they initially gave us the wrong type of meat, but they corrected it when we pointed it out. In my opinion, the service is a bit slow — perhaps they could use a more professional hand in the kitchen. And finally, why is halal food always more expensive? I really hope that changes in the future. Answer: Throughout my life, one of the values I’ve cared about the most is being fair and honest. If you had read my review carefully and thoroughly, you would see that I clearly shared all the positive things I experienced with you. On the other hand, of course I also feel the responsibility to share with my followers the things I was not fully satisfied with — I simply wrote what I saw. What needs to change is not my review, but rather the things you might need to improve, don’t you think? If you are confident in your business, then there is no problem at all. I truly hope your business becomes even more successful and profitable, and that it continues for many years to come. Wishing you good health.

Amazing fresh food and great service. The father and son duo were super sweet. I got the lamb taco and a steak taco both full of flavor and freshness. My bf got the mozzarella sticks and Philly steak and he loved the taste and freshness as well.

I got the loaded nachos with salad. I'm pretty picky about salad dressing but this is REALLY good. Definitely give it a try! The kids got shawarmas and really enjoyed them as well!

Absolutely loved my experience at DC Food Wagon! The beef hotdog was absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked with a great snap and bold flavor. What really took it to the next level was the touch of fresh onions and tangy pickled cabbage on top—just the right balance of crunch, zest, and freshness. On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. The gentleman running the truck was incredibly personable and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk up. Whether you’re waiting in line nearby or just strolling through the streets of DC, this is without a doubt the best food truck to grab a bite. Quick, flavorful, and served with a smile—DC Food Wagon is a must-try!
