The Best Italian Restaurants in Dallas

To me, nothing says food satisfaction like a big plate of fettuccine alfredo or chicken marsala. If you’re like me you’re in luck, because Dallas is home to some amazing Italian restaurants. First to mention is Kenny’s Italian Kitchen. It has a fantastic 4.7 rating, tons of raving reviews, and comes in at a $$ on price. Kenny’s has a classic, cozy, comfortable atmosphere with plenty of classic entrees that will please any Italian food lover. Next, called by reviewers as “the best Italian in Uptown”, we have Avanti Restaurant. Avanti stands out with a 4.5 rating at only a $$ price point. The Italian-Mediterranean inspired cuisine is not the only thing special about Avanti. It has a beautifully intimate dining room, a trendy outdoor seating area, and nightly live music. And we can’t forget Avanti Restaurant was a winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2022.

The Best Mexican Restaurants in Dallas

You can’t be in Texas and not go for some authentic Mexican food. Dallas has a huge number of amazing highly rated Mexican Restaurants. Most notable is Meso Maya Comida y Copas. This establishment boasts an impressive 4.5 rating with almost 4 thousand reviews, at a manageable $$ on the price point. If top-notch service from a super friendly staff is important to you, then this is your place! There are thousands of reviews raving about the amazing experience from the waiting and hosting staff. But don’t let that make you think service is all Meso Maya Comida y Copas has to offer, they make everything from scratch the authentic way, all the way down to their hand ground tortillas and the cocoa beans ground in house for their amazing mole sauce! The craftsmanship and detail the chefs put into every dish makes this one of the best Mexican restaurants in all of Dallas. For a casual cantina style eatery that provides some delicious Tex-Mex inspired dishes, check out Pepes and Mitos. This impressive Mexican Cafe and Cantina has been family owned and operated for almost 30 years, and the dedication and passion the Rojas family puts into their craft shows with every meal. Pepes and Mitos is graced with a 4.6 rating, over a thousand raving reviews, and at a modest $$ price.

The Best Asian Restaurants in Dallas

For  starters we’ll have Chinese, and Fortune House Shanghai Kitchen is a must-try. The most notable thing about Fortune House is that it was awarded The Best of Big D Top 50 Restaurants and Best Dumplings in 2021. With over 4 stars and a thousand reviews, Fortune House is the place to go when looking for authentic, un-Americanized Chinese cuisine. Oh, and get the soup dumplings. Next we have Japanese Cuisine. The nod has to go to Uchi. Uchi was founded by award winning American sushi master chef Tyson Cole. Cole studied in Tokyo for 10 years, and his dedication to his craft shows in all aspects of his restaurants. Uchi has 4.7 stars and almost 2 thousand reviews, with a $$$ price tag. If you’re in the mood for Ramen however, check out Wabi House. Wabi House is known for its amazing Ramen and Tsukamen, has a very cozy atmosphere and a wonderful location. If you’re craving Indian, the easy choice is Kalachandji’s. Kalachandji’s is a full-blown Indian experience. The facility is absolutely stunning, the menu is traditionally vegetarian, and the ambiance is second to none. It’s been called Dallas’ best vegetarian restaurant time and time again. It boasts a 4.7 rating with over 2 thousand reviews.

The Best Seafood Restaurants in Dallas

There are so many very highly rated Seafood Restaurants in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, it’s hard to narrow down a couple stand-outs. To help with that, we’ll avoid the $$$$ establishments and focus on the more affordable, casual dining experiences that have the best and most reviews. A good start is Truluck’s, which is still an upscale, dress code type of restaurant and comes in at a $$$ and has a 4.7 rating with 1.7 thousand reviews. Going with someone who’s not a seafood fan? No worries, Truluck’s has steaks too. If cajun style seafood suits your fancy, then check out Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen. Pappadeaux is a truly family operated restaurant, all the way down to the food delivery and the manufacturing of their chairs. They pride themselves on having only the freshest ingredients, expert waiting staff, and top notch chefs that are always finding innovative dishes that keep the menu fresh and interesting. Pappadeaux has a 4.4 rating with over 5 thousand reviews!

