Food trucks
in Florida.

Florida's food truck scene is, like the state itself, three or four scenes pretending to be one. Miami is Cuban-and-Caribbean-forward — pressed sandwiches, ropa vieja bowls, mariquitas. Orlando's truck culture grew up around theme-park workers and runs late into the night. Tampa has a serious Cuban tradition rooted in Ybor City. Jacksonville and the Panhandle lean Southern and seafood-heavy. The whole state benefits from year-round outdoor eating weather and a constant influx of new operators trying their first menu on customers who can be charitable. Bring an appetite for fried things and a tolerance for humidity.
