The Most Delectable Food Trucks in Minneapolis

Amish Annie Donuts

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Stopped by the Pleasant Street Art Walk in Prior Lake and thought I'd give it a try since I heard people posting about them.I ordered the fresh fruit donut. These donuts are huge! This one came with strawberries, blueberries and cream. It was fresh and delicious!"

Rollin Nolen's BBQ

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13)

"Rollin Nolen's has been hanging outside of my place of employment on occasion over the last two years, so I've had a chance to try a good portion of their offerings.It seems as if most of the smoked things on the menu have the same thing in common - a pretty aggressive amount of smoke flavor and being somewhat dry. The ribs, rib tips and pulled pork are fine, but are mostly just smoke and the accompanying sauce. Some of the sides are pretty good (cheese curds) and some aren't worth the calories (the too sweet/cinnamony baked beans and soggy fries).Prices are pretty reasonable so you can get a filling meal for around twelve bucks, just temper your expectations."

PepperJax Philly Express

★★★★★ 4.5 (14) • $$

"I was Downtown to get some legal documents, and decided to take a stroll through Rice Park. As it was lunch time and there were a few food trucks around I thought why not. I looked at the menus trying to decide, but this truck had a consistent line. That sold it for me. I am so happy I went for it. I tried the Steak Philly, when I opened it up in was worried it wouldn't have enough cheese. I was so wrong. This sandwich was delicious. Cheese in every bite the perfect amount of bread. Oh the topping wow they nailed the amount of onions and peppers. Just enough to enhance the flavor without hiding that savory meat. This thing is a monster. I ate less than half and saved the rest for dinner. It was still great cold. The bread was intact. Yummmmm. They guys on the truck were great to friendly and fast. I highly recommend you seek them out my sandwich was 8.50"

California Dip&Eat

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"I am so thankful my husband insisted on a slight change in plans to include a stop here! They have a huge menu selection (especially for a food truck) with great, unique options. I get excited for California burritos and carne asada fries- few places here have them and they bring me back to living in SoCal. They have so many variations on California burritos (all have French fries as a Cali burrito must). Their original would arguably be not 100% authentic as it has "cowboy pico" not regular pico, but is authentic otherwise. My husband had the San Jose and it ROCKED! And it comes with cheese sauce??! I had the puffy tacos- also rocked and would get them again in a heartbeat. Love the fried tortilla and the toppings. Their chorizo and their pastor both were great. My only complaints, obviously not enough to detract from a great rating, but there is room for improvement:- The puffy tacos only had one small piece of pickled onion, I wish there was a bit more as it was a great topping and I could barely taste it. - The biggest thing is that I wish they had a calendar on their website so I could plan to get their food. Instead, they only post where they will be the day of on Facebook. If they posted a calendar online, I would absolutely plan around it and therefore be more likely to get their food and with friends/family."

Wing King Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5) • $

"I had this food from the food truck while it is stationed at the U4ic Brewery in Belle Plaine, MN Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The food truck is inside the building and the menu is huge, so you do not really know that you are eating from a food truck! The food was very good and to get service at U4ic, you must put a sign up at your table otherwise they will leave you alone. Wing King does all the food at U4ic and U4ic provides the drinks. You can get custom beer and hard ciders to go along with your food. Nice pairing! We loved the tacos and the wings were great also. I would stop by this food truck again if I saw it around town. The menu photos I have here are from the U4ic Brewery in Belle Plaine, MN. I do not know if they offer all of the same food when they are traveling around the metro. I tried to create a separate listing for Wing King in Belle Plaine because I thought the menu was likely larger that the normal food truck service and the Food Truck is based out of Lakeville which will not come up in searches in Belle Plaine. Yelp didn't add it after I submitted it. Enjoy the food!"

Big Daddy's Rockin Q

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Best flavors!!!My favorite potato salad ever. Not your standard mustard, but delightful dill instead!The coleslaw is tangy and crisp!The pulled pork is delicious! Everything they make is amazing....Follow this food truck!!!"

Little Blue

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"We found the Little Blue Food Truck at Forgotten Star Brewery. We had one of everything (at least that's what it felt like). My short rib dish was surprisingly good-deboned tender meat on a bed of rice, topped with mellow red peppers & green sauce. The ribs were moist but delicious. Our berry lemonade was good but could have used some ice. The highlight item was the mini donuts."

