Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable food trucks in Tampa, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to meet your needs.
1. Yolk White & Associates
Topping the list is Yolk White & Associates. Located at 100 N. Ashley Drive downtown Tampa, the food truck and breakfast and brunch spot, which offers coffee and tea and more, is the highest-rated inexpensive food truck in Tampa, boasting five stars out of 203 reviews on Yelp.
Yelper James D. noted, "My favorite weekday breakfast spot in Tampa or anywhere actually. This is a one man—owner Dylan— food cart on a small park downtown. Meals are made to order with fresh ingredients and really delicious recipes. Frittatas, egg sandwiches, grits, great coffee, OJ etc. Try something you haven't had before!"
2. Spaddy's Coffee
Next up is South Seminole Heights's Spaddy's Coffee, situated at 5206 N. Florida Ave. With five stars out of 102 reviews on Yelp, the food truck and breakfast and brunch spot, serving coffee and tea and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for a low-priced option.
Spaddy's Coffee, which first opened in 2015 as a mobile coffee cart, is known for its handcrafted coffee, espresso drinks and tea. The site has lots more information about the business and the people behind its success.
According to its profile, "In 2016, owner Greg 'Spaddy' Spadaccini found a great opportunity to set up next to Faedo's Family Bakery. With great acceptance from the community, he transformed a once old grass lot into a relaxing outdoor coffee courtyard!"
3. Los Comparres
Wellswood's Los Comparres, located at 5305 N. Armenia Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cheap food truck and Mexican spot 4.5 stars out of 303 reviews.
Yelper Peter N. wrote, "Some of the most authentic tacos I've tried in the area! Ordered the steak, chicharron and al pastor. The chicharron had a welcoming heat. Al pastor (my favorite of the three) was perfectly marinated, and the steak (slightly dry) was seasoned nicely and loaded with meat. What "up'd" these tacos was the corn tortilla they use. Something about these tortillas made me feel like I was sitting in Mexico City."
4. Sarge's Smokehouse Bbq
Over in North Hyde Park, check out Sarge's Smokehouse Bbq, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 53 reviews on Yelp. Dig in at the food truck and smokehouse, which offers barbecue and more, by heading over to 1500 W. Cass St.
Yelper Brandie M. noted, "The barbecue here tends to lean towards the sweet versus the savory. It's all delicious. The baked beans are rather unique with chunks of meat, a variety of beans and pineapple. Trust me, it really works!"
