The Most Flavorful Food Trucks in Lexington

Mr C's Cheesecake

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"Mr C's is a dessert and cheesecake food truck that services the Lousiville Kentucky and surrounding city areas. Thai food truck recently came to my neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon so me and the family walked down to grab a snack. The food truck workers were nice, fast and efficient. Menu wise we only had four options. Three cheese cakes (Oreo, apple cider and strawberry) and they had a Oreo cheesecake shake. Me and my oldest daughter went with a Oreo cheesecake. It had a real nice flavor. I'd say it would be considered a smaller shake compared to traditional ive cream or shake places. But it packed good flavor and was tasty. My wife and other daughters split a Oreo cheese cake and the apple cider. Consensus between them was apple cider was better. Said both were good but the Oreo had way too much Oreo in it. To me like a majority of food trucks they are a bit pricey. I'd like to see a bigger menu with more options and maybe slightly bigger size cups for the Oreo shakes. That said it wasn't anything too outrageous and the value overall was good. Overall a nice and unique food truck option. Reading opinions on the neighborhood association and overall this place was a hit. So I'm sure they will be back and my family would stop by again for sure."

Burnout BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"The brisket is amazing! I wish I could find their locations reliably because I'm willing to drive wherever they are. The only other brisket I've had that was this good was in North Carolina, 5-6 years ago. Finally found somewhere here that rivals that, but I can't find them."

I Want Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.8 (4)

"Caught this orange food truck out of the corner of my eye and naturally I whipped a U'y to scope it out. Aha, taco truck! Score!What I stumbled upon was a one man show taco truck. A lot of menu items were sold out by the time I got there so I kinda had to settle for 2nd choice items. I ended up with a pastor taco and a couple Campechano's. For taking orders and cooking at the same time I was impressed, he didn't leave people standing around but kept food coming out. At first glance, the tacos took me back to my childhood when my mom would take me to Mexico and we would stop at the first taco cart we saw. Yes, cart not truck. Small simple tacos with just cilantro and onion. These were the gone in two or three bite tacos I remember that were so addicting that they're ordered one at a time as if it were a sampling menu. I could imagine this place on a dirt road in Tijuana bustling with groups of people shouting "Otro más!" While small, I do think the price is fair considering what you'd pay anywhere else and these were not skimpy. The pastor tacos were good, not dry as I find at most places. The campechano tacos had chorizo and steak. The steak was noticeably marinated and wasn't just chopped up bits of steak like you find at every Mexican restaurant you find around here. I still can't tell if the tortillas were hand made or bought. Either way, they were really good. They weren't bland and had a fresh masa taste to them. They also held up well and didn't fall apart after the first bite. The tomatillo sauce was great. Not overly salty and added freshness. IMO, tomatillo should complement not steal or ruin the show and this did just that. I may or may not be spoiled from my childhood in LA and ventures to Mexico so I can be a tough critic on tacos, but I also have a soft spot for nostalgia. I think anywhere else I might give this a three, but for this region, four stars easily. The tortillas were so good. The meat wasn't just a filler protein. Shockingly the tomatillo sauce wasn't over salted like most places. Overall, everything I had was good and stood out ingredient wise. I don't think it would crack any of top spots but this is so much better than what I am used to around here. Come hungry, come early, and don't go far. This is taco's but taco cart style, a la carte."

Taqueria Los comales

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I have been there once before and it was great so I decided to go back. I was going to get out of the car but before I had the chance one of the staff came to the car wearing a mask to take the order. Ordered tacos including steak and al pastor. The tortillas are made there. The tacos are awesome. The portions are great. The taste is amazing. Price is very good. Service was great and very friendly. I definitely will continue supporting them and going back to try other items in the menu. Strongly recommend you give them a try. You will not be disappointed."

The Epic Cure

★★★★★ 4.7 (3) • $

"Tates Creek Village Apartments has been holding a promotion this month where they feature a different food truck every Wednesday evening. This evening we ventured up the hill to partake in The Epic Cure! The menu variety looked excellent! Even if their tired 90's music was a bit stale.I quickly opted for the Chicken Tamales (assisted by the fact that one of their crew was pointing it out to me as I walked up). It took several minutes while they prepared them. I was a little confused because I thought tamales were usually a pre-made item, and I could clearly see the chef handling some uncooked masa.As he handed them over, I could clearly see this was the real deal. The chicken was taco-seasoned and juicy (practically falling apart), the masa was warm and perfectly formed into that tamale shape. The corn-black bean salsa was a nice touch also.It would be nice to have some beverage options, but we didn't ask. It was close enough to our apartment that we just walked back and chose from our existing stockpile.Overall, I would say whatever you do, don't discount this less-than-pretty food truck. This stuff is for serious."

