What are your must-have mobile munchies? We asked and the We Heart Local BC community answered—loud and clear! There are some passionate food truck aficionados in BC. And while we celebrate all the locally-sourced food trucks, there are some undeniable favourites.

What we love about food trucks is the sheer culinary dedication—small space equals clever creations. So when people flock to a street-side eatery, you know something extra special is being served.

 
Let’s dive in!

Fan favourite: The Funky Goat. Located in Valemount, these guys specialize in handmade burgers, homemade relish and freshly baked buns— a delicious combination to create an optimum burger experience. Bonus points for their authentic Quebec-style poutine.

As Erik M. on Facebook enthusiastically confessed, “The Funky Goat! Valemount! Hands down the best in BC!!”
