Everybody is buzzing about Dallas Food Trucks. Many of the food trucks make the same rounds each week but their schedules vary. It’s hard to decide which one to try when there are so many in the Dallas Fort Worth area, so we have compiled a list for you.

Here’s the breakdown of the Dallas / Forth Worth Food Trucks and what that they offer:

Gandolfo’s: The menu at the deli includes an extensive list of breakfast sandwiches and bagels, with specialty cream cheeses, for the early-morning crowd. Sandwiches are made on fresh bread that is baked on site each morning and include turkey, chicken breast, ham, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef as well as vegetarian options and Nathan’s brand hot dogs. Find them on Facebook.

American / Cajun:

Rockn’ Rick’s: Between burgers, gumbo, and po boys this food truck is full of good old Cajun flavor. They also serve a fresh salad so you can squeeze your veggies in too.

Jack’s Chowhound: The menu is heavy on hearty, hangover-curing items (pepperoni, marinara sauce, and cheese fried in an egg roll wrap; pulled pork and Gouda grilled cheese with barbecue sauce; steak sammies with aged cheddar and horseradish mayo), but there is a portobello burger with Swiss, spicy mayo, grilled onions, and sprouts. Prices are light at just $5 to $9, including hand-cut fries or Kettle chips. Find them on Facebook and Twitter.

Italian:

Gennarino’s: An authentic Neapolitan-style Friggitoria run by three brothers from Naples, Italy. Come and enjoy all of the great Italian flavors that you love in ways that you’ve never seen them. Find them on Facebook and Twitter.

Petro’s: With their own blend of ingredients, Petros has created a new twist on the Frito Pie. Also serving great Baked Potatoes, Hot Dogs, Nachos, Creamy Shakes and Hint of Orange Tea. Find them on Facebook and Twitter.

You cannot go wrong with their Specialty Tortas! Talk about fresh food, they also make their desserts from scratch daily including their Mimi’s Pralines.

So Cal Tacos: After being frustrated with average fishTacos, the guys at So Cal go in their own kitchen and over the next 3 years developed their own authentic recipes for the Southern California Classic.

Asian:

Nammi: A Vietnamese Fusion Truck serving up banh mi, vietnamese tacos, spring rolls and much more to the DFW metroplex. No, they are not trying to reinvent banh mi or Vietnamese Cuisine. The guys from Nammi just want to share our take on this Vietnamese classic and hope that others would enjoy eating it just as much as they enjoying making it. Find them on Facebook and Twitter.

SsahmBBQ: Like Ssahm’s korean bbq brethren in other cities, the menu includes kalbi (bbq beef short ribs), ddak (chicken), daeji (spicy pork) and dubu (tofu), which become $3 tacos when wrapped inside a doubled-up corn tortilla stuffed with kimchi, cilantro, onions, red or green salsa and a sesame soy vinaigrette. Subbing a flour tortilla and add rice and cheese gets you a $7 burrito. Yum. Find them on Facebook and Twitter.

BBQ/Meat:
