Excellent flavors, excellent quality of ingredients. Really good portion. Usually you get one or the other, but they give good tastes and value for your money. I made the mistake of trying the OTHER Peruvian truck - never again.
Usually el Fuego also has excellent customer service, but the order-taker stepped out, leaving the cook to do everything for 10 minutes. Some orders got mixed up, but we all got want we wanted in the end. It was worth the wait.

What Did You Order?: Roasted pork sandwich, chicken tamale • 
Is This One Of Your Favorite Trucks?: Yes • 
How Much Did It Cost?: 8 for the sammie, 5 for the tamale 

I like this truck as it's been consistent on quality since I first tried it a couple of months ago-revisited it again today at L'Enfant. The roasted pork sandwich includes thinly sliced sweet potato as the bottom layer, then a generous portion of roasted pork, and is topped with a flavorful onion slaw called "sarsa" and the "special sauce". It is very filling and a good deal for the price. Tried the Peruvian style chicken tamale for the first time today and it is good; the meat was well seasoned and it's larger than a traditional Mexican or Salvadoran tamale. This only had chicken inside, no veggies like chick peas or potatoes but it was also served with a side of the onion "sarsa" slaw and sauce. Great stuff!


SO GOOD! And lots of green sauce was available--No other place gives me the amount of green sauce I crave! Keep coming to Farragut and Franklin Square

This was my first time eating at a food truck near my new job. There were tons of options and I literally walked passed all of them to read the menu, consider pricing, and gauge the popularity of the truck by the number of people waiting. After about 15 minutes I decided on El Fuego and the El Fuego burger because I love Peruvian food, the pricing was reasonable, and the use of a fried egg on the burger (one of my favorite burger toppings). I was really excited when I got back to my office, but sadly was disappointed once I started to eat my food.

The menu describes the burger as "Peruvian style" and I don't think I understand this. I've never had a Peruvian style burger, so I guess I don't have anything to compare it to other than the Peruvian style steaks I've thoroughly enjoyed. The burger was tasteless and almost dry. I wasn't asked how I'd like my burger cooked so there was no escaping the dry part. But the tastelessness was shocking. The Peruvian style steaks I've enjoyed were so well seasoned that I could eat it cold and STILL enjoy the flavor. This burger, fresh off the grill, was just bland.

Also in the menu description was the use of the signature El Fuego Sauce. I couldn't tell you what it taste like because I don't think I had any of it on my burger.

All in all, I was pretty disappointed by the meal. Yes, it was a good hearty portion, yes it was quickly made to order, but it was not at all what I expected of a Peruvian food truck. I'm not definitely not going to try the burger again, and I hope if I do return and try some of the other dishes that the other menu items are MUCH better.
