    What should we call food truck connoisseurs—truckies? Well, truckies will be interested to know one Belfast food truck is pulling up their wheels and handing them over to someone else, while another dormant food truck in Rockland will be rolling in this spring.

    Belfast’s Good ‘N’ You, a Mexican-themed food truck run by Sarah Waldron and Seth Whited since 2012, has decided not to re-open this summer. (See our original story on them here.) On their Facebook page they announced, “Running this truck and feeding all you good folks has been an immensely rewarding experience, and we'd like to extend our sincerest thanks to all of our great fans and supporters over the last four years. You truly make the struggle worthwhile.”

    The truck will get a new look and a permanent location at 39 Main St. in Belfast, with the business Wags Wagon serving up sandwiches and salads using local and fresh ingredients. The truck plans to open May 12. Anna Wagner, along with her cousin, Henry Wagner, both have a passion to cook.

    “I had heard through the grape vine that Seth and Sarah were not running their food truck, Good N You, and I decided to jump on it,” said Anna Wagner. “I moved to Belfast about a year ago and have been looking for a way to be part of the community. We are planning to sell sandwiches and salads at the food truck, with a menu heavy on locally sourced meats and cheeses.”

    As for the retired Pho Sizzle food truck in Rockland run by Tom Pham (see our latest story here) the word is, a new Mexican-themed eatery, headed up by Mike Perrin, will open at 3 Buoy Park in mid-May.

    Called Rocko’s Tacos, the newly painted food truck will feature Tex-Mex and tacos. A former cook for Time Out Pub and Waterworks Restaurant, this is Perrin’s first food truck venture.

    “A typical offering would be a blackened haddock taco with tequila lime sauce,” he said. “I’ll try my hardest to make most of it locally sourced.”
