KBBQ Taco Box Food Truck @ Crystal City Food Truck Thursday – 7/20/2017

Where: KBBQ Taco Box Food Truck – @dckbbqbox
When: 7/20/2017
Who Picked: Eric & Nick
It was another hot one in NoVA, with the heat index up near 100°, but we decided to brave the heat and head over to Food Truck Thursday in Crystal City. The trucks can usually be found in the parking lot just across from the Metro Station on 18th St. and Crystal Drive. There were 7 or 8 trucks when we arrived, but we both chose to hit up KBBQ Taco Box, a Korean BBQ Taco Fusion truck.
#TheFood
Nick went with the Spicy Pork Taco Box, which comes with a spicy pork taco, spicy chicken wing, salad with house ginger dressing, and two fried cheese rolls with spicy mayo. The taco had a good amount of heat to it and all of the items within mixed very well together. The chicken wing was cooked perfectly and the sauce was great, but it was a little smaller than the wings I am used to. The ginger dressing and salad were a nice addition. The fried cheese rolls had some combination of rice and cheese and were cooked perfectly and tasted excellent.
Eric went with the Bulgogi Taco, which also came with a spicy chicken wing, salad with ginger dressing and two fried cheese rolls with spicy mayo. The Bulgogi was saucier than expected, but still had really good flavor, decent size too. The taco was hot temperature wise, which is a good thing, just notable because of the weather. The wing sample was good and I am glad they included it so I could try it. Same with the cheese rolls, I saw it on the menu as a lunch option and was debating trying it, ended up getting to try it anyways with the taco. The salad was not for me, it was a nice touch, but a little too small and it got warm quickly.
Both of our meals also came with a small item that appeared to be some sort of dessert. It said keep frozen on it but was totally liquid when we got it, but was cold. After trying it, we both agreed it tasted like Smarties.

Eric saw this @CommonwealthJoe coffee cart and wanted to try it since he saw them on Twitter. $4.77 for a nitro cold brew coffee. It was good to try it once, but Eric is no coffee connoisseur. The nitro tap did give it a nice smoothness and the coffee was pretty decent, no real bitterness as the coffee guy pointed out. #CommonWealthJoe #TheseMillennialsWillBuyAnything
#Regrets
Not splitting an order of fried cheese rolls. The heat.
#Decor
The lighting was very bright and it was quite hot inside this restaurant. The food truck was nicely decorated.
#TotalBill
The bill was just under $10 each. The truck accepts credit cards.
