anyone ever come across 'tacos al carbon' in south florida? THE BEST they have a couple trucks that go out into the sugar cane fields. plus converted a gas station at lake worth rd and military trail in to a restaurant. SOoooo GOOD.

one point about the On the Fly tacos (I'm assuming the one by the Nats stadium is the same, since they have the same menu)... the tacos are really, really good, but they're smaller than a taco bell taco. i'd say there's about a half-cup of filling. even the tiny-lunch-eaters in my crowd asked when lunch was after we ate our two tacos.

Huh funny that On the Fly marks up Julia's Empanadas pretty obviously - they're a little more than $3 in an actual Julia's.

I think it moved to the Union Station area during the winter. I haven't seen it in that area in months though.

Does anyone know whether the schwarma kart still exists? I haven't seen it in a while.

A Tale of Two Taco Carts? "It was the best of tacos, it was the worst of tacos." No, that would be the KFC/Taco Bell mashup store at Bladensburg and New York.

Oooh, a doner kebab van would be better than sex... Every time I travel I am jealous of everyone else's street food. Portland (OR) and Toronto, especially.

I'll trade all the taco trucks in Mount Pleasant for a single doner kebab van. And yet Leesburg gets all the doner and curry wurst goodness. There is no god.

I, for one, am glad that I work close to Taqueria Nacionale. This is my third time going this week.
