Just like last summer, we’re here to bring ya the most “nomworthy” mobile eats you can find in the San Diego area. (You’re welcome).
Keep in mind this is just a selection of some of the best—and if you didn’t check out our previous “Mouthwatering Motoring” feature, be sure to!
1. Cucina Caprese

Serving: San Diego and the surrounding area
Phone: (970) 631-3204
Traditional Italian culinary methods, including wood-fired oven cooking, give Cucina Caprese a leg up over the food truck competition. Not only is there a blend of local and organic ingredients, but they go the extra mile (literally) and import extra virgin olive oil and cheese straight from Italy. So, yeah… expect your food to be absolutely dope.
2. Mariscos German

Serving: 4724 Federal Blvd and surrounding areas
Phone: (619) 540-7822
Drool-worthy fish tacos and sensational shellfish and seafood. Folks describe it as a “gem,” so this truck definitely seems like the move.
3. The Go Go Truck

Serving: San Diego and the surrounding area
Phone: (619) 713-4881
Ari and Liam of “The Go Go Truck” bring extensive experience as chefs to the table—again, literally (we’re actually not trying to be punny rn, it’s just happening). Their goal to offer locally sourced and sustainable cuisine has led to some kickass lunch and inner fare, including Fried Chicken Banh Mi, steak and egg sandwiches, and more.
4. God Save the Cuisine

Phone: 760.978.0759
With ingredients sourced from local fisheries and farmers, Dave Keylock bring his culinary experience cultivated at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle to San Diego. The British dishes are authentic and include such classics as fish and chips, smoked salmon on flatbread, and The Butty—local fish, truck-made local beer batter, a brioche bun, handmade coleslaw, and tartar sauce. Yum!
5. Pierogi Truck

If you’re searching for something different, you’ve found the right truck. This restaurant/food truck is the only one in the San Diego area that offers Eastern European and Polish cuisine. Open since 2011, it offers ten different variations on the Pierogi.
6. Eat Your Heart Out

Phone: (858) 200-6798
Locally-sourced ingredients (have you noticed a trend here?) lend themselves to some kickass health-conscious and vegetarian dishes that are bolstered by the inclusion of meat options. Kimchi quesadillas, twice-baked potato bites, smoked bacon BLT’s, and Philly cheese steaks are all featured.
7. Born in Brooklyn

Serving: San Diego and the surrounding area (schedule)
Phone: (718) 710-8925
East coast flavor in its finest form is featured at Born in Brooklyn. As the name implies, you’re getting heroes, burgers, grilled cheeses, and a smattering of sensational sides ripped straight from the Big Apple where the owners’ mom, Leslie, operated an eatery in the 1980s. Oh, and this truck is known for its huge portions, so come hungry!
