Food truck rundown
Baton Rouge’s food truck scene has changed mightily since the four-wheeled restaurants first started rolling out, and it’s time to take another look at the varied mobile eateries and see what they have to offer.
A Coffee Truck: Serving up hot cups of joe in various flavors—including a special king cake flavor for the Mardi Gras season—this local beanery is the equal of any brick-and-mortar café. Follow them: @ACoffeeTruck
Cuban Connection: Hot-pressed Cuban sandwiches, black bean sopa, breakfast pastries and black Cuban coffee—what else do you need to hear to know this truck belongs on your must-try list? Follow them: @CubanConnectBR, Facebook, thecubanconnectionbr.com

Curbside: Serving up burgers of all sorts, topped with homemade pickles and condiments, and sides of house-made fries. A sausage-and-links truck from the same team is coming soon. Follow them: @curbsidetruck, weeatthestreet.com
Fresh Junkie: The emphasis aboard this truck is on salads and wraps stuffed with fresh veggies and other ingredients so good you’ll forget they’re good for you. Follow them: @freshjunkie, Facebook, freshjunkie.com
Geaux-Yo: This frozen yogurt truck has stopped rolling for the winter, but start following them and you’ll be the first to know when they restart their engine in spring. Follow them: @geauxyo
Ignatius Reilly’s: Gourmet Cajun food and fresh-made pasta served out of a slick Gulf Stream trailer, this truck nails sophisticated looks and flavor. Follow them: @ignatiusreillys, Facebook, ignatiusreillys.com
Latte e Miele: This truck doles out delectable gelato—and is still rolling while the weather is good. Follow them: @leMGelato, Facebook
Taco de Paco: This big orange truck is one of the oldest of the fleet, still rolling and slinging signature tacos to eager crowds of devotees. There’s a reason they’ve stuck around so long—they’re Taco de-Licious! Follow them: @TacodePaco, Facebook, tacodepaco.com
Ninja Snowballs: The first to take advantage of the social media trend, the sno-ball stand is a favorite in the summer months. Keep an eye on their pages to see when they start rolling again. Follow them: @ninjasnowballs, Facebook
