Top 5 US Food Truck Locations

Seattle Food Trucks

Not only is Seattle a wonderful place to visit and/or live, but it is flooding with food trucks. As you likely already know, Seattle is also known for its coffee (Starbucks, anyone?). Therefore, it would only be right if one of the top food truck locations on the Seattle food trucks list featured — drumroll, please — coffee. While there are many Seattle food trucks to venture to, here are some of our favorite food trucks in Seattle:

Mighty Bean Espresso:

Reminder: There are plenty of places to choose from when it comes to food trucks of Seattle, but if you do find yourself in Seattle, then you have to try out Mighty Bean Espresso — well, if you are a fan of coffee, that is. And if you are a fan of coffee (any form of coffee, might we add), the sky is the limit at Mighty Bean Espresso. This coffee wonderland dishes out lattes, mochas, cappuccinos — you name it. If you are a fan of smoothies, then they also have you covered in that department. This otherworldly coffee is calling your name.

El Camion:

Do you like authentic Mexican food? Of course you do! Therefore, when you are browsing the Seattle food trucks scene, you have to make a stop (or two) at El Camion. Your taste buds will thank you every single bite, whether you are a fan of tacos, burritos, tamales or quesadillas. If you are looking for the best taco in Seattle, then look no further than El Camion.

Cheese Wizards:

If you are all about that cheese life, then you have to make a stop at this magical food truck of Seattle. One might be wondering what Cheese Wizards brings to the mobile kitchen table.

Top 5 Food Truck Stops

Boston Food Trucks

Boston is alive with food truck culture — there is no denying it. You’d be hard-pressed to walk more than a few minutes without spotting, or smelling, a food truck. While there are many Boston food trucks to choose from, here are some of our favorite food trucks in Boston:

Chicken & Rice Guys

Chicken and rice may sound like an easy recipe, but don’t be fooled. Mastering a simple, yet delicious classic like this takes some experience. Just like the name implies, these guys know chicken and rice better than anyone else in the Boston area. If chicken and rice isn’t your jam, they’ve got all the halal classics including gyros, fresh warm pita bread and baklava. Once you try this place once — yes, just once — you won’t be able to stop coming back. You haven’t tasted chicken and rice until you have ventured to this Boston food truck.

The Chubby Chickpea

The Chubby Chickpea is fusing modern flavors and techniques with classic Middle Eastern dishes. The real star of the show here is the wide array of sandwiches that this truck offers. From the traditionalist to the vegetarian to the adventurous eater, there is something for everyone. So the next time you venture to this food truck, don’t be afraid to order an entree, a sandwich, a specialty sandwich … or all three! You cannot have enough of The Chubby Chickpea. Thanks to mobile kitchens like this one, it’s no wonder why Boston is one of the top stops when it comes to food trucks.

Boston’s Baddest Burger

Boston food trucks are the best food trucks. If you don’t agree with that, then here is something we can all hopefully agree on: Boston’s Baddest Burger is filled with some serious flavor, and every bite is just as good as the next. If you are a fan of homemade, fresh-ground burgers, then you need to make your next food truck stop at Boston’s Baddest Burger. This mobile kitchen is known for its fresh ingredients, which is never frowned upon.

Flashback Friday: Custom Concessions’ Top Articles Of 2016

You Purchased A Food Truck — Now What?

“You conquered your business plan, you have come up with amazing strategies for your business, you have picked your location, purchased your truck — now what?”

“Well, assuming you have already taken care of your permits and insurance (among other things), the real fun is about to begin. After all, you are about to become a food truck owner, which means you are about to serve up amazing food to happy customers. That’s the dream, right?”

“We will leave you with this question once more: You purchased your food truck — now what? Well, here’s the thing, not every food truck owner’s path is going to be the same. However, we have provided four steps that you can’t forget, and these steps typically come after you have finally purchased your truck.”

Why A High-End Food Truck Is Worth Every Penny

“If you are like us, then you are all about quality.”

“When it comes to buying your food truck, you should not be taking any shortcuts when it comes to quality. Therefore, buying a high-end food truck is worth every penny, and should be a no-brainer. Buying a cheaper truck might seem like a good option on the surface since you will be initially saving money, but that might not be the case in the long run. In fact, a cheaper mobile kitchen could end up costing you a ton of money in the long-term, but we will go into further detail about that later on.”

3 Extremely Unique Ways To Attract More Food Truck Customers

“Believe it or not, you don’t have to have a menu makeover to attract new customers. You don’t even have to change up your brand. While taking extreme measures might help some companies, which includes food truck businesses, you don’t necessarily have to have an extreme makeover to gain new customers.”

“If you are struggling to retain customers, or attract them in general, then you are in luck. We understand how hard it can be to attract customers to your food truck during the offseason (aka when the temperatures start to drop). That is why we have provided three extremely unique ways to attract more food truck customers. Use the points below to your advantage, mobile kitchen owners. In the process, you will attract more customers to your truck, which will lead to more business and more money.”

7 Reasons Every Successful Restaurant Needs A Food Truck

“Do you currently own and operate a successful restaurant? Are you looking for ways to take said successful restaurant to the top? If so, then you should think about adding a food truck business into the mix.”

“If you are on the fence about this idea, or are just hearing it for the first time, then make sure to really think about the seven reasons below. Yes, owning and operating a food truck business might be different than owning and operating a sit-down restaurant, but if you are a good boss, your menu is flawless and you have a good business plan on top of that, then you can certainly make it in both industries, if you will.”

“Nonetheless, here are seven reasons why every successful restaurant needs a food truck.”

Helpful Tips For New Food Truck Owners

“Are you new to the food truck industry? Perhaps you are more fresh than that and have yet to buy your very own food truck. Therefore, your mind might be racing with questions.”

“For example, you might be wondering what a business plan should include, where you can buy a food truck, if you have what it takes to enter this industry, how social media works and the list goes on and on. While we won’t be answering all of those questions, we will be providing future and relatively new food truck owners with some helpful tips. Use them to your advantage.”

“Bonus: Know the laws. There are so many laws that food truck owners have to learn before they jump into this industry, and they can be different in every state. Before you even think about buying a food truck, you might want to learn the laws in your area first.”

Things A Food Truck Owner Has To Learn On The Job

“Being a food truck owner is no cakewalk. After all, you are the one who is taking the risk since you are the one who put the money down, and you are also the one who is running the daily operations. No one said the food truck industry was going to be easy, but it is worth it if you are passionate about food and people.”

“As a result of this fine industry being tough to grow and thrive in, there are plenty of things mobile kitchen owners have to learn on the job. You know, if they plan on staying in this industry for a long time. While some days might be easier than others (that’s typically the case for any business, and how life works in general), food truck owners should use every day, every moment, as a learning experience.”

“Going along with that theme, here are four things a food truck owner has to learn on the job.”