Taste Of Mexico

"In a gas station parking lot you will typically find the best food. This taco truck was legit. Best tacos I've ever had. The tortillas were so good and made all the difference. Thank you for staying open so late!"

Taqueria El Charro

★★★★★ 4.8 (5) • $

"This place was AMAZING. I am so happy something like this is in Georgetown! Everyone needs to come here. I ordered two steak tacos and they were just wonderful! My husband got the pastor tacos, and I think they are the best pastor tacos I've ever tasted! We also got a barbacoa burrito and it was awesome as well! They have a mild and a hot sauce. The hot is pretty spicy, but great! Loved them both! Just remember they do not take cards so bring cash!!"

Knob Farms

"Absolutely amazing food, if you have not tried this food truck you are missing.out. The pulled pork nachos with corn as a topping is delicious. The loaded Mac n Cheese is the best I have had from a food vendor. This place has the friendly and best customer service.The brisket is my favorite but every optoin is great. The BBQ sauce is fantastic! They also offer catering for events as well. Check the Facebook page to find where they are going to be"

Tacos Luna Y Mas

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Stopped by the other night and grabbed a few tacos. The lady at the window was really nice and took my order. It took maybe 3-4 minutes to get the tacos ( it felt like forever because it was really really cold and my brilliant self had shorts and a tshirt on lol so that's on me!) so they wait wasn't very long at all.. so I drove home dying to try them and when I finally got to eat them I was amazed at just how good it really was.. I will be going back, probably tonight lol"

Crave Cafe And Catering

★★★★★ 4.5 (79) • $

"I'm from NKY and my son goes to physical therapy 3x a week at Frazier Uof L . While he's doing his thing I have been checking out the town and this restaurant cafe was fabulous! Home made soups were superb and their selection of hot and cold sandwiches were amazing! Service was quick. There's an alley behind the building that leads to a parking lot behind the building. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I will definitely go back!!"

Little Fork

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"The fries are delicious. We grabbed a basket while having a drink at Wise Bird and it really hit the spot. They come with a few dipping sauces that were also great. 10/10"

Moody Mike's

★★★★★ 4.7 (25)

"Surprise your non-vegan friends with this food! DELISH! The wings are creatively made by forming them around sugar cane making everything edible! Soooo good! Tried all the sauces for the wings and the chicken sando is better than chick-fil-a...."

B-Jacks Seafood Shack

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Great selection of meals at a good price. The seafood is always fresh! Highly recommend!"

JDs Mobile Kitchen & Bakery

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"JDs had a bakery downtown a short while back. We sure miss them but they wanted to move on to other things. Well. What better than to move on to a mobile kitchen. The foods are down home good. They make everything from scratch and use their farm milk to make a few things like the potato soup. The BLT has thick sliced bacon and grilled sour dough bread. It was very good bread with a tight crumb and light flavored. The potato soup was touted to "change the way I feel about soup". My wife makes the same and I noticed the biggest difference was because they used farm milk. Much richer taste. Very well done. Do yourself a favor and look these folks up. Good prices for the amount of food."

La Fiesta Tacos

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"The best food truck tacos I have ever eaten. So good, my son tried one and loved it. Tortillas were made fresh, and it made all the difference. Meat was well seasoned and not dry. Red and green salsas topped them off perfectly. Man in the truck was very friendly and nice. Will be back if my son decides to go to UKY."

Taqueria El Pelon

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"These just aren't the best tacos I've ever had, this is the best meal I've ever had. Since finding this place, I've been back 4-5 times now and each time it somehow gets better and better. I travel all over the state and I've been to 20+ taquerias in the last year, and I can confidently say that these are far and away the best tacos in Kentucky and even beating any and all spots in the Cincinnati metro area. The meats, the salsa, the tortillas, everything is better. On my deathbed, I want nothing more than a plate of these tacos. I can't think of a single thing that would make them better. They have such a large menu, but I may never know what all of that tastes like because I will get tacos every single time. They have a brick and mortar restaurant in Ghent worth checking out too. It's 99% as good, but the tacos here just taste slightly better. I'll probably transition to the one in Ghent for the winter. Here it's always nice to sit on the picnic tables and enjoy the fresh air. In summary, try these and you won't want any other tacos in your life."

