The food truck scene in PCB is thriving, and the trucks aren’t just slinging snacks—they’re serving up some of the most exciting, flavor-packed meals in town. What’s even cooler? A lot of these trucks are all about fusion—mixing global flavors in totally unexpected (and delicious) ways.
Here’s a look at some of the fusion food trucks you definitely want to track down while you’re in PCB:
Thai Me Now – Bold Thai, Southern Charm
Thai Me Now takes classic Thai dishes and gives them a fun Southern makeover. Think crispy fries loaded with Pad Thai flavors—tamarind, peanuts, scallions, and sriracha—or lemongrass chicken tucked inside a buttery po’ boy bun.
They also serve up dishes like coconut curry shrimp tacos and spicy peanut wings, all packed with fresh, bold flavors and that laid-back beach vibe. For a full list of what they are serving up, check out their menu.
The truck moves around PCB, showing up at food truck parks and events. They regularly park at hubs like Arbor Landing/Mill Bayou, Edgewater Crossings, and events across the PCB area.
