Nomadic Eats, an Asian fusion food truck located at 222 W Main St, Pensacola, has quickly become a beloved culinary hotspot. Customers rave about the vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients that draw them back week after week. The Mojo Chicken Rice Bowl nearly steals the spotlight, but many agree the true standout is the exceptional Horchata, touted by Pamela as one of the best she's ever tasted.
Erica L. Mack, a loyal patron, appreciates the consistency and quality behind the food. She shares her admiration for the Hot Chicken Rice Bowl, paired perfectly with collard greens, emphasizing the friendly service that highlights her weekly visits. The customizable bowls cater to a spectrum of tastes, as noted by Anastasia Reyes, who enjoyed a well-balanced dish featuring coconut jasmine rice, black beans, and salsa roja.
With an invitation to explore new flavors during a brief seasonal closure, the owner’s dedication to culinary artistry is evident. As Vincent Martin dramatically declares, the food here is nothing short of transcendent—the best chicken this side of the Mississippi. Every bowl is affordably priced at around $10, making Nomadic Eats an unbeatable option for lunch or a quick dinner. For foodies in Pensacola, this food truck is not to be missed!

Great food and drinks! I got the mojo chicken rice bowl, which was great, but the real star of the show was the HORCHATA! Sincerely one of the best I've ever had.

Still a regular at the food truck - at least once per week. My favorite is the hot chicken rice bowl with collards. Food is always prepared fresh and tastes absolutely amazing. Service is friendly and excellent. My only problem, which is NOT a real problem, is they close in August so Randy can travel to explore other countries and bring back all these new and amazing flavors to enjoy when they reopen in September (can you hear the envy).

A food truck that serves international-inspired cuisine! Nomadic Eats provides a simple menu with customization options available for the bowls! Atmosphere: Stationed in Downtown Pensacola, you can walk over to the food truck if you’re in the area! They don’t have a lot of seating outside, but you can sit inside the building that the food truck is stationed by. Service: The service was quick, and the workers were the ones who recommended for us to find seating inside! Menu items: I got a rice bowl with Mojo Chicken on top! Each bowl had the following ingredients: coconut jasmine rice, black beans, salsa roja, lime verde, pickled onion, and fried shallot! Aside from their everyday rice bowls, they also serve a Hot Chicken Rice Bowl, tacos (only served on Friday’s and Saturday’s, and sides (Fried Rice Balls pictured)!

Not to be dramatic but I’d crawl over broken glass to eat this food everyday. Owner is great guy, food is INCREDIBLE. Quite literally the best chicken this side of the Mississippi, I’m convinced of it. You can’t go wrong eating here. If you haven’t been, you’re basically living in the Matrix. Take the red pill, trust me on this.

Amazing food from a food truck. Would think a 5 star restaurant costing a fortune. We ate the Hot Chicken Bowl and was amazing. We will definitely go back to try other menu items. Everything only 10 bucks. Best lunch around!!

We love the new menu, the new fried chicken and veggie rice is amazing. Bonus points it’s gluten free so my girlfriend can finally have fried chicken with me

My wife and I ate lunch at Nomadic Eats food truck today. We both had the chicken sandwich (mild). It was the largest portion of chicken I’ve ever seen in a sandwich and the best tasting chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Jeff

Delicious hot chicken bowl. The beans and rice are hidden under all the fried chicken and sauce. They are assembled just right, not too salty, big flavor.
