The Most Flavorful Food Trucks in Tampa

Pacos Tacos

★★★★☆ 3.8 (5)

"DELICIOUS TACOS! Friendly staff! Highly recommend for authentic Mexican! Ingredients are always fresh and their salsas are amazing! My family and I love stopping by for a quick lunch or dinner !"

Wing Box

★★★★☆ 4.1 (38) • $

"I was really excited about Wings today, so you can imagine my disappointment when I received overcooked, extremely salty , baby wings. 8 of them for 8.50 , 9.00 with tip. They were ready 43 seconds after I ordered them which also means they were not hot or fresh. The Ranch dressing looked like it had been partially used so I did not have any dipping sauce. I will not order from here again."

Gin Khao

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"amazing. best around I've had. would come back again got pine apple fried rice and pad Thai chicken"

Monica's Tacos

★★★★☆ 4.1 (17) • $

"Cash only, hidden behind the liquor store! The pork and steak tacos are amazing! Loved the tamales and sopas also. The pork has pineapple flavor to it, its so good. The green sauce is very good and not too spicy."

Ginger's Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"It's delicious! I'm so happy to give another food truck a 5 star review. It's not always about the lighting or décor of a place. The food and service matters the most to me, and Ginger's Café deserves lots of praise for a quick and hot meal that was so wonderful and comforting.First of all, definitely try to get the bibimbap if you happen to see it posted. It's not on the regular menu, but you'll see it as the daily special posted on the counter window. It was delicious, and a very big portion of ground beef bulgogi on top of rice and all different kinds of veggies including spinach (all kinds of goodness). You get your choice of beef or pork. You can also skip the rice and get all meat and veggies if that's what you desire. They will also add a fried egg for an extra $1. I didn't ask for the egg but it was the best mistake ever. The yolk mixed with the rice and beef made it an even tastier treat for me. It reminded me of my mother because she used to love her fried egg on top of white rice. I never could understand it until now. It completed the whole experience. They give you gochujang sauce on the side, but it really didn't need it. They also give you a small side of mild or spicy kimchi. I got the mild one and it was very tasty. I'd get the bibimbap bowl again in a heartbeat. The fresh lemonade was also what I needed to wash it all down. It took me a while to write this review because I had to go back a second time just to try the egg rolls. These were huge rolls filled with cabbage, carrots, glass noodles and bits of pork here and there. It can be its own meal. They give you 2 very large rolls. They were hot and crispy as an egg roll should be. This is something else I would order again but I would need to share it with someone else next time. I want to go back to try the sweet & spicy pork bites as well as the bulgogi burger.The food truck is in front of the Brandon Oriental Market on Saturdays. I haven't been to their primary location at 127 N Moon Avenue yet. I just happened to see the schedule posted on Facebook. There is also a nice article in the Osprey Observer about the Korean/American family who owns this local business. The food is great, the price is reasonable, and Ginger and her family provide great service. I can't wait to go back."

Uncle Taco

★★☆☆☆ 2 (4)

"Uncle Taco Food Truck was great! No doubt about it.I saw they were at the Epperson Lagoon in Wesley Chapel, & had birria tacos so had to get it.I called in to make my order and it was ready in 15 minutes. I waited a couple min so I went over to the other truck there.Came back and my food was ready. Both our chicken bowl and birria tacos were tasty and the service was great and friendly.Would definitely recommend them if you stumble upon their truck somewhere!"

Lolis Mexican Cravings

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (19)

"Lolis has brought its brand of "Mexican Cravings" to Riverview, and it is in a small food stand along Highway 301. If you're familiar with Lolis' restaurants, then you will love this food stand. It offers the same great menu tightly wrapped up in a little truck. If you haven't tried Lolis, then you are in for a treat during your commute.It may be hard to believe, but this food truck delivers the big time taste--that's uniquely Lolis'--to commuters and residence in Riverview and surrounding communities. Carnitas, pastor, asada and other staples are served here without missing a morsels of flavor. This location also accepts credit cards, cash and mobile payments. I highly recommend stopping in and trying this Lolis. Picnic tables are also provided for those who want to "dine in.""

Lynda’s Fruit

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"I like Lynda's Fruit. The smoothies and food are freshly prepared, The mangonada with pineapples, no sugar added is my top choice. It contains so much flavor and the consistency is perfect. Great price @ $6."

