Food trucks are taking over the world!

....in the best possible way. Food trucks have traditionally received a bad wrap as a less than desirable and somewhat seedy place to get some grub, but today they have become rather gourmet and unique. Living in So Cal, I get a great sampling of what the world of food trucks has to offer. Here are a few of the ones I've indulged in, once, or twice or maybe more. (I'm not telling.)

Calbi - A Korean/Mexican fusion truck with all sorts of yummy goodness oozing onto your plate. Their Black Jack quesadilla is to die for. The flavors are truly unique, and easily something worth trying if you're in the area.

El Flamin' Taco -  What can I say? It's not your average taco truck. As you can see, they've got the decor down, complete with two TV screens. They make their own tortillas, and if el pastor is your cup 'o tea, you can watch them BBQ it. Great quality ingredients, and this place stays open until 4 a.m. for all you late nighters.

Salinas Churros - I have to post about this lovely find. It was our first food truck experience in So Cal, and will always have a special place in our hearts. If you couldn't guess, churros are their specialty, along with some other yummy Mexican dessert dishes. Don't ask for a burrito, because they only serve dessert. The churros are worth the drive!

These three trucks are literally only the tip of the iceberg here in So Cal. You can find a truck for any kind of food you're in to, here are some exciting finds:

The Grilled Cheese Truck
Crepes Bonaparte
Frysmith
PattyWagon

And the list could go on, and on, and on....

For those of you in the So Cal area on Fridays in the summer, you can get your pick of food trucks during Art Walk, an increasingly popular public art spectacular in downtown Los Angeles. Usually over 30+ trucks turn out for the festivities. So whether you can partake in the So Cal food truck extravaganza, or hunt around your local area to find a hidden truck treasure, it's definitely worth trying!
