Today was a big day for us at Lloyd. My brother, on his first business trip, was able to visit our main source of inspiration: The Kogi Truck of Los Angeles. It wasn’t easy. L.A. is a pretty big place, however with the help of a cell phone, our brother in law and Google maps, the mission was a smashing success. Thanks to my brother, Giorgio, for getting this picture taken today.

We’d love to see pictures of  Buffalonians who have found other food trucks around the country. Submit them to our Facebook page. By the way, we’ll post pictures of you wearing your Lloyd shirt in front of our truck too. Send ‘em our way!

If you’re not familiar with Kogi, watch this video below. They’re seriously pretty awesome.

As you may have heard, Lloyd is in the shop and needs an engine transplant. We originally planned our grand opening for yesterday, but since that won’t be possible, we’re throwing a party!

Join us this Friday night to keep things going and help save Lloyd. We hope our customers will come so we can give back some of the love you’ve shown us! Tell your friends, bring your family, all are welcome! Grandmas like tacos too.

Tickets are $20 for all you can eat tacos and more! Cash only. We’ll be serving up our specialty grilled corn and churros for dessert. Drinks will be provided as well. In addition to tasty food, there will be prizes, raffles and music featuring DJLoPRO.
After the party Cole’s on Elmwood is offering a $1 contribution for every pint sold between 9pm-10pm that night.

The event is going to be held at Artisan Kitchens

If you had told us 6 months ago that we’d be serving delicious homemade tacos out of a pimped out truck on the streets of Buffalo, NY, we would have told you that you were crazy. Yet here we are, less than a week away from the soft launch of our company, which will be the WNY’s first chance to taste how incredibly flavorful street food can be.

Check out our Facebook and Twitter accounts to be the first to get the inside scoop on where we are going to be what we will be serving that day.
