Best Street Food In Boston
If you're in the city during lunch hour, you may be wanting to grab something quick and satisfying. There are several different street food vendors who aim to please by way of a pop-up spot or a food truck (some companies offer both). Check out five of the top places to grab some really delicious street food that will not only hit the spot, but that will have you coming back time and time again!

Roxy's Grilled Cheese has joined the food truck ranks, and people just can't get enough. Perhaps the longest lines you may ever wait in, Roxy's has done something so right. Although they only have a handful of options when it comes to making your grilled cheese sandwich, none of the options will disappoint (the Green Muenster is not only a favorite, but its name is super clever).
Cookie Monstah

Back Bay

Who doesn't like cookies?! Who doesn't like ice cream? The Cookie Monstah food truck combines the two into unique sandwiches you have to experience. If you're lucky enough to spot one of these food trucks, you'll want to sprint to the line. No worries, the scent of freshly baked chocolate cookies will keep you occupied while you wait. Whether you want a cookie to go or you want to try one of their creations (The Salty Dog is a favorite -- It's made of salted caramel cookies and totally turtle ice cream), you will not be disappointed. What a treat!

This company prides itself on making fast food fresh. The Clover website says, "We try to keep everything very simple, but very careful.

We make just about everything else every day."
