Food Truck 2015: New Wheels on the Road

With but a single stomach to my name, it's going to take me a while to make my way through the new Food Trucks in our midst.  In the meantime, however, I've wandered about the city this week to take a gander at their menus...

Food Trucks 2015: Stuffed Sopapillas

Stuffed Sopapillas at SoWa on Opening Day

As the snow finally melted and flowers began poking out, the Boston Food Truck season began on April 1, 2015.  And with this new season, a number of new to me food trucks rolled out.  Stuffed Sopapillas was the first of these to catch my eye.

One word of advice, if you are among the fortunate ones to work within lunching distance of a regular food truck location, you might want to consider skipping out on SoWa's opening week at least.  I learned this the hard way, through standing in a line for over half an hour to place my order, then waiting in a crowd for an hour more till the warm Avocado BLT with Special Sauce Sopapilla $8 was finally delivered into my eager hands.

Consuming the crisp bacon pocket was short work, though it didn't quite fully satiate my lunchtime appetite.
