10 Delicious Food Trucks For Good Street Eats
From the street meat to sweet treats, food trucks have it all.
There's nothing like spotting a great-looking food truck in a new area you're exploring, and then having one of the best meals of your life on a street corner or in a park. Now, through word of mouth and social media, delicious food trucks and carts can have even more fame and prestige than ever before. So of the hundreds upon hundreds of food trucks out there, here are 10 we love.
PhoWheels - Washington D.C.
Whether you're craving a classic bánh mì sandwich or a warm cup of pho, PhoWheels is a great option in the D.C. area. Owner Tuan Vo said one of the truck's can't-miss items are the pork belly tacos.
The tacos have fans that "followed us around the country," he said, and it's unsurprising why, with their mouthwatering protein and sharp pickled toppings, all resting on a tasty Malaysian flatbread called Roti Canai.
Kogi Korean BBQ - Los Angeles, CA
Kogi, the brainchild of chef Roy Choi, is an institution at this point with several trucks dotting Los Angeles, and even a brick-and-mortar taqueria. You can try favorites like their short rib tacos, Kogi Kimchi Quesadillas, and the amazing Kogi Dog. It's a great example cuisine fusion done so, so right.
Wutyasay Food Truck - Winston-Salem, NC
Wutyasay has been serving the Piedmont area of North Carolina since 2016, and you've got to try some of this truck's delicious comfort food. Bishop Roger Billingsley-Hayes runs the truck and spoke with Delish about his outlook on food and the truck's menu highlights. "As a pastor, my philosophy with food is that food is ministry, so we approach it from that standpoint," he said.
His mouth-watering recipes have delighted tons of customers, and their GG (Grab & Go) Burger won the #1 Must-Try Food award at the Carolina Classic Fair in 2018. A genius spin on a burger, Billingsley-Hayes makes it combines, "ground chuck with sautéed onions, spicy sauce, Monterey Jack cheddar cheese, all blended together and rolled into a vegan wrap. We deep fry it, and I make a special dipping sauce on it and it comes on a bed of fries."
Dominick's Hot Dogs - Queens, NY
There's no shortage of amazing hot dog stands in NYC, but if you have the time, make the trip to Queens for the amazing franks at Dominick's Hot Dogs. Try a dog piled high with sauerkraut or onions, or you could go all out with their incredible chili dog if you want spice.
Revolution Vegan Kitchen - Austin, TX
"While I was in the military, my wife became vegan during one of my deployments. She started researching the impact of this lifestyle, and I completely adopted it," Franco of Revolution Vegan Kitchen said when we talked about his incredible vegan food truck's origin. "I have a background in biochemistry, so for me it was more like combining the chemistry side of the house with creative cuisine," he added.
Whether you want a delicious meatless burger or breakfast sandwich, or want try vegan takes on Mexican classics like Al-Pastor tacos and the chilaquiles pictured here, Revolution has you covered with lots of tasty options.
Simply Done Donuts - Atlanta, GA
Simply Done Donuts are a Georgia staple with a truck and some stores. They first started slinging mini cake-style donuts in Atlanta in 2015. "When my husband and I moved to ATL I immediately noticed there were no donut shops at all. So when I hit 30 and was working in corporate for already 9 years I knew I needed a change," co-founder Karissa said in an email to Delish. Thank goodness she and husband Joey made the change, because now you can enjoy their unique and tasty flavors.
Karissa also explained why she pitched the idea of mini donuts. "This would allow folks to try many flavors and parents wouldn't have to buy a huge donut for their kids." There's no way you'll be able to get just one of these treats!
Yuan Wonton - Denver, CO
For incredible dumplings in Denver, Yuan Wonton is a very popular option. True to its name, the hand-made wontons are delicious. Their menu also includes delectable bao buns of all kinds and some amazing non-bun dishes, like their crispy garlic noodles and more.
They'll also be partnering with Pho King Rapidos and Sweets and Sourdough Bakery to invest in a brick-and-mortar location in Colorado which all three eateries will rotate through at different times.
Old Traditional Polish Cuisine - Manhattan, NY
After feeling like he couldn't get enough good Polish food, Grzegorz Gryzlak started Old Traditonal Polish Cuisine to sling tasty pierogis all over Manhattan. He was soon joined by his wife Eva Lokaj, who spoke with us. "We just wanted to basically create the feeling and culture of when you would visit Poland—that’s how you feel like when you visit us in the food truck," Lokaj said.
Along with four varieties of pierogi: potato & cheese, meat, spinach & cheese, and sauerkraut & mushroom, you can try their grilled kielbasa or tasty triple-smoked bacon if you're really hungry. "My personal favorites are definitely the kraut & mushroom pierogis," Lokaj said.
Mi Pueblito Tacos - Philadelphia, PA
Originating in the Mexican State of Jalisco, birria tacos are a uniquely satisfying twist on the food truck classic we all love. Mi Pueblito is a family operation headed by Rosalind De Los Santos, and its delicious birria tacos, burritos, and quesadillas attract long lines no matter the weather.
Hush Food Truck - Farmingdale, NY
If you want fresh burgers, sandwiches, ribs, and even ramen in the Long Island area, Chopped champion Marc Bynum's Hush Truck is all over New York and available for catering as well. There's a great variety to the menu and it's all made with care and attention.
