Tasty Truck Tuesday

One more reason to love Normal Heights, tasty truck tuesdays.
I miss the cupcake truck but other trucks have made appearances and please my palate. The live music is a nice touch, you run into lots of locals and share a few laughs. Lately i have been walking over to mariposa across the street after hitting up the bbq truck, do your self a favor and take a walk in our beautiful normal heights on a tuesday night. Enjoy some live music, an easy going crowd and a variety of trucks offering delicious food.
Most take plastic which is awesome, who carries cash now a’days!

Could they play any louder? Seriously, I live around this intersection and I’m not gonna take it anymore. If anyone responsible reads this, PLEASE! Turn the speakers down a little. Don’t assume that the whole neighborhood enjoys this kind of music, people might love the greasy food but you can’t force the music on everyone around here.

Weekly food truck events are my fav. Since they’re weekly, they don’t get too crowded unlike the once-​in-​awhile huge food truck events (I once had to wait 2 hours for food at one of those events!).
I was at Blind Lady Ale House for a couple of drinks before so I love that this was only like a block or two away. There was a live band playing… How can you say no to good food and live music? There aren’t any tables or chairs so be prepared to stand and eat. I can’t remember all of the trucks that were there this past week, but it changes weekly so you can just check online to see which ones will be there.

A tiny, tasteful, Tuesday event. I went last night and really enjoyed it! There were 5 trucks there last night: fancy burgers, Asian, Mexican, green, and one that I can’t seem to remember. I heard that there usually a pirogi truck too. I ate at the green food truck. They were out of the pumpkin tacos so I had the beet and quinoa salad and the «Car-​not-​as» Sandwich. This was a spaghetti squash sandwich. These were delicious, though a bit messy to eat while trying to balance my food in a parking lot.
There was a really fun blues band playing in the there. I wish there had been more people dancing. A few benches or small tables would have been great too, as there is only a small curb to sit on while eating.

I like the Idea of having many tasty food trucks near my home, as long as its only once a week. Tasty Truck Tuesday is a popular weekly gathering where Food Trucks rotate bringing great food at a great price. Food Trucks change every week, make sure you visit the website

Few bars in the stretch of Adams ave. (Sycamore Den, Ould Sod) don’t have any food items, but thank God for Tuesdays you can easily get a bite or 2 to eat and bring it bar to the bar.
All of your favorite food trucks (aprox 9 trucks) gather in the corner of Adams ave and Hawley Blvd.
Great little blues music band playing in the little spot will make your experience tasty.
Operacaffe «Tuscan Cuisine» great steak sandwich and chicken Parmesan.
Hoangies has a great Banh Mi
Lil Miss Short Cake has some great sweet things…

Dear Food Trucks,
A blessing and a curse. That’s what your gatherings are to me.
I enjoy the convenience of being able to choose from several vendors at a single location, like a mobile food court, minus the conveniently located restroom and accessible seats & tables.
The evening’s features from:
— Asian Persuasion
— Devilicious
— Not So Fast
— Lil’ Miss Short Cakes
— Pierogi Truck
— Urban Eats
Live blues music provided by Chickenbone Slim & The Biscuits. Electric. I don’t know if there is regularly scheduled entertainment, so it was an interesting surprise, however, the parking lot at Smitty’s (automotive service) is tiny and the band was set up next to the trucks. Between the drumming and amplified speakers, it got so loud at times that people from the trucks had to shout quite a bit for when the food was ready (except for Devilicious, who had a bullhorn).
As posted before, there’s no seating or tables and just a sliver of shelf space along the office window ledge, so you’ll have to be prepared or improvise if you want to stay for dinner and a show. I wasn’t expecting much either since the event is free to attend.
So, a number of food trucks assembled in a single location? This hurts my brain and teases my belly because I can’t just eat at one when I want to sample from all of your trucks. And food truck menus are expensive in general for thrifty shoppers like myself that loves to find great bargains. Just like at the County Fair, I wish there was a taster menu for only a few bucks to get a couple of bites of a signature dish. Can you guys organize and make that happen? Thanks.
Sincerely,
My Wallet

This is a great place to pick up some unique, creative food in a lively enjoyable venue. Keep an eye on the prices ($ 12 bison-​burger!) but expect some great tastes and some good music from Chickenbone Slim and the Biscuits!

Awesome fun time. 6 gourmet food trucks hanging out at an old gas station and a band playing in the background… a super fun time, especially for my 1 ½ year old who is obsessed with trucks.
I only have 2 complaints… the trucks are close together and of course are running so you are inhaling a bunch of fumes all night. I think there is a canopy thing above them which makes it worse. Also there is nowhere to sit, so bring some foldup chairs. Otherwise it’s a fun little event.

