Check out one of these must-try food trucks, provided by Thrillist. Perfect for a quick bite on a nice summer day!

1. Lilos Plates

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: Loco Moco and Chicken Island Curry
It’s about time somebody brought Hawaiian food to Boston, right? One of newer food trucks on the block, Lilo’s Plates serves Hawaiian dishes like Chicken Island Curry and Loco Moco, a Japanese-style burger served with beef gravy and a fried egg, as well as rotating specials like Spam musubi, a popular Hawaiian snack made with Spam, nori, and rice.

2. The Cookie Monstah

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: The Salty Dog (salted caramel cookies with turtle ice cream)
The real magic behind The Cookie Monstah is that it pairs freshly baked, chewy cookies with an array of decadent ice creams from Richardson’s Farm, and the result is an over-the-top ice cream sandwich. Cookie types alternate, but you can’t go wrong with its signature chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, or red velvet with white chocolate.

3. Clover

Where to find it: Location(s)
What you're getting: The Egg and Eggplant sandwich with rosemary fries
Everything about Clover, from the trucks’ decor to the recyclable paper packaging, screams simple and no fuss, and that’s the approach owner Ayr Muir has taken with his vegetarian empire since it launched in September of 2008.  Menus change seasonally to incorporate available produce and include dishes like just-debuted Panella sandwich, which’s made with chickpea cake, Kalamata olives, and fennel.
