Sauca
Sauca gets four stars for service, smiles, and making me think that D.C. is moving one step closer (though still miles away from) Portland’s revered street food scene.
A coworker sent out a message the day before the truck was parked at MacPherson Square, a few blocks from our office, entitled “Important toffle news!” and three of us made a plan to head over the next day for lunch. The truck was right along the square when we arrived, and there wasn’t too much of a line around 11:30 am when we arrived.
My favorite food truck in DC, hands down. Bring it on, Fojol Brothers or Red Hook: these warm pita sandwiches have yet to find a rival served out of a window.
On the pork banh mi: the sauces were delicious, the bread was fluffy, and the veggies (what there were of them on the sandwich) were tasty. I’ve gone back many times since my first visit, and (when they haven’t sold out yet) the pork banh mi remains my go-to favorite.
And a side note: bring exact change if you can! The guys really appreciated it, so much that they gave us each one of their homemade lemonades. Too sweet for my taste, so I ended up diluting it and adding some extra lemon at home, but the orange blossom and mint infusion was interesting.