The Flaming Bowl

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Excellent food - 5 stars!Tonight I caught up with the Flaming Bowl food truck at Aegir Brewery in Elk River, MN. This truck specializes in savory food options like a brisket sandwich, chili, beer mac & cheese, a turkey breast sandwich, and more (see menu board photo).While waiting for my food, I had a nice conversation with the owner. He's a trained chef and I'm not surprised after eating my food. You can definitely taste the difference - quality ingredients plus a trained chef equals awesome food! You really can't go wrong ordering anything from Flaming Bowl.A big thumbs up!-Maxx"

Firemans Barbeque

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Best bbq I've ever had! Ribs, sandwiches, burgers, whatever they are selling, buy it."

Food Truck Alley

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (2)

"For airport food this is a great stop for some Mediterranean options. I tried the spinach pie this time and it was well presented with a pickled cauliflower side. For those who like a more acidic/sour punch you will like this. It was a bit strong for me so I went back and ordered my humus favorite. The pita was thin and warm.I also give praise to the happy guy at the register who was able to keep up with the weary travelers"

Café Cairo: Greek And Egyptian Street Food Truck

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"Had to try this place out since I was craving a gyro. Not bad for a food truck. The fries are amazing--well seasoned and cooked! Also, a generous portion for the price paid. I would recommend it if you're craving Mediterranean foods."

Kham Fu Dee

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"I've had the pleasure of catching Kham Fu Dee's food truck at 56 Brewing and Bauhaus. And by "catching" I mean I was really lurking their sched' and going wherever they were. Check out @khamfudee on Instagram to see where they're at next! They're often at Arbeiter, Insight, and Venn Brewing but of course the locations rotate.Here's what I've had! Green Curry Bowl - A flavorful option for vegetarians if you choose tofu as the protein. It had a nice bit of heat to it too! Drunken Fries - LOVE that they use perfectly crispy seasoned waffle fries as the base, and top them with both pork and chicken, two aiolis, and fresh green onion. Great to share or not at all (I recommend hogging them!). Wings - we tried the gochujang BBQ wings, which had a great balance of sweet and heat. The wings were juicy and crispy still! Hawaiian Melt - this hits all the marks with its savory pork (or chicken), creamy and crunchy coleslaw, sweet fresh grilled pineapple... so good. Last but not least, their cream cheese wontons have a hit of garlic to them which gives them more dimension.Above all else, the family that runs this is so warm and hospitable. I've seen the husband (Kham), wife (Yvett), and daughter all working together with smiles on their faces, which puts one on mine."

La Tapatia

★★★★☆ 4.4 (209) • $$

"Man. This place has blown up and reservations are needed. I kid you not, they have a ton of indoor and outdoor seating and walk up for about a dozen at the bar but even that is a 1/2 hour to 45 minute wait. Besides this being quite the success story (food truck, small business on Larpenteur, to this location and possibly one happening in Mpls), the food is really kickass! First let's start with drinks. Since La Tapatia took over a former New Bohemia space, they kept ALL the tap lines. I think I remember the bartender saying that there were 30 lines and 25 of those are probably local lines which is pretty cool. They also offer all sorts of other drinks from wine to marg's and more. The food and soup's are amazing. The cebollita's (small fried onions), are crack! Everything is fantastic about this place. And then last year, wifey and I tied the knot and we used La Tapatia to cater it. I had heard horror stories about other couples using food trucks with slow service and La Tapatia crushed it. They premade everything and even had vegetarian options. It wasn't just beans & rice for the non-meat eaters, we were able to offer up Abe's moms' special recipe of pineapple tamales. Wow! We had been in Mexico City earlier that year and had some cranberry tamales and they were so good. The pineapple though blew my mind they were so good. It's not gonna be anything you see on the menu. Seriously, this is really a great success story and if you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and make a reservation."

Localz Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Breakfast burritos for the win! Get both salsas. It's totally worth the trek to Back Channel Brewing for breakfast."

Og Zaza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18)

"The pizza is delicious!! We had the double roni and margarheta pizza. Both were delicious!! We got our food very quick and the staff were very nice. I loved that they have a small arcade area where you can play card games, racing games, and claw machine!! Such a cute little slot to hang out while you wait. Will definitely be coming back."

