Your Guide to Waco's Best Summer Food Trucks
With all the fun things to do around downtown Waco in the summertime, it's no surprise that this is also peak season for local food trucks. You'll find these restaurants on wheels in parks, at local events, and even parked in dedicated spots around town.
We can tell you which ones our real estate agents recommend most. Here are a few of the food trucks near our Waco homes for sale that we think are worth checking out.
Treat Yourself to a Summer Feast at These Top Waco Food Trucks
Spud Wiser
Address: 1402 A N 34th Street, Waco, TX 76707
Spud Wiser's food is not fancy, but it's hearty, surprisingly affordable, and undeniably delicious. Their signature twice-baked potatoes come piled with cheese, sour cream, chives, bacon bits, and your choice of meat – more than enough to fill you up all on their own. If you want a more traditional meal, though, they also sell:
- Hot dogs (these cost less than a drink at most places!)
- Fries and tater tots
- Frito pie
- Sandwiches filled with savory goodies like pulled pork and barbecue chopped beef
- Baskets of meats like sausage links and pork chops served with a side of fries and bread
The Drunken Duck
Address: 424 Franklin Avenue, Waco, TX 76701
If you like your comfort food a little more upscale, you'll love the food served at The Drunken Duck. This food truck takes fast food to the next level with menu items like:
- Juicy smash burgers with beef patties and optional duck confit
- Golden fries fried in real duck fat for a rich, savory flavor you'll never forget
- Poutine made with their signature fries, duck fat gravy, and duck confit
- Fried duck balls, bite-sized morsels of duck meat with a crispy shell
- Fried duck legs with coleslaw, pickles, fries, and a tortilla for easy snacking
Le's Kitchen
Address: 9107 Chapel Road, Waco, TX 76712
Le's Kitchen brings something a little different to Waco's food truck scene, serving up traditional Vietnamese street foods you can eat on the go. You can order:
- Fried rice and sticky rice with eggs, meats, and veggies mixed in
- Fried dumplings and egg rolls with sweet chili sauce for dipping (a particular favorite around our offices)
- Shrimp, chicken, beef tenderloin, or veggie skewers
- Banh mi sandwiches with pickled vegetables and your choice of protein
- Green Thai tea, Vietnamese coffee, and other drinks
The owners also operate a restaurant under the same name on Chapel Road.
Churros' Time
Address: 9107 Chapel Road, Waco, TX 76712
Dessert, anyone? Churros' Time serves exactly what you think they do: hot, crispy churros straight from the fryer. Their current menu features four main items:
- Full-size churros, optionally topped with a scoop of ice cream