Kentucky Smoked Brisket

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"K&S BBQ is a true BBQ lover's paradise! The food is mouth-watering and delicious, with perfectly cooked meats and a range of tantalizing sides to choose from. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to help with menu recommendations. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family. Whether you're in the mood for juicy ribs, savory pulled pork, or a mouth-watering brisket, K&S BBQ has it all. One of my favorite dishes at K&S BBQ is the brisket. It is cooked to perfection and has a mouth-watering smoky flavor that will make your taste buds dance with joy. The meat is juicy and tender, and it just melts in your mouth. I highly recommend pairing it with the tangy BBQ sauce and a side of creamy coleslaw for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you're a BBQ connoisseur or a newcomer to the cuisine, you simply have to try the brisket at K&S BBQ"

Hip Hop Sweet Shop

★★★★★ 4.7 (19) • $

"The vibe is lit here! Walked in to De LA Soul bumping on the radio and the decor is perfect. Just past 18th st and Jefferson st this corner is occupied by sweet heaven. There is a lot or you can park on the street. It smells amazing in here, they even offer boozy cupcakes by the dozen if you want to order. Cake shakes, cookies, pies, slushies, they have it all I'd recommend dropping in and giving them a try. I got the strawberry crunch cake shake.. no regrets"

Cousins Maine Lobster - Kentucky

★★★★☆ 4.1 (12)

"I am from Maine, and their lobster rolls and whoopie pies are excellent! I have dined with them a few times and they never disappoint. I follow them around our area, and when they get close, we are there!! Kudos guys!!"

Eden & Kissi

★★★★★ 4.8 (142) • $$

"We heard so many good things about this place and finally tried them at last. It lived up to the buzz big time. We arrived later in the day and it got busy real quick. This small shop was a little overwhelmed keeping up with delivery driver and four takeout orders. They had sold out of the some things already. We got chicken, rice, and other stuff. Warning the ginger juice is very strong and needs a warning label.Can't eat in and has a small parking lot. Call early to get stuff before it sell out. You got to try this Caribbean gem at least once. I will be back many times to come."

Fat Boy Q

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"Saw them at the Viking Festival in Ashville. Pretty long lines, waited till it died down. Everyone seemed happy with their food. Got the three bone platter with a side of mac for Baby K.Ribs were excellent: meaty, tender, smoky, a tiny hint of heat in the seasoning. No sauce needed. I tried a bit and it was good, a little sweet. But unnecessary, sign of good meat.The mac was good too. A bit too "fancy" for Baby K, meaning flavorful and not completely basic. Really good as a side.Super good service. Decent prices. Pretty much the basics on the menu, but you don't want complications with bbq, or a food truck, anyway."

The Locals

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Phenomenal!! Best food ever! It's the best lunch spot here in Brandenburg for hard working people!"

Tacos La Esperanza - Hope On Wheels

★★★★★ 4.9 (20)

"I love tacos and these are delicious!! Food truck in gas station parking lot. Tacos are priced between $2.50 and $3.00. There are plenty of meat options, including tongue if you are adventurous. I got the chicken, ground beef and fish tacos. They come in street style and supreme. Loved them all but the chicken was my favorite, it had so much flavor!"

Boston's Way

★★★★☆ 3.8 (10)

"I've been many times when they had truck set up outside Twisted Cork, inside using Twisted Cork kitchen, and once the truck set up at Manchester music hall. Bobby and Robin running it are very nice and get the food out quick. I've had Fire it up burger, classic burger, clam chowder, shrimp roll, lobster roll, clam roll, grilled po boy, Alaskan salmon burger, ham & cheese on Texas toast, twisted veggie, veggie bomb, ultimate fire, veggie bomb fries, plain French fries, fried pickles, onion rings... could be forgetting something. All good food for sure! The spicy stuff is well seasoned, have good seasoning mixed for ppl like me that like spicy."

Taqueria Azteca

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"One of the best Mexican food places I've been to in the area. Service is great. They allow carry out, text orders and walk to your car to hand you your order. Only wish they had a sit down location but this is fine. Prices are better then other places and doesn't have the TexMex feel like others. They have daily specials. Recommend trying this place"

El Costeño Jr

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"Good little food trailer with a lot to offer. My food was good and they ever ha e lighting and to tables with chairs to sit at. Come check them out they said they are always as this location."

Arrowhead BBQ

★★★★★ 4.7 (23) • $$

"I am overdue in writing this review. I love their food. Everything is so delicious . They often run specials and those are often even better than the regular menu items. They also have innovative items on their menu using ingredients like tater tots and baked potatoes. All their side items are completely delicious as well. Their macaroni and cheese is so old school and wonderful. Brisket is probably my favorite and they only use the best grade of meat they possibly can find. Their pies are as good as your old southern grandmother made for the holidays!Everyone who works here is so nice and helpful. They do catering as well. The one thing I hate is that they are only open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays."

