Food trucks used to be convenience food, a last effort to get food in your stomach in the fleeting free moments of a hectic day. But nowadays, trucks are mobile gourmets, dishing up the best bites in a casual setting and luckily, many trucks have Latin food on the menu.

Sante Fe
73 West 71st Street
New York, NY 10023
(212) 724.0822
The décor of Sante Fe is understated, with sand colored walls, a few ethnic artifacts and white tablecloths, but that's not why people visit this popular eatery in NYC. It's all about the food—contemporary Mexican cuisine.

Cienfuegos
95 Avenue A
New York, NY 10009-6107
(212) 614-6818
Who doesn't like great (Latin) food and cool "scene-y" spots? Especially when they're top secret! To enter Cienfuegos, the new Cuban rum bar/restaurant that recently opened in NYC, you have to enter the secretive location through the back of the Carteles sandwich shop. (No, seriously.) Show your ID, hope that there's availability--as its first come first serve--and finally get escorted up the stairs to a place that resembles Candyland/ Barbieworld, only more chic.

A Fish Called Avalon
700 Ocean Drive
Miami Beach, FL 33139-6220
(305) 532-1727
I love Miami. The sexy people, the pool parties, and the warm weather keep me going back. One thing I don’t go for are the restaurants on Ocean Drive, where the employees are practically shoving food in your face to lure you in. However, while visiting the city I was meeting a friend in the area and decided to give this place, A Fish Called Avalon, a try.

Sugarcane
3250 NE 1st Avenue
Miami, FL 33137
786.369.0353
I’m not gonna lie, when I was first invited to this eatery in Midtown Miami I wasn’t too excited. The fact that it wasn’t in the infamous South Beach caught was a turnoff; but I finally decided to take the trip and surprisingly enjoyed my time away from hectic SoBe.