There are plenty of great restaurants in DFW that didn’t get mentioned in this blog, but this will hopefully give any new or visiting foodie a good idea of where to start. Whether you want to dress up and have a fine dining experience, or hit the streets of uptown to see what food trucks you can find with the Truckster App, Dallas is sure to satisfy whatever craving may come your way.

Denver Food Trucks are Banned in Lodo Area

Lodo Denver night

Bad news from the Denver PD for food truck owners and hungry crowds in the Lodo area- Officials announced in late July of 2022 that food trucks will no longer be able to operate in lower downtown Denver on Thursdays through Saturdays, in an attempt to reduce opportunities for crime and violence.

How Local Food Trucks Became the Target

This decision came after police had to open fire on a man with a gun outside of Larimer Beer Hall on a late Saturday night, after the bars closed. Unfortunately several bystanders were shot in the exchange, and they happened to be standing in line at a food truck. Police have determined that banning food trucks from parking in the Lodo area will incentivize people to head home after the bars close instead of hanging out in the streets to get their favorite authentic gyros or tacos from a local food truck. Less crowds of drunk people equals less chances of conflicts, right? Maybe not, if all those drunk people are hangry and have to walk several blocks to find their favorite Denver food trucks.

Lodo Trucks

How the Ban Affects The Best Food Trucks in Denver

Understandably so, many food truck owners feel that this is an unfair response to what happened. This decision affected around 20 different food trucks, all of which heavily rely on the business from the Lodo area on the weekends to keep their dreams alive. Many food truck owners have operated in the same location for decades, and customers have grown to know exactly when and where the best food trucks will be, and what they are going to order. These trucks now have to find new locations, several blocks away from where customers can easily see them or have known them to be for years. It will be much harder for food trucks to be found, and hungry customers to find them. Luckily, Truckster has an App for that!

How to Find and Support your Favorite Local Food Trucks with the Truckster App

There’s always a bright side to every story, if you are willing to look! You can still find and support your local food trucks by downloading the Truckster App. The app allows you to track live locations of trucks(nationwide), make and read reviews, view menus, and even order ahead online. The Truckster Vendor App is also a valuable asset to have for food truck owners. It helps food truck owners reach more customers, book catering gigs, schedule events, monitor analytics of your small business, and more. So if you are a food truck owner, food truck aficionado, or part of the Lodo crowd wondering where all the food trucks have gone, get the Truckster app now so we can all stay connected and keep our bellies full!

A Food Truck Forward Weekend in Kansas City 

Kansas city skyline

Kansas City is probably best known for its barbeque. It would be fair to assume that Kansas City has nothing else to offer given the amount of chatter and enthusiasm the city has for BBQ. In fact, Kansas City has quite a lot to offer and has been voted one of the best Midwest Cities to visit. From music to art to architecture – Kansas City is sure to surprise and impress! KC is an eclectic mix of jazz clubs, boutique hotels, museums, and delicious restaurants that reach far beyond just BBQ. You’ll come to find that Kansas City is anything but a drive-by city. Remember the streetcar is 100% free and completes a 2-mile route through the city’s downtown, including the entertainment, arts, and hotel districts. It runs every 10 to 15 minutes, seven days a week. 

Friday – All about the music: 

While jazz was born in New Orleans, Kansas city likes to say that it grew up here. It was here that jazz evolved from a big-band style to more of a musical improvisation. In 2017, it was designated a Creative City by UNESCO for its contributions to music. 

A jazz musician plays the trumpet

Your first stop after arriving in the city on a Friday afternoon is to The American Jazz Museum in the historic 18th and Vine district of Kansas City. The museum strives to preserve and celebrate the history of American jazz music. There are exhibits dedicated to the greats: Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and more.

