Given Chicago's narrow restrictions on where food trucks can park, finding a meal on wheels can be frustrating for the hungry broker. Fortunately, we've got you covered with today's roundup of the most popular food trucks and the social media accounts where they announce their next stops.
1. Pierogi Street

This Polish eatery and pierogi- and paczki-slinging food truck can be found at its new bricks-and-mortar shop at 1043 N California Ave in Humboldt Park, and on the road at events around the region. They also do catering.
2. Tamale Spaceship
