OC Weekly's Food Truck Fridays

Easy and simple with just a few key ingredients, the fish Tacos at A’s Burgers are truly hard to not love. The aioli sauce has a bit of a tang but not so overpowering that it tastes too much like mayo, and there is just the right amount of pico de gallo so you’re not getting a mouthful of lettuce and tomato. The fish itself is cooked perfectly, with savory, sweet and moist in perfect balance. And every fish-taco order is accompanied by chips and salsa to add a bit of spice to your meal

In addition to its namesake, Dosa Place offers an enormous array of Indian dishes. But standing above the rest is the aloo gobi, a cauliflower and potato curry plate that is spiced to perfection, with a kick that’s just hard enough to be satisfying

This Huntington Beach favorite features plenty of options for Breakfast on the go. Always toasted to perfection, the Bagels at Bagelmania are just as good with lox and cream cheese as they are plain. In a hurry? Take advantage of the drive-through—but be aware it can get pretty busy on weekends

You’ll get a pretty great pork Ramen here, but the vegan Ramen may be even better. The broth is ultra-savory, an umami concentrate. Only when you think about it really hard will you even notice it’s meatless. For sure, there’s miso in it, a splash of chile oil and a stock that must have taken years to formulate; but the sum of its parts accumulates into one of the most satisfying Ramen experience oc has ever seen

We’re gluttons for AYCE foods, especially when the deal involves tacos. Avila’s has been a SoCal staple since Salvador Avila opened his first restaurant 50 years ago in Huntington Park. All the other locations—around a dozen—are scattered throughout oc, but the only one to offer a AYCE taco Tuesday is in Newport Beach. Now all you have to decide is chicken or beef?

Make sure to wear your stretchy pants here! There’s enough high-quality brisket, spicy pork belly and short rib to give yourself the meat sweats. The AYCE deal runs you about with a drink, and the soft-serve ice cream is free—if you can manage to eat another bite

The lomo saltado is a popular Peruvian stir-fry of steak strips, red onions, tomatoes and French fries, all covered in a deeply colored soy-sauce broth. This is an essential order at Casa Chaskis, if just for the French fries that soak up all that beef-flavored au jus. It would surely do wonders for a hangover

Delicious minimalism is on lock at 7 Leaves Cafe, which specializes in 12 iced drinks and three types of coffee. The raved-about Mungbean Green Tea is just the right amount of sweet and flavorful—and it goes great with a fresh macaron

Every Cheetos addict’s dream, El Pepino Loco offers a menu loaded with the cheesy cornmeal puffs and chamoy, making you gasp for air and an agua fresca. The fan-favorite Sandia Loca is packed with watermelon, cucumber, oranges, jicama, corn sticks, mango, peanuts and tamarindo straws, all drenched in chamoy. Instagram: @elpepinoloco_714

Sitting at Vaca’s bar listening to the frozen slushie maker hum, we had no idea what kind of magic was inside. A frozen gin and tonic? The Vaca Tonic is so basic, yet so addictive. Gabby Dion’s brainchild is based around Brooklyn Small Batch Gin, Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic, frozen gimlet and basil blossom
