The Picky Eater Strategy
1. Declare the trucks — "Pick ANY truck, order ANYTHING" 2. Set the rule — "You have to order something, you don't have to eat it if you hate it" 3. Let them choose — Ownership = more likely to eat 4. Acknowledge the win — "Good trying this!" 5. Keep safe option open — Burgers exist at many trucks
Pro tip: Kids eat more adventurously when they feel in control of their choice.

What About Allergies/Preferences?
Vegetarian kids: Plenty of options - Vegetable tacos, quesadillas with cheese, veggie-heavy bowls - Let vendor know, they'll work with you
Gluten-free: Ask vendors - Many have GF options or can accommodate - Not guaranteed, but most can help
Dairy-free/vegan: Mexican vendors often have these - Bean tacos, veggie quesadillas, rice - Ask and they'll figure it out
Nut allergies: Most trucks don't use nuts - Still ask, confirm with each vendor
Spice-sensitive kids: Ask for "mild" - Most vendors have non-spicy options
