The 10 Best Food Trucks in Dallas

What began as a great way to get a quick meal to downtown lunch crowds in cities like L.A., Portland, and New York, has expanded to cities throughout the country. There’s no question that the food truck craze has taken Dallas by storm, and the trucks here represent the city’s diverse food culture- everything from barbecue to tacos to Asian cuisine is represented. Even better--many of the trucks on this list can be found in the conveniently-located food truck parks around Dallas. Here’s our list of Dallas’s best food on four wheels.

When you think of Dallas, you might not immediately think of Vietnamese, but Nammi Truck is serving up some of the best street food in the city. You can’t go wrong with the Bahn Mi with pork (traditional) or beef (c’mon, this is Texas). Order it spicy if you like some heat, and cool down with a basil-mint lemonade or Vietnamese iced coffee, the way the bahn mi gods intended.

Easy Slider serves up burgers the traditional way and the Easy Slider way. We love their classic slider, but the clear crowd favorite is the Sweet & Lowdown, a beef slider topped with strawberry jam, bacon, and goat cheese, which doesn’t sound like it should work but definitely does. This truck has been one of the more popular food trucks around town for a while now, and it’s no surprise why. If they haven’t run out of them, top off your meal with a couple salted caramels, hand-made and delicious.

When it comes to barbecue, don’t mess with Texas (sorry, couldn’t help it). That’s why Ssahm’s Korean BBQ taco truck makes so much sense. It combines the state’s glorious barbecue tradition with spicy Asian influence, and serves it up Mexican style. Whatever you choose for your entree, a Ssahm run isn’t complete without an order of some killer Kimchi fries.

Hot dogs are a truly American pastime. The only way to one up the hot dog game it to take it international, and Lucky Ducky does just that serving everything from Tijuana to Thai-style dogs, to the classic American beef dog. For the adventurous there’s even a spicy gator-pork sausage, topped with a fried egg, and for the vegetarians, there’ a house-made black bean dog hefty enough to feed the hungriest vegetarian.

Already making a splash at several local Mexican food fests this year is Taco Party, serving up creative takes on classic street fair style tacos. Definitely try the delicious fried potato tacos or the ancho barbecue brisket tacos with crispy onion. Need we say more?

With it’s relative proximity to Louisiana, it’s no surprise that Dallas has some good Cajun food. Cajun Tailgators is the first food truck in D-Town to specialize in Cajun food. Customers go crazy for the Crawfish pistolette and etouffee. If you really want to get some Cajun points, try a fried boudin ball, a revelatory southern-style meatball.

In a state famous for all things beef, it’s a curveball to find great vegetarian food. Good Karma Kitchen serves up great veggie cuisine that leans towards the barbecue and Mexican traditions of the region. Serving three meals a day, GKK is a great change of pace from other food options in the area. The customer favorite is definitely the Frito pie, which is both gluten free and a delicious southwest classic.

Truck outpost of the famous NY-style deli chain, Gandolfo’s serves up what could be the best Reuben in Dallas, known on the truck as the I Love NY sandwich. With sandwiches this good, you can call them whatever you want, as long as we can have one. Conveniently located in Kylde Warren Park, Gandolfo’s is one of the tried and true trucks in this part of the city for classic deli sandwiches.

One of the original Dallas food trucks, this wood-paneled truck celebrates all things meat—from the famous pulled-pork grilled cheese, to the steak frites with parmesan fries. If you’re truly hungry, Jack’s Chowhound is one of the best decisions you’ll make all day.

With all the delicious food on this list, you’re going to need a solid beverage to balance it out. It’s hard to beat the addictive concoction of flavored iced tea, milk and chewy tapioca pearls. Bobaddiction also serves up four kinds of shaved “snow,” a frozen treat that seems half shave-ice half ice cream, and all sorts of refreshing.
