Word of Mouth Truck

Comfort food on wheels — that’s Word of Mouth in a nutshell. Created by young couple Staci Stewart and Chris Chavez in 2017, Word of Mouth has quickly risen to the top of the vegan food game in Los Angeles. They’ve been a must-try feature at many major vegan festivals, such as Eat Drink Vegan and Vegan Playground, as well as popping up at other hot spots around the city like Row DTLA and Highland Park. They have a concise menu that features indulgent bites, like deep-fried mac and cheese, along with nostalgic entrees, like they’re spicy chicken sandwich, which contains a battered & fried cauliflower steak patty, pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapeños, and a house-made habanero aioli! It’s literal fire. Stay up to date with their events, schedules, and locations by heading to their website and Instagram!

Lettuce Feast

Despite the name, Lettuce Feast is not a mobile salad bar. In fact, it’s more like the opposite, as they’ve got drool-worthy dishes, like their Nashville Hot Chick’n Sandwich and an Impossible Burger stacked with onion rings, barbecue sauce, and melted cheddar cheese. Their food is so comforting, indulgent, soulful, and rich in powerful flavors, you’ll be in vegan Southern-fried heaven.

Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream

Looking for a dessert truck with vegan options? Then Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream’s trucks are your answer. The base of their vegan ice cream comes from cashews, coconut milk, and cocoa butter, which creates a lucious, full-bodied, silky texture that’s never icy. Not all their flavors are vegan, but they’ve still got plenty to choose from.

Plant Food for People

Everyone knows LA is renowned for its taco trucks, but unfortunately, many vegans skip out on the experience because they don’t want to end up with for a rice and beans burrito that may or may not have lard in it. Thankfully, Plant Food for People has got us covered. At Plant Food for People, jackfruit takes the place of meat, where it’s seasoned or marinated in a variety of flavors, differing from dish to dish. But what’s even more special about this unmissable bright blue taco truck than their tacos is the fact that they serve up tortas, which are a little bit like burritos except the fillings are stuffed between fresh, soft, and warm Mexican bread, instead of inside a tortilla. Finding a vegan torta is a rarity, so when you come across on, you’ve got to do everything in you can to get it. With savory jackfruit, tortas, local corn tortillas, fresh pico de gallo, and plenty of salsa verde, Plant Food for People should be at the top of your list of must try Mexican spots. Although they’re typically parked in Highland Park, find out their specific times and locations on their Instagram.
