Trio’s Truck – Extreme Mac and Cheese: Vancouver’s Cheesiest Food Truck Experience

If there’s one food that screams comfort, it’s mac and cheese. And if there’s one truck that takes it to an entirely new level of indulgence, it’s Trio’s Truck – Extreme Mac and Cheese, a mobile culinary powerhouse rolling through the streets of Vancouver, British Columbia. Known for turning a humble dish into an art form, Trio’s Truck is the ultimate destination for mac and cheese lovers looking for bold flavors, generous portions, and creative toppings.

Meet the Trio Behind the Truck

The heart and soul of Trio’s Truck are Brad, Krista, and their son Cole—a family from Saltair, B.C. Their journey began in 2015 when they decided to embrace a life of adventure by selling most of their possessions and setting sail on a 42-foot catamaran named Saltair3. To fund their travels, they launched Trio’s Truck in 2017, bringing their passion for food and community to the streets of British Columbia.

From Classic to Extreme – A Menu Built for Cheese Lovers

At its heart, Trio’s Truck offers a creamy, perfectly balanced three-cheese sauce that forms the base of all its mac creations. What makes this food truck special is the endless variety of loaded mac and cheese options, designed to satisfy every kind of craving—from savory BBQ to spicy Mexican fusion and even sweet-salty combos with waffles.

Here are some of their most popular menu items:

• Trio’s Classic Mac & Cheese
  The foundation of it all: a rich, smooth cheese sauce coating tender elbow macaroni, paired with a side of their signature house-made coleslaw.
• Piggy Back Mac
  A fan-favorite topped with tender pulled pork, crispy fried onions, a tangy pickle spear, and their zesty aioli. It’s smoky, creamy, crunchy, and absolutely satisfying.
• The Mac-xican
  A fusion twist loaded with taco-seasoned beef, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, jalapeños, sour cream, and tortilla chips. Think nachos meet mac and cheese.
• Lobster Mac
  A luxurious option with buttery lobster chunks and crispy onions—elevated comfort food that feels right at home on the streets of Vancouver.
• Mother Clucker
  A southern-inspired masterpiece featuring a BBQ-fried chicken leg, a warm Belgian waffle, maple syrup drizzle, and a scoop of creamy mac. Sweet, savory, and bold in every bite.
• Hangover Helper
  For the brave of heart (or the hungriest of stomachs): mac layered over crispy fries, topped with bacon bits, tomatoes, green onions, a sunny-side-up egg, and Trio’s aioli.
• Kids’ Mac Meal
  Smaller but just as tasty—includes a child-sized mac, a drink box, and a homemade cookie.

Every dish comes with a generous helping of signature coleslaw, adding a crisp, tangy balance to the richness of the mac.
