Corpus Christi Caller-Times

Since it's spring break, take a minute to appreciate the good things in life: the beach, the bay and flavorful food that's cooked in a truck.

From tacos to cheeseburgers to snow-cones and kettle corn, the region is chock full of "meals on wheels."

Some tips before you hit the food truck scene:

Bring cash or card. Most food trucks have credit/debit card processing available.

Be prepared for a short wait.

Check out the menus before you go to save time.

See if they take orders for pickup (also to save time).

Tip your food maker.
