Allllright. The craze has caught on and the term 'food truck' is officially in our vocabulary. From Cali to NY (and even in Indy), if there's a truck, there's a menu!

For those of you who are unfamiliar or skeptical of food that's on a truck...that is edible non the less-- it is what it seems-but better. From mac 'n' cheese to cupcakes, Chicago has the whole gamet of food-in-truck. Better yet, the truck comes to you and some 4-wheelers even take credit cards...as they should!
My favorite site below has the most comprehensive list I've seen. You can search by date, location, and food type. Yes, the internet makes things very easy these days. Locating food has never been easier!

As for how the food TASTES...there are debates on if the convenience is really worth it. So, I'll break it down for you- for at least the ones I've tried and I'll provide you reviews for the other ones I haven't tried.
5411 Empanadas: Good enough. Get the caramelized onion, for sure!
MeatyBalls Mobile: Mobile meat, can't be beat! Try the Shweddy Balls. If you're weary, you can try the $3 grenades first.
The Southern Mac n Cheese: Save your cash for something better :( $8-$10 for something you usually eat as a side-yikes!
Flirty Cupcakes: Mobile tinycakes. "No" is not in their vocabulary. McDreamy and Devil in Disguise cakes will make your Monday feel like a Friday!
Ones I haven't had the pleasure to take a ride on:
Taquero Fusion: Review
Haute Sausage: Review
As winter nears, you may be unable to walk to your favorite deli or yogurt shop across the river, but have no fear- a truck is near!
