Krishna Lunch SoCal Food Truck

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

I’ve eaten at this truck several times since it’s been open and what I love most is the concept. A place where college students and the public can purchase a healthy balanced vegan meal for a mere $5 donation! I should also note that I’ve seen students who didn’t have it receive their meal free of charge! And the guy running the truck is the sweetest, his energy is so loving- you can can tell he genuinely loves what he’s doing. 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 w
