Four Raleigh food trucks to try this month
Cilantro
Add a little ~spice~ in your life by bellying up to this family-owned and -operated biz rolling out street-style Mexican fare. The menu feats all the classics your heart (and stomach!) desire—think burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos and corn masa empanadas. Naturally, you’re gonna wanna ask for a fresh sprinkling of cilantro on whatever dish you end up ordering. And be sure to save room for dessert… the caramel-filled churros are a must-order. Taco ’bout a sweet ending!

Mike’s Nice Empanadas
“What’s in your pocket?” If it’s not one of these delish empanadas, you’re doing it wrong. The truck serves up four different types of authentic flavor bombs: The Boricua with ground beef and cheese, a cheesy chicken op, a birria empanada served with consommé, and a Monterey Jack cheese-stuffed number. Don’t sleep on the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls either—best enjoyed with the cult-favorite pink sauce. Pro tip: If the buffalo chicken empanada happens to be on the menu when you visit, you’re definitely gonna want to order it. How nice! mikeniceempanadas.com
Captain’s Gastro
It’s all Greek to us. … Inspired by cuisine from the Land of the Gods, this truck is run by two chefs, Elif & Mehmetcan Engin, who together tout 15 years of culinary experience whipping up Mediterranean– and Aegean-inspired dishes. Start your meal off with a fry basket (think of it like loaded Greek fries); then choose from a vibrant selection of bowls, plates, sandwiches and wraps. Round out your meal with the tahini baklava—because duh. captainsgastro.com
Blu Tee Spoon
Feeling blu? There’s nothing a burger can’t fix—and, bonus, these juicy gourmet patties are 100% plant-based. Founded by traveling registered nurse Teresa Sparks after she struggled to find good vegan ops in various cities, the mobile vegan burger destination serves up Southern comfort fast food with a twist. “Chick’n” fries, mac and cheese, and vegan wings are just some of the standouts on the menu, which changes daily, in addition to rotating burgs, natch. Get those spoons—and forks—up!
