camioncino chiosco
Da Italiano a Inglese
Arte/Letteratura
Poesia e Prosa
Andrea si ferma lentamente davanti a un camioncino chiosco che sta al margine della strada.
I imagine (but it doesn't say) it sells sandwiches, hamburgers, potato crisps, biscuits, soft drinks, like the ones you see all over Italy.
Mobile snack stand? Travelling snack truck? What are these called?

I don't think there's one standard way of saying this. That's how I'd say it. Here's a pic:

The one in the pic is a trailer, so maybe my "van" option would be best.

catering trailer /catering van conversion
this is the official term for the trailer type kiosks you see along the beach in Italy and at festivals etc. Vans that open up to serve food are usually known as catering vans or catering van conversions.
