These days, you don’t have to drive to your favorite sit-down restaurant for a good meal. In fact, you might just be casually walking along the street when you spot a line that wraps around the block. You start to smell delicious food and come across a food truck that is selling high quality, diverse menu items, right on the street corner.
Cincinnati has majorly jumped on the food truck bandwagon, and we couldn’t be happier. And you don’t have to be downtown or in another urban area to enjoy them! You’ll find these tasty trucks all over town, at graduation parties, weddings and corporate events. No matter where you see one, if the line is long, get in it, because the wait will be worth it! We’ve rounded up 17 of the best food trucks in the Cincinnati area.

Grilled cheese never tasted better. C'est Cheese takes a lunchtime classic and turns it up a notch with favorites like the Bee Sting and the Grilled Cheeza.
It doesn't get much better than made-from-scratch Korean BBQ. Red Sesame has the secret to this flavorful style of food, making it one of the most popular trucks in the city.
Take your sweet tooth to Marty's for their famous Belgian sugar waffles. These delicious treats are perfect on their own with a dusting of powdered sugar, but try them with the seasonal fruit topping for an over-the-top experience.

Another truck that is also a brick and mortar location, Cuban Pete has the best Cuban sandwich in town. You’ll often find the line out the door or several people deep at the truck, but the sandwiches are worth the wait.
