Dining on wheels has expanded—it doesn’t only feed the hungry, but provides an experience that is not only quick but also entertaining. This was highly evident at the TruckIt Fest on Sunday.

The event, which happens on the first of every month outside Union Station, is a collaboration of 40-plus food trucks as well as private vendors and musicians. Each fest opens at 11 a.m. By noon, this month's line was wrapped around the street—full of anxious customers waiting and anticipating something delicious on wheels. 

In a city like Los Angeles, we’re constantly looking for something delicious to eat on the go. It only makes sense that we would want to buy food from food trucks as opposed to ordering food at a restaurant. The gourmet aspect is just an added bonus… and we are not complaining. 

I was able to try several dishes from different local trucks before the lines became terribly long. Among those were Komodo and Tornado Potato. 

Komodo’s menu consists of tacos and burritos with an Asian twist. I ordered two tacos: the "Komodo 2.0", which is seared steak with jalapeno aoli and Southwest corn salad, and the "Blazin’ Shrimp", a spicy Singaporean-style shrimp with sour Cream Salad and Cilantro. These are not your ordinary tacos; they're bursting with flavor and aesthetically pleasing. 

Next I hit Tornado Potato, and just as the name says, they sell potatoes wrapped around a stick to resemble a tornado. There are various seasonings that you can choose according to your preference. Sweet, savory or plain, the Tornado Potato is a whole different experience than your average seasoned French fries. I recommend the "French Onion Tornado." It stirred a lot of attention on Sunday as people gathered around the truck, curious to get a taste of the spirally fried goodness. 

After eating, I took a look around the other vendors, and came across two interesting trucks stationed near the front. Apparently, it is not just food on wheels these days; other reatailers are joining the mobilized trend and inventing new ideas to engage customers on the go. 

T-Ruck Los Angeles is the city's first original clothing brand sold through a mobile truck.

Similar to this is Le Fashion Truck, which also sells apparel on wheels, but it is more interactive as the inside of the truck is set up like a boutique. On Sunday, stairs leading up to the truck invited customers inside and allowed for an innovative shopping experience.

After the Truckit Fest, I will never underestimate the power of a food truck. These food-mobiles are all listed online and  mobilized within the Los Angeles region. So thankfully you won't have to wait until next month to enjoy the deliciousness on wheels.
