Bahrain This Month tells you about 5 of our favourite food trucks that you absolutely need to try.
Senor Churros
Dessert in any shape, size or form is a big, giant ‘YES’ for us. However, one thing we’re really glad has made its way to Bahrain is the deliciously warm, crunchy yet soft delight that is churros! Senor Churros now has a food truck in Sanad on Estiqlal Avenue -which is quickly becoming a hub for food trucks in the Kingdom. They serve their classic churros in different sizes to be dipped or stuffed with a variety of mouth-watering sauces including salted caramel, kinder, pistachio and Nutella. There’s nothing quite like a warm churro dipped in Nutella to fix a bad day, mend a broken heart or just put you in a good mood.

One unique food truck that has popped onto Bahrain’s food scene is The Fruit Guys! It’s the perfect stop if you want to end things on a sweet, yet healthy note. They serve a variety of freshly chopped fruit including mango, watermelon, sweet melon, pineapple, pomegranate and more in a range of sizes. They also serve a couple of desserts including mini pancakes topped with chocolate or can top off any of your fruit selections with some decadent chocolate sauce.