After you’ve thoroughly enjoyed your trip to the museum head over to the nearby memorial commemorating the legendary jazz artist Charlie “Bird” Parker. He was a major part of the Kansas City jazz scene and culture. If you’ve worked up an appetite, go grab lunch and a drink at one of the many restaurants in the 18th and Vine district including Smaxx, Soiree, and Kansas City Juke House.

Next, head over to Friday Night Sound Bites: KC Groove Therapy. The event is held every Friday from 6:00 – 9:00 pm. The Public market has live music and local Kansas City food trucks on a rotating basis out on their patio every Friday night. Local bands switch every week and will help locals and visitors alike relax as you move into the weekend. To top it all off, admission is free! 

Saturday – all about the food and drinks: 

We would encourage you to sleep on your Saturday morning. Whenever you are good and ready, head about 25 minutes outside of the city to KC Wine Co. This boutique winery and vineyard serves up Food Trucks & Fun every Saturday from 12-9pm. There is live music in the evenings, tours of the winery and vineyard, wine tastings, and yard games!

And what could be better than… drumroll please… many many food trucks! From KC favorites, including multiple BBQ vendors to cajun food, Korean fusion and much much more – you’ll be muching and sipping to your heart’s content in the most scenic of settings all day long! 

Sunday – All about the art: 

We recommend starting your day off around 9:00 am with your favorite morning beverage and pastry from one of the many boutique coffee shops in Country Club Plaza. The Plaza is known for being home to some of the best galleries, architecture, and art in the city. While walking through the Plaza area, make sure to stop along the way to admire the many fountains and mosaics. Fun fact – Kansas City is second to Rome for its number of fountains per capita. The Plaza area also houses two of the city’s best museums. 

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art not only has free admission every day, but also has a massive collection of art from all over the world, including a rotation of unique and visually stunning exhibits. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art greets you with a four-story spider statue out front. It is a more intimate collection of modern sculptures, paintings, films, and installations. Pick your choice between one of the two museums and enjoy some of the best art in the Midwest.

Then, head over to historic Pendleton Heights, minutes from Downtown KC. From 11 am – 4 pm Art Garden KC, a free weekly festival, showcases works from multi-talented Kansas City artists. There are Food Trucks (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), local Brews, free activities for adults and children, and live art demos.

End the day at Union Station. Today, Union Station still serves Amtrak trains, but it also houses classic restaurants like Pierpont’s and Harvey’s, live entertainment at City Stage Theater, a planetarium, a science center, and more. While visiting, be sure to also check out the massive chandeliers, 95-foot ceiling, and six-foot-wide-clock in the Grand Hall.

Whether you are in Kansas City or one of Truckster’s other 12 cities, make sure to check the app often to find a delicious food truck near you. From event catering to a quick lunch – Food Trucks can fit just about every need, and Truckster is here to make it easy.

How to avoid a line during a food truck catered event

You booked a food truck to cater your event, yay! But now you’re concerned that people may be stuck in line instead of mingling, dancing, enjoying overall merriment. Fear not! We have several tips on how to feed your guests faster and avoid lines at food truck catered events!

People Queuing Up For A Food Truck

Limit the menu options

Limiting the menu can drastically reduce ticket times. Choose your favorite 2-5 menu items (or ask the truck which items they suggest) to cut down on the decision factor and help trucks expedite food faster. 

Buffet setup

Instead of a typical ordering service, have your truck set up a partial or full buffet of food options. This ensures fast service and also puts some of the work on the guests, which makes the time going through the buffet more entertaining than simply waiting to be served. If you’re looking for extra speedy service, you can consider a double-sided buffet as well.

Individually pre-packaged meals

This has become more common to adhere with various COVID restrictions and allows trucks to quickly pass out meals to guests. We recommend ordering a certain amount of each meal, or be prepared to purchase a few extra meals than number of guests attending so that one option doesn’t run out.

Individually packaged catered meals

Control the flow of people

Send people for food in intervals to avoid a crowd overwhelming your truck all at once. 

Bonus tip : Use songs as table numbers and have guests approach the truck when their song is played! 