Crust & Crumb

★★★★★ 4.6 (31)

"Love this place - a perfect spot to meet a friend, take a break, or do some work. Bright and friendly, with stools and a few tables indoors and a nice enclosed sitting area outside (not just tables stuck on the sidewalk). The staff were friendly and hard working.A nice variety of drinks, and an amazing bakery with fresh, creative treats - carrot cake crossaint, blackberry pistschio croissant knot, and bacon chocolate chip cookies to name a few. I was there for sustenance, though, and got a bacon egg sandwich. It was a big sandwich and had good flavor, and the bun was soft and delicious. Next time I think I'll try a quiche. They looked amazing! I think this will become a regular stop when I'm in Norton Commons."

Franklin Smoke Shack & Grill

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"By far the best BBQ food truck I've ever eaten at. Check their website/Facebook for where they are scheduled to be each day. You smell the smoke way before you get there and the owner/staff is very friendly. I travel all over the country and check out local businesses and food trucks several times a week. Highly recommend and the prices are more than reasonable and definitely worth it."

Good Burger Bus

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"We got this food truck for food truck friday at my work. I ordered a dressed cheeseburger and crinkle cut fries. The man that worked the truck was very friendly and quick with the service. My burger was very tasty and filling. No complaints on it. The Fries were just ok I would get the tater tots next time. Overall good place I recommend to try."

Taco Queen

★★★★★ 5 (13)

"Absolutely delicious Mexican food in Union! The Torta here is unbelievable. Bread is so crispy, filling is perfect. Every meat we've tried is out of this world! Only complaint is no pricing anywhere."

Taqueria Hernandez

★★★★☆ 4.1 (10)

"A few people have told me about this raco truck in Advanced Auto Parts parking lot. I havent cooked dinner this week...so decided to try it out. I looked at the website and wrote down what i thought i wanted. Once i got there, i ordered a barbacoa burrito, chicjen quesadilla, 2 steak tacos, 6 barbacoa tacos, 1 cup of esquite corn and a side of rice and beans. The young lady that took my order was helpful and answered all my questions and even gave me some business cards and let me know that they will come to your job for a couple of hours or your neighborhood. That is awesome! As for the food. Had a couple bites of the corn and rice and beans. Both great. Ruce was very fluffy and the beans had a very hearty taste to it. The batbacoa tacos is my favorite!!! You mush get them. Little too much cilantro but i just took some off. Not enough sauces for everything i ordered. I will have to get extra sauces next time. Im taking the burrito and quesadilla for lunch the next two days but i just know im going to love it! My order came just above $40 and i left a $10 tip. Always tip!!!"

Dos Hermanos

★★★☆☆ 3 (6)

"Today we decided to try a new restaurant just outside of Richmond that I had heard rave reviews over. Dos Hermanos is located in the same building as the BP Station, but don't let this fool you at all. This place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant!Very clean inside and the food was better than everyone had described. I had the Dos Hermanos Special which included a grilled chicken breast, grilled steak, special seasoned grilled shrimp on a generous bed of rice with California vegetables. This meal was only $14.99 and was a huge serving. The steak is thin, but very tender and full of flavor. The chicken breast was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the highlight of the dish without a doubt were the 6 scrumpdullyishous shrimp. These were absolutely to die for! The dish was topped with queso sauce which made every bite even better. My wife had the shredded chicken chimichanga which came with rice and beans. This dish was only $9.99 and was one of the best chimichangas that she has had in a very long time. There was a very generous serving of chicken inside and the flavor was out of this world!There is a very wide variety on the menu and I cannot wait to go back and try something else -- but it will be very difficult to change from what I ordered today. Don't let the fact that this is in the same building as a gas station prevent you from coming here. There is a separate entrance and it is completely separated from the gas station. Again, very clean, excellent food, fast and friendly service. We will return again and again!Without a doubt, the drive is definitely worth the difference."

All Thai'd Up

★★★★☆ 4.4 (52)

"TRULY AUTHENTIC THAI CUISINE!!If you are seeking exceptional Thai food, customer service, and an all around enjoyable dining experience, then All Thai'd Up is the place for you!The owner is extremely knowledgeable about all ingredients in the food. I have numerous food sensitivities, too many to list, and she was able to help me select a beautifully crafted Tom Yum Noodle Soup, followed up with a light and flavorful dessert of Coconut Cream Ice Cream with Jackfruit and Crushed Peanuts. Tom Yum is my go-to soup as its natural ingredients are something I can consume, and this was by far the best I've had in Louisville! The addition of the rice noodles was a lovely treat to create a full meal. The Coconut Cream Ice Cream was so light and tasty, and rounded out a fabulous meal. I am looking forward to returning here!"
