Food Truck
At Mountain Lotus Provisions, we bring the spirit of our kitchen out into the community. Our food truck and mobile kitchen source directly from local small farms throughout the Sierra, moving with the rhythm of the seasons and the flow of mountain life. We deliver mindful, seasonal cuisine wherever you gather, whether at a public event or a private celebration. Each dish reflects our commitment to slow food values: honoring the hands that grow our ingredients, celebrating our mountain home, and creating meaningful connections through nourishing, delicious meals.

What people are saying
-
"I was lucky enough to get dinner here one night while in Tahoe for winter wondergrass. Easily the best burger I’ve ever had! I can only hope for something similar to come to Denver someday. I had full intentions of taking a picture of the bun mi burger before I ate it, but it went down too quickly!"

"Is this place for real?! I mean, when I read that two people have rated this place as the best food in Truckee, I thought, no, you exaggerate! But alas, I tried the Meatless Monday menu for the first time and I was floored. This IS BY FAR the best food in town! Hands down!"

"My go-to for healthy, vegan and super tasty food served by friendly and helpful staff. They have a little outdoor garden area and you can eat your yummy food to the tranquil sound of the river. Easy to walk to from downtown. Worth a special trip."