Creative example of table numbers

Add another truck

This will increase the cost, but could make the event run more smoothly and provide a variety of options to your guests.

Other questions about how to avoid lines at food truck catered events or other food trucks related questions? This is what we do. Contact us directly or submit a general catering request to get started.

Plated Dinner, Family Style, Buffet, Oh My!

Think food truck catering means everyone is lined up, waiting for food? Think again! While that is an option, food trucks are well versed in catering experiences from sit down dinners to casual dance parties. Choose which service feels right for your celebration + your guests!

Food Truck Service

Guests go directly to the truck and order off the menu. Trucks have a variety of options and you can choose to offer their full menu or limited options. Expect guests to wait 5-15 minutes as food is prepared to order. This is best for a cocktail style of event and not a seated dinner.

Visual of what a buffet setup looks like

Buffet

A beautiful display of food that can be set up in front of the food truck or on a table elsewhere at your event. This is the fastest service style for a catered event. This option is more difficult to control meal sizes, so expect a slightly higher cost per person. 

Visual of what family style service looks like

Family Style

This is less common for food trucks, but still an option with some truck concepts. Food will be served on large platters across tables for guests to serve themselves. Similar to buffets, expect a slightly higher cost per person to provide ample serving sizes for each table. Depending on the truck, there may be rental fees for dinnerware and serveware. 

Visual of what plated service looks like

Plated Dinner

This is a special request for most food trucks. This option has clear cut food costs but may include additional fees for server staffing and dinnerware rentals. Plated dinners are served as coursed meals and can create an elevated atmosphere.

A chef serving a plated dinner

Plated dinners will typically be the most expensive option, given the staff and training requirements to pull off such a sophisticated event. Many food truck owners have backgrounds in fine dining so this style will not be new to them.

Visual of what drop off service looks like

Drop Off

Food trucks do not provide a service but instead drop off prepared food prior to your event. This is the lowest cost option and most flexible in terms of number of people and minimum but does not include the “food truck ambiance.”

Our Recommendations for Your Event

We recommend the following services for these types of events however choose which option will be best for your event’s atmosphere!

  • Weddings : Family Style or Plated Dinner
  • Concerts : Food Truck Service
  • Cocktail Hour : Food Truck Service or Buffet
  • Corporate Event or Gala : Buffet or Plated Dinner
  • Intimate Affairs : Drop Off Service

How many food trucks should we book for our wedding?

Catering

The number of guests attending, the amount of time for food service, the style of service, the cuisines you choose, your catering budget and the atmosphere you want to create all have an impact on how many trucks you should hire. If you have a large guest list, consider hiring an additional food truck to ensure no one is waiting for too long to eat. Read on for some other points to consider.

hors d'oeuvre

Service Considerations

Multiple trucks will provide food choices and dietary options for everyone!
If you want everyone served at the same time, multiple trucks will be able to serve simultaneously to a large party. If your wedding isn’t a seated dinner and people can order and eat at will, then one truck can handle more guests.

Buffet service can be prepared in advance and one truck will be able to feed a larger group of people faster.

For a seated dinner, one or multiple trucks could be an option, however not all trucks offer this service style.

Cuisines

What type of food are you looking for? Certain cuisines are faster to serve than others. A burger that is grilled to order will take longer than a pulled pork sandwich that was smoked earlier that day.

High end hors d'oeuvre

Cost

Each food truck will have its own rental costs in addition to food service. You will have to pay a premium for each truck, however this is similar to other catering services when you want additional options. Multiple food trucks may cost a little more, but are still likely to be more affordable than a formal catering option (Plus way more fun + memorable!)

Catered Meal First Course

Truckster tip : Consider booking a truck for each course! We suggest tapas for an appetizer truck, burgers or pizza for a main course and of course a sweets truck for dessert!

Don’t worry about tracking down trucks that complement each other or negotiating several proposals. Truckster makes it all easy! Fill out our catering inquiry form to get started!