Smokin’ J’s BBQ

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Great BBQ - 5 stars!I stumbled across the Smokin' J's food truck in the parking lot of the new liquor store across from Bill's Superette in Ramsey, just north of Anoka. Of course, I had to check them out, especially since they specialize in meats!The first thing I really love about these folks is they didn't mind accommodating my low carbohydrate, carnivore eating style - no problem whatsoever. They didn't force me to purchase plant-based sides, which I really appreciate.I grabbed a Brisket Sandwich without the bun. I also ordered some ribs. But instead of the full dinner with sides, they let me order the ribs a la carte with sauce on the side. All of my food was very good.I recommend trying Smokin' J's if you love BBQ. The owners are very nice too. I had fun chatting with them. I'd go back again any time.Thumbs up!-Maxx"

Janie’s Taco

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"this food truck is in the parking lot of coopers in downtown chaska and my bf and i have been wanting to try it for a while and finally did. I'm guessing the women we interacted with was Janie (we were so cold we forgot to ask) but she was delightful and so kind. she even gave us the quesadilla she was making for one of the staff so we didn't have to wait long and made sure we stayed warm. the quesadilla slapped. i'm not really a quesadilla girl but this one was yummy. the tortilla was thin and perfectly crispy and the meat was tender and flavorful. would recommend. we also got both the tacos to try and not gonna lie they weren't the most flavorful still tender tho. whatever the lighter salsa was was spicy which i wasn't expecting since most spicy things in mn ain't spicy to me. they also came with sautéed onions and a little potato... LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS POTATO... she was small but MIGHTY. i honestly was sad there was only one the size of a cherry it was SO good!! we also tried the corn in cup and that was alright too i should've put some tajin on it when i got home. i'm pretty picky with an acquired food palate and a sensitive stomach so it's been difficult to find places near chaska that i can really enjoy but at least i know if im ever craving a quesadilla for some reason this the spot to go!"

Craft Mobile Kitchen

★★★★★ 5 (2) • $$

"I ate Craft Mobile Kitchen during the hours it is hosted in The Chocolate Garden's patio. Oh man were we blown away. This was one of my most favorite patio experiences in all of Minneapolis- St. Paul.First and most importantly, the food. While it's a bit on the pricey side, each bite I was reminded that it was totally worth it.I got the diablo chicken salad that was about $14. A salad for $14!? Yep, and. it. was. awesome. Perfectly grilled and spiced chicken, pine nuts, watermelon and a honey vinaigrette made me giddy with salad delight. The fusion burger with wild mushrooms and infused with duck bacon actually rivaled any burger from the Nook. This is unheard of. Their flavors are so vibrant and fresh. Everyone around me seemed delighted with their meals. They have a great assortment for the carnivores and vegetarians in your group of friends. (Take them all!) \Your experience at Craft Mobile Kitchen will be just one more reason you will dread the coming of winter."

Sambusa Samosa

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Was able to catch them when they were in town and am glad that I did.Food was absolutely stellar! The samosas were perfectly seasoned and the right amount of crisp.Seems like a mom and kids operation so hopefully everyone can support that. The young girl taking the order was patient and shared answers to the questions that I had. Would highly recommend this place if your able to catch them"

Sabrosos Taco

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"The food is great, always flavoful and perfectly prepared. The prices are very fair, and the variety is very good. Tacos are great, but what I really love are the Tortas. Also I cannot resist the Elote (Mexican corn on the cob) every time I go there. On the SE corner of 70th & Cahill Ave, Inver Grove Hts. They are usually open until 8 PM. They are typically closed on bad weather days, and sometimes gone to events on weekends. It is a family run operation, and the family is super nice. Also they give you a pager to let you know when the food is ready. Give them a try!!"

Sizzling Wagon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (26) • $$

"Had the Angry Bird sandwich while the truck was parked at The Bakken Museum. It was delicious. A+. I barely stopped eating to breathe. The fries were fantastic as well, perfectly seasoned. Service was friendly and quick. Recommend."

Taqueria Victor Hugo

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This place was delicious! My partner and I both got burritos. I got asada, he got al pastor. There's rice, lettuce, cheese and onions with the meat. It was $21.06 for the two and quite big. A line started up just after we ordered so we didn't have to wait long."

Kevin’s Gyros

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Had the gyro and fries from here at the apple orchard for lunch.The meat was not dry and there was plenty of it with a good sauce and a good ration or toppings in the gyro sandwich.The fries were hot and fresh and seasoned well. They tasted good. Quick service and was good to see that as an option at the orchard along with other offerings available for the MEA week.I will definitely eat here again if they are at other festivals or places that I visit."

