Pescado Review Pescado is a food truck that prepares American and Mexican-style seafood dishes such as fish tacos and fried shrimp. But, landlubbers and vegetarians can delight in the menu as well as there are options for everyone’s differing palates. Since 2019, this family-owned operation has built up a cult
Pop’s Smoke Shed here in Key West is a food Truck that has made some fame with their smoked BBQ. Originally opened in Big Pine Key by mile marker 31 the father and son team Danny and Hunter were inspired by their “Pop” and decided to share the culinary skills
Today, we decided to try something new for lunch. We felt like Mexican food, so we drove into Key West to try out Tongo’s food truck which has been located at the Pawn Shop on Roosevelt Blvd for awhile now. Parking was no problem. We walked up to the window
The Seaside Cafe is located on the grounds of the Southernmost House. This historic building has been converted from a one bedroom mansion to a gorgeous guest house and a free museum. The street beside the mansion has been turned into a park of sorts, where people can mill around
A few nights ago, my husband and I attended an event at One Love Food Truck. Well, I was excited to take him there because he had never eaten at One Love before. As you all know, I have and I really enjoyed it. Now, he is a convert too!
Today, food trucks are a huge part of the restaurant industry. And, Key West is no different. Lately, it seems that every time I turn around there is another food truck serving up food on our island. This morning, my husband had to bring a boat over to be serviced
My friend Paulette had an extended lunch break today, so we decided to order lunch from the new Cow Key Food Truck. I couldn’t believe that the phone was answered almost immediately and the person that answered was super friendly. We were told that our order would be ready in
Deluna’s has been around for many years, although not always in food truck form. It used to be housed in a now dilapidated building just around the corner from its current location in Boyd’s Campground on Stock Island. Deluna’s has some outdoor seating available and they offer pick up service
Often parked under the shade of swaying palms or in an unused part of commercial property the vibrant food truck is a feast for the eyes as much as the palate. The vehicle isn’t always a truck and often a towed trailer loaded with kitchen tools and coolers. Many have colorful exteriors splashed with tropical artwork and bold lettering that hints at the mouthwatering dishes served inside. From sizzling street tacos and juicy burgers to fresh seafood and tangy island-style bowls, the aroma wafting through the air draws a steady crowd of locals and tourists alike. Music plays softly from a speaker, and a chalkboard menu lists daily specials in bright, playful handwriting. Friendly staff serve up generous portions with a smile, making Key West food trucks a must-visit stop for anyone craving bold flavors and laid-back vibes.
Most food trucks do not have servers or indoor dining. The food cooked there is typically that of the ideas of the owner or the chef working the truck. Food trucks have become a trendy dining idea for Key West for something different. A different vibe or atmosphere. Don’t be misled. Folks think that food trucks may be a way to save money on dining here in Key West but not so. It’s been my experience that the dishes I have ordered are as much and in some cases more expensive than the Key West Restaurant counter parts.
The history of food trucks dates back to the late 1800s, when chuck wagons served hearty meals to cowboys and cattlemen on the American frontier. In the early 20th century, lunch wagons and mobile canteens became popular in cities, especially near factories and construction sites, offering quick, affordable meals to workers. By the 1950s, ice cream trucks and hot dog carts were a familiar sight in urban neighborhoods. The modern gourmet food truck revolution began in the late 2000s, driven by a mix of culinary creativity, social media marketing, and economic shifts. Today, food trucks are a thriving part of the culinary landscape, serving everything from ethnic street food to gourmet cuisine in cities and towns across the globe.