Helo India

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"The other day I was pumping gas at the Shell up the street and noticed this food truck had a really nice spot to sit outside. The weather has been amazing since the hurricane so I decided to check it out and it could not have been a better choice. Everybody was so kind and helpful, plus it was Indian food!!! They have other options as well: breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, cubans, but I really wanted to try their butter chicken! It was great with the rice and garlic naan. I even got a Thumbs Up which is really India's version of Coke.The whole experience was exactly what I needed: great people, food and location!"

Rico Rico Bakery

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (5)

"Had some amazing guava pastries and great iced coffee and hot latte. Great selection of desserts and pastries. Excellent teal puerto rican atmosphere."

La Criolla Cafe & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (43)

"I was looking for a satisfying meal before hitting home.I stopped at La Criolla Cafe. Plenty of parking across the street.I was greeted and noticed it was not what I had expected. Ambiance was counter with food with table in the middle of a somewhat store.It was Mexican food. I was in the mood for it. I liked that the tacos were made to order. I noticed a senior enjoying her soup. I decided to give it a try. Wow!! The soup reminded me of grandma's cooking back in Brooklyn. I ate the whole thing. It came with rice and chicken breast and pasta salad.I also ordered a beef taco. I ate the whole thing. It's not your typical restaurant. but it surely will satisfy you."

Top Dog Concessions

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"First time I have been to this food truck and I was impressed! Quick friendly service and the Chicago Dog was excellent. I will definitely be back!! Thanks Top Dog!!"

Taco de Oro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32) • $

"This place is amazing come check it out they have three locations I can't possibly recommended more, follow me on Instagram Americas_eating eating"

Norma's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Outdoor eating. It's pretty clean. Worth it. You should def give it a try. The carne asada so tasty."

Johnnys Table

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"I'm a super picky eater and I was blown away by not only how flavorful his food was but how all the meats we're tender and juicy. I tried the roasted pork tacos and the table (a little of everything), everything was amazing and his homemade sauces were unlike anything I've ever had before. Going beyond the food Johnny was very personable and speaks very passionately about all his (food) creations. I cannot wait to go back."

The Latin Dugout

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"This is not you normal Latin food. It has special items you may want to explore. They have something that I don't have before. This food truck also serve some Italian pasta. But their specialty is really the Dominican street food. They have plenty items to try. We got pinchofongo. It is strange street food. The inside can be chicken or pork. We pick the marinated grilled pork. This dish the pork is wrapped the fresh plantains outwardly. Then it deep fried. This dish is good with finger eating. It was delicious. Other than pinchofongo, they have the Yaroa, Mangu, and salchipapa. All this are rare ethnic food. If you do go, the area have a lot food trucks to try."

Al Stilo Peru

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Had the traditional ceviche and it was soooooo good! Definitely coming back to try everything else. A++++++"

Impasto

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"We were so lucky to get this food truck at work last Wednesday! A fairly new truck, they specialize in a sort of flatbread/pizza rollup in a variety of flavors, in addition to decadent parmesan truffle fries and more apps. They were super friendly, fast and delicious, not to mention accommodating to our needs.I LOVE that they had local drinks like Made cold brew and Mother's kombucha on tap!Unfortunately, they did run out of a few items: cold brew, fried chicken; so, I recommend getting in line and ordering first before it's gone!I had the meatball Impasto and it was so hearty and delicious. They do NOT skimp on ingredients and I had enough for leftovers.Suggestion for the business: It would be great if you created a "half rollup, half fry" meal deal for people who don't want leftovers or who don't want to spend too much on lunch. I think it would do really well!"

Frutella Riverview

★★★★★ 4.7 (11)

"I decided to try this local establishment after seeing the delicious videos on Instagram. I took a chance driving south on 301 in Riverview (IYKYK) lol This spot is located on the same lot as the Marathon gas station. I chose to get the fruit salad bowl with the soursop yogurt base. I enjoyed the fresh fruit though the strawberries were tart the bowl was still good. It cost $11.77 so this will be a some time dessert treat you'll go broke if you went frequently. The reason I gave 4 stars is their menu does not show pricing so you find out when you place your order. Giving customers a heads up would be a good idea. Overall the fruit salad bowl was good and refreshing."

Rib Bone Bar-B-Que

★★★★★ 5 (1) • $

"This place is incredible! Great service, good location and delicious food. We came for the soft opening and are enjoying every moment . You gotta check out the pulled pork over mac and cheese. The deviled eggs are amazing too!!"

Selfie Subs

★★★★★ 4.5 (117) • $

"Food is just as good as I remember when we lived in NJ where my husband was stationed for the Air Force. I ordered their onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and a steak and cheese with the works. Definitely will be back. This will be my go to for steak and cheeses. Friendly service and knowledgeable."

