Krishna Lunch SoCal Food Truck — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need).

Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences.

Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied.

But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community.

The meal usually consists of some type of vegan curry, rice and beans, a dessert and a lemonade! You can also purchase samosas and a few other desserts when available! I like how they add the corn tortilla chips on top for those of us who want a little crunch! I’m at UCLA often, so I’ve seen this truck grow over the years but one thing that says consistent is the warmth that radiates from this man every time he hands...

What a fantastic food truck with wonderful food and a delightful owner. As a vegan it is fantastic to stumble into a fully vegan truck/restaurant. Even better, every bite of food was great. I had the 6 item lunch on a Friday, which I ordered due to the vegan Mac and cheese, but I thoroughly enjoyed every component and did not leave a bite uneaten on the entire plate. This food would be more expensive at other vegan restaurants, and it is a gift to have that much great food for only $5 (including a delicious lemonade to drink). I will certainly be back and I highly recommend anyone (vegan or otherwise) check out this great truck ran by legitimately...
