No Tomatoes! Truck Opens Restaurant

Guzzle & Nosh

The No Tomatoes! truck and restaurant.

No Tomatoes!, the Indian food truck (@notomatoestruck) with the incongruous name, is the latest mobile eatery to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. In early October, the No Tomatoes! cafe opened in the corner of a popular strip mall just south of the Beverly Center. Despite the highly trafficked location, that particular nook in the hard-to-see corner of the strip malls seems cursed. It was previously occupied by Crepe Republic and before that by a short-lived outpost of Brats Brothers. Let's see if Indian food does better than crepes and sausages.

Other food trucks that have opened brick-and-mortar restaurants:

• Fukuburger opens in Hollywood.
• Earlier this month, The Gastrobus (@thegastrobus) opened Gastronomico, a restaurant on Hillhurst.
• Komodo Opens in Kosher Corridor.
• Flying Pig Opens in Downtown L.A.
