best-food-trucks-in-los-angeles

In the past several years, food trucks have become as important a part of Los Angeles culture as going to the beach or a Dodger’s game. Food trucks offer much of the unique cuisine that is offered in traditional Mom and Pop restaurants, with locations that can span the entire city in the span of a day.

Perhaps owing to the rise of the use of social media platforms like Twitter, which avid food truck enthusiasts can use to track their favorite trucks, the trend of great meals on four wheels seems to continue to be growing at a surprising and exciting pace. Here are six of the best food trucks that Los Angeles has to offer.

1. Fist of Fusion

Keeping with the food truck tradition of offering unique fusions and pairings, Fist Of Fusion blends Hawaiian and Filipino cuisine and has a menu full of items that taste as good as food inspired by home cooking should be. Chef Ronnie Lucido has put together a menu full of sandwiches and other classic foods from his upbringing.

2. Lobsta Truck

As the name suggests, Lobsta Truck offers a taste of New England, all on the sunny streets of Los Angeles. Known for its impeccable lobster roll, which features a fresh toasted bun, Lobsta Truck owner delivers some of the best lobster the country has to offer by having prime quality lobster shipped in from Maine several times a week.

3. Ludo Truck Ludo

Truck proves what foodies have long known: that homestyle cooking does not have to be replete of fun and experimentation. Ludo Truck’s chicken comes with a number of condiments, from old standbys like honey mustard to bearnaise sauce, and their honey lavender biscuits are the stuff taste buds dream of.

4. Sky’s Gourmet Tacos

Unlike many other trucks, which are often the initial endeavors for up and coming chefs, Sky’s Gourmet Tacos is an extension of the popular restaurant, and delivers the same quality that customers can expect at one of the sit down locations. The star item on Sky’s menu is definitely the shrimp tacos, which are as close as many people can get to going on a beach vacation on their lunch break.

5. Vizzi Truck

Another stand out fusion truck, Vizzi, brings together the unexpected tastes of both French cooking and coastal tastes from around the world. Many of the items incorporate inventive uses of seafood, as is certainly the case with their garlic poached lobster tail. Vizzi offers customers a sense of exploration and creativity as they challenge the boundaries of what they know about both food and culture.

6. The Grilled Cheese Truck

Cheese lovers across the City Of Angels can rejoice that finally someone has taken seriously the art of the timeless classic, grilled cheese. Featuring a menu of both classics like the caprese and decadent new choices like the mac and cheese grilled cheese, The Grilled Cheese truck boldly melts where none have melted before.
