Damn that is unfortunate. Out of curiosity, what is the population density?

I am in a 50k city in a 300k county. Much smaller and selection plummets and quality and cost get highly variable.

When I lived in a larger city of 2 mil I found the prices to be reliably higher, with quality (sometimes) matching. But Portland OR sort of made a 'thing' about quality street food vs your average street vendor, so my experiences may already be skewed.

Just outside a major city in the southeast, so substantially higher. There's about 50k just in my suburb. Perhaps the food trucks here come from further in the city where prices generally are a bit higher?

I confess, I haven't been very thorough. I just tried a couple and wasn't impressed with the prices, so stopped bothering.
