Welcome to another week of food truck favorites. Hungry? Good! Let’s chase down some Peruvian and Italian dishes, then finish up with some good ol’ American soft serve ice cream.
Bugaloo’s Ice Cream Shoppe
This family-owned food truck is a cute white buggy with a sweet surprise: light and luxurious soft serve ice cream.
- Best Seller: Combine vanilla soft serve, hot chocolate sauce and sliced nuts and you’ve got Bugaloo’s take on the well-known Hot Fudge Sundae.
- Recommended: Who can resist a yummy Turtle Sundae? Secret menu seekers should ask for this one on a waffle cone.
- Where to Find: Find Bugaloo’s at the Northwest Farmers Market at the corner of La Cholla and Orange Grove on selected days, and at other public events.

Don Pedro’s Peruvian Bistro
Formerly a Tucson-area restaurant, Don Pedro’s now brings its fusion cuisine curbside. Highlighting spice and international flair, DP’s incorporate flavor profiles of the Incan diet, as well as menu mainstays from Europe, Asia and Africa.
- Best Seller: The Lomo Saltado features tenderloin beef or chicken, with homemade French fries, tomatoes, onions, green onions, and a side of white rice.
- Recommended: You must try the Aguadito Soup. It’s a hearty cilantro-based chicken soup, with rice, peas, and carrots and Peruvian corn.
- Where to Find: Don Pedro’s is parked at local food truck round-ups, selected brew pubs, and occasionally at its south side location at 4101 S. 12th Ave on scheduled dates.
