Salt Lake City’s food truck scene is essentially a rolling buffet of mountain-sized flavors. Whether you’re chasing a lunch break high or need a late-night fix, the “801” has refined the art of street food.
Here is your guide to the ten best trucks currently dominating the SLC curbsides.
🍖 The Heavy Hitters
1. Rockabilly Gourmet BBQ
This isn’t just BBQ; it’s a high-octane flavor experience. Known for their “low and slow” philosophy, Rockabilly serves up ribs and pulled pork that fall apart if you even look at them funny.
- Must-Try: The BBQ Brisket—smoky, tender, and perfectly barked.
2. Fire Pizza / Artisan Flatbreads
Forget the soggy slices of yesteryear. Fire Pizza brings a literal wood-fired oven to the streets. Their 10-inch personal pies feature a crispy, charred crust that rivals any brick-and-mortar trattoria.
- Must-Try: The Pepperoni Heatwave—cupped pepperoni with a drizzle of hot honey.
3. Salt City Sandwiches
If you think a sandwich is just meat between bread, Salt City is here to correct you. Specializing in gourmet sliders and fusion sandwiches, they balance high-quality meats with creative slaws and sauces.
- Must-Try: The Pulled Pork Nachos (technically not a sandwich, but life-changing).
🌮 Street Classics & Global Flavors
4. Happy Burro Taqueria
Authenticity is the name of the game here. Happy Burro is a local legend for street-style tacos that prioritize fresh ingredients and traditional marinades.
- Must-Try: Asada Tacos with their signature creamy avocado salsa.
5. Burger Truck
No food truck list is complete without a top-tier burger. The Burger Truck uses fresh charbroiled Angus beef and swaps the standard brioche for artisanal Tuscan buns.
- Must-Try: The Portabella Burger or their spicy Jalapeno Burger.
6. Enchilada Tex-Mex
Bringing the bold, cheesy comfort of Tex-Mex to the valley, this truck specializes in—you guessed it—enchiladas. They offer a variety of sauces, from tangy Verde to rich, chocolatey Mole.
- Must-Try: Enchiladas Rojas filled with Tinga de Pollo.
7. Ragin Cajun
Transport your taste buds to the Bayou. Ragin Cajun delivers the spice and soul of Louisiana, serving up classics that are hard to find elsewhere in the desert.
- Must-Try: The Gumbo or a loaded Po’ Boy.
🍋 Sips & Sweets
8. Sun-Kissed Lemonade
The ultimate palate cleanser. These aren’t your average fairground lemonades; they are small-batch, pressed-to-order, and infused with real fruit and herbs.
- Must-Try: Strawberry-Basil Lemonade—it’s “fresh-squeezed sunshine” in a cup.
9. Huckleberry Sweets & Treats
Part of the Huckleberry Grill family, this truck is the king of comfort. While they serve savory items like pork tenderloin, their namesake huckleberry desserts are the real stars.
- Must-Try: Huckleberry Mousse or the Whiskey Bread Pudding.
10. 801 Food Trucks
Technically a premier booking and catering collective, 801 Food Trucks is the pulse of the local scene. If you see their branding at an event, you know you’re getting a curated selection of the city’s best vendors (including several on this list!).
