Meet Chefs Lauren and Nelson In fall of 2015, Chef team Lauren and Nelson decided to join their culinary experience with their cultural roots and thus The Tropic Truck was born. Taking influence from Southern Floridian Caribbean Fusion and Central American traditional recipes. The husband and wife duo developed a uniquely fresh, healthy, and creative true Caribbean Fusion Menu. Both Chefs have over two decades of experience in Commercial Kitchens in Los Angeles where they cooked everything from artisan pizza to gastropub fare to Valencian cuisines and even entire vegan menus. Their dream was to make healthy, fresh, and tropical food accessible. What started as a tiny rented lunch truck with a hand made menu has evolved into a Los Angeles phenomenon. After, mastering the technique of serving smaller scale private lunches they evolved quickly to large scale events and high volume festivals and the second chapter began. In 2017, the second Tropic Truck opened specializing in Corporate Catering and Large Volume Catering. The customized high end industrial kitchen allowed for the capability to serve more people, faster, and fresher food. In 2021, the third Tropic Truck opened specializing in outdoor food truck catering Now with the powerhouse of three trucks, one focusing on large scale events, conventions and festivals, the second focusing on corporate and large scale catering, and the third making it possible for The Tropic Truck to be in three locations at once.
