15 Best Food Trucks near Castle Shannon

“Graeters ice cream is my new favorite ice cream! I haven't had a flavor there that I didn't want to eat more of! Also, at this particular Graeters the employees are always kind, personable, and helpful! The last time we were there it wasn't super busy so we asked to try so many flavors before we landed on our orders, and the person helping us was joyful about describing the flavors when we asked and didn't get annoyed at all that we asked to try several things each. Lovely place! Super yummy ice cream!Dietary restrictions: They have a handful of dairy free ice cream options!“

“Was lucky enough to try this truck at the roundabout brewing pop-up. I ordered the chicken tinga quesadilla for $16 and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The quesadilla was massive. It was cut into 4 thick pieces, to fit into the to-go box. Under the quesadilla were fresh tortilla chips and hot sauce. I kept calling the sauce a "salsa" because it was thick and chunky. It was definitely hot! There was so much chicken and chorizo inside of the quesadilla, along with just the right amount of cheese. I really felt like I got my money's worth on this order. The staff were super friendly and my order was up in 10-15 minutes. They were busy though and I'm lucky I caught them early because they did sell out rather quickly, when the place got busy. My friends had the vegetarian soyrizo tacos and said they were flavorful and that the pineapple salsa was delicious. Will be buying from these guys again!“

“I moved out of Pittsburgh and the only thing I miss is Thai Gourmet. It is a treasure and not only the best Thai food in Pittsburgh but the best overall food of all foods. I dream about this place. I'm planning a return visit only to eat here. Cherish every chance you get to eat here. If there is a heaven they serve Thai Gourmet food.“

“Absolutely overjoyed to have authentic mexican in my neighborhood! As I was born and raised in California, I know the real deal when I taste it and everything we had was truly the best I've had in the 18 years I've lived in Pittsburgh! We look forward to when the dining room opens but in the mean time we will continue to take out and try everything!“

“This truck came to the office today and I tried them for the first time. Got the Milanesa Napolitana sandwich which was recommended as a favorite. The sandwich was huge and very flavorful. It came with a side of rice which was a nice suprise. I also got 3 empanada; beef, spinach and 4 cheese. The empanada dough is so light and flakey and all 3 fillings are delicious. Everything tasted great!“

“We got the taco bar as catering for a birthday party and it was fantastic! Everyone loved it and said the tacos were great. We had plenty of good for everyone and lots of great topping options. People even came back in the evening to eat dinner of the chips and dips. It was a real crowd pleaser and we're very happy we did it!“

“They have best tacos I ever had. I went here for first time and believe me, this is my favourite from now.I ordered chicken quesadillas, Hard tacos with rice and beans, with overload veggies. Was so so so delicious.I had another soft tacos by their recommendation. It was also good.And 3 leach is fabulous.Highly Highly Recommended.“

“Incredible samosas!! Best Ive ever had. We contact the owner every couple of months to order 8-10 orders pf them for us and family. She is always very friendly and accommodating. This is in my top 5 best food options in Pittsburgh, no doubt.Parking: Its a food truck so its either in a lot ir on the street. Never had any difficulty parking right nearby“

“Great pop-up experience. The service staff was very friendly and funny to chat with, and the cheesesteak-burger-thing that my partner and I split was really enjoyable. I got the new Zealand hazy to drink and was very satisfied with the pairing, and the view of the river, while not spectacular, was definitely pleasing and we enjoyed our post-dinner walk which I will lump in with the overall experience.“

“El Rincón is my favorite place in Pittsburgh! I've been going to the food truck for a while now, and I'm so happy I could finally make it out to Carrick to try out the new restaurant. The tacos are always fresh, and the carnitas melt in my mouth. I had the agua de piña last night as well, and it was perfect! I love these guys so much; best of luck with the new restaurant :)“

