GastroPod is touted as the first gourmet food truck in Miami. Fans swear by Chef Jeremiah's homemade Latin and Caribbean-style food. His old dirt dog - a smoked short-rib hot dog - is legendary. Hours of operation and locations are unpredictable, but look for a customized silver 1962 Airstream motor home roving Biscayne Boulevard near downtown Miami. Hours: Lunch and dinner.

If you love tacos, you'll salivate at the sight of Latin Burger & Taco truck's eight-inch chicken tortilla. It dwarfs Taco Bell's. Then there's the grilled Portobello mushroom sandwich. These eats come courtesy of Food Network host and restaurateur Ingrid Hoffman, part owner of the pink and black truck. It travels throughout Miami and sometimes takes the half-hour drive to Fort Lauderdale. Hours: Lunch and dinner.
