Houston's ever-evolving food truck scene gets better each year. From new fusions to updated Americana classics, there's a truck for every discerning taste. With fall's arrival, it's the perfect time to dine alfresco . As the city turns over a new leaf, we've picked nine new food trucks you should check out this very moment.
1) Wokker TX Ranger - A play on the 90's television show, Walker TX Ranger, Wokker TX Ranger would make Chuck Norris proud. It's been kicking ass and taking names with its Southern meets Asian Fusion concept since its September debut. They're frequently found at 811 Studewood serving bonito brussel sprouts with pickled golden raisins, tamarind ribs and occasionally 24 hour sous vide pork belly sliders.

2) Yaki Snack Attack - After getting its start at Glitter Karaoke and Grand Prize Bar's pop-ups, Yaki Snack Attack now roams the streets of Houston. Japanese fare from the menu includes a sake bombed chicken karaage, a steamed milk bun filled with pork belly, tomago paper, unagi sauce and cucumber with lotus root and sweet potato chips as sides.

3) Gyro King - One of the few food trucks catering to halal meat eaters, Gyro King has been a refuge for food truck lovers seeking this specialty. Found in a Chevron gas station parking lot on the outer skirts of The Medical Center since July, the truck's menu includes falafels and gryos served as sandwiches, salads and over rice. Fresh vegetable and fruit juices are also on the menu.

4) Fat Wagon - Nearly a year after expanding to Sugar Land, Fat Bao, has gone mobile. Known for its baos and ramen at its brick and mortar restaurants, the truck opts for interesting rice bowl instead. Fill up on kimchi pork belly bowls that includes kimchi butter and watermelon or the coffee curry brisket bowls.

5) SUMO Supreme Hot Dogs - Technically it's not a food truck, it's a cart that sells hots dogs. But this isn't your ordinary hot dog cart. Ladybird Food Truck's chef Adrian de la Cerda is crafting Japanese-inspired hot dogs with locally sourced ingredients. Go for the kimichi dog with hill country smoked sausage, kimchi, chives and spicy aioli or tackle the Tokyo dog - a bacon wrapped Kobe frank topped with smoked goat cheese, cucumber, jalapeno, kewpie mayo, unagi sauce and bonito flakes.
6) Ripe Cuisine - This farmer market vendor turned food truck -successfully funded through Kickstarter- offers a healthier and vegan option. On the menu: maple and tahini dressed kale salad and hearty sandwiches like the bistro burger (organic lentil and mushroom patty topped with lettuce, tomato, cashew cherve, roasted red pepper aioli and balsamic carmelized onion) or the better than blt (housemade dill ranch, black peppered maple tempeh bacon, tomato, lettuce and tomato jam).

7) Maine-ly Sandwiches - With restaurants located in Greenspoint, River Oaks and Kingwood, Maine-ly Sandwiches now services food truck goers longing for East Coast style lobster rolls. Fresh flown-in lobster from Maine, delicate and sweet chunks of lobster dressed in mayo on a toasted roll is sure to please. When the temperature begins to dip further, a piping hot bowl of clam chowder should help to keep warm.
