Truck Stop: Mini Trini

What is it? The owners of Calypso (formerly of the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market) went mobile last year with Mini Trini, featuring a simple menu of delicacies from the Caribbean island of Trinidad.

Real street: Owner Iman Marcano said their most popular item is the traditional street food called double. "The same way you buy hot dogs on the street, [double is] what people are selling on the corners in Trinidad," Marcano said. A double is fried dough (bara) filled with curried chickpeas (chana) and featuring a choice of sauces and extra fillings. We favor the mango and hot pepper sauce. Just $5, it's a perfect on-the-go snack.

Hungry? Go for the roti (curried chicken, $11; spinach and pumpkin, $10). They're pricier than most food truck fare but the delicious fillings wrapped in flaky dough are belly-filling.

Why the Indian influences? Trinidad has a high population of East Indians.

Find it: They're trying out permanent spots like 33rd and Arch, and 22nd and Callowhill, but check sites below for daily updates. If you miss Calypso dearly, never fear! It will re-emerge at a permanent location, 7122 Germantown Ave., with an expected opening in the winter.
