On any given weeknight somewhere in Tucson, you can expect to find two or more food trucks parked in a vacant lot/mall parking lot/Little League game.

From some of these heavy metal cruising kitchens emerges cuisine worthy of fine china and starched linen napkins even if it is served on a paper plate with plastic forks.

These are restaurants on wheels, where talented cooks bring to life delicious culinary ideas. They donโ€™t need brick and mortar or a sprawling dining room; they are limited only by the breadth of their imaginations.

So who do you wait in line for? Let us know. We’re compiling a list of food trucks that could be contenders in Caliente’s next Madness competition. Email madness@tucson.com with the subject line “Food Trucks” and tell us which one you love and why.
