Last week, one of our Twitter followers made a special request: a guide to all the nearly 50 food trucks currently roaming around town that use Twitter — along with their Twitter handles. So @sarahnoid, this list is for you.
Food trucks are sorted alphabetically, along with their primary type of cuisine (yes, we now have a grilled cheese sandwich truck, a Filipino street food truck and a breakfast burrito truck) and their Twitter handle.
If you want to follow all of Houston’s food trucks in one convenient spot, check out our carefully cultivated Twitter list: You’ll find them all there, along with their most recent Tweets, menus and locations.
And, as always, if we missed any trucks, please let us know in the comments section.
