The summer of 2015 has brought a great addition to Minnesota's food truck scene - Funfare Global…read moreStreet Eats. As the name suggests, Funfare's menu has a variety of foods representing different geographic cuisines including a Cuban Sandwich, Baja Fish Tacos, and a Shrimp Po'Boy Sandwich. They also have a featured item of the day such as Mandarin Shrimp Kabobs (which were awesome). The Cuban is a solid sandwich. The fish tacos are awesome; my girls love to get them. For me the star of the show is the Shrimp Po'Boy. A lemon aioli, fresh greens and tomato top the shrimp on a fresh sandwich roll. With a nice bread-to-filling ratio it leaves me satisfied but not stuffed. I love, love, love this sandwich. What makes this truck stand out beyond the great food is what I love about all my favorite trucks and restaurants, the crew running it. Tiffany, Sherwin, and Sean are really good people who are genuinely happy you have decided to come to their truck to eat. Give them a try and enjoy.

It is simple Mexican style food, where you can build your own. Fajitas, burritos, bowl or tacos. Vegetarian options are front and center, not an after thought. I enjoyed a bowl with soy chorizo and black beans over rice with guacamole and all the fixings. Tasty and just what I was looking for. I enjoyed them over at Steel Toe brewery but hope To see them at more locations!

Build your own Mexican food - 4 stars…read more Parrillas Express offers a variety of standard Mexican food options like burritos, tacos, fajitas, etc. They're all "build your own" style where you choose all of your own ingredients and toppings. They have sides too. No desserts. I grabbed a burrito and a side of corn chips & salsa with roja style (tomato) salsa. I particularly liked the salsa, it had the perfect amount of heat & flavor. They have verde style (tomatillo) salsa too. This food trailer is the perfect addition to a brewery or for grabbing a quick lunch or dinner. Thumbs up! -Maxx

Tacos are just better from a truck. Period. Apparently, tacos are on trend in 2017 to hit fancy…read morehipster restaurant status, but I feel like they're best enjoyed in a more casual setting. The bright green truck and the cute cartoon mascot welcomes you to the awesome flavors that are waiting for you inside. Each Taco is only $2 and they're pretty hefty compared to other taquerias that I've been to. My favorites: CARNITAS- You HAVE to get at least one of these if you eat pork! The meat is super tender with just the right amount of spice! Asada- These are great to fill you up if you need a cheap meal. The beef is a bit dry for my taste, but a squeeze of lime usually helps. Other Items: Lengua- This is beef Tongue if your Spanish isn't the best! Haha Trust me, I know it may sound weird but this taco is great! Not as much flavor as the Asada or Carnitas, but I think the texture makes this taco stand out. It is somehow extra chewy AND tender at the same time. Cabeza- This is pork cheek/head and is probably my least favorite that I've tried just because the texture was a bit too cartilage-y for my liking. They also have Tortas, Enchiladas, and Cheeseburgers w/ fries (!!!) what else could you want??

By far my favorite food truck, this gem serves up authentic Mexican food (and a little…read moreAmerican-style for the gringos). They can usually be found somewhere on University Ave in St. Paul during the work week, though the location has varied lately. Last week I saw them by Bally's at University and Dunlap, in front of Sun Foods on University just east of Dale, and on University between Victoria and Lexington. The lady who owns the truck told me that they are planning on moving west of 280 in the near future, but they encourage calling ahead to find out where they are and to place an order for pickup. Now, for the best part - the food. The delicious, amazing food. Three styles of tacos (soft shell, Deep-fried American-style, and Border/Mexican style), burritos, tamales, quesadillas, three meats - choose from ground beef, chicken, or pork - and all available with rice and/or beans. The Border tacos are my absolute favorite. Two corn tortillas with meat, onion, and cilantro, and a lime to squeeze over the top. There is hot (red) sauce, or mild (green) sauce and, although I prefer the spicer hot sauce, the verde sauce goes really well with these tacos. I have recently started ordering the carnitas (pork), and it is outstanding - roasted, shredded, and perfectly seasoned. The food is a little more expensive than Taco Bell or Taco John's, but there is absolutely no comparison - this is real, authentic, homemade Mexican food, with real meat and fresh toppings, all made to order. I think I could eat these tacos everyday and never look at another fast-food taco again.

Everything except the chicken in my pollo tacos was really good. The sauce was awesome, toppings crisp and crunchy, and the salsas hot and delish. The chicken was an oddly plain shredded chicken. There was no flavor to it so as long as you are it with the rest of the taco you were good to go. I regretted not getting the pork tacos, which looked a little more flavorful in my coworkers basket. Other than that I enjoyed this place and felt it was a good value (2 tacos plus chips/salsa) for $9!

Parked in a small lot on Lake Street, it's bright green color is hard to miss. No frills here so don't expect anywhere to sit, bathrooms, or any over the top customer service. This is street food truck dining at its best. Walk up, order and get the hell out to make room for the next person in line. There are only about 8 things on the menu (such as Tortas, street Tacos, Burritos, etc.) with several different choices of fillings. I do like that there are several fillings that are not commonly found such as Cabeza, Lengua, Longaniza and Tripe. My work week always improves when I can get some head, tongue, tube steak, or guts in my lunch! Walking up to the side of the truck, placing my order and then receiving it out the side window pass-through kind of feels like using a clandestine vending machine that distributes offal. I always seem to get the same thing, which is a burrito, because they are really tasty. They aren't the cheapest in town ($8.00) but they are huge and filling and Taco Bell this is not. I think the reason I really like this place is their addictively hot green salsa. It reeks of jalapeño and avocado and will really make your taste buds pay attention. They take cash or cards and there aren't any seats so plan on eating in your car or taking it somewhere else. I'm not a fan of soda but if you are, they have several Mexican ones including Mexican Coca Cola on offer. This operation would never survive in white-bread suburbia but it is a great example to me of how great and diverse the food scene is in the urban city.

At first glance, the prices seem steep, but the size of the burrito makes up for that. I ended up getting the California burrito, which was good, albeit very salty (and I usually LOVE salt). The best part of it was the tots stuffed inside. I found myself digging them out instead of eating the burrito as a whole. My husband got the Boomtown Breakfast burrito and agreed his was very salty as well. He also complained that there was way too much cheese. I gave it four stars since the burritos were overall good, despite personal taste. I think the next time we visit it will be for the loaded tots.
