Food Truck Paradise is a stretch of food trucks that have lined up daily in New Haven, Connecticut…read moresince 1960. Every day as many as 29 food trucks can be found along Long Wharf Drive: a majority of them serving some form of Latinx cuisine. The Sweeney's Hot Dog truck, owned by Bob Sweeney, is often credited as the first truck to begin parking along the stretch all those many years ago... and it's still showing up today. By 2017, the stretch of road was becoming crowded with too many trucks. The city set up a special vending program as well as a lottery for licenses. Power hookups were also built along the street in order to eliminate the need for noisy generators. Each vendor pays $3,000 a year for a reserved spot and electricity. Plans are underway to build a permanent waterfront promenade on Long Wharf with benches, a bathroom facility, and picnic tables for customers. In addition to Long Wharf, New Haven also has additional designated food cart districts along Cedar Street (in front of the Yale School of Medicine), Sachem Street (in front of Ingalls Rink), and a downtown zone by the New Haven Green. My family and I visited Food Truck Paradise this past August. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've lived in New Haven all my life and this was my first visit to the stretch of food trucks. For as long as I can remember, there have always been food trucks parked here... since way before food trucks became the 'gourmet restaurants-on-wheels' as we know them today. I stopped at the 'Sandwiches El Cubano' truck and ordered their "Original Cuban Sandwich" (ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, mustard, Italian bread). My wife and son stopped at the 'Ixtapa' truck and ordered their "Chicken Tacos" as well as their "Nachos" platter. We also grabbed a couple of Mexican sodas and had a picnic lunch across the street by the water. Everything was so delicious and authentic! This may have been our first trip to Food Truck Paradise but it certainly won't be our last!

I grew up in Tampa where it's argued the Cuban sandwich was invented. The Cuban I got at this food…read moretruck was as good as any I got in Tampa. If you've never had a Cuban this is a great place to fall in love ( with the sandwich). It's on the waterfront in New Haven in a sea of Mexican food trucks. This isn't a criticism of this truck but this area needs picnic tables. Not a fan of eating in my car.

At this year's New Haven Food Truck Festival, my husband insisted that we get a tripleta from this…read morespecific food truck. While there are normally two sizes to choose from, today was just the large size for $10. To be honest, at first I was very ticked that we had to wait so long for our food. Compared to other trucks at this festival, FBT was going particularly slowly, it seemed. However, the wait was worth it. The tripleta was probably my favorite thing we had the whole event. Admittedly, I've never had a tripleta before today, but I loved the flavors of the three meats (ham, pork, and steak) and the mayo+ketchup combination. I didn't want to share! We were also the only people ordering who ordered in English, too, if that's any indication for authenticity.

Not the best experience…read more The service was quick, their truck seems clean. However there's room for improvement. We ordered the Tripleta sandwich which is three meats: chicken, beef and ham with signature ketchup. That was delicious. Price 13.00 I ordered just Mofongo. Very disappointed. They didn't put any pork rinds on it as traditional Mofongo calls for. Price 8.00 for crushed plantains with garlic? Meh at least should of had some lettuce and tomato on the side. Per drinks, their offerings were very limited and if you want Piña Colada (no alcohol) you will pay 8.00. Overpriced. People go to food trucks to do something different and get a taste of their island. However, just because it is a truck, and a business you shouldn't cut corners like this. Not memorable. Take away. The guy that took my order was really nice. Would I drive to New Haven again to stop here. NO.

Wow! This food truck completely blew away my expectations!…read more My girlfriend Miki and I were invited down to try some of there selection. Upon arriving they have great parking compared to almost everywhere in Bridgeport, and the truck and area is extremely clean and well kept. The owner Juan is a genuinely nice guy that explained each dish upon some of our requests and insisted that we try the two legitimate Colombian sodas that they had! Both of which are delicious and we wish they were sold in most grocery stores! The Colombian hot dog, the super Colombian burger, the patacones (my favorite) and the Maicitos(my girls favorite), along with of course an order of arepas. The Maicitos to start we're perfectly seasoned and cheesy without too much going on....except an explosion of delicious flavor. The arepa was loaded with cheese and delicious beef, the patacones has some amazingly seasoned chicken or a perfectly fried plantain, crunchy but not overdone. The burger and hot dogs were topped with pineapple, cheese, a quail egg, 4 sauces, ham, amongst other things that may not sound perfect together.....wrong. Synergistic deliciousness. This is a family run place, and they make you feel like family. Excellent prices, outstanding food, great atmosphere. This is a great casual date place, an awesome hangout with the boys, or just a great place to take the little ones to try another cultures food. Do yourself a favor....get over to the Colombian hot dog. You will not regret it. Tell them Miki and Nick sent you. And for more reviews, check out thehungrycouple.com

Finally made it to Long Wharf to visit the Arepa food truck! For now they are open only Fridays…read moreand Saturdays but make sure you follow them On Instagram because that's where they will post and keep everyone updated with any changes. They have only been open already for 1.5 months. So, today my dad I went to grab a bite specifically at the Arepa food truck.I have been waiting for this moment !! Lol! So happy we did because it was delicious plus always glad we can support! I had an Arepa Rellena( beef) and as extras I added cheese and aguacate. Toppings are extra charge. My dad also ordered an arepa rellena but added cheese and sweet plantains to his . Arepas and Tequenos will come with a side of sauce with It. I wish they had an option on the menu where they had arepa that had everything on it for toppings with the option of chicken or beef and then also keep the other options as adding it separately for those who prefer that way ! So on to the drinks.. we both ordered Chica which is a creamy drink made out of white rice and tastes just like ( Arroz con leche estilo Colombiano ) rice pudding Colombian style. Soo good , it's like dessert but to drink! And my dad had tequenos which I couldn't have since they weren't Gluten-free but he definitely enjoyed eating those cheesy fluffy fried doughy deliciousness of goodness very much! Las arepas were very filling , we didn't wait long for them to come out either . The only thing is that my beef arepa did have some pieces that were kind of cold. No major issue , just wish it was all evenly hot . But that's an easy fix! The food was fresh, flavorful, tasty.. and it definitely filled us up. I just love arepas! The gentleman that greeted us( the owner) was so nice and very friendly!! Must say lunch was really good today!! Check them Out ! Now I know where to go for a stuffed arepa!
