About The Tropic Truck

A hot topic among LA foodies is the transcendent tropical fare you can find at The Tropic Truck! Why wouldn’t it be when they’re servin’ up incredibly fresh seafood, Angus beef, and delicious Caribbean classics like smoked Jerk Chicken, Mojo Shrimp, Slow-roasted Caribbean Pork, and a Polynesian Marinated Steak. Oh yeah!

And with their tasty tacos, salads, and Island Seasoned Fries (we'll take 10 orders), it’s no surprise that The Tropic Truck is the Los Angeles beach’s top pick. They have 3 trucks roaming all over LA serving large events like festivals and corporations, to smaller events like weddings and birthdays. Bring 'em in for light and healthy vegan eats, unreal gluten-free options, and a Lobster and Avocado Quesadilla that'll blow your mind. Don't wait to bring the tropics to your next tailgate!
