Food trucks have long been loved around the world, with some of the longest-running trucks in cities like London, Oxford, and Cambridge in the UK. Today, this global phenomenon has spread across the United States.

Not surprisingly, our area is on the cutting edge of this trend in the United States. Our REALTORS® agree--there's nothing like a local Richmond food truck for a scrumptious lunch.  

These trucks, which roam our streets, show up just in time for lunch, a festival or pre-game tailgating party to quiet the cravings of hungry bystanders with a cornucopia of fare from paninis and tacos to Asian fusion and funnel cakes.  

Here is our list of six favorite food trucks to visit.  While it is certainly not definitive,  it is a great "sampler" of where to find some of the best food trucks in our area. 

Note: Most food trucks in Richmond do not have fixed locations, although there are some areas of town that are more popular than others. To get the latest information on where to find your favorite truck, check out its website or visit Food Trucks In, which gives you live truck status.

1. Bikini Panini 
   Launched back in 2017, Bikini Panini has hot, pressed sandwiches inspired by the cuisine of the Mediterranean and Cote d'Azur. You may also have seen it around many Richmond events since it operates a popular catering service. The Bikini Cubano is the classic that everyone adores: You can pair it with soup of the day, paella, or even a double-decker pizza.
2. Boka Tako Truck
   Boka Tako Truck offers the classic taco truck experience. Associated with Boka Fusion Tacos, a popular spot for "Grill & Growlers," it means Taco Tuesday can be any day of the week here in Richmond. Premium tacos include such flavors as grilled fish, braised beef brisket, and pork belly. Burritos, bowls, and a number of salads are also available.
3. Cheezilla Food Truck
   Cheezilla Food Truck is dedicated to the most comfortable comfort food of them all: The grilled cheese. You can have the classic grilled cheese of your childhood or dress it up for a more robust winter meal with a cup of hot soup. All soups, sauces, and dressings are handcrafted in small batches, and the sandwiches use quality meat and fresh produce
4. Christopher's RunAway Gourmay
   Christopher's RunAway Gourmay has one of the longest histories in Richmond's food truck world: It dates all the way back to 1985. It's one of the best food trucks when you want fresh, hot pasta accompanied by salads made with a chef's flair. If you find something you simply can't do without, you can even buy many of the dishes by the pound. Yum!
5. Curbside Creations
   Who's in the mood for some Cajun? If the answer is you, you're in luck! Curbside Creations offers your choice of Cajun seafood and American comfort food all in one place. Hankering for a po'boy? You should try the delicious fried gator po'boy – or the more traditional fried oyster, catfish, or shrimp. Curbside Creations keeps a convenient calendar of future locations on its website.
6. Curry in a Hurry
   A comfort classic of both Indian and British cuisine, you'll never see curry the same way again once you visit Curry in a Hurry. This striking Union Flag-styled food truck dishes up true restaurant-style curry, tikka masala, vindaloo, and "Mum's Basmati Rice" among many others. Those who order in advance can enjoy the beef patties based on an 80-year old family recipe.
