Like everybody else in the U.S., I love food trucks. One cup gourmet food, half a cup of you-have-to-be in-the-know, food trucks provide scrumptious food at a competitive price with a sprint of cool. What better way to sample Miami´s diverse cultural palette and warm weather than stopping by one of the best food trucks in Miami.
Gastropod
The crème de la crème, Gastropod is really a gastronome’s dream. One of the very well established food trucks in Miami, Chef Jeremiah serves his tasty dishes out of a Silver 1960s Airstream motor home. While his food is not the cheapest around (you can get to pay for around $10 per plate) it is probably the most’gourmet’option as custom truck builders have a reputation for exciting and unique Caribbean fusions. Favorites include Banh Mi Pork Tacos, Red Curry Duck Tacos and the famous Old Dirt Dog Short Ribs with Stupid Slaw. Is you hungry yet?
Ms. Cheezious
Mmmmm, grilled cheese. Everyone’s favorite comfort food has gone mobile with Ms. Cheezious. With over seven several types of cheese (American, Blue, Brie, Cheddar, Gruyere, Havarti, Provolone and Swiss) it´s hard to go wrong. And while some food trucks exaggerate wanting to be swanky, Ms. Cheezious gets it right by keeping it simple and oh-so-good. Order a part of fries (I recommend the sweet potato variety) with your sandwich order and you are prepared to go. For anyone seeking to spice it down, try Ms. Cheezious’s savory Grilled Harvest, a grilled Havarti cheese sandwich with spiced apples. Simply mouth-watering. It is very important to notice that that is among the few food trucks that provide vegetarian options.
Dim Ssam a Gogo
How could you not love a food truck whose motto is “No Frills Just Good F’n Food”? Serving Asian fusion inspirations from the truck suggesting you munch and proceed, Sakaya Kitchen has a loyal following with Dim Ssam a Gogo. Feeling like Korean delicacies? Then try the critically acclaimed Banh-mi Bun made out of Kurobuta Pork Belly with a part of chili sauce. If you’re still hungry then try the Short Rib Chunk’d Cheesy Spicy Tater Tots or the Kalbi tacos and wash it down seriously to with a glass of watermelon juice. With plates ranging from $1-$6, this chow won’t break the bank.
Dim Ssam a Gogo also deserves a shout out for its eco-friendly practices of purchasing organic meats and produce from local markets along with using biodegradable and recycled cups, plates and utensils. Just how many Miami attractions can boast about that?
Want to use them all?
Consider taking your own personal food truck tour in Miami. Reserve your Tuesday evening for the Biscayne Triangle Truck Round-Up (or as the locals call it, BTTR). Located 1700-1846 NE 127th St, North Miami, this weekly food truck fiesta starts at 5:30pm and lasts until the last meal is served, usually around 10:00pm. There is plenty of green space to truly have a picnic and bring a blanket or lawn chairs for a soothing dinning experience. Obviously, remember to create cash.
