Best Food Trucks in Miami


Like everyone 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 dash 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 a gastronome's dream. One of the most 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 in town (you can expect to pay around $10 per plate) it is the most 'gourmet' option as Gastropod has 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 now gone mobile with Ms. Cheezious. With over seven different types of cheese (American, Blue, Brie, Cheddar, Gruyere, Havarti, Provolone and Swiss) it´s hard to go wrong. And while some food trucks go overboard trying to be swanky, Ms. Cheezious gets it right by keeping it simple and oh-so-good. Order a side of fries (I recommend the sweet potato variety) with your sandwich order and you are all set to go. For those looking to spice it up, try Ms. Cheezious's savory Grilled Harvest, a grilled Havarti cheese sandwich with spiced apples. Simply mouth-watering. It is important to note that this is one of the few food trucks that offer 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 a truck suggesting you munch and move on, Sakaya Kitchen has a loyal following with Dim Ssam a Gogo. Feeling like Korean delicacies? Then try the critically acclaimed Banh-mi Bun made with Kurobuta Pork Belly with a side 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 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 buying organic meats and produce from local markets as well as using biodegradable and recycled cups, plates and utensils. How many Miami attractions can boast about that?




Want to try 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 have a picnic and bring a blanket or lawn chairs for a relaxing dinning experience. Of course, remember to bring cash.

  1. I didn't health care too much for the hen taco, but I really liked the Gastropod. The tacos are puny. If I had known they would be mini-baby tacos.
