Five Trucks-Turned-Restaurant

Five Trucks-Turned-Restaurant

The Twin Cities loved these food trucks so much that customers wanted them to stay put in one spot. While many trucks have added a brick-and-mortar spot, these are some that have done it the best.

Café Racer Kitchen

2929 E. 25th St.,
Minneapolis, MN 55406

You might not guess it by its name, but Café Racer serves up unparalleled Latin American cuisine in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. Now that they serve brunch and dinner six days a week, you can scoot on over and order something delicious all day long. Try items like the Breakfast Yucca Poutine or Colombian Street Dog for a taste of what they’re all about.

World Street Kitchen

2743 Lyndale Ave. S. #5,
Minneapolis, MN 55408

“Global street food, local streets” is World Street Kitchen’s motto. Made famous by their Yum Yum Rice Bowls and Bangkok Burritos, this staple Minneapolis food truck also resides in Uptown while their mobile kitchen still hits the streets regularly. Try items like the Thai Mushroom Laab Lettuce Wrap and Beef Shawarma Tacos, followed by dessert next door at Milkjam Creamery—the quirky ice cream parlor is owned by the same foodies.

Smack Shack

603 N. Washington Ave.,
Minneapolis, MN 55401

All hail the Twin Cities’ Louisiana-style seafood connoisseurs. The hype over Smack Shack’s food truck spilled over into its beautiful North Loop location, which now serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, along with one out-of-this-world weekend brunch. Find a spot on the patio for some famous Lobster Mac-and-Cheese, Shrimp-N-Grits, Lobster Rolls and Po’Boys.

Sassy Spoon

5011 S. 34th Ave.,
Minneapolis, MN 55417

Gluten-free is all the rage these days, and Sassy Spoon harnesses the very best of it. The former food truck has shuttered its doors to focus on its Minneapolis location, so we highly recommend you put this on your list of places to stop. Whether you eat gluten-free by choice or by necessity, it doesn’t really matter—the menu is sure to satisfy with items like Zoodle Pad Thai, Flatbread Pizza, Chicken Curry and more.

Hola Arepa

3501 Nicollet Ave.,
Minneapolis, MN 55408
holaarepa.com

Not only is Hola Arepa’s food a feast for the eyes, so is their spot on the edge of Uptown Minneapolis. The bright, rustic décor and dog-friendly patio elevate the ambiance of this Latin-inspired eatery. They specialize in Venezuelan arepas, cornmeal dough patties stuffed with meat, veggies, cheese and more, and don’t forget to order a refreshing cocktail to wash them down.
