Buckhead's Tex's Tacos, located at 108 Howell St. NE, is one top choice, with Yelpers giving the low-priced Tex-Mex food truck four stars out of 93 reviews.

Look for the chicken fresca taco and veggie taco on the menu. The Texicana Fries are infused with lime and come with guacamole, pico de gallo and more. You'll also find six different types of quesadillas among the offerings here.

Yelper Jess R. wrote, "The tacos were so good! Let's also take time to appreciate the salsa and chips. When the salsa and chips are good, the rest of the food usually is, too. It's right on point for this place. This is my new favorite food truck."   

2. Blue Donkey Coffee Piedmont Pop-Up

Next, check out the Blue Donkey Coffee Piedmont Pop-Up, which has earned five stars out of 12 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the food truck, which offers coffee and tea and more, by heading over to 541 Park Drive NE.

This spot has several locations in Atlanta. The Blue Donkey's iced coffee offerings include its original and light blends. You'll also find Kyoto cold brew, hot coffee and espressos among the options. This spot also offers a variety of different coffee subscriptions to its clientele.  

Yelper Megan L. wrote, "I have officially developed a ridiculous obsession with Blue Donkey coffee. I always get the Tear Jerker and it is strong and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness."   

3. The Pup Truck

Finally, there's The Pup Truck, a Midtown favorite with four stars out of 33 reviews. Stop by 455 Plasamour Drive to hit up this fusion hot dog truck next time you're looking to satisfy your cravings on a budget.

Try the Bulldog (chili, onions and cheese) or the Schnauzer (sauerkraut and mustard). Sides include mac and cheese, potato salad and more.  

Yelper Lilly C. wrote, "I ordered the Kimchi Pup after being offered a small sample. This Asian girl has to admit it was some of the best kimchi she's ever had. It was a perfect blend of crunch, sweet and spice."
