Guide to Orlando Food Trucks Part 3
Monsta Lobsta
Monsta Lobsta creates many extraordinary items - anything from lobster rolls to blue crab quesadillas. My first experience with lobster rolls actually came from this lovely establishment! It was buttery and fresh and absolutely perfect! They also offer clam chowder, lobster bisque, and blue crab rolls.

Over Rice
Over Rice offers Hawaiian and Filipino favorites such as Pork Adobo and Huli Huli Chicken. However, my favorite is their Kalua Pork. It’s unbelievably tender and bursting with flavor! Their combination plate is definitely the way to go. They give you the option of either one or two meats and each plate comes with Filipino noodles and a seriously yummy eggroll. You will not be disappointed!
Peak Season Pops
Peak Season Pops offers seasonal, gourmet ice pops which are completely delightful on a humid Florida evening. All are made in small batches using only peak season ingredients. They offer a huge variety of flavors and flavor combinations. The Peach Raspberry Swirl pop was remarkable! A wonderful balance of tart and sweetness. Other standout flavors include the Strawberry Basil and the Mango Tango! Yumm!

Pop Craft Pops
Pop Craft creates gourmet handcrafted popsicles. They offer a very wide variety of flavors, including non-dairy alternatives. My favorite is the Strawberry Lemon which is made to taste like Strawberry Lemonade. Since one is never enough, I’m also partial to the Tangerine Dream. Pop Craft also offers Mexican paletas or what some call Mexican fruit bars. These are unique since they are sweetened with very ripe fresh fruits instead of sugar and corn syrup. So many options, all so delicious!

Shred-A-Bowls
Shred-A-Bowls offers bread cones called the "The Cyclone" & bread buckets called the "The Bucket" stuffed with shredded garlic Italian beef, mojo Spanish pork, Cajun beer can chicken, braised beef short ribs, or chili. Their Cyclones & Buckets are made out of their secret bread dough recipe, hand rolled around custom molds. Each are drizzled with their signature sauce, handmade creamy coleslaw or spicy salsa. My favorite is the Italian beef in The Cyclone. It was super convenient and seasoned amazingly! I was able to walk around all while enjoying this meaty marvel!
Soup to Nuts
Soup to Nuts offers amazing grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with anything from pulled pork and mac n cheese to blueberries and brie! Their buffalo chicken grilled cheese is one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten, and I've had some pretty awesome sandwiches in my day. They also serve some pretty yummy soups too! Definitely a stand-out in the Orlando food truck scene!
SwedeDISH
SwedeDISH is Orlando's only Swedish food truck serving traditional Swedish fare. They, of course, offer homemade Swedish meatballs and homemade mashed potatoes with a cream sauce and lingonberry jam. Another popular item is the Viking Dog - a Swedish thin bread wrap stuffed with an all-beef hotdog, Swedish spices and homemade mashed potatoes. The Potato Cupcake is one of my faves consisting of shredded potatoes, onions and white sharp cheddar cheese. Explore and let your taste buds soar!

Tastebuds Catering
Tastebuds' specialty is American food with a Latin flare. Their ropa vieja tostones are outstanding - flavorful and delightfully crisp. Their chicken empanada is out of this world fantastic and their Venezuelan arepas are perfect! Everything from this truck is terrific!

The Big Cheese
The Big Cheese offers many variations of grilled cheese sandwiches, all of which are extremely cheesy and delicious. I’m partial to one of their signature sandwiches, their namesake - The Big Cheese. It includes not four, but FIVE different cheeses. They also allow you to create your own cheesy masterpieces. You’re able to select your favorite cheese and add-ons such as bacon and tomatoes. And of course they offer sides including mac-n-cheese because when it comes to this truck, there’s never too much cheese!
Tree House Truck
The Treehouse Truck is famous for their Luther Burger – A classic bacon cheeseburger in between two Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts! Ummm…yes please!! Another one of my favorites is their Mamma’s PBJ. A deep fried peanut butter, jelly, banana and Nutella sandwich! Oh, and you can’t forget their Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak! Covered in onions and Treehouse’s own buffalo sauce and blue cheese all served on an amoroso roll. Get a heaping pile of their crispy fries and you are set! They usually offer some scrumptious deep fried Oreo’s also.
