The Food Truckasaurus
See All Lists
1. Andrae's Kitchen
Go with the untypical.
I attended the Mobile Chowdown VI event at West Seattle Junction today. The Seattle food truck community has grown a lot since the last one of these that I attended at Seattle Center last year. This version did not have any…More »
2. The Box
Food brings people together.
The story of how I found out about The Box is interesting. I heard about it on Facebook. I don't interact too often on the social network, though I have found it to be a good source for information. In this case, I learned…More »
3. Jemil's Big Easy
Seattle, WA 98112
(206) 428-8305
Categories:
Cajun/Creole,
Sandwiches,
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
With Where Ya At Matt sidelined from the Mobile Food Rodeo event, I decided to give the new Cajun food truck, Jemil's Big Easy a try. The truck had a limited menu for the event. Hence, there were no po-boys or muffalettas unfortunately. Given the…More »
4. Marination Mobile
Attended today's Mobile Chowdown at Seattle Center. I decided to revisit Marination Mobile. Previously, I was on the fence. But I am happy to say that their kim chee fried rice warrants another star.
I got the miso ginger chicken version ($6.75) of…More »

I have to say that I have a higher bar when it comes to Hawaiian plate lunch fare since it is… Read more »
5. Pai's
As a Hawaii native, any new and good Hawaiian place in close proximity that opens up is on my radar. I have been meaning to try Pai's, but the little problem of working on the Eastside has deterred my ability to try this place out. They are currently…More »

Categories:
Food Stands,
Belgian
Neighbourhoods: Southeast Portland, Buckman
Attended the Mobile Chowdown III event across from Safeco Field in Seattle today and Potato Champion was one of the vendors. It has been a while since I took a trip down to PDX, so Potato Champion's appearance is welcomed.
I actually saw the truck…More »

Victoria, BC V8W 1T4
Canada
(250) 298-6877
Categories:
Fish & Chips,
Food Stands,
Seafood
Sometimes I delay writing reviews because I have to prepare myself to write about the grandiosity of the place. This is one of the places. This was the first spot that I visited when I got off the Victoria Clipper and headed into town. And I have to…More »
8. Snout & Co.

Food Stands,
Cuban,

Neighbourhood: Queen Anne
And my 800th goes to Snout!
Attended the Mobile Chowdown VI event at West Seattle Junction over the weekend. While there were the usual suspects there all in one place, I wanted to try food trucks that I haven't visited before. And Snout & Co. was one…More »
9. Street Treats
Seattle, WA 98101
Categories:
Food Stands,
Desserts,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Downtown
After my foray at Caribreoso at the Microsoft RedWest food truck pod, I walked a few paces over to Street Treats as I wanted to try this desserts truck after coming across it a number of times at food truck festivals.
They are currently in Lower…More »
10. Taqueria Guadalajara
Finally took the plunge and visited Taqueria Guadalajara today. I previously had a burrito from El Burrito, a taco stand also at a 76 Station in Kirkland. The menus are similar, but I like this stand better than El Burrito.
First, it is closer to…More »

Neighbourhoods: Southeast Portland, Central Eastside, Hosford-Abernathy
I have had a difficult time tracking down Whiffies and had missed visiting this truck on my recent visit to Portland. Went to the Mobile Chowdown event today at Seattle Center and finally got to try the fried pie goodness. Did not get the full…More »
12. Caribreoso
Caribreoso is one of the vendors at the new Microsoft campus food truck pods. It operates under the truck name, The Jerk Station. This truck could easily be mistaken for a Mexican food truck if not for the cuisines offered. The offerings are a mix of…More »
13. El Burrito Mojado
Based on the praise by a coworker of mine, I ventured to El Burrito Mojado. It is very close to my workplace in Redmond and is within close distance of I-405. It is part of a 76 station which has a convenience store, a coffee stand and El Burrito.…More »

Motosurf is one of several food trucks located on the University of Washington campus serving food up on weekdays. It specializes in Hawaiian plate lunch fare. It is located in Red Square next to a barbecue and hot dog truck. The foot traffic made it…More »
15. Parfait Organic Artisan Ice Cream
For dessert at Mobile Food Rodeo, I paid Parfait a visit. As the name indicates, they offer organic ice cream. There were about 8 or so choices of flavors to choose from. Cups were $4 and cones were $5. The cone seems like a better deal, though given…More »
16. Sawasdee Thai Food
Portland, OR 97205

Categories:
Thai,
Food Stands
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
The last thing I wanted to do before getting on the train to head back to Seattle was to try one of the food stands in Portland. Unfortunately, many of the places were not open due to the Memorial Day holiday. After checking out a number of stands on…More »
17. Where Ya At Matt
Finally made my way to Where Ya Matt on Fat Tuesday. Just in time to try their king cake as it was the last day before Lent. The menu here is one of the better ones of all of the Seattle food trucks because there is a sizable selection of items to…More »
