Kal & Mooy is the only Somali food truck on the streets of Toronto, and people have taken notice. The samosas are easily the best in the city and the friendly owners make Kal & Mooy a must-try this summer.
Buster’s Sea Cove is the truck to check out if you’re a seafood lover. The truck serves up the best in seafood with menu items like Esenada-Style fish tacos, and Maine-style lobster rolls. Always fresh, and made to order, Buster’s Sea Cove has the sea-food food truck market cornered. Follow them: @busterstruck
Voted the best food truck in Canada, Toronto is lucky that they call this city home! The buzz around Fidel Gastro isn’t just because it was featured on the Food Network.

A city favourite, The Food Dudes offer casual summer eats to festival-goers across the GTA.

Toronto’s first gelato truck Bar Ape isn’t really a truck, it’s basically a scooter. The selection of authentic Italian gelato bars is vast and is always changing, but one thing that doesn’t change at Bar Ape is quality. Look out for the ice cream scooter in and around Toronto this summer! Follow them: @Bar_Ape
Chimney Stax Baking Co. is a favourite food truck among the street food crowd. Come summer festival season, expect to see a huge lineup of people waiting to get their hands on the rotisserie-baked sweet or savoury pastry. Menu items include Mac ‘n’ Cheese, S’mores, Oreo and more.
