There is an app for that, no really there is a food truck app for Vancouver. Vancouver supports one of the best food truck scenes in all of Canada and it is not hard to see why they are so popular when you check out their menus. With crowds that are down the street and around the corner, be sure to get in line early for these nine spots.
9. The Juice Truck

If the huge pink truck wondering around the streets of Vancouver does not catch your attention, then the line up probably will. Usually found at the corner of Water and Abbott st. in Gastown, Vancouver’s top rated juice bar specializes in cold pressed juices and smoothies as well as selection of healthy lunches prepared in house.
8. DougieDog

Getting their start on the popular startup show Dragon’s Den, DougieDog cemented their name in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most expensive hot dog, a gourmet foot long worth over $100, but do not worry it has lobster and kobe beef infused with 100 year old Louis XIII cognac – so it is well worth it. With more affordable options available there is always something for everyone.
7. Roaming Dragon

Available for catering events as well as roaming the Vancity downtown, the award winning Pan-Asian mobile restaurant offers delicious options from Japanese tuna Tataki Sammy to Malaysian Spicy “Debil” Chicken Taco.

Be sure to find them Monday to Friday between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm – but get there early because food like this does not last long.

A menu that is based on California-Baja culture with some international influence, Tacofino takes great pride in the preparation of their food. Using a concept they dubbed as fast “slow” food they make everything from scratch so that they maintain quality and freshness with an organic and nutritional conscience. It’s a great experience for Vancouverites looking for tacos!
3. Kaboom Box

Maybe the most colourful truck in town, the graffiti clad mobile restaurant brings a Filipino infusion to the streets of Vancouver. One Facebook review pegs Fliptop as, “The BEST Filipino food in all of the lower mainland, bar none.” This is hard to argue with considering there are 118 more reviews just like it.
1. Yolk’s Breakfast

The “go to” spot for a 5 star breakfast, Yolk’s makes the first meal of the day a culinary work of art. Using free range eggs, fresh Okanagan Valley ingredients and organic gluten-free breads to put together combinations of breakfast items that are absolutely astounding. Just imagine, a food truck that uses real hollandaise sauce; definitely worth the wait for one of the best food trucks in Vancouver.
We had to stop the list somewhere, so tells us which ones we missed.
