TRUCK NOTES
While many of these trucks take credit/debit cards, assume nothing and always show up with cash.
Always check a truck's website, Twitter account, or call to see which area they're in that day, as some are open only on weekends or for special events. With a mobile business, everything is subject to change.
Some of these businesses also offer catering.
Be patient; waiting for your food is half the fun.
