As the very first food truck in Western New York, Lloyd’s Taco Truck has consistently dished out some of the most flavorful street food in the region. Started by childhood friends and entrepreneurs Peter Cimino and Chris Dorsaneo, Lloyd’s delivers complex, fresh flavors at a low price. The truck has generated such high demand in the Buffalo area that Cimino and Dorsaneo now operate three trucks and offer special event catering.
The duo has got everyone in WNY wondering, “Where’s Lloyd?”
