Nacho Mama’s satisfies the late-night crowds

If you’ve got a late-night craving that only a food truck can satisfy, Nacho Mama’s is the food truck to follow. Owner Lars Carlsen and his staff focus on the nighttime crowds around Tigerland bars in the wee hours—usually from 10 p.m. to around 3 a.m.—pulling in hungry students with promises of delicious street food. Their specialty is the eponymous nachos, particularly the pulled pork variety, which has proved such a hit with hungry crowds that “Home of the Pulled Pork Nachos” is painted on the side of their truck. Other toppings include boudin, barbecued chicken and chili cheese, and the menu—still “being tinkered with,” says Carlsen—currently includes poboys and wraps as well. If you’re not a night owl, though, don’t worry. The truck will soon be making occasional stops downtown to hit the lunch crowds.
