DUK Truck

I went to the Restaurant week event and decided to try this place. I was completely disappointed. I got one taco with little meat and some lettuce for $ 8. Not worth it at all. I would never eat here again.

eventhough we didnt get to have the steamed buns, the experience was no short of amazing! I had the duck tacos which had pineapple, cilantro and a sauce. i m just truly impressed by this chef’s palate; he really knows how to fuse flavors togather. The other taco we tried was a beef one with pickled onion, radish and some other goodnesses that i dont even quite remember… If you enjoy trying new things and fusion food, this is one that you must not miss out on!

So happy the DUK truck is back in downtown for lunch! By far my favorite food truck. My favorite thing there are the duck sticky buns. Even if you don’t like duck you should give these a try — or get a nonduck item if you are anti duck altogether. The sticky buns are doughy gooey sloppy deliciousness. These are doughy sticky buns with duck meat, cilantro, and some other stuff with a sweet and asiany sauce. These are very hard to eat standing up and even sitting down they fall apart.
Today however the truck at Travis Park didn’t have any so I got the duck tacos instead. These were great — corn tortillas duck, a good sauce, cilantro and pineapple. I added some Cholula for heat. I could have done without the pineapple or at least without so much — but it was on top and easily eaten separately.
Most food trucks I find overpriced and less than unique. My tacos at the DUK truck ran me $ 8 where some beef fajita tacos at a local Mexican food place maybe would be $ 5. DUK truck is worth every penny and so phenomenally better than run of mill tacos somewhere.
A must try!

Worth the wait, duk tacos are spicy and leave the right amount of kick. Don’t be shy to try pork belly tacos too! They’re both wicked good.

A food truck WORTH stalking.
Outstanding.
I crave their steamed buns and banh mi sandwiches.

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 Unilocal 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!

Loved it! The Duck tacos were so good! My cousin and I both got an order and boy am I glad we did. We both ate every bit of our tacos! The tacos were the perfect texture combination. The crunch of the fried duck fat, and the creaminess of the cream and jalapeño purée went amazingly well together. I want to eat these tacos EVERY DAY!
The best part was is that as good as the duck tacos were, the mixed green salad was even better. I’m all about the texture of my food and this salad had it going perfectly. The crunch of the mixed greens, green apples and candied pecans went so well with the champagne vinaigrette and goat cheese. There are not enough adjectives in the world to describe the deliciousness of this salad. Amazing and a must try are two good ones to start with I guess.
To try this food truck food is to love this food truck food. Go! Love the food!

The DUK tacos were super tasty… crunchy, fatty duck rolled in with a buncha delicious sweet, creamy, and fresh flavors like pineapple, cilantro, etc. The corn tort was homemade, too, I think… paired perfectly with a cold beer and great post-​drinking food!

dem DUK tacos be givin me mouth boners

The Duk Truck made its way to Saglimbeni Fine Wines on Rhapsody this weekend. It was hotter than Hades outside but the chef kept his cool. I had the bánh mì sandwich and my wife the steamed oxtail buns. Both were delicious. Beautifully presented with fresh herbs (cilantro, mint). Meats were perfectly good, tasty, and juicy. We should have had more! At only $ 8 each, you can’t go wrong. Two thumbs up for Duk Truk. Yet another Jason Dady success!

Great little surprise on a Thursday afternoon in downtown SA. Steamed buns with braised short ribs were amazing. Very light foot traffic in the area so I’m a little perplexed at how these guys can keep the lights on with such good food and good ingredients.
Anyway, here’s hoping they take a wrong turn and end up in the DC area someday.

The whole menu looks delicious. After some much needed self control, I decided on the oxtail steamed buns. I am a sucker for a good steamed bun. Tender braised oxtail served on a perfectly steamed pillow of a bun. The bell pepper relish on top is a nice textural addition. Can’t wait to return.

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.

This truck is putting out some outstanding food! The duck confit tacos are just a little bit of heaven. When I bite into the duck confit tacos, there is a moment of pure splendor as pineapple, crunchy duck, cream and cilantro come together. I don’t eat the, as often as I should, it might make my life more complete.
All the other food on the truck is good, banh mi sandwiches seem to be everyone’s new favorite, but I’m gonna stick with the duck.
As always follow them on twitter and Facebook to find out where they’re hanging out

How does DUK Truck only have 8 reviews?! C’mon Unilocalers, get on board! This is the only restaurant, much less food truck that is doing what they do with food.
I’m actually quite sad that I devoured the banh mi as fast as I did, because while it was delicious, I won’t be able to give it a worthy description. But with pork belly, and fresh bread involved, I’m sure you can deduce what it was like. What you really should not miss is the duk tacos. A take on al pastor that all us San Antonians are familiar with, the combination of perfectly crisp duck, plus pineapple and cilantro makes DUK truck the ultimate booze-​induced street food session.
The truck is well equipped with any hot sauced your heart could desire, just beware, the banh mi already has sriracha on it, don’t make the same mistake I did in adding more.

Oh DUK Truck… how I love thee. You make my heart and stomach skip a beat when you are near.
If anyone in this city has not yet had the glorious food that this truck puts out then they are missing some MAJORLY good eats. I have tried literally everything on the menu and there isn’t one thing that I would change… seriously. Every bit is perfectly balanced and the meat (duck of course) is cooked to perfection.
So if you’re ever in a 20 mile vicinity of this place you should scout them out. Thank me later.

The only place in Texas where I have had amazing, tasty, crispy duck. Their duck tacos are phenomenal. I want to go back and eat more things.

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!

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!

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?
