Tortuga | Hip Gourmet Food Truck in Tyson’s Corner

October 29, 2011 By Doug Francis

Tortuga Food Truck Vienna Virginia

A gourmet kitchen on wheels!

Where is @TortugaTruck today?

Always on the lookout for a good lunch, I stumbled across Tortuga in Tyson’s Corner. Yes, the gourmet food truck has arrived and I haven’t been disappointed yet.

Officially added to my list of regular lunch spots and the chicken Guadalajara is my favorite sandwich.

The theme of classic sandwiches based upon the Mexican street “Torta” includes skirt steak, roast pork, and fresh grilled summer squash all made to order. It is a gourmet kitchen on wheels that is along the line of anything you have seen in D.C., New York or L.A.

The “Havana” is tasty

Seems that Andrew (you’ll meet him) decided that there was a good opportunity in Fairfax Virginia for a gourmet food truck and he seems to sell out every day. One day a week he is in Merrifield, Vienna or Reston so you will need to follow him on Twitter @TortugaTruck to know where he is every day… especially when you have a hankering for something exceptional.

Finding a hip sandwich truck in Fairfax isn’t going be easy, and I use an iPhone App call “Food Truck Fiesta”to see where these guys are in the DC Metro area including Arlington.

Skirt Steak, Roast Pork, Grilled Summer Squash

reading the menu made me hungrier!

Made to order

My suggestion to Andrew: Get that detailed menu up on the web site since Tortuga’s site isn’t gonna sell someone sitting in their office on Greensboro Drive to actually run downstairs and head over to the truck.

Hey, they should and seeing your fresh menu will do it!

Yes, he does have a Tortuga web site if you want to read more about his truck.

If you are, right now, sitting in your office at Booz Allen, Cvent, Monster, SAIC or Wells Fargo then you might want to track this truck before he sells out for the day.

About Doug Francis

A Realtor specializing in unique and new homes around Vienna, Virginia, Doug started writing a first-hand blog about his everyday real estate experiences a decade ago. In depth, helpful and fun has always been the objective. Outside real estate, he was profiled in a commercial for Verisign's "Where the World Clicks" campaign, and was quoted in Money Magazine's Best Places to Live article on Vienna. He's a Boston University graduate who feels morning coffee is non-negotiable.

Helping my clients add value to their home has always been important to me. My step-by-step recommendations are intended to increase market appeal, return more then invested, and help net more when selling.

Beyond just sellers, I have helped many new homeowners make smart design decisions when remodeling. We gutted our house and totally remodeled it, and I pass that experience along because living in a nice house is simply better.

My background… I’ve been an active licensed agent in Virginia for 25 years, work at TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in McLean, and sell homes in all price ranges. I donate to the Town of Vienna tree replacement fund, participate in a neighborhood citizens association, and try my best to stay in shape.

Transitioning Into Retirement | Your Real Estate Plan

Maybe it was the gray hair, the years of experience, or just being in my late 50’s that helped introduce me to clients who are transitioning into retirement and are downsizing. The baby-boomer retirement plan was accelerated by “Covid-19” as long time owners found the old house was just too big. The retirement dream became […]