Dhaaba Indian Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"We noticed the Dhaaba Indian Food Truck in our area and decided to have Saturday night dinner there.I called ahead and placed an order for Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Kebab. When I went to pick up the order, I was surprised by the long line of people waiting to order and pick up their food--a sign of its popularity!We started with the Chicken Kebab, which was delicious--perfectly grilled with spices and absolutely mouthwatering.Next, we tried the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was good with rice, though a bit sweeter than we expected.We'll definitely be back to try more items from their menu, especially their different rolls."

Uncle Jimmy's Hot Dogs

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"Went there for Breakfast and Lumch today.- cool food truckFor Breakfast:Got a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Kaiser Roll Great sandwich with a fried egg and crispy Bacon.

Hott Mess

★★★★☆ 4.3 (38) • $$

"We discovered HOTT MESS while I (my sidekick Law just kept saying yum or not for me as I did due diligence for our wknd in Tampa). We were going for the Worlds Largest Food Truck Festival. I knew with 208 trucks and so many choices I wanted to try all the trucks that truly offered something that had a UNIQUE TWIST. So I looked for every truck on FB or the Web/Yelp/UP, many nights of food porn let me tell you.I had my GREEN LIGHT list and my LOOK AT list. Finding HOTT MESS on FB gave me chance to see some of their food as well as a sample of their menu.They were MY first truck to visit.They had many wonderful choices that day, but I ordered the Tots Ziki...HOT, CRISP tots topped with all the WONDERFUL makings of a GYRO. Not only was it a good looking dish, it was one of the best uses of tator tots that we have ever had.But its not just the food that will draw you in, its the GREAT ENERGY that the crew has;Friendly and Creative. A combo that will bring us back to try many more options of their ability to take the simple and jack it up to be a HOTT MESS of YUM. We are proud to be HOTT MESS GROUPIEs :-)"

Brasas & Carbon By Dominicks Kallejon 813

★★★★☆ 3.7 (11)

"The partner's family is Peruvian and brought me here for my first experience with Peruvian food and not a single dish disappointed. We had the beef heart, ceviche, leche de tigre, and multiple other dishes. Each had a rich flavor, the meet was all extremely tender, and there was a mix of hot and cold dishes. They also have juice, soda, and beer from Peru.Service was helpful and quick. Was able to order in Spanish and English. The space is clean with lots of seating for a small restaurant. There is a small stage, large speakers, and a projection screen for karaoke nights, soccer games, and live music. Will be back for breakfast soon."

Tacos Isabel

★★★★★ 4.5 (42) • $

"When a food truck stays in one place for years, as have these folks, you know you might be on to something good!Atmosphere- What! Atmosphere for a food truck? Yup. As business increased they added a beautiful covered patio so you could eat protected from that brutal Florida sun. Then they added a building with two immaculate bathrooms. Finish off with a little landscaping and it's not your typical food truck anymore.Location- Wauchula is a tiny spec of dirt on your GPS screen in Central Florida. You'll probably blow buy when you are going somewhere else on Route 17. As they are open all three meals, you'll kick yourself if you don't stop and give them a try.Pro Tip- This place is soft drinks only so stop at any number of places on Route 17, as I did, and grab a cold beer to go.Food- Standard Mexican fare in all it's glory. I went with three Beef Gorditas and they were pockets of warm spicy love and just lightly fried. I added beans and rice. The beans were not mush like you get in some places but chunky and delicious. I was stuffed for $8.50.So I was sitting in the shade, sipping my ice cold Modelo, munching excellent food, and wishing this place were closer to me so I could visit at least once a week."

Vietnamese Food Truck

★★★★☆ 3.6 (17)

"Vietnamese Food Truck was a super perfect dinner for me tonight! I saw they were in the nearby neighborhood today, & I immediately went online to order.Since it is a chilly winter night, I knew that Pho was perfect for me. I ordered the beef and meatball pho and it was a great amount of meat to noodle ratio. It was super tasty. I also ordered the bbq Pork banh mi. It had tons of flavor with it and the bread was a nice texture, not too hard and still nicely toasted.Lastly, I ordered the Vietnamese wings with fries. The flavor is good for the wings and the fries were okay, they are the skinny ones. That was my husband's order.When I ordered it online I received an update through text of when it would be finished and I drove across the street to get it. So super simple and convenient. I'm super happy to have their leftovers tomorrow!! So so good.Thanks for coming out to the area! So nice not to go far and leave the neighborhood!"

