Taste of UPO

Taste of UPO is a purpose-driven food truck powered by the United Planning Organization, Washington D.C.’s leading anti-poverty agency. More than a quick stop for lunch, this mobile kitchen serves nutritious, locally sourced meals while championing a mission to unite people with opportunities. With a rotating seasonal menu that blends comfort food with wellness, Taste of UPO offers everything from wraps and salads to barbecue ribs and crab cakes, all thoughtfully crafted to nourish and uplift.

The menu covers a range of cravings without sacrificing quality or conscience. Signature offerings like teriyaki or lemon pepper wings, smash burgers, and brisket sandwiches sit alongside vegan-friendly options such as the portobello veggie wrap and garden salad. Every dish comes with a side of impact, reinforcing UPO’s motto: Eating Well, Doing Good. Whether it’s a Caesar salad on a sunny afternoon or a plate of BBQ ribs at a weekend event, each order supports a broader effort to empower communities across the District.

Taste of UPO is more than a food truck parked on the street. It is a movement on wheels, connecting people through food and purpose. With every meal served, it continues to prove that good food can drive positive change and bring communities closer, one bite at a time.
