What's included with Houston taco truck catering?
Most vendors include proteins (typically 2-4 options like al pastor, carne asada, chicken, and carnitas), fresh tortillas (corn and/or flour), toppings (cilantro, onion, lime, salsas), and sides like rice and beans. Many also offer extras like chips, guacamole, queso, and agua frescas. We'll confirm exactly what's included when you request quotes.
What's the typical cost to book a taco truck in Houston?
Most Houston vendors charge $12-18 per person for full service, with minimums typically ranging from $500 to $1,500. Breakfast service often runs slightly less. Pricing varies based on protein selections, sides, and service duration. We'll provide quotes from multiple trucks so you can compare options that fit your budget.
How far ahead should I book for a Houston event?
Book 2-4 weeks out for smaller events and 4-8 weeks for large gatherings. Spring and fall are peak seasons in Houston when trucks book up quickly—plan 6-8 weeks ahead during these times. Cinco de Mayo and other holidays require extra advance notice. The sooner you reach out, the more options you'll have.
Can vendors accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Most Houston vendors offer vegetarian options, and many have dedicated vegan proteins like jackfruit or plant-based meat. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free. For severe allergies, trucks can often modify their setup to prevent cross-contamination. Let us know your needs when requesting quotes and we'll match you with appropriate vendors.
Can I book for breakfast service?
Absolutely. Breakfast catering is hugely popular in Houston. Trucks serve classics like eggs, bacon, chorizo, potato, and bean & cheese with fresh tortillas and house-made salsas. Perfect for morning meetings, brunch events, or wedding day prep. Many vendors offer both breakfast and lunch service for all-day events.
What areas do Houston vendors serve?
Most trucks serve the entire Houston metro including downtown, Heights, Montrose, Energy Corridor, Sugar Land, Katy, and The Woodlands. Coverage extends throughout Harris County and beyond.
Can trucks handle late-night events?
Yes! Houston's late-night food culture thrives after midnight. Many vendors operate 24 hours or offer late-night service for wedding after-parties, concerts, and corporate events that run into the evening.
What's the difference between birria and street-style?
Birria features slow-braised beef in a rich, spiced consommé. The tortillas are dipped in the beef fat, griddled with cheese, and served with the flavorful broth for dipping. It's Houston's most requested specialty.
Do vendors provide salsa and toppings?
Yes. All trucks include house-made salsas (typically verde and roja), fresh cilantro, onions, limes, and radishes. Many offer specialty sauces, pickled jalapeños, and premium toppings.
Can I book multiple trucks for variety?
Absolutely. For large events, booking different specialists (street-style, birria, breakfast) gives guests variety. We coordinate multi-truck events regularly for festivals and corporate gatherings.
