Fajita Sub Factory

After walking past this truck almost daily for 3 years and hearing my coworkers rave about this place I decided to give it a try. Today I ordered 2 chicken tacos and a Chorizo chicken taco with black beans and rice… the verdict? This place is pretty… actually VERY darn delicious! The food was fresh and was seasoned well. I liked the «salsa bar» where I got to add guacamole, pico de gallo, and a medium salsa for no additional cost. All of this for $ 8 is unheard of in DTSS. This will be my new lunch spot since I work 2 blocks away :-).

Glad to say this cute food truck is as wonderful as ever!
Ceviche arepa is great and only $ 6. Fajita sub with steak with rice & beans is delicious and $ 8. The food here is so fresh, delicious & cheap, it’s a real find!

Who would have known a quick trip to the gas station could lead to heaven in a breakfast sandwich. All I can say is FRESH! Freshly chopped veggies, food cooked to order, etc. the breakfast sandwich had the most awesome texture I’ve only experienced with some of New Orleans York’s best thin crust pizza. It was the perfect blend of egg, turkey ham, black beans and fresh salsa. To top it off I had fresh mango juice. All this deliciousness for under $ 8. OMG! I will be back!

Love the arepas! … This place has become my favorite place in Silver Spring… at least 3 times a week I eat there… I highly recommend the «carne mechada,» and the «reina pepiada» my favorites. You won’t regret.

The arepas here are very fresh and delicious, highly recommended. The salsa bar toppings also seem fresh and house-​made. The owner is very friendly and it’s a nice place to stop for a lunch — you get a good sized portion for the money.

This is my second time getting lunch at this hidden gem I stumbled on while looking to catch a quick lunch.
I didn’t take pictures of what I got so you’ll really just have to take my word when I say the arepas are AMAZING. The first time I went I got la Catira, its a chicken based arepa. I topped it off with their avacado and garlic sauce from the salsa bar– I couldn’t believe all that flavor could come from a food truck. I added a side guacamole– some of the freshest I’ve ever tasted.
My boyfriend got the Pabellon. They sold him when he read that it had plantains in it. It was also so flavorful.
We tried their carrot, beet, and orange juice– super refreshing– also reminded me that I have a place to get a clean juice when I’m on a diet binge!
We also had the pleasure of having our orders taken by the owner. She is so personable and has a great sense of love for what she does.
Overall a great place! I hope they take it to a restaurant level one day– I’d definitely go!

Excellent Arepas! I got the Pabellon arepa which is the most traditional Venezuelan style they have. Salsa bar is excellent too! Found this gem between getting off the metro and catching my Über nearby. Worth standing in the parking lot to eat while hot!

Delicious and cheap, Fajita Sub Factory is a great spot to pick up lunch in Silver Spring. And if you get a chance try out their fresh juices!

Extremely convenient, it is a trailer but it is a hiding gem. Their arepas are magnificent. I would definitely come back here when I am in the silver spring area, I’ll tell family and friends about it.

FINALLY A JUICE PLACE IN SILVER SPRING!!! How did I not know about this sooner?!
Super convenient. Delicious fresh juice. Sweet staff.
I will be there everyday!

Great to find a excellent Arepa near me :)

I might have had unreasonably high hopes for this little food truck…
You operate out of a vintage Airstream: Sold!
You are serving a new, at least to me, type of latin food called a corn «sub»: Sold!
You’re located at a gas station: As some of my favorite MD institutions: Sold!
You have 18 reviews with 4.5 stars: Sold!
The problem was… I was a little nonplussed about the food I ordered: I decided to get the Corn sub: Carne Machada which is described as «Shredded beef with aji dulce». I’ve never had aji dulce, but I assumed that it was a sweet sauce as «Dulce» is Spanish for sweet or candy.
They asked me if I wanted cheese on on the corn sub, and I asked for whatever cheese would normally come on it. They were like «whatever you’d like», and then I said, what type of cheese would you put on it? And they were like «queso fresco». So I was like… Ok, that’s perfect.
Well, the whole thing turned out to be way way salty and a bit greasy too. The «sub» (I keep putting quotes around that as I don’t think anyone would describe it as a sub) is more of a large circular sandwich. The outer corn griddled pancake thing they use instead of bread is decent, albeit does not have much flavor (except for a good deal of saltiness). The beef was cooked well, but it just seemed to be lacking depth. And the aji dulce… I don’t know where that was. Still trying to figure it out, but for now it’s a Cold Case.
I’ll most likely go back and try something else from the truck, maybe I just chose the wrong thing.
I did also get some of their «homemade yogurt» which was really good and has fresh pineapple on top. It hadn’t completely set up, but the flavor was good, and I’ve been on a yogurt kick so I was happy to see it.
Also, I’m really curious and interested why half of the truck says that it’s selling fresh Italian pastas. I would have asked, but I was in a bit of a hurry and there was a long line forming behind me.

