Philadelphia Is Home To The Best Food Truck In Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA — Food trucks are a fun, different option from the classic night out at a restaurant. There’s a simple satisfaction from having the meal brought to you, and many trucks offer tasty alternatives to normal cuisine.

The Daily Meal recently released its list of “The Best Food Truck in Every State” and Philadelphia food truck took home the top spot in our state.

The food blog considered more than 20,000 trucks throughout the United States and scanned countless reviews from sites such as Yelp, Twitter and Instagram.

At the end of the process, Philly's own Cucina Zapata was named the top food truck in Pennsylvania.

Here's what the Daily Meal says about Cucina Zapata:

Cucina Zapata serves up Thai-inspired tacos and burritos, so you can go ahead and cross that one off of your food fantasy mash-up list. The menu is small but insanely creative and includes Thai short rib tacos, chicken satay tacos, a Cap'n Crunch tilapia burrito, a chicken katsu platter and a veggie burger. Toppings including avocado, cabbage and a variety of sauces to kick the flavor up to the stratosphere. One bite will definitely have you sold.

"If traditional restaurants are like full-length novels, then food trucks are novellas — concentrated and poignant," researchers from the Daily Meal said. "The most successful operations boil a specific type of cuisine down to a handful of signature, crowd-pleasing dishes."
