Food Trucks in Minnesota

Hmong-owned food trucks are a meaningful part of Minnesota's food scene, and they follow different rules than the restaurants in this directory. Menus lean toward what travels and serves fast — grilled meats and sausage, sticky rice, papaya salad, noodle dishes — which is a genuinely different selection from a sit-down Hmong kitchen rather than a shortened version of one. The thing to check before driving anywhere is location. Trucks work festivals, markets, office parks, and private events on a schedule that changes weekly, and many post their week on social media rather than on a website, so the phone number and Facebook link on a listing here are frequently more useful than an address. Summer is the dense season for obvious Minnesota reasons, and Hmong New Year near Thanksgiving weekend is one of the reliable fixed points in the calendar where several trucks turn up in one place.
