Wakwak Burger food truck
Whatever your thoughts on Wakwak, you can’t deny that the $2.85 price tag for a burger from this food truck is anything less than extraordinary. It may be simple, but the patty is juicy, the lettuce is crispy, and the bun is soft. If that’s not a recipe for a solid street burger, we don’t know what is.
