Who Picked: Eric & Nick

This week was not as hot and a few office mates decided to join us for 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 the Arepa Crew food truck.

Nick decided to go with the beef Pabellón arepa, which also includes black beans, shredded white cheese, and sweet plantains. The arepa could barely contain all of the filling and was very filling. The flavors mixed well together, but the plantains didn’t really shine through. It would have been nice if the cheese was a bit more melted. A white sauce was included on the side and it had a nice garlic taste to it.

Eric went with the Perico arepa, which has scrambled eggs, tomato, onions, and cheese. As you can see from the picture, this arepa was overflowing with filling and cheese, they really hooked it up. The filling looked more like meat since it was mixed with onions and tomato, but it tasted like a delicious omelette. Arepa are best, but I haven’t ever seen them offered in a restaurant, only from 2 different food trucks. We also got a side order or Tequeños which tasted like mozzarella wrapped in a crescent roll type dough. Needless to say, they were delicious, especially when dipped in the white garlic sauce.