When I was a kid I would walk home from school. Sometimes with friends, sometimes by myself. I loved walking home from school because it made me feel grown. It was my little slice of heaven between the supervision of my parents and the constant bombardment of a school day… One day, I was returning from school alone when a small van pulled along side me. You know the type… No windows, chipping paint & a weird guy that offers you candy and a ride home! Ah, but I was a wise child and instead of taking the lift home I ran as fast as I could and hid in a bush till I thought the coast was clear.
Don’t be be fooled by it’s exterior! Tasty Truck Tuesday6 is nothing like that traumatic event. I run to these trucks for the awesomness that is their offerings! No one invites me in their trucks which is a shame on these occasions but fine by me. I’ll stand on the outside and enjoy delicious eats from strangers. Strangers offering the best food truck food in the county! Also, a good band plays live and who doesn’t wanna fatten themselves up to a soundtrack?! I do!

Checking out Urban Eats! Love the live music. This is one of the best things about living in the Normal Heights neighborhood.

There is noting more satisfying to a foodie such as myself than to have not one, but several food trucks gathered in one location. I live in North County and have no problem driving down to funky, fun Normal Heights for a Food Truck Safari. I highly recommend the Pirogi (sp) Truck. You can sample and share a delicious variety of fantastic «Polish Ravioli’s» and they even have crumbled bacon as an add on.
Other Notable culinary delights:
SD Sweet Treats Truck: Try the Maple bacon Cookie.
God Save The Cuisine: I had the Fish and Chips Taco

Showed up last night and ate at the Asian Persuasion truck. Ordered the Spicy Orange Peel Chicken and my «partner in crime» ordered her favorite: the Curry Chicken.
For $ 8 bucks I received a nice portion of white rice and the spicy yet flavorful chicken, which definitely lived up to its name I might add (not too hot nonetheless).
I personally thought the Curry Chicken was some of the best tasting I’ve had in all of San Diego to be honest with you, but since my Girlfriend is somewhat of a «Chicken Curry Connoisseur»; her critique was a little harsher than mine. The plate came with a small portion of rice and a side salad, $ 8 as well.
Tasty truck Tues is definitely for those who can’t make up their mind as to what to eat for dinner… they constantly rotate in a great variety of cuisines that is sure to appeal to your taste buds!!!

i love spending tuesdays not in my kitchen but enjoying the creations of several food trucks right down my street! i really look forward to seeing each week what trucks are there to delight my taste buds and feed my need for something tasty! the only thing i wish could change would be the rotation of the food trucks. sometimes it feels like there is nothing new and i feel like i’m looking in my cabinets at home. but even with the standby trucks like the pierogi truck (which truly is fantastic and run by the sweetest woman) i know what i can rely on being great quality. i recommend this to friends and family and i now have a group that meets at my house and we walk down there together. this works well since we can all get different things and share a bit so we can try several bites in one night. I love the band that plays as well. it gives it some character and it’s fun to dance along while you’re waiting for your food. 2 tips: wait a few minutes after 6 to let them get fully setup before heading over and bring a chair with you or be prepared to stand and eat.

Finally made it to a Tuesday!
Crab and Polenta Hush Puppies: excellent! so crispy on the outside and nice texture on the inside! About 8 or 9 come in a basket for $ 9 and they’re topped with sauce that was possibly tomato or red bell pepper aioli. Had to fight my 3 year old for the last one!
Squash Blossom Tacos: Two for $ 9, pricey for street food, but so so tasty! We’ve been missing these since our favorite place went out of business. So nice to find them stuffed with ricotta again! Sauce and seasonings were spot on!
Nice that they provide tables and seating! Would have been a nightmare with kids without it. Lots of families and kids running amok! They had a band which was a nice touch, but just a bit too loud for the crowded parking lot. Thankfully, the seating was at the other end!
So many options: BBQ, Asian Persuasian, Lousiana Cajun, Operacaffe, and more!
We ate light because my husband hates crowds and was antsy. But I plan to come back without him ASAP!

As a vegetarian who likes a balanced meal and appreciates a savory veg execution of just about any style of food, this place left me hungry. Go here if your into sausages and steak and other easy stuff. Vegetarians will get the 8 dollar quinoa treatment. Ill try again but my 1^st attempt was a disappointment

Nothing cheers me up after a long day at work quite like driving home and stopping off at tasty truck tuesday! The trucks here are all awesome, you really can’t go wrong — there’s always a wide selection of choices from super meaty bbq to fresh vegan fare — stop over, try something new, and enjoy!
