Truck 3 - Off the Wagon Travelling Tacos

Truck: Off The Wagon Travelling Tacos
Location: Burrard and Dunsmuir (1000 Dunsmuir St, Vancouver).  You can also find them at the Vancouver Farmer's Markets.
Type of Food: "A Mobile Taqueria with a focus on fresh, local flavours."
Sidekicks: Melissa aka "Secret Sidekick" and Mari 
Food Ordered: 

  • Tara - 2 Tacos - 1 Beef Brisket with Jalapeno Slaw and 1 Pastor - rotisserie pork with Pico de Gallo 
  • Melissa - 2 Tacos - Roasted Yam & Black Beans (Vegan)
  • Mari - 2 Tacos - Pastor (see above for description)
The Verdict: After we got over how we were going to eat the tacos without a fork and without making a mess and we took our first bites, Mari exclaimed "Wow!"  This pretty much summed up the scrumptious experience that occurred when we all took our first bights.  My only complaint was that iI could have eaten at least 2 more as the portion sizes were a bit small for what I needed for lunch.   


If local, gluten free and vegan options are what you are looking for as a lunch choice definitely try this cart!  If you are looking for smaller portions then this truck is for you!  Unfortunately, compared to the other trucks we've tried so far the value for your money is not quite as good.

Favourite Thing About This Truck: All of the ingredients are local.  This cart also puts an emphasis on recycling including having a green can for composting.
Accessibility: Right outside the Burrard Street skytrain station on Dunsmuir. 
Rating: ****/5
Value:  ***/5
