At last! The traveling street food phenom has arrived in Boulder and Heather and I have been going digital to figure out where to get our lunch. Because lunch is on the move, and—we hope—coming to a neighborhood near our office.
Two new additions to the Boulder foodie scene are Comida and StrEat Chefs. Both use Facebook pages and Twitter feeds to provide their hungry fans with the daily skinny on where to find their trucks. Each are supplying our neck of the woods with delicious, fresh, ethnic treats that can’t be found anywhere else in Boulder for such terrific prices.
Comida is the reigning queen of mobile “traditional Mexican food using the freshest ingredients and artisanal preparation methods.” Who would have guessed that the slow food movement could be taken on the road. It’s genius! Plus, the truck is hot pink which makes it more fun that toting a cool retro lunch box.
Their flavor combinations are out of this world. Heather is still raving about a meal she had the other day that blew her away. She thinks Comida is making the cleanest, most delicious food in town.
Become a fan of Comida on Facebook or follow their Twitter stream to see what’s cooking today.
As for StrEat chefs, Boulder’s Top Chef Hosea Rosenberg, (winner of Top Chef Season 5) has crafted a menu “inspired by street food found 
across the globe, from alleyways in Bangkok to sand pits on the beaches of Mexico.” And boy has he delivered! Using local ingredients (such as mint from my very own garden), he is turning out tater tots that will quickly become habit forming, roasted corn on the cob that I have more than once made a meal of, and my favorite: a watermelon gazpacho that can be recreated at home and has totally changed my relationship with cold tomato soup.
Find StrEat Chefs on Facebook or follow their Twitter stream to get the 411 on what they’ll be serving where.
Trust us, this delicious bandwagon is worth getting on board. If you are not eating in the Boulder area any time soon, Google “street food” in your town and see if there is something delicious being cooked up near you.
