Where the Haitian food trucks are in your state 

Americans, particularly those who are part of the millennial and Gen-Z crowds, are finding that food trucks meet their adventurous spirits for world cuisines. These mobile venues pop-up in locations that might not have restaurants and often offer menu items that twist familiar recipes in new ways. And scores of them across America are serving up Haitian food.

With so many Haitians now living all over America, not just on the East Coast, some are bringing the culture with them in the form of food trucks. Others are hungering for such a taste of lakay. To help both, The Haitian Times has started this list showing food trucks serving Haitian food in nearly 20 states, including Hawaii. Some offer catering, brick-and-mortar restaurants, delivery or other Caribbean, Creole or American dishes.

Before you head out to one, be sure to check the food truck’s site, Facebook page or other socials for  up-to-the minute locations and specials. Or, call them.

Bon apeti!
