The images don’t match up with the copy.
Thanks M. We’ve fixed it.
A great spread of the existing trucks. Thank you Raina and Wilson
We use the #foodtruckeats hashtag on twitter to announce when the trucks will be in Toronto, for small to large-scale events.
Additionally, the authoritative place for food truck whereabouts is the Ontario Food Trucks Facebook page;
https://www.facebook.com/ontariofoodtrucks
If you want to know when the Trucks will be in Toronto,or info on any of the events we organize, that’s the place.

What a shame that both the sweet trucks are based in Hamilton. Come to Toronto!
Although both sweet trucks are Hamilton based, both have their Toronto licenses and serve at Toronto events throughout the year.

are these the “Top 10” food trucks or the “Only 10” food trucks in Toronto? Besides the old school chip trucks I have never seen any other trucks in the city besides the above. It is like listing the top restauarant in the city that contain the words “Swiss” & “Chalet”!
RIP Toasted Tangerine
What about THE FOOD DUDES TRUCK??
They are the best looking and have the best food?
Fish Tacos…..Come on!
I’ve never heard of Toasted Tangerine? or Gorilla Cheese?
