9 Best Food Trucks in Toronto
Toronto is home to some of the finest food trucks on the continent and perfect for gourmet grab-and-go grub. Here are nine of our favourite stops.
-
Fidel Gastro's
The grandaddy of all food trucks is Fidel Gastro's. These portions offer a huge food experience best for bigger kids with bigger appetites. FG's is famous for Sgt. Slaughter, a BBQ pulled pork sandwich with guacamole cream and crushed tortilla chips. Try the Sloppy Jose, featuring cola braised brisket with home-style baked beans—because you can!
-
Food Dudes
Kids will gobble down their Captain Crunch coated fish tacos without a single complaint, and they'll be equally enamoured by the banana nutella 'bomb' dessert. You'll be scribbling down the dudes' digits as potential caterers for your next grown-up party, too.
-
Gourmet Gringos
We're fond of the chicken quesadillas, some of the cheesiest around—but the beer battered mahi mahi tacos are what got us hooked. These burritos are really big and really bodacious.
-
Choco Churros
Never heard of a churro? You won't ever forget the name after trying one of these sweet, fried Mexican delights. Having an entire food truck devoted to the delights is genius—especially when chocolate is added.
-
Crossroads Diner
Can you say peanut butter, bacon and banana on a brioche? Elvis could, and that's why the sandwich is named after him. The kids might not know who The King was, but they'll agree that these sandwiches—and the pressed caprese sandwich option—are royalty. End with diner-style pie or crumble in a glass.
-
Stuft Gourmet Sausages
With a new summertime home at King and Blue Jays Way, you'll never endure an overpriced ball park wiener again. With amazing flavour combinations from Thai Chicken to Jamaican Jerk Pork (or Mushroom Beef, for our less adventurous kids), a Stuft sausage—encased in a baguette-like wrapper—is a much more natural and gourmet approach to pre-game dining.
-
Tiny Tom Donuts
No longer do we have to wait for the CNE or make the drive to Markham for their one storefront location to indulge in Tiny Tom's. We can pick our flavour (icing sugar and cinnamon sugar are our faves), get the bag of piping hot mini doughnuts, shake for even topping distribution and enjoy.
-
Beach Boys Food Truck
Your little surfer dudes will love the chill vibe of this ocean-inspired mobile BBQ. Bacon burgers and fries are great after a long bike ride, and provide enough energy to get you home again.
-
Buster's Sea Cove Food Truck
Got a kid who loves the sweetness of seafood? Lucky you—you get to go to Buster's Sea Cove and indulge in lobster rolls and shrimp tacos. It will be like spending your lunch hour in Cape Cod as you indulge in the briny goodness of these treats. Finish with some key lime pie to really channel that Atlantic feeling.
