WHAT Welcome to the cuisine of gluttony, which can be hard to resist, especially when it rolls up to your doorstop smelling of smoky Nueske bacon. Everything on this truck is bacon-based: breakfast burritos, sandwiches, French toast, even the brownies. The signature item is the baco (pronounced bock-oh), a reverse taco with strips of bacon [...]
WHAT Comfort food doesn’t get any more comfortable than on the Buttermilk Truck, where the mobile kitchen dishes out breakfast sliders, fantastic homemade cake doughnut balls, bite-size buttermilk pancake balls, red velvet cupcakes and Hawaiian-bread cinnamon french toast sticks. It all tastes just as good, if not better, at 9 p.m. as it does at [...]
WHAT Devoutly organic, this truck (an offshoot of a catering company) brings a farm-to-plate aesthetic to the mobile cuisine scene, serving classy California fare—with prices to match: market-fresh green peas atop a brisket hash, waffles in real blueberry sauce. They’re famous for their lasagne cupcake, sheets of pasta that are dexterously layered in a cupcake [...]
WHAT Run by a couple of Philly transplants, this truck (actually there are two of them) does one thing—the cheese steak—and they do it right. Wit wiz or witout, this is a pile of thinly sliced, grilled beef on bread shipped from Amoroso’s in Philadelphia. To complete the East Coast experience, they also sell Tastykakes. [...]
WHAT It seems crazy that there’s always such a long line for cheese and bread, but this truck has mastered the art of this seemingly simple sandwich. Chef Dave Danhi’s most famous creation is the Cheesy Mac & Ribs, a sandwich with a slice of baked mac ‘n cheese, smoked rib meat, onions and more [...]
WHAT Native American fusion doesn’t sound promising, but the golden discs of freshly fried dough prove otherwise. Savory versions can be topped with barbecued beef or a mild bean and beef chili, but a classic, dinner-plate-size frybread, with airy pockets of dough rising from the surface and cinnamon sugar amassing in the valleys, may be [...]
WHAT This pan-ethnic truck, repatriated from San Francisco, approaches food with a gleeful more is more abandon, like shrimp in garlic coconut curry, or hot links topped with onions, peppers, bacon, a fried egg and chipotle crema. Prepare for a messy meal that’s sweet, savory and strange. , @globalsoultruck, globalsoultruck.com. Cash only. Region: Citywide Features: [...]
WHAT A clever mashup of Japanese sushi and L.A. street food, this place makes sushi burritos that are big and filling, stuffed with rice and some version of sushi (though it’s usually of a non-traditional, deeply fried and mayonnaise-soaked variety) wrapped in a large flour tortilla or a thin sheet of soy paper that falls [...]
WHAT What’s so special about nachos? Nothing unless they’re made from freshly fried triangles of flour tortillas and topped with lamb and goat cheese or chili, bacon and house-made cheese sauce. Stoner food hits new heights. , @nachotruckla, nachotruckla.com. MC, V. Region: Citywide Features: Dinner, Kid Friendly, Lunch Cuisine Type: Mexican
WHY You never know where it’ll pop up or what’s on the menu, and that’s the fun of it. WHAT Good luck getting a reservation at L.A.’s (and now the nation’s) premiere pop-up restaurant. (So many people want in, the online reservation system usually crashes soon after it opens.) Ludovic Lefebvre is a classically trained [...]
