Sacramento Food Trucks are the talk of the town

Whether you're reading this weeks News & Review, Yelp's group email, both Sac Magazines or just street talk, you probably are sick of hearing/reading about it. That is until you try it....

A new breed of roach coaches is upon us...."gourmet" food trucks! And I love it.

I had two food trucks I used to go to when I was in the area of them: Freeport Taco Truck and the taco truck on Northgate Blvd on the way to a Kings game. But now, it's not just tacos anymore (unless you mean Korean short rib tacos), it's local Five Dot Ranch beef burgers, fresh sandwiches made to order, mac-n-cheese, salads, fresh brewed ice tea.

A few big runners in the area are Mama Kim's, MiniBurger & Drewski's. I've had the chance to try the last two and they do not disappoint. This is food that you would not expect to be coming from an oversized truck rv looking thing, but a cafe or bistro or cool corner shop.

If you feel like you might want to give these trucks a taste of your buds, then you're in luck: http://www.sactomofo.com/  This Saturday the 30th at Fremont Park they will be parked around the perimeter from12-6. And with the networking age upon us, you can track their locations via Twitter or Facebook. Check it out!