“A foodie’s go-to for street food and takeaway???. This food stand has a real potential to be a phenomenally excellent.No this is NOT A RESTAURANT BUT A FOOD STAND on Pittsburgh’s Strip District. It serves four items: 1) Egg Rolls, 2) Chicken Skewers, 3) Rice noodles, 4) Fried Rice.It has excellent egg rolls, especially the vegetable and chicken rolls???. The rolls are very thickly packed… Flavorful but they taste even better with Hot Chili Oil.The Chicken Skewers are very flavorful. They are NOT KABABS but simple bamboo stick skewers of thin chicken breast strips. They are very well seasoned???… the sauced version actually destroys the natural flavor .There are 2 noodles, both are rice noodles. The one they call “Rice” Noodles are flavorful, with some meat and vegetables mixed in it… This noodle can even be better with more chicken and vegetables.The one they call Pad Thai is NOT true pad Thai. It’s plain flat rice noodles stirred in some soy sauce. ???.DISCOVERY: the otherwise unremarkable flat noodles they call Pad Thai can be rescued by Chicken Skewers in BBQ Sauce with STIRRED IN CHILI OIL and paired with a claret.There’s Fried Rice as well but I can’t recommend. They look very plain.Service is very good.Prices are very inexpensive.Vegetarian options: Vegetable egg rolls indicated.Dietary restrictions: Very limited vegetarian optionsParking: Street parking is tough to find especially in the weekends.Kid-friendliness: Child customers with their parents are commonWheelchair accessibility: This food pop-up stand is on a street alley that is wheelchair accessible.“

“I always get Blowfish BBQ when Hootie pops up at Trace Brewing. It's truly the best BBQ I've had in my life! My usual order is the pulled pork sandwich combo which includes generous portions of vinegar coleslaw and smoked Mac and cheese. The meat is always super tender, smoky, salty, and flavorful. The coleslaw is unique - peppery, spicy, and vinegary. Almost has a pickled vibe to it. If you can't handle spicy foods you may want to skip it, but I love shoveling it onto my pulled pork sandwich. The Mac and cheese is my deathbed meal. Hootie leaves it in the smoker so it has a delicious smoky taste. It is squishy and sooo cheesy, just absolutely delicious and it compliments the meat perfectly. Last time I was there I also tried a smoked chicken drumstick. It was so tender that the meat fell right off of the bone. The spice rub was delicious and resulted in super crispy skin, and the chicken was super flavorful all the way through. They have 6 different sauces you can choose from - BBQ, spicy BBQ, Carolina gold, spicy Caroline gold, hot, and vinegar. I love the spicy BBQ and the Carolina gold, but I recommend getting a few and trying them all! Not a miss in the bunch. Service is walking up to a table and ordering, paying on a square card reader, and getting your food in a to go container. They don't have a physical location that you can go to that I'm aware of, so I just check local breweries food truck menus to stalk down where they'll be! Food goes great with a beer, a patio, and a warm summer evening.“

“oh my God we love this place that's the best homemade ice cream shop in the Pittsburgh area y'all are running neck and neck with scoops and more but you're mainly my choice because you're close to my home and I've been telling all my friends and fellow ice cream lovers about you“

“About a month ago my wife and I were looking for another restaurant which was closed but we drove by this joint so I called at 5:30 on a Friday night and was told they were 100% booked all night. So, I had to investigate. This is a small place with only about 12 tables and a very small bar, I think a 4 seater. We had the greens and beans with sausage. This version had both spinach and escarole and was a solid 4. Our two entrees were the veal and peppers and veal scaloppini both very similar. The veal was cooked perfectly and the the mushrooms were plentiful in the delicious gravy. The portion size was not small but not enormous, my bride was the only one with leftovers. However the coconut cream pie was enormous and amazingly and a true 5! The service was spot on and BYOB. Would highly recommend and return!“

“Great food and good portions. I’ve never had palak paneer with tomato curry before but it was really good. Just what I needed on this dreary Pittsburgh day. Also they had a sign on the truck apologizing for raising their prices. Idk what that’s about because I got a large entree (curry, rice, and naan) and a drink for less than $10 and the food is gonna last me another meal.“
