This hefty food truck will accept both cash and credit cards. Delicious smoked meats will include beef brisket, pulled pork, chicken, Cuban sandwiches, and more. While primarily a meat-based menu, this truck has a variety of options including vegetarian sides such as cornbread, coleslaw, and potato salad.
