Tampa Bay Area Food Truck Suggestions Please!
May 31, 2013 10:32 AM   Subscribe

I'll be visiting family in the area and my brother has expressed an interest in trying out food trucks, especially taco trucks, after hearing me talk about the great ones where I live. He's in Palm Harbor, so North Pinellas and West Tampa, especially around Hillsborough Ave. are easy to reach. Any recommendations, locations found, etc. is appreciated. I asked on another forum and was advised to "drive around"... our timeline and family obligations don't allow for that level of flexibility. I also had read a report about a Korean Taco Truck on Hillsborough from a year ago. That would be fun too if they are still around. Has anyone seen them? Thanks!

The Korean taco truck you've heard of might be Stinky Bunz? Owned by my wife's cousin. Not sure where/when they are operating, tho.

I found this and this and this fairly easily. Surely one of those resources can help you out.

Here's something from Metromix which specifically mentions at least one Mexican food truck. Here's a list of the nine best food trucks in Tampa Bay, as voted by residents.

If you google "Tampa Bay food trucks" you'll get lots more to look through!

Good luck!

Taco Bus

We've been here three weeks and haven't seen a Food Truck in the wild other than at the St Pete Saturday Morning Market, which just closed up shop for the season. Taco Bus on Hillsboro Ave would certainly count.

La Creperia Cafe in St Pete has a mobile unit, but I don't know much about it.

Maggie on the Move has a FB page, perhaps look up some of the others from the links above and find their FB pages. Most of them will publish their schedule ahead of time.

Good luck.

Response by poster: My brother opted for the Taco Bus on E. Hillsborough and he really enjoyed the experience.
Thanks all!
