Santa Ana: Dos Chinos

Leave a comment
Dos Chinos tweeted they were going to be on 3rd Avenue and Broadway for lunch. That location was just a few blocks from my office.  I rounded up some coworkers and went.  Unfortunately they were running late. Instead of showing up at 11:30, the truck didn’t arrive until noon. Plus the food was cooked to order, so we did not get our food until 12:20.  Our hour lunch ended up being 2 hours! YIKES!
The Garden Grove taco: BBQ Rib, korean style
The taco was missing some… kick.

Vietnamese Pork bellies over rice and fries.
This lunch special was only $7 and I was FULL!

Vancouver: JapaDog

Leave a comment

While on summer vacation, we stopped at JapaDog, a cart located in downtown Vancouver.  While its not quite a food truck, it definitely is a creative way to make a hot dog taste yummy! 

An original JapaDog: The Terimayo with seaweed shavings, teri sauce, mayo
Friendly staff, braving the elements to create a tasty dog!
When in Vancouver, you got to try one!
Multiple locations to serve you (all but 1 are food carts)

Anaheim Farmer’s Market: The Lime Truck

Leave a comment

The Lime Truck made a special appearance at the Farmer’s Market.  The first two times I had LT, I had the ceviche which was so delish!  I was not impressed with the two grilled items, which made me sad.  I guess I need to stick with the fresh items, or seafood items. I heard the fried chicken is delish, so that’s a must try for me.

Pulled pork with smoked gouda cheese panini
A little dry, and a bread was a bit greasy.

Tofu & Kimchi taco (yes its tofu, not potatoes)
Not impressed

Anaheim Farmer’s Market: Crepes Bonaparte

I went to the Farmer’s Market to get food from the Lime Truck, but my friend wanted me to pick up a Le Classique: Banana, Strawberry, Nutella with Whipped Creme crepe for him.  I did not take a picture of his crepe as it was hot out, and it was melting!!

Find the Crepes Bonaparte truck at the Anaheim Farmers Market every Thursday!

OC DinDinAGoGo: White Rabbit & LomoArigato

Leave a comment

On September 1, 2010, six trucks were at the K1 Racing Speedway for dinner, and nicknamed the event “Din Din A Go Go”. 

Piaggio on Wheels, Dos Chinos, Crepes Bonaparte, Tropical Shave Ice, White Rabbit, and LomoArigato were there.  (Are the names sounding familar now?)  The event was from 5:30-9 pm, and Kogi BBQ pulled up at the end of the parking lot, drawing just a little attention.

It was on this day that I decided to blog about my truck findings, so I only took one picture… the rare OC appearance by White Rabbit, a Filipino-fusion truck and LomoArigato’s menu. 

My hubby and friend are first in line at White Rabbit

Top 3 entrees: $7.00

Fullerton: Tropical Shave Ice

After Kogi, we went to downtown Fullerton to find the Tropical Shave Ice truck. They were officially closed (they had to get to Irvine) but were nice and let us place our 2 orders!

Still a line for Kogi (view from my car)
After Foodie Fest, I thought about the one who started it all: Kogi BBQ.  I found out they were going to be in Fullerton on August 31, so after work we went searching for dinner.

Tasty as always

OC Foodie Fest: Slice Truck

A rare OC appearance by the Slice Truck, who hangs out a USC.
A slice of cheese was $3 and it took up the paper plate. It was a thin crust, hand tossed pizza, and was very delish!  I would drive to USC for a slice!!