Taqueria Dona Reme

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"Best authentic tacos around! Recently found this place within the last couple months. Employees are very kind. Portions are perfect! Everything I've tried so far is delicious! Reasonably priced. Fast service. They have a covered awning to eat under, or you can get it to go! If you do eat there, it's usually breezy on that corner so make sure you keep your plate and napkins weighed down or they will fly away"

South Tampa Sandwich

★★★★☆ 3.9 (15) • $$

"I had the Cuban with fries which was a great value. The sandwich was good and the fries came out hot and crispy. This is a good truck outside of Home Depot and there were a couple picnic tables for dining on site. The prices for everything seemed very reasonable and the truck appeared to do a good lunch business with lots of people placing orders as I ate. If you are in the area and looking for something quick, you should definitely swing by here."

Spaddy's Coffee

★★★★★ 4.7 (205) • $

"best coffee in all of tampa. we are from out of town and this is our go to. Best taste and value wise. cute outdoor seating area as well. addendum- just realized i had a review from a year ago that expressed the exact same sentiment. i don't leave too many reviews so i guess it just goes to show how much i love this spot."

Gardu Café

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"OMGoodness- my daughter had been bragging about this food truck at the entrance to her neighborhood and I got to try them this past weekend!!! And woohoo~ and nice little stroll in the full on Florida sun, we arrived and assessed the menu board. Pro TIP- they have off menu breakfast sandwiches (sometimes) so ask!!! I ordered a coconut-vanilla latte, my daughter went with some crazy frapp thing (she wanted cold and I should have joined her) that was mocha and coffee. They make the Brazilian cheese bread from scratch, along with other pastries and they are the size of a huge muffin!!! Connor got one of those, Crystin got a cheese danish which she said was ridiculously heavy and I got the off menu bacon-egg-cheese (fresh baked) croissant sandwich. I didn't dare sip my coffee until I was back in air conditioning- it was perfection in a cup. My daughter's frapp thing tasted wonderful too (next time- I'm getting that), I even tried a bite of her danish and it was buttery goodness with wonderful cheese filling. My croissant- holy out-of-this-world good! The bacon was super thick and tasty (I do wish it was more crispy), eggs and cheese on that fresh croissant filled me up quick! The smell was torture on the way back to the house! The Food truck is family owned and operated and just a wonderful bunch! IF you live in Mirada- hunt them down!!! They are worth it. We saw many people park on either side to order and drive home- so you know they are getting the word of mouth! They are only open on Saturday and Sunday- google claims they are open both days in the morning, but my daughter said they are open Saturday mornings and a little later on Sunday and have delicious empanadas made from scratch. YUM!!!"

Anju Korean Gastrotruck

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $$

"This truck just came to my workplace and it was delicious! I avoided it last time because I was trying to be more healthy, but gosh darn it, sometimes you've got to splurge! I'm glad I did. I was really tempted to get the tots, which come with bulgogi beef (thin sliced, sesame sauce marinated) because it had all sort of radical toppings, but I went for the combo instead. The combo includes fried chicken bites tossed in a sweet sauce aside bulgogi beef, sticky rice and a chicken egg roll on top. It was $12 and a pretty hefty lunch. I would definitely eat at this truck again! I love Korean food!"

Brother Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"Ordered the sliders and the fried plantain, fried cheese, chicken plate. Very very good! Pineapple juice is fresh and delicious! Highly recommend you to check this food truck out."

Blessed Belly Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37) • $$

"All I have to say is WOW! This is the best birria I have ever tasted. The meat is juicy and flavorful, The ingredients are fresh, the cheese is melty and perfect and the portions are super generous. We purchased the Birria Pizza for 3 adults and 1 child and it was more than enough! It was delicious, well balanced between tortilla, meet and cheese and left us feeling happy and stuffed. The Birria egg rolls were crunchy, full or gooey cheese and flavorful meat! I will say that the price point is pretty high, but the flavor is worth it!"

La Tri Color

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Wow! Great food! Great atmosphere and super friendly! I'm so happy we found this place. Brings back good memories from the foods of Colombia. Spanish: Buena comida, buen ambiente y gente super amable. Lina estuvo fantastica! Estoy tan feliz de haber encontrado esta pequeña área. esto me trajo muy buenos recuerdos de las comidas en Colombia. ¡Trae efectivo! ¡Todos ustedes no se sentirán decepcionados!"
