With a plethora of picnic tables by the beach and increasingly bad traffic, it’s like this island was made for food trucks. Like catching sight of the ice cream truck as a kid, finding a fabulous food bus on the road seems like a stroke of luck. In case your stomach is too loud to wait for the wheel of fortune, here is where you can find Guam’s greatest food trucks in the wild.
MoSa’s Hotbox
Put this in your mouth. MoSa’s Hotbox was a dream brought to reality by opened by childhood friends childhood friends Monique Genereux (Mo) and Sara Pleadwell (Sa). Besides 6 oz versions of their award-winning burgers and gyros set on the island’s softest pita bread, the Hotbox has daily rotating specials. These are not food plates for the “kind of hungry,” plan to chow down and save the rest for later.

The Spot
If you’re looking for a home-cooked meal, look no further than the Spot, which is parked in the owner’s front yard.
