Duktruck - San Antonio

I have wanted to try Jason Dady's DUK truck for so long and finally know where to find them on Friday nights. What a wonderful WOW food experience. The DUK tacos are so good with the duck confit and the add the pineapple, crema and a squirt of fresh lime juice. Such a treat. The bahn mi is most excellent! Three cheers for the DUK!

DUK Truck has to be my favorite food truck in SA. It blows the rest of food trucks out of the water. I mean really, it is just on another level! I have tried Chef Jason Dady at a Yelp event before and really enjoyed it. So when I heard he also owns a food truck called DUK Truck that sells Asian steamed buns, I am so there! I went to the restaurant week food truck event in downtown just to try the DUK Truck. I ordered the Asian steamed buns of course. It came with a salad too as a special. I have to tell you these buns are NO JOKE. The buns were super soft, the meat was melt in your mouth tender mixed with unexpected greens and other ingredients. It was heavenly! The salad was not your everyday salad. It was high class, very well made with goat cheese, pear, etc. I can't say enough good things about the DUK Truck. For the Asian steamed buns alone, it is a five star food truck hands down! I might have to start stalking them to satisfy my cravings. As I said, once you go Asian (steamed buns), you never miss an equation!

Banh-Mi, DUK tacos with pineapple, mixed greens that are right in line with Dady restaurants, and thai red curry. Maybe over the summer they will bring back that nutella mousse, gelato, cream concoction? Maybe??

I've been curious about DUK Truck for a while and decided to grab a bite here. For those who frequent Alamo St. Eat Bar and wonder why Jason Dady's truck isn't present I suggest you go the Facebook page and find out where it is. I ordered a bahn mi sandwich, 86 the ginger mayo and got a Sanpellegrino lemonade from another truck. Minutes later the sandwich was ready for pickup. I bit into it and at first was impressed with the pulled pork with the touch of Sriracha along with the shredded carrots, cilantro and jalapenos. I like hot and spicy stuff but I held off on adding anymore hot sauce. The bread was crusty on the outside however wasn't hard and crusty enough to withstand all the grease from the pulled pork and fell apart before I was done with it. By the time I got to the last bite the remainder of the sandwich was soggy. Not really the way a banh mi sandwich was supposed to be according to my expectations. It felt like I was eating a Chicago style Italian beef sandwich. It was still good though. Next time I'll try the Asian steamed buns.

Finally caught up with DUK truck today and it was worth the wait (but I don 't wanna have to wait that long ever again. It was a toss-up between the DUK tacos and their cucumber salad but then I thought, A salad? What am I, a girl? It was the right choice because these tacos were loaded with delicious stuff. Everything from the handmade tortillas to the shredded duck to the pineapple topping with crema was spot on! There was a surprise crunch in that first bite and I was delighted to see these tacos also included the most important category in the food pyramid: BACON. For two tacos, it was $8 bucks which I 'll gladly pay over and over again!
