Food Trucks
If they didn't drive their restaurant there, did you even eat?
Bake-N-Load
This delightful food truck near Bosque and New Road serves up hot baked potatoes featuring toppings like chicken, brisket, and tuna at a reasonable price. All potatoes come with a salad, as well. There's a veggie baked potato option, as well.

Boardwalk on Elm

Blasian Asian
The Yellow Noodles are out of this world, as is just about everything that the Blasian Asian offers, which includes a delightful curry, stir-fry lemongrass beef, and pad thai. It's the only place in Waco for Cambodian food, and I've yet to order an item I didn't love.
720 Franklin Avenue

Cheddar Box
Specializing in grilled cheese sandwiches, Cheddar Box is the place for gourmet grilled cheese and macaroni & cheese on the go - get a combo to enjoy them both. Located at the Magnolia Silos, you won't want to miss Cheddar Box. Vegetarian-friendly, not so much for vegans and gluten-free folk.

Staff Pick: Guac This Way
Club Sandwich
Waco's own Asian fusion food truck, Club Sandwich has options for all tastes from vegetarians to those of you who bathe in gluten. Be sure to try the trashcan rice bowl, or get it on a bed of shredded cabbage and make it a salad.
601 Webster Avenue
11am-4pm Mon-Sat; Closed Sun
El Pollo Palenque
Did you know that there are food trucks that aren't downtown or at the Silos? Crazy, but it's true. Check Taqueria El Pollo Palenque out on La Salle - their tacos are absolutely delicious, particularly the barbacoa. Great tacos at a great price.
1400 La Salle Avenue
11am-11pm Mon-Thu; 11am-2am Fri-Sat; Closed Sun
H.O.T. Dog House
It’s a gourmet hotdog food truck featuring bacon-wrapped hot dogs, Frito Pies, and more!

Las Trancas Taqueria
I've never been by Las Trancas and seen it empty, even at 2:30am. This taco truck serves up delicious tacos, tortas, and quesadillas...even at 2:30am. It's probably *more* delicious at 2:30am.
400 North 25th Street
8am-12am Sun-Wed; 8am-1am Thu; 8am-3am Fri-Sat
Pokey O's Cookies & Ice Cream
Who doesn't like cookies and ice cream? Vladimir Putin, that's who (unconfirmed). Pokey O's keeps things fun by revealing on Instagram where they'll be that day, so make sure you're following, because missing out on their sweet treats is a fate worse than death.

sergio's Food Truck
While their tacos and quesadillas are legit, the breakfast burritos set Sergio's apart. They're massive, they're delicious, and they're cheap - Sergio's is everything you could want in a food truck.
In the parking lot across from Dichotomy on Austin Avenue Mon-Fri; Downtown Farmer's Market on Saturday
8am-2pm Mon-Fri; 8:30am-1pm Sat
James' Pick: Barbacoa Bacon Burrito
Taqueria La Milpa
I'm getting old. 3:30am is "too early" for me now, instead of being "too late," like it was when I was at ACU 16 years ago. I'll be honest: there are times when I've randomly woken up at 2:30am and headed to La Milpa, because they're the truth. With tasty tacos and great elotes, La Milpa has your late-night (or early-morning) dining needs.
2015 La Salle Avenue
