Where to Find Miami’s Best Food Trucks

Restaurants in Greater Miami and Miami Beach come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes they’re not even traditional restaurants at all. Our favorite Miami food trucks serve high-quality eats to rival some of the best dining in the destination, often at lower prices, too. These trucks are among the more unique ways to experience the authentic flavors of Miami. Whether you’re looking for a sizzling-hot chicken wing and fries truck, delicious empanadas or picture-perfect milkshakes for your Instagram feed, there’s a food truck that does it.

Myka

777 Brickell Avenue

Myka has become a place to get Greek yogurt, while enjoying the Brickell nightlife scene. The little truck parked outside the 777 Brickell Avenue building comes alive at night, drawing a cross section of Brickellites decked out in everything from tailored suits to running clothes.

A live DJ often accompanies the experience, but you should come to enjoy Myka's delicious frozen yogurt. Get something with seasonal fruit mixed in and it’s about the healthiest dessert you can find. Just be warned, you may feel like you’re at a club. 

A.C. Icee’s

Parking lot at David T. Kennedy Park

Long before food trucks were a popular way of dining in Miami, A.C. Icee’s was cooling people off from its truck outside David T. Kennedy Park in Coconut Grove. The simple frozen lemonade stand has become a nostalgic landmark, the refreshing treat kids remember after little league games.

Beyond lemonade, you can also get hot dogs, tuna salad sandwiches and flavored ices like cherry and piña colada. If you thought your trip was memorable, A.C. has a whole line of souvenirs you can pick up too. 

The Market Milkshake Bar

16405 SW 177^th Avenue

Milkshakes have evolved from simple drive-in snacks to over-the-top, colorful works of art. And you’ll learn this as soon as you order a shake at the Market Milkshake Bar. The roving showcase of Instagram-worthy indulgences includes delectable stuff like cookies and cream and cookie dough shakes, as well as some Miami food-inspired flavors like dulce de leche and guava and cheese. 

Koompir

156 NE 28^th Street

In Turkey, stuffed baked potatoes are as common a street food as slices of pizza in America. In Miami, the best place to pick one up is Koompir, tucked onto an Edgewater side street.

The potatoes are baked potato skins stuffed with mashed potatoes and cheese, along with traditional toppings like chicken or beef doner meat, jalapeños, corn and sauces. There’s also a big kebab menu and Turkish coffee to snap you out of your food coma. Grab one and enjoy it at the picnic tables nearby, which feel a little like a Turkish coffee shop in the sun. 

El Bori

261 NW 36^th Street

Bori is shorthand for “Boricua,” a nickname for Puerto Ricans. That gives you a pretty good idea of what to expect at El Bori, a roving cavalcade of island cuisine where you’ll find mofongo-stuffed chicken, mofongo with fried pork and a surf-and-turf mofongo with steak and shrimp.

El Bori is far from a one-plantain pony, though. Its selection of sandwiches ranges from pastrami to grilled chicken and cheese, and you can get a side of fries topped with ground beef and cilantro mayo. You’ll typically find it parked in Doral. 

Fat Boy Ricks

15020 SW 136^th Street

Bring your camera before a trip to Fat Boy Ricks, whose burgers are as immense as they are photogenic. The thick, half-pound patties are topped with generous amounts of meats, cheeses and sauces, creating an eating experience that tests the limits of your mouth’s capacity.

Check out the Friday burger, topped with thick-cut bacon, guava jam and pepper jack cheese between a buttery brioche bun. The truck parks in Kendall. 

Ms. Cheezious

533 NE 83^rd Street

Ms. Cheezious is one of Miami’s great food truck success stories, going from a simple rolling sandwich shop to one of the area’s most popular fast-casual restaurants. Though the brick and mortar shop has closed, you’ll still regularly find the mobile food truck at events around Miami, or at Skatebird in El Portal.

They’ll be pressing creative grilled cheese sandwiches like the goat cheese and prosciutto melt with arugula and marble rye, and Southern fried chicken and waffle melt with fried chicken and cheddar smashed between buttermilk waffles. 

Naughty Coffee

Inside Aventura Mall, Dadeland Mall and 101 NE 2^nd Avenue

Coffee always tastes a little better when it’s served out of a Volkswagen bus. That’s the philosophy at Naughty Coffee, where the mix of gourmet coffee drinks and fresh-baked sweet snacks has made it a daily stop for countless Miamians. An added bonus, especially during summer months. It has locations inside both Aventura Mall and Dadeland Mall. You can also visit the permanent Downtown Miami location. 

Tacos El Machine Gon

21188 West Dixie Highway

For real-deal, authentic Mexican tacos, the undisputed kings of the road are Tacos el Machine Gon. The blue corn tortillas are unique among Miami food trucks. Favorites include the El Wero tacos with chipotle chicken breast, lettuce, onion, cotija cheese and sour cream, and the El Machine Gon with steak, chorizo, pork skin, onions and cilantro. 

Don't miss the elote corn and El Chido guacamole, which could stand as meals on their own. You’ll always walk away satisfied. You can find the truck Tuesday to Sunday in Aventura. 

World Famous Egg Roll Truck

19401 Northwest 27^th Avenue

In a world of unique food trucks, the World Famous Egg Roll Truck has remained a constant, rolling along the streets of Miami for nearly a decade. You’ll find egg rolls stuffed with things you never thought to put in a wonton, from hibachi meats to Philly cheesesteak, and Oreo cheesecake for dessert.

You can see where the truck will be by checking its Instagram page, but it has one regular location in Miami Gardens.
