We recently heard about a “secret” item on the menu at Big D’s Grub Truck. It’s been a while since we’ve visited Dennis (Big D), and now that we’re back from LA, it seemed as good a time as any.

Walking up to the truck, the menu had tacos, grinders and rice bowls. We told Dennis that we had heard about a “secret” menu item and asked what it was, how much it cost, and if it was available.

The answers were a burrito for$6, and yes, it was available. We opted for the spicy chicken and waited for our lunch.

It’s been a while since we checked in with Big D’s Grub Truck. Big D (Dennis) has a nice menu of Korean tacos, grinders and rice bowls. Last time we had a grinder, so this time we decided to get an order of tacos.

The tacos come 3 for $7, and there’s plenty of food for your hard-earned lunch money.  As for deciding which tacos to order, the choices are bulgogi beef, spicy pork, ginger chicken or spicy chicken.

Big D’s Grub Truck was the 2nd Korean taco truck to hit the NYC streets, opening in late January 2011.  While they also have Korean tacos, what sets them apart are their grinders, which you can get with 4 different meats and cost $7 each.

I asked Dennis (Big D) to give me his favorite grinder, which he said was the spicy pork.  I also got an order of 4 dumplings for $3.

It’s been a little while since I’ve been to Big D’s Grub Truck, so I stopped by to see if anything new was going on.  Talk about perfect timing!

Dennis (Big D) had just introduced a new menu item – rice platters – to go along with his Korean tacos, grinders, dumplings and fries.  It was so new, today was only the 2nd day it was available, and it wasn’t even on the printed menu.

There was a handwritten sign in the window saying “rice platter $10 with free soda”.  You also get a choice of meat to go with the rice – bulgogi beef, ginger chicken, spicy chicken or spicy pork.

Today’s Lunch is the spicy pork rice platter ($10 with a free soda) from Big D’s Grub Truck.

Big D’s Grub Truck have been supplementing their main menu the past few weeks with special appetizers, such as vegetarian dim sum spring rolls from the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown and Vietnamese spring rolls from a new Vietnamese eatery opening soon in the NYC area.

Today they had sriracha chicken wings ($3), which I got for Today’s Lunch, along with an order of pork & chive dumplings ($3).
