Today, I went with my family to Food Truck Station in Hipódromo de Palermo, Buenos Aires. It was great to see creative food truck designs and have a taste of gourmet fresh food at accessible prices. From Mexican tacos to African sandwiches, from crepes to smoothies and everything in between, there is a choice for everyone.
The food truck revolution arrived to Buenos Aires and seems to be here to stay. This trend originated in in 2008 when economic crisis struck the US and chef started to offer novel, inexpensive foods on wheels to customers in cities across America. But it´s not only about costs, with an eye toward wholesomeness and sustainability, a taste for local ingredients, and sophisticated use of social media food trucks are a trend that’s still gaining speed. In Buenos Aires, food trucks and street food carts are not new. Carritos (little trucks) of the Costanera (River Plate coastline) are famous for their meat and chorizo sandwiches (choripán). But, food trucks are not allowed to park on Buenos Aires streets..yet. They only are showing up in events and festivals, like the one I went today. There is an antique law that doesn´t contemplate this kind of food trucks. By now you have to follow food trucks on social media to know where they are.