Love these Arepas and the staff. From owner to every worker they are friendly and glad you came. They call me by name and it makes me feel that this is MY place. You won’t be broke or disappointed when you stop in. Yes they are in a gas station parking lot.

If I lived in the area I’d be there every day. The Mexico corn sub was fantastic and the fresh guacamole was delicious. Totally worth the wait. The ladies working there were very helpful.

Dios mios what a gem of a find. On a food truck. In a gas station. In downtown silver spring.
I was in a rush to grab lunch so I figured why not. I’m getting gas, bullet-​looking truck or the Dominican one? I went with my gut – fajita sub factory here I come.
Their menu is Latin inspired and have a few Italian offerings. I went with my first choice, arepas Peru and holy smokes the flavors in that bad boy was aggressive. Chunks of tilapia ceviche, red onion, and huancaina sauce in a warm, toasty «corn bagel» and I just said my prayers early today because it was PERFECT. Not that it needed anything else, but the pickled onions, pico, and two salsas sealed the deal on every bite.
I may even make excuses to just get my gas here, just so I can visit again.

Amazing tacos! Closest thing to what I had in Mexico. And 3 for 6 bucks … can’t beat it.
I’ve also had the specialty drink which is beet, carrot and orange fresh juice. You would think there are many places to get fresh juice in downtown silver soring, but not the case. This place fills the gap.
Love the little ladies behind the counter too. My new go too!

Who knew the best food in Silver Spring comes from a food truck. Grabbed a fajita sub with strak and chicken on Friday. Let me tell you it was outstanding. .Had the super sad face when i stopped past today and found out it was closed. If D.C. didn’t pass its new law i would move to Silver Spring for this truck lmao. Seriously check this spot out. And the sub was only 6 bucks

The best Arepas EVER!
They are very good portions and have very friendly staff. At lunch its a bit slow due to the fact that everything is made to order and fresh.
The fruit juices are also very amazing. They are fresh pressed juices.
I recommend you text them your order!
Hands down best lunch in Silver Spring
Cheap, Delicious AMAZING!

I hate when I take the time to carefully write a detailed review that addresses each aspect of the experience only to find that it didn’t save.
So now, you’ll have to just look at the 5 stars and take it at face value. I’m so annoyed.
But, I will say that the food is fresh, authentic, flavorful and homemade; portions are generous; staff is friendly and helpful; wait time corresponds to «made to order» nature of the food; credit cards are accepted.
I didn’t care for the super sweet mojito lemonade that tasted like sugar cane water.
I’ve been there twice in one week. Each time we fed three hungry carnivores and still had left overs. Cost was $ 35 both times, but note that we ordered 5 «entrees,» a side of sublime guacamole and a couple of drinks.
We’ll be back.

Been thinking of the right way to say this as I’ve had some good breakfasts there.
Unfortunately after many chances, I’m giving up on the place. Went for a juice the other day due to not feeling well and an arepa would’ve been too heavy.
After half the listed ingredients were unavailable we agreed on a concoction that was acceptable. As I was drinking it, I believed it had been watered down. When I asked, it was confirmed.
Also on all previous occasions the tax was included in the listed price. The $ 3 arepa was always $ 3, the $ 1 drinks were $ 1 and so on. The price went up with no warning until after I’d gotten the drink.
I ordered juice not a $ 3 cup of colored cheap water that went up by a quarter over night.
Only constant is inconsistency in service, price and produce. Will not be returning
