The food truck phenomenon came and went in Oklahoma. It was fun while it lasted, until it became something less than novel and anyone who knew how to make a turkey sandwich and had $30k to buy and outfit a used van came in and flooded the scene. In those humble days of the early 2010's, it was so exciting to eat Gruyere grilled cheese sandwiches made out of waffles that came from a truck with a rattling, noxious gas generator in the back.
Now we've got food halls and too many restaurants to keep up with. However, the city is still stuffed with plucky taco trucks, who were here before the hipster movement came in, and will outlast everyone else. Maybe there is a bad one out there, but I've eaten at more than a dozen and haven't found one. Even though the menus look the same and don't involve arugula or quinoa, each taco truck is special and unique and worth protecting.