El Jefe Cocina & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (93) • $$

"Let's talk about the good, the bad, and the uglyWho am I kidding, it was all goodStarted with avocado fries and chipotle cream Definately our new favorite appetizer An avocado, or two, quartered into wedges, breaded with a crunchy breading, then deepfried. Amazing Also ordered chips and quac. Chips are made on site, quartered white corn tortillas, then deep fried and salted. Great. Only exceeded by the guacamole, fresh and simple. All that avocado, tomatoes cilantro and salt can make it. Boom.Next came the tacos, carnitas and asada. Both were good, but we liked the carnitas more. However, the pork was more like tinga, not carnitas. Real carnitas are hunks of pork shoulder, cooked in fat until soft. Then for tacos it is usually chopped, then fried crisp. These were more like Mexican pulled pork Great, but not exactly carnitas.The asada was fairly typical, which is to say merely okThey were both served on doubled corn tortillas. They are white corn, not yellow corn. And I just dont find white corn tortillas that good.The salsa were very good, but spicy. We got salsa verde with the pork and chipotle with the asada. Both delicious, but spicy, if that is a concern of yours. Not for me, but tastes differ, so if mild is your gig, be sure to askI would go five stars, but the tortillas bring it down. You may think that is petty, but a taco place needs great tortillas to get five stars."

Tacos Tacuba

★★★★★ 4.8 (13)

"I can guarantee that every single person has their own favorite taco place. I can also guarantee that debating where to get the best tacos in the Twin Cities is as heated as the 2020 debates. While I can't say that Tacos Tacuba has the best tacos in the Twin Cities, I can say that they do have some pretty damn tasty tacos.Since it is a food truck, the menu is pared down compared to a brick and mortar location, but that doesn't mean that Tacos Tacuba skimps on the pure variety of their dishes. From tacos, to tortas, to gringas, to gorditas with prensado de chicharron, Tacos Tacuba really does feel like authentic Mexican food from the streets of Mexico City transplanted to Burnsville. I tried their gorditas de prensado de chicharron, which was pretty tasty but not really my style. I do love tacos though, and their tacos were amazing! I tried the chorizo, the asada, the al pastor, and the cochinta pibil. They were all flavorful and huge, and generous for the price! The chorizo in particular had a really nice sweet smokiness that I hadn't found in other chorizos. There also aren't too many places that have cochinta pibil, which is a slow roasted shredded pork seasoned with a variety of spices. Tacos Tacuba did it so well, I'm tempted to go back just for the cochinta pibil. They also provide green or red hot sauce, and the hot is HOT. I'm talking sweat down your brow hot. The tacos do come with some raw sliced beets, which I guess if you like beets, it's great? I could do without. The staff are super friendly, and they work to get your order out as soon as possible. You do have to wait, sometimes up to 30 minutes if there's a few orders in front of you, but you can definitely wait in your car if the weather isn't that good. There are a few stools to sit and eat if you prefer too. Tacos Tacuba might be my new favorite taco spot, and it's a welcome addition to the south metro."

Fare Game

★★★★★ 4.7 (9)

"Fare Game Food Truck I got the call from @chef_sawicki to come check out @faregamene and I came running. I was really excited to see that they just added a Smash Burger to their menu. But know that it's only served on Wednesday from 4pm - 8pm and for brunch Friday - Sunday 10am-2pm. The @faregamene food truck sits on the corner of Johnson and 29th in @northeastminneapolis. The food truck occupies the parking lot of the full brick and mortar that's coming soon. We tried a large variety of the menu. Ribs, Fried Chicken Sandwich, a Smash Burger, Mac N cheese and Broccoli Salad. I already want to go back to try the rest of the menu. There's other items that really stuck out to me like the Fried Bologna Sandwich that I know I'll be back soon for. But my favorite of this trip was the Smash Burger! It was so dang good with 2 - 1/4 lb smashed well seasoned patties, Griddled Onions, American cheese, White BBQ Sauce, House Made Mustard Pickles on an awesome Brioche BunFull line up of what we had below :Slow-Cooked Ribs, Smoked with Dry MN Red Oak Logs. Side of Black Pepper BBQ Sauce and Mustard Jalapeño BBQ Sauce Two Buttermilk Fried Chicken Tenders. Served on a Brioche Bun toasted with Butter. Mustard Slaw, House Made Pickles, and Dukes Mayo on the Bun.Fare Game Burger2 Smashed Patties, American cheese, White BBQ, Griddle Onions, Mustard Pickles, Brioche bunPoblano Mac N CheeseCavatappi Noodles tossed with a sauce made from three kinds of cheese and Roasted Poblano PeppersBroccoli and Sliced Avocado. Dressed in a Lime-Crema Dressing. Garnished with Pickled Onions, Cilantro and Sunflower Seeds.Go check this food truck out! You won't be disappointed! And you gotta love their mission. It just makes you feel good A new food truck honoring the return to the origins of cooking and hospitality. A celebration of the spirit of our humanity in which we gather around a fire, create honest food, and share it with friends. We hope you will like it here."

