Mouth-watering mention: This is a long-time favorite lunch spot among both locals and visitors. They are usually parked in the parking lot near Santa Anna Botica.

Open for: Dinner/late-night grub, 8 PM – 3 AM (Tuesday – Thursday), 8 PM – 5 AM (Friday – Saturday). Their sauces are the real deal and let me tell you, they do not skimp out on them! Tip: Ask them for their “special of the day” and don’t miss out on their Taco Tuesday (you may just get yourself a freebie). Mouth-watering mention: Traditional and super flavorful Mexican made-to-order tacos and burritos.

Open for: Dinner/late-night grub, 7PM – 3 AM (Sunday – Thursday), 7 PM – 5 AM (Friday – Saturday). PS – Don’t forget to ask for extra garlic sauce, it’s potent but well worth it! Their flavor, quality and consistency is unmatched.

Mouth-watering mention: I’ve tried many steak and cheese platters on this island and keep coming back to Candela! More of a seafood lover? Ask for their conch sandwich, you’ll thank me later. Note: Food truck opening hours and locations are apt to change at any time, please contact them directly for more information. Not one for fine dining or simply more of an adventurous, on-the-go type of vacationer? Consider visiting one (if not all.) of these local food trucks for a taste of some of the best local eats in Aruba!
