Food For The Soul

Visited the Food Lady food truck yesterday for lunch at the Business Center Drive food truck mania in Reston. There were half a dozen trucks and I picked this one. Scrumptious pulled pork BBQ sandwich. Tangy sauce. Decent size. Came with side of cole slaw (bland) and fries (crinkle cut, yummy).
I would definitely visit this food truck again – and again. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items.

Embarrassingly long wait time. However the food was good; crinkle cut fries were hot and crispy and the cubana had all the correct elements with perhaps a tad too much mustard, grilled til nice and melty. Unfortunately nothing was worth the 25 minute wait i endured.

So I think a review longer than a sentence for this food truck is due. I work near the Wiehle Metro Construction in Reston, and the company next door has asked a few food trucks to come into the area. Anna’s Food for the Soul (aka Food Lady) is in the rotation. They have a nice menu that included beef or chicken tacos (served «bowl style» with lettuce and tortillas on the side for $.50 more). I got the beef bowl, and got a nice box filled with beef, beans, rice, lettuce, and two medium sized tortillas. Maybe a tad skimpy on the meat, but all that and 2 cookies for $ 9 is on par with the other food trucks in the rotation.
Other options include a bison burger, pulled pork BBQ, a cuban panini, and a smoked kielbasa — all served with fries for $ 8.50. Many patrons were ordering (and raving about) the bison burger. And they have a corn on the cob side that is advertised as being «slathered in lime mayo». I must try this in the future.
Not sure what the other reviewer stated about «hidden charges». All prices are clearly advertised, they take credit cards, and my card was charged accurately. Like most food trucks, food is going to be a tad pricy for what you get … but you are also saving on gas and time and have to factor that into the equation for overall value.
Anna — I’ll be back for that corn!

The carne Asada tacos were awesome! They are fresh and fast to deliver plus they make sure you have everything you need.

Unadvertised hidden charges! Definitely run by unethical people!
AVOID!!!

I’ve had the Carne Asada tacos twice now, always fresh and delicious!

I had a bison burger with fries for lunch today, and it was great! Plentiful toppings, amazing flavor, and fairly quick service. I had to make sure I didn’t drip anything on my shirt on my way back to the office!
I’ll be back!
