Food Carts

[Mr. V]

Food carts are very popular in Portland, Oregon and I was wondering if there are any in the lakes region?

For those unfamiliar with food carts, typically they're a travel trailer converted to a portable kitchen with a cut out for serving customers.

Typically they occupy spaces in parking lots, or sometimes are clustered together in "pods."

Some are very good quality: the best Mexican food I've found locally is from a food cart.

Lots around here, but they tend to be food trucks, not trailers.

Anybody that likes good BBQ and burgers-Smokin' Guns BBQ has a trailer in the Ossipee Lake area and is fantastic. He used to have a shop and did fantastic pizza as well. Worth a try if you're in the area this summer. I'm never around when his trailer is open- if someone wants to check it out and get me a three way roast beef sammie I'll be forever greatful!

There is an app available called WTF. It lists a bunch of food trucks.

Last Summer Smokin' Guns was at Mountain Greenery/Ace Hardware in Ossipee something like Tues and Wed. and they regularly were at Hobb's Brewery next door. I'll pick you up a Three Way Roast Beef Sammie!

I just looked at Beans and Greens menu and see that a "taco" is $9.49...YIKES!

I eat a lot of Mexican food here in San Francisco and I have never paid more than $3 in a sit-down restaurant for a taco and $1.75 from a taco truck.

Is Beans and Greens confusing a burrito with a taco? A burrito is usually priced between $8.95 - $10.95. Their menu mentions a "flour tortilla", which is different than a taco shell.

The owner of Poggios (formerly Osterio Poggio) partnered with Birch Rise Farm and have a truck in the Center Harbor area that makes it way around the lake to various locations throughout the Summer. Mak'n Ends Meat (they are on fb). Tried it last Summer and it was delicious.
