  • Cupcakes — yummy, specialty cupcakes — are the stars of this gourmet truck. Flavors range from Salted Caramel and Maple Bacon to Red Velvet and Chocolate Vanilla. While it may sound perfect for a dessert, don't wait too long — their cupcakes sell out fast.

Tikka Bytes

  • Tikka Bytes offers Indian street food served in an American way. The menu features rice bowls, burritos and a "Naanwich," a sandwich served on Indian flatbread. But watch out — when they say "spicy," they really mean it. Other Indian dishes like Tikka Masala and Shahi Korma are also available.

Whole Bowl

  • This truck specializes in noodle entrees, including Vietnamese noodle soups, vermicelli bowls and Pad Thai. If you're lucky, you might even get a sample of their spicy mac-and-cheese. And if you're smart, you'll buy a whole bowl (no pun intended).