All Taco

★★★★★ 4.7 (30) • $$

"This truck is so legit that it better never quit! I've driven by this stand for years, no several years and I could kick myself. They recently moved into Heights from Fridley and knowing they are 10 blocks closer to my house is a treat. I've been twice in the last week and there are no pictures because there was only snarfing. The tacos are just a cut above anywhere else for all the reasons to follow. Firstly, the corn tortillas are soft with a bit of chew and not even the slightest bit dry. The meats are packed with flavor and have little crispy edges from searing on the flat top. There's plenty of cilantro, lime, red onion, cucumber, and salsa verde. The cherry in top is a stewed/roasted pepper on each taco that pumps up the heat. Skip the elote as it may have been canned corn topped with mayo. Besides that, I couldn't tell you anywhere else to get a better taco."

Smoke Session BBQ

★★★★★ 4.9 (16)

"I have stopped by Smoke Session's food truck a couple of times now - I suspect that's a trend that is going to continue.The food truck can often be found camped out in a vacant lot on White Bear Ave during the week. The daily offerings vary a bit, but so far I can speak to the deliciousness that is their brisket, ribs and Hmong sausage. While not too heavy on the smoke everything has always been really well cooked, tender and tasty. Side dishes aren't anything special, but you can get rice, fries and coleslaw to go with any meal.For BBQ the prices are pretty reasonable, the staff has always been friendly and since they often appear to sell out during the day it appears others seem to agree."

Tacos Mi Tierra

★★★★★ 5 (8)

"Agree with reviews about the great food. Hard to believe their picture of the thick beef filled quesadilla, but it was true. The longer wait for food is also true. If you see a few people standing outside as you drive by, keep driving and stop another day."

Westy’s Shako Shack

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Absolutely amazing! I got the cheesy bacon fries and fried pickles and I can't decide which one I like more. I would recommend this food truck to everyone! (I am a food truck enthusiasts and annual event food truck coordinator so I have sampled quite a few trucks). This is by far my favorite food truck I have ever had."

Taqueria Del Buen Pastor

★★★★★ 4.9 (16) • $

"As far as "Fast-Food" Mexican places go, the Taqueria Del Buen Pastor blows the competition out of the water. If you drive by and see it, I challenge you stop and give it a try. My friend swears by this place and I always joke that he alone is keeping them open. But as the word travels, the truck is getting more attention. I have really only tried the tacos and what the tacos lack in size they make up for in flavor. I have tried both the lengua (beef tongue) and the tripas (beef intestines) and I really enjoyed them. The taco comes with your normal fixings plus cilantro and radishes! I have also seen how big the large burrito is...better be really hungry if you order that."

Thai 1 On Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10)

"Delicious food. Please come back to East Bethel as soon as possible. Hoping to try the shrimp and pineapple fried rice soon."

Station No 6 Food Truck

★★★★★ 4.8 (19) • $$

"I finally got to try this food truck at the Hopkins Food Truck Festival. The hot honey chicken sandwich was AMAZING! This burger had a great cheese pull and the hot honey was a perfect balance of sweet & spicy. All I was missing was a basket of fries (which wasn't offered). The service was amazing, very fast & effective! The ambiance was fine. If you ever see this food truck, CHECK IT OUT!"

Parlour Food Truck

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (27)

"We love the Burgers! They have the smash burger thing down. Simple menu, decent portions. Prices..... A bit steep! Combined with a brewery that they're parked at and you'll hit $100 bucks in no time."

Coffeesmith

★★★★☆ 4.2 (43) • $$

"I'd seen several reviews from several folks and wanted to try out this quaint coffee shop close to home. And, it didn't disappoint at all! From the outside of the shop to the decor and ambiance inside, it felt like "home" drinking coffee here.As soon as I walked in, a small dog was sleeping on its chair and looked right at home. The staff was absolutely friendly and accommodating. I asked for a mocha/coffee that they recommended and it was wonderful. Not too sweet, not too nutty. The perfect combination! And the presentation was beautiful. Thank you!!I would visit here again. It appeared it was likely a regular shop for some of those that visited. It started off quiet at 8am but became a lot busier as the sun came up. It looks like plenty of people feel the same about Coffeesmith. I would definitely recommend!!"
