I don't know much about the business, but it seems like all the food trucks in my area in Colorado are niche foods. Occasionally there are events when food trucks show up at local parks, and there is a wide variety. There is usually several types of ethnic food, a truck or two with food sourced from a local organic farm, and a truck from a local brewery. It seems like food trucks appeal to the type of person who shops at Whole Foods or Trader Joes. In fact I think I remember seeing a truck serving food from peru or brazil, when Mexican food would be less niche. Because Colorado has a bunch of immigrants from Central America and has a number of Mexican restaurants.
