Testimonials

What our clients say

Real feedback from event organizers who booked through Food Truck Club

"

"Our event was held 2 days after the New Year, therefore, I won’t hold it against the company for not replying back to me on New Years. We had a growing number of RSVPs once the new year hit. HOWEVER! The simple fact that my information is shared with the actual vendor, the food truck that served our food, we were able to touch base and add more meals to the totals. Problem solved! I felt that the ease, attention and patience this company shared with me made this overall experience WONDERFUL! In addition- my guests LOVED our taco truck. TACO MAN 512! We had an abundance of Positive feedback about the delicious tacos!"

"Good experience for our event. Expensive. $975 for 20 people, $48 per person. I guess that is what you pay for needing a food truck quick for an event. Also was able to give the crew back some time back to leave for their next event, that they needed to get to."

District Tips

Tips for Booking Food Trucks on South Congress

SoCo's unique character and walkable layout make it a fantastic setting for food truck events. Here's what to know when planning.

Book Around Weekend Traffic

South Congress gets heavy foot and vehicle traffic on weekends. For corporate events, weekday lunches are easiest to coordinate. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for standard events, or 4-6 weeks for First Thursday or holiday periods.

Use Side Streets & Private Lots

SoCo's main strip can be congested. Many businesses have side-street access, rear parking areas, or private lots that are ideal for food truck placement. Let us know your address and we'll find the best setup.

Leverage the SoCo Vibe

South Congress has a creative, eclectic energy that pairs perfectly with food truck catering. Your team and clients will love the authentic Austin atmosphere that SoCo brings to any event.
