Rito Loco Food Truck

Rito Loco began as a food truck, which started rolling on the streets of Washington, DC in 2012. Owner Louie Hankins quickly knew he had a hit on his hands. Lines lurched down DC streets crowded with guests waiting to get their fill of the truck’s signature tacos and namesake toasted ‘ritos.
‍
Fast forward to 2015, Rito Loco’s loyal following gave rise to our Shaw brick-and-mortar, which is slinging an expanded menu of specialty tacos, our signature toasted ‘ritos and more in the heart of the city. Find our truck on the streets, stop by our Shaw shop, place an online order here for pickup or opt for delivery through several of your favorite apps to get your Rito Loco fix!
