8 Victoria food trucks you need to try at least once
When festival season rolls around, Victoria comes alive, and so too do our food trucks.
Victoria may be small, but its culinary scene packs a powerful punch, especially thanks to its bustling food truck culture. While some trucks find permanent homes year-round, others burst onto the scene from spring to fall, adding to the city’s flavourful tapestry.
Here are eight of our favourites in Victoria.

Taco Justice is just next door to Greek n’ Go and offers a tantalizing array of tacos, burritos, bowls, and nachos infused with globally inspired flavours, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The best part is that they don’t skimp on the ingredients! The Belly 2 Belly with pulled pork or the creamy Deep Fried Avocado taco for vegetarians is a must-try, and this place caters to any dietary restriction.
