Food Truck Lineup
One of the attractions at Pier 13 is the myriad of food truck options, and this year is no exception. With a calendar of food truck vendors already lined up for the month, visitors can plan their outings based on their favorite cuisines. Some highlights include Simply Done Vegan, Discodillas, Gringo’s, and many more.
We reached out to Pier 13 for comment on their season’s schedule for confirmation, but from the looks of their food truck calendar, they’re open for the spring and summer months daily.
Amanda Bananas is also on the 2023 list, which serves delicious dairy- and gluten-free ice cream made entirely from bananas and/or mangoes. For a list of other food trucks to scope out in the area, click here.
