In recent years though, they have been making a comeback as gourmet food trucks. Ooh and there are dessert trucks too now.
I met up with Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for lunch and we checked out a food truck called Ono to Go.
Ono (oh-no) in Hawaiian means delicious, so the name of the truck literally means "delicious to go".
Unlike some trucks who drive around for a space to sell on the street, this truck is located in a specific parking lot.
We tried the grilled pork chops with brown rice and tossed salad. The tossed salad was dressed with papaya seed dressing.
The pork chops were smoky and quite moist....US$9 tax included.
The salmon was very moist and flavorful but the mac potato salad a bit too salty for my liking.
The pieces of salmon were very generously sized too.
This truck does a lot of grilling, so most everything I think would be tasty. They even had a grilled vegetable medley which sounded delicious too.
Oh and if you follow them on Twitter, you can see what their daily specials will be.
The weather turned out to be gorgeous. You should know the early morning was pouring rain...
It was fun to watch.
It was a great day, nice company and great food...thanks Deb!

Those food trucks sound really good and very convenient. I bet the smell of that great food would drag them in from all places!!

Thanks Sandy, it was :)
Very very convenient and really good too, J-A! I wish Japan would have more of these food trucks, they are only starting to appear here and there.
Same here, Deb in Hawaii!!
Take care everyone.

Awesome lunch and glad to hear how the food trucks are going more uppercrust and branching out to other things. Now if you should come across an italian food truck....^-^
