5 Best Food Trucks in Boston

Boston offers an abundance of dining options, from fine Italian cuisine to classic American fare. But you don’t always have time to settle in for one of these leisurely options when you’re on the go. Fortunately, Boston has an answer for that, too. The local food truck scene is thriving in and around Boston, serving up a wide variety of innovative dishes served straight from the window of mobile kitchens. Whether you’re looking for a juicy burger, steaming dumpling, or sweet pastry treat, you can find what you’re after in the city’s wheeled eateries. Read below as our team at Nucar Nissan of Norwood shares our top suggestions.

Bon Me

Bon Me serves tasty Asian-inspired fare via both its food trucks and its brick-and-mortar locations. Bon Me has two wildly popular trucks you can find around Boston. A great go-to for first-time diners is the aptly named Food Truck Fave, a rice bowl featuring miso-braised pulled pork, pickled carrots and daikon, bok choy, scallions, and crispy shallots in a spicy peanut sauce. Another classic pick is The Namesake, a Vietnamese sandwich piled high with miso-braised pulled pork, pork pate, red onion, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, and spicy mayo.

You can also build your own noodle salad, rice bowl, or salad with your choice of protein and sauce. Pick from paprika-roasted tofu, gochujang chicken, salt and pepper chicken, and miso pork, then drizzle your creation with miso lime, soy drizzle, toasted sesame, spicy peanut, or Vietnamese vinaigrette. Pack on extra flavor with add-ons such as bok choy, kimchi, a hard-boiled egg, scallion jam, pickled jalapenos, or peanuts. Wash it all down with a spicy ginger lemonade, Thai basil lemonade, or Vietnamese iced coffee.

The Chicken & Rice Guys

The Chicken & Rice Guys food truck regularly makes the rounds of Boston and the surrounding areas, including Cambridge, Lexington, Waltham, and Burlington. As the name suggests, this truck heavily focuses on chicken and rice. The hand-rubbed seasoned halal chicken is grilled to perfection, making it a must-taste for any poultry lover. While this is the truck’s most famous feature, you can swap your chicken for lamb or tofu.

The classic rice plate features a pita, salad, rice, and your protein of choice. It also comes with white, BBQ, and hot sauce, so you can dip and drizzle to your heart’s delight. If you’re not down for the rice, you can also order the salad plate, which features a cucumber and tomato blend, lettuce, and your protein of choice. You’ll also get white, BBQ, and hot sauce with this meal.

Moyzilla

If you like dumplings, you’ll love Moyzilla, a food truck specializing in the perfect preparations for this mouthwatering Asian street food. The classic pork dumpling is a timeless favorite, featuring pork and napa cabbage in a hand-folded dumpling. Or you can opt for the veggie dumplings filled with corn, edamame, carrot, napa cabbage, quinoa, tofu, and wood ear mushroom. Moyzilla also serves Japanese boneless chicken bites twice fried in pineapple teriyaki and topped with sriracha aioli and scallions.

Each meal box comes with garlic noodles or scallion fried rice and an Asian salad. You can add spring rolls to fill out your feast. Complete your meal with mango soda, Thai iced tea, mango oolong iced tea, or raspberry lime rickey for an extra pop of flavor.

Papi’s Stuffed Sopapillas

Sopapillas are a Spanish delight made by frying pieces of dough. The dough puffs up quickly, creating a small pocket in the middle. Though these sweet pastry squares are traditionally a dessert, this hollow center gave way to an inspiring variation on the dish at this food truck. Papi’s Stuffed Sopapillas come packed with savory fillings. With a menu that rotates daily, you can choose from an abundance of different options.

Papi’s Rachel is a signature option, with Brooklyn-style pastrami, coleslaw, muenster cheese, and homemade Papi sauce. The Huevos Sopapillas features scrambled eggs, bacon, muenster cheese, avocado, and mango salsa for a fresh flavor that’ll brighten any day. If you like it spicy, try the pork al pastor, which comes filled with pineapple and chipotle-marinated pork, hatch green chili aioli slaw, and pineapple pico, finished with a squeeze of lime juice.

If you’re looking for something sweet, you can get a more traditional take on the sopapilla at Papi’s. The Original is smothered in honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Or choose the Doughnut Sopapillas dunked in homemade glazes, such as vanilla and key lime pie, for a finger-licking treat. You can also get a dessert sopapilla stuffed with Nutella, banana, and whipped cream, or chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallow fluff.

Boston’s Baddest Burger/Maine-ly Lobstah

Boston’s Baddest Burger lives up to its name, offering a juicy 12-ounce all-natural grass-fed burger on an organic toasted brioche. You can dress this bad burger up with your choice of cheese, three toppings, and three sauces. The Hub is a smaller version of the same burger. If you’re not in the mood for beef, this food truck can still satisfy your hunger with sandwich options, such as thin-sliced brisket, baked chicken breast, hot pastrami, ham, roast beef, and homemade tuna salad. Boston’s Baddest Burger also serves hearty hot dogs.

The Main-ly Lobstah side of the truck delivers an abundance of seafood, including lobster rolls three ways. Get your lobster roll traditional, opt for Connecticut-style dipped in warm butter, or try the Asian fusion lobster roll flavored with sriracha sauce, ponzu sauce, and fresh basil. If you’re looking for a different type of seafood, you’ll also find crab rolls, lobster mac and cheese, fried scallops, fried clams, fish and chips, lobster bisque, and haddock filet sandwiches. Round out your meal with fries, chips, or clam chowder.
