From gruyere to double cream brie, the Grilled Cheese Truck puts a new spin on the childhood classic in a big way. Think, gooey-mac ‘n’ cheese-between-toast big. The cheesy goodness doesn’t stop there — let’s talk dessert melts. Craving a nutella and marshmellow on sweet brioche bread? We bet you are now.

What could make a day of rad beats and 90+ degree weather any hotter? Gerard’s Paella, a spicy Spanish dish cooked with rice, saffron, chicken and seafood in a humongous shallow pan. Full of mouth-watering flavor, this bite is worth the extra kick of heat.
3. Buffalo Mac ‘N’ Cheese

Gooey macaroni topped with hot wings and bacon. There’s really nothing more to say here, except that the Lobos Truck seriously knows how to amp up comfort food.
3. Vegan Jamaican Cuisine
