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

Website

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

Phone: (619) 713-4881

Website

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

Yum!

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

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!
