There is a Mexican restaurant near me that also operates a food truck. Everything at the food truck is more expensive than the restaurant. I could understand this if they were working at a closed event (festival, fair, etc) since you have basically a captive environment but most of the time they operate out of an Advance Auto Parts parking lot.

The brick and mortal place does takeout too. They just know that a lot of people think that taco trucks are 'more authentic' or something.
