FAQ

FAQs: San Antonio Private Event Food Truck Catering

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

Can food trucks serve at private homes in San Antonio?

Yes. Many San Antonio food trucks regularly cater backyard parties, family gatherings, and residential celebrations across the city, from the North Side and Stone Oak to the South Side and surrounding suburbs. Food Truck Club helps you find trucks experienced with home events so you can browse San Antonio food trucks and request your date quickly.

Do private events require permits?

Permit needs depend on location. Private property events in San Antonio typically do not require the host to obtain a separate permit, since food truck vendors carry their own mobile food licenses. If your event is at an HOA-managed community or shared venue space, check with your property management for any local guidelines before booking.

How many trucks should I book?

Most private events with 40-75 guests work well with one main food truck offering generous Tex-Mex, BBQ, or comfort fare. For larger family celebrations over 100 guests or events with kids, adding a dessert truck with paletas, churros, or ice cream is a crowd favorite. Food Truck Club lets you compare options and get a quote easily.

Can food trucks accommodate dietary needs?

Yes. Many San Antonio food trucks offer vegetarian, gluten-friendly, and dietary-conscious menu items alongside their regular offerings. When browsing on Food Truck Club, you can review full menus and contact vendors directly to discuss specific dietary needs or allergies before confirming your booking.

Do food trucks handle setup and cleanup?

Yes. Food trucks handle their own setup and cleanup, arriving 30-60 minutes before service begins and packing out completely once the event wraps. You do not need to supply cooking equipment, serving stations, or waste removal. Just provide a flat, accessible parking spot and your food truck vendor manages the rest.
