Your Friday Faves: Food trucks
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- How about making today a food truck Friday day? We asked ABC-13 viewers for their favorite mobile eateries, and we put together the top 10 list for you to enjoy!
The Chi'Lantro truck specializes in Korean/Asian and Mexican influenced cuisine. ABC-13 viewers rave about the Kimchi fries. It's a mound of Korean BBQ, chopped grilled onions, cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, cilantro, magic sauce, sriracha and sesame seeds. All set on top of a pile of crispy French fries. See why they're number one?
If you're craving Colombian food, find the Los Perros food truck roaming around town. Their Colombian take on burgers and dogs is a crowd favorite among ABC-13 viewers. They also serve up authentic Latin American dishes.
Flipsters love Flip n Patties' Filipino street food and burgers. They were the first food truck ever to serve grass-fed patties in steamed buns. They strive for good, natural food.
If you see a bright green school bus, you'll know you're at Taconmadre Taqueria. The taco bus also makes a mean burger and fries plate too.
You may have eaten at Bernie's brick and mortar location in Bellaire, but the buses are always around town. The burger menu is school themed, with names like detention, recess, and study hall. Then choose your extracurriculars, or type French fries, to complete the meal.
Gastro Punk describes itself as American street food with South Texas attitude. It's pub grub with a unique twist, Texas attitude, and rock 'n roll. They've got an assortment of mouth-watering specialties from the buttermilk fried chicken and jalepeno cheddar biscuits to bacon-wrapped stuffed peppers.
When we rounded up the Friday Faves list for top tacos, El Taconazo came out on top. The tacos are just $1.75 each, so it's easy to sample one of everything! It isn't a typical food truck, in the sense that it doesn't move. It's parked on Fulton Street, and once you've passed the tire shop, it's in their backyard.
If you're craving waffles, The Waffle Bus is parked at the University of Houston four days a week, in addition to a number of other stops. But these aren't just your standard waffles. They've got chicken and waffles, waffle burgers, smoked salmon waffles, and sweet waffle treats.
Monster PB&J puts a unique spin on the kindergarten classic. They'll create a PB&J sandwich with fresh-ground nut butters, sliced fruit and local jams. Their all-vegetarian menu is vegan-friendly, and they offer gluten-free bread and chips.
Slider sandwiches are the specialty at Curbside Sliderz, whether it's burgers, rib-eye, turkey, or chicken. Follow them on Twitter to see where they'll be setting up shop each day.
