About Us

Inspired by the abundance of fresh ingredients of the West Coast, owner and head chef, Wil Montano Jr sought out restaurants and street food of every type of food you can imagine to continually try new cuisines and dishes. He scoured farmers markets, butcher shops, and fish houses for the most fresh and flavorful ingredients replicating his favorite dishes and flavor profiles at home. 

​

Realizing life is too short to not do what you love, Wil and his family left California to move back to Indiana where his wife, Katie, is from so they could pursue their dreams of starting their own business. Since then, Wil has poured his heart and soul into creating the Coastal Kitchen food truck.
