Pin Grand Rapids Food Trucks
Los Pinches Taco Truck
Everyone knows that food truck tacos are the BEST tacos! This Grand Rapids eatery is no exception. You will find items on the menu like small and large quesadillas, traditional or american style tacos, and EVEN some delicious dessert items featuring Nutella and Strawberries. The google reviews and their stomach-grabbing menu both affirm – you NEED to visit this food truck and try one for yourself.
Lost Art Burger
Serving up delicious and unique patties in the Lost Art Brewhouse parking lot, you won’t want your tastebuds to miss out on this. January’s burger of the month is unique in that its, well, not a burger? The new SMASHBURGER CRUNCHWRAP features their famous Sobie Meats beef patty, grilled onions, American cheese, Nacho cheese, lettuce, tostada shell, house-made FRESH pico de gallo, and house-made cilantro lime sauce. On top of this, Lost Art also has a philanthropic side – as they just gave away free burgers for a year to one lucky customer for 2024! Personally, I find crunchwraps of all kinds to be therapeutic, so I WILL have to go to this delectable food truck that made our top ten spots.
Porkfat Slims
Will the real pork-slim please stand up? Just kidding – however, Porkfat Slims DOES have you covered with their classic but deliciously unique barbeque food. Their mission, according to them, is to raise the bar on what good barbeque is supposed to taste like. With a mission like that, how could they disappoint? Their menu features classic BBQ items like BLANK as well as specialty items like BLANK. Every fan of barbeque needs to try this food truck stop! One of our fave Grand Rapids food trucks in the area!
Pizza Parliament
Open since 2016, this delicious pizza truck will stop you in your tracks! Not only because of the food, but also because of the unique food items featured on the menu. For example, DELETED EMAILS is a $15 Pizza featuring Chicken, Bacon, Onion, & Ranch. Something both for your funny bone and your tastebuds! Pizza Parliament recommends you follow them on socials to find out their daily locations or visit their website, linked above!
Pressed in Time

Frites Street
Are you a super-fan of potatoes in any form like we are? If so, Frites Street NEEDS to be on your food truck tour list this year, if not right, this very MOMENT. There are 15 or more different cooking, slicing and flavoring styles on this menu. In all our time at WW, we have truly never seen this many types of potatoes – this is what one might describe as ‘potato heaven’. You’ve probably never wanted a meal entirely made out of french fries – until now. You absolutely MUST go, and please bring us some, too.
Olly’s Donuts
Don’t think we forgot those of you with a sweet tooth – we have one here too! Olly’s Donuts are a great way to satisfy that craving – just wait until you see all the different toppings and flavors they have for all the donut dishes! Freshness is important to Olly’s, so these mini donuts are made and served fresh on site. Some toppings you could get include: maple bacon, salted caramel, smores, cookies & cream and more. Maybe this would be a good stop to take right after the potato stop of the tour. Either way, any day, you are absolutely not going to regret putting this delicious donut destination on your Grand Rapids food truck list this year.
Crepes by the Lake
If you’re looking for something sweet, but maybe a little more European-influenced – look no further than Crepes by the Lake. They create Parisian-inspired fresh, sweet, and savory crepes for consumers who love a variety of flavors and rich textures that melt in your mouth. They have a unique twist on the traditional crepe that will make any mouth water! A crepe would also go very nicely with any of the amazing coffee shops we’ve listed here before, so maybe grab coffee with a friend before heading over to indulge in this not-guilty pleasure.
The Corner Twist
Did you think we would forget such a classic as the food truck pretzel? Absolutely not! The Corner Twist should be the next place on your list if you don’t need a full meal, but maybe a nice warm and delicious pick-me-up while out on break from work or on a walk with a friend. The pretzels come in a variety of flavors and have both sweet and savory dips for you to choose from. You can visit their Facebook page for a calendar to see where they are each day, or you can contact them about renting their truck for catering!
The Wandering Cow – Wanda’s Frozen Yogurt & Desserts
While the menu mainly focuses on desserts, you can also get a whole delicious meal here! With classics like shredded chicken sandwiches, pulled pork, wings, and more, you can start with a meal before going to the dessert. The frozen yogurt menu has something for everyone, featuring locally made flavors and 20 different toppings to choose from. This food truck makes some public stops, but it is also really popular for weddings and other fun events. SO make sure to check them out and enjoy some frozen dessert treats! One of our favorite Grand Rapids food trucks!
