Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?

I am really much more interested in why all the food trucks seem to be taco trucks. It’s like it’s some kind of national conspiracy.
Where is the pasta truck, the stir fry wok truck, the BLT truck, the foie gras truck, etc.?
We have food trucks where I am that serve cuisines other than Mexican food, even though Mexican is by and large the dominant food truck type I encounter.
I’ve seen vegan food, macaroni, southern United States cuisine, pizza, and African cuisine. In larger cities, I’ve heard of stuff like a grilled cheese truck. They are out there! But now I would be happy to see a Chinese food truck or a Vietnamese food truck.
In Oklahoma totally 100% agree. We have 3 taco trucks in our small town. We’re the variety? I love a BLT truck, and definitely a stir fry truck. I love to start one but damn the cost of the trucks can get expensive.
Damn, I need to find a foie gras truck!
Probably has to do with the fact that you can stock a whole menu with just a few ingredients and everyone likes a taco
You don’t have a variety of food trucks where you live? We have fry trucks, sushi, smoothies, fries, pierogies, burgers, you name it.
We have like eight food trucks in the region and they’re all Taco trucks.
Come to Rhode Island.
We have a surplus of JWU culinary arts graduates who can only afford to cook in a van down by the river.
lmao, I can’t believe someone actually beat me to this. I don’t live there now, but used to and worked in Cumberland in that CVS business park. There’s a little pull off spot in there where food trucks setup shop during lunch hour. I’ve never seen such variety in my life!
Also, no taco truck is better than Pollos Locos, especially at 2AM while drunk stumbling out of the Scurvy.
Nope. I worked for CVS (corporate) once upon a time, but not on the bill…and literally almost everybody in this state has worked for CVS, APC, or Electric Boat at some point in time.
I didn’t work for CVS, just in the same business park.
But yea, especially in Cumberland/Woonsockett it’s a CVS town.
Mena, AR has two BBQ trucks and a Hibachi truck. It’s not all tacos.

I don’t know about where you live, but here there’s thousands of different cuisine trucks. Burger trucks, Indian, Portuguese, pasta, Korean, baked potatoes, etc.
