Food Truck Invasion

Few weeks back we went to the Food Truck Invasion up off of Okeechobee Blvd. It takes place every 1st and 3rd Thurs of the month and alternates with the trucks in Wellington which are every 2nd and 4th Thurs. There are about 10-12 trucks and the options range from Vietnamese to BBQ to various fried options and if you have a sweet tooth there is also a frozen yogurt truck.
We tried the Vietnamese truck and had their Banh Mi with pork (spicy). First of all, I love Banh Mi and this version did not disappoint. They had fresh carrots and daikon and cilantro on top of savory pork and threw in some jalapenos. Nice fresh flavor, a must try.
We then tried the BBQ truck which featured their pulled pork sandwich and a beef brisket. To be honest, I would recommend picking the pulled pork over the brisket. The pork had a nice moistness to it and you could pour whatever sauce on that you like. The brisket was too heavily sauced and was not quite as satisfying. Im not sure if it comes unsauced or not, but if it does, it may be better.
My friend had some frozen yogurt but from all accounts, she was not overly thrilled. So I guess try it if you are craving some but if not, keep it moving.
Overall, we had a good 1st time but my main criticism is that a majority of the trucks shut down with over an hr to go. Im not sure if this is a common occurrence or just a fluke. Will try it again and see what happens.
