Will Turner's Blaxican food truck and restaurant are in the finals to be named best food truck restaurant in the country for 2015.

Mobile Cuisine is searching for the best food truck restaurant in the country, and Atlanta has a truck in the race -- and it's winning.

Will Turner's Blaxican leads the poll, with nearly 40 percent of the vote. Today is the last day of the poll.

"Blaxican" is a slang word used to describe biracial people of Mexican and African-American descent, and Turner says on his website that it was the perfect word to describe his Mexican soulfood fusion.

But Blaxican serves more than just collard green quesadillas and barbecue sweet potato fries. Using tips received on the food truck and donations made on the website, Blaxican said it serves the community by helping to feed people at a number of Atlanta shelters.

The winning food truck restaurant will be profiled at Mobile Cuisine and will hold the title of Best Food Truck Restaurant for 2015.
