17 Best Food Trucks near Warren

“The Box East Bay is a gourmet taco stand that opened in Warren, Rhode Island in June 2019. It was founded by Matthew King. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, King has 35 years of experience working for a major contract food service facility that focused on the leisure and entertainment segment. Eventually he decided that he wanted to be his own boss. King came up with an idea to develop food trailers that can convert to multiple concepts. For his first project, he intended to sling pizzas on his Italian-made wood-burning oven. His girlfriend convinced him to focus on tacos instead. King's tacos were essentially a hybrid between traditional street tacos and Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas. All tortillas are handmade by himself with a mixture of wheat flour and corn. He converted a vintage former horse trailer into a retrofitted food stand outfitted with a removable wood-burning oven. King cleared out an area on his front lawn to permanently park the trailer. The operation was dubbed "The Taco Box" when it first opened, but by July 2022 it was renamed "The Box East Bay" to reflect its growing menu. My family and I visited The Box this past August while we were driving back home from a week-long trip to Cape Cod. We stopped along the East Bay Bike Path in Warren for a bathroom break and to grab some frozen lemonades from Del's. We looked across the street, saw The Box and thought that some street tacos would make a delicious lunch. We had no idea what we were in for. The food stand is surrounded by a beautiful garden and some picnic tables for customers to sit at. We started off with a plate of "Chips & Pico with Guacamole": something quick to get our appetite going. Then my wife and I ordered the "Shrimp Taco" (wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp, red onion, shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime vinagreta) and "Street Corn Taco" (flame roasted corn, black beans, charred sweet mild chilies, avocado, lime garlic mayo) to share as well as a "Cheese Quesadilla" for our son. We were shocked when we received our tacos. Not only were they huge but they resembled Neapolitan pizzas more than tacos. We folded them in half and ate them like a taco. The tortillas were crunchy and charred on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. These tacos were spectacular; just busting with flavor from the fresh ingredients (some of which were grown right in the garden). We are so happy that we discovered The Box by accident and would definitely stop again the next time we find ourselves in Warren!“

“If I didn't see this restaurant on DoorDash I would have never tried it as the building doesn't look like anything special from the outside. I was so wrong - I ordered the Shrimp Mozanbique, Bitoque, and Calamari - everything was cooked perfectly and truly delicious. I'm so glad I decided to try this place and I'll be ordering again in the near future.“

“Excellent food. The children and the adults really, really liked the hamburgers, the chips and the cookies. The service is very kind. All the saleswomen and cooks are really cool. Great location next to the great Pivotal Brewery, and you can bring food from Basil & Bunny to the brewery. Truly one of the best American vegan restaurants!Vegetarian options: Excellent and perfect.“

“We had an incredible experience with the daughter of the owners of this business. She is an amazing, brilliant beautiful young girl who clearly demonstrates how bright her future is! Added bonus - the food was delicious! We will definitely find our way to their restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“I love chicken sandwiches and Ming's has large chicken sandwiches with tender and juicy meat. Ming's is a take-out spot although the shop has two tables with some seating inside. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Orders usually take under thirty minutes. The prices may seem a bit steep but the portions are large and the food is delicious. Be sure to try the Ming' N Out Fries which include caramelized onions and burger sauce.“

“Visited the smaller Swansea location of this business for the FOOD FIGHTS wing event. The person behind the counter was super excited to greet us and tell us all about their wings and other food options. They sold me on the Portuguese wing sauce, and it was a hit. The garlic parm was probably one of the best I've ever had. It's one of the flavors that I often try when I go out for wings, and this one was top-notch. It was sweet and buttery, while also super nutty and salty from the Parmesan cheese. I definitely look forward to trying out their other location!“

“On top of just being a gorgeous space worth spending time in, the food AND beverages are superb, and the staff so kind. Most importantly, the fish is fresh and delicious. Couldn’t want more from any poke spot.References: haven’t been to Hawaii, but can safely say this is better than at least majority of the poke you can get in NYC.“

“Loved having them host our post-wedding day brunch! Tim was a pleasure to work with and was really open to our brunch themed menu, tailoring it perfectly to what we imagined being able to offer our guests after our big day! Our guests loved being able to have the food truck available to order from right on the spot! Can't recommend enough!“

“We hired Jay for a birthday party we held at our home. He was terrific throughout the entire process. Jay was responsive, flexible with our party size, accommodating with special food requests, and he was even early. All of our guests raved about the food and the entire experience. Would book this again in heartbeat. This is a fun alternative to traditional catering for any private party or corporate outing.“

“We hired the Sarcastic Sweets food truck for a large client event we were throwing, and it ended up being the cherry on top of a perfect evening! Not only were the desserts a huge hit (the lemon cupcake served "everything" style was my personal fav), but Nina was a delight work with! if you've ever tried hiring food trucks for an event, you are well aware how complicated it can be (if you're lucky to even get a response). Nina was prompt with replies, professional, and gave us great options for the event itself. She may need to consider a name change, because instead of sarcasm we had some of the best customer service I've ever experienced! Clients and business partners of ours were raving about the food and how warm and friendly the service was. Nina, thank you for making our event extra special!“

“Who doesn't love a good burrito bowl? Seriously the best comfort food lately! We were in the area and looking for something quick and delicious for dinner. Yelp helped us find The Burrito Bowl Express. The toppings were so fresh, and absolutely everything was amazing! Probably one of the best burrito bowls there is! With any topping and protein you could want, there is plenty to choose from! So get in here and load up your bowl creation today!“

“OMG stopped for steak sandwiches to take home and so glad we found this gem of a restaurant. Hands down the best steak sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Bread was fresh and soft. Steak was cooked to perfection, no fatty stringy pieces, just delicious tender steak, seasoned just right. Can’t wait to go back and try another sandwich!!!!“

“One of my favorite places to grab a bite after a night out. Haven Bros is a Providence icon and have tons of pictures with celebrities that have stopped by. They operate out of a roomy food truck parked next to City Hall. Their menu is the basic late night drunk food, with burgers, hot weiners/dogs, chicken tenders, fries, and shakes. The shakes are delicious, they have pretty my h every flavor you can think of and in my opinion are the best part of the menu. Their food is usually satisfying, can be a bit hit or miss and is definitely a little pricier than it should be. Overall, a good spot to hit after a night out, and one that you should at least stop by to see if you’re in Providence.“

“Oh my husband and I LOVED this place!!! This is an amazing concept! Dangerous for those who are health conscious like myself.. but this can be a really good treat once few weeks! We ordered a Disco Dottie and an Alleycat. It’s were delicious, we had to take them home because it’s a lot, but heat them in the oven and they were still delicious the next day!“

“Si no quieres cocinar o no sabes que comer te recomiendo este lugar la comida es deliciosa y se come tan a gusto porque el ambiente es agradable lo atienden de lo mejor si llegas te lo aseguro que no te arrepentirás Dios te bendiga y que tengas un bendecido.“

“What an incredible experience! So delicious, so fresh, so creative, down to earth, phenomenal food served so hot and proper. Being a sucker for Jamaican cuisine, I absolutely had to have Ja Patty at my family’s Labor Day bash. When the truck rolled in and the grills got fired up, I knew this was going to be a treat. Celebrating with around 150 friends and family is made better with top notch food. When the crowd raves of the flavors, the choices, the tantalizing smells, and you hear comments like “those are the best wings I have ever had” or “this is the best food I have had at your party ever!” You know you made the right choice. With all of my soul, I genuinely appreciate how hard Alison and Conroy worked to make their food an absolute standout, so thank you! Ja Patty for the win. It was the best.“
