LATimes
A new wave of mobile vendors is altering the way we look at that hallmark of Los Angeles' street cuisine, the taco truck. Broadening the offerings to be had on four wheels, these trucks demonstrate a decidedly more experimental -- and often more expensive -- culinary sensibility. These are the Nouveau Food Trucks.
An extensive list follows. Here are a few of the odder-sounding ones:
2. Asian Soul Kitchen
A fusion of Asian food and American soul food. Twitter: @itsbentobaby
18. Don Chow Tacos
Another fusion taco truck. This one lets eaters go traditional (carne asada, carnitas or chicken) or go fusion (kung pao chicken, Chinese barbecued pork, soy-ginger tofu or shrimp) with tacos, burritos or tortas. ($2 to $6). Twitter: @DonChowTacos
20. Fishlips Sushi Truck
This roving sushi truck serves spicy tuna rolls, California rolls and crunchy rolls plus tamari sushi. ($2.50 to $9) Twitter: @Fishlips_Sushi
21. Flying Pig truck
Specializing in high-end, pork-themed street food with a mix of Asian and French flavors. Owned and run by classically trained chefs Joe Kim and James Seitz, they hope to use the truck as a testing ground for their upcoming restaurant Butalanai. Twitter: @FlyingPigTruck
31. India Jones Chow Truck
This gourmet Indian food truck cruises the streets of West L.A. serving parathas, curries, samosa spring rolls, bhaji, aloo tikki and lamb, fish, chicken, shrimp and paneer frankies devised by chef Sumant Pardal. Twitter: @IndiaJonesCT
34. Komodo
Komodo specializes in uncommon burritos: the Cobb salad burrito, a cheeseburger burrito, a BBQ burrito and, of course, their take on the Asian fusion burrito. Twitter: @komodofood
You just know that one's called 'the Dragon Wagon'. Heh.
35. LA FuXion
Pronounced "LA Fusion," this truck features awkwardly-spelled Asian/Latin eats such as "xogalbi" tacos (Korean-style marinated beef topped with a South American-style green sauce); "xofu" tacos (grilled tofu in ginger and garlic sauce; $2); and "xuna" tacos (tuna sashimi topped with a Japanese-style sauce on tostada; $3). Twitter: @LA_FuXion
Many more. Enjoy.
