Food Trucks! the latest and greatest

I m just going to ease our way into the world of food trucks.  It can be a bit overwhelming.  So many choices.... So many types of foods...  Let's just start with where we can find the food trucks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 My favorite place to go for food trucks is right next to MTV and the Water Gardens at Pennsylvania Ave and 26th St.  in Santa Monica.   Mon -Fri every week there is at least 5-7 different trucks in a row from 11:30am-3:00pm.  I like to take a walk by all the trucks to see their menus and take in all the different smells in the air before I choose.  From sushi to Mexican to BBQ, they have it all.  Since the trucks change everyday you never know what you will find.  If you find a truck you like you can usually follow them on facebook or twitter to see where they will be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Don't be scared to eat at these trucks, they have came a long way since the "Roach Coaches" we used to refer to.  Having these trucks around is exciting for foodies! A lot of the trucks have better menus and cooks than most restaurants do.  Some trucks are more expensive but the quality of food is high.
Some of the regulars are

  • **** Baby's Badass Burger  Great Burger, juicy, excellent bun!  $$ 
  • ** Barbie's Q BBQ  Pulled pork, chicken and beef on a baguette Wasn't my favorite but used the leftover for a kick ass hash the next morning  $$  
  • *** Calbi Korean BBQ Fusion bbq, fresh ingredients, Tacos, burritos, etc fish or meat $$ 
  • **** Dog Town Dogs  hot dog anyway you want it. tons of topping options  $$ 
  • **** Jody Maroni's Mobile Kingdom All kinds of sausage and hot dogs, Louisiana red hot, Italian, chicken, kobe beef and more.  served on an amazing onion roll  $$ 
  • ** South Philly Experience Cheese steaks, chicken steaks fries  with choice of cheese (American, Provolone or CHEESE WIZ) the steak was overly seasoned for me but everyone else seems to love it $$
  •  ****Great Balls on Tires  my GF's favorite, meatballs any way you can imagine!
