Food Truck Regulations in San Antonio
San Antonio requires food trucks to obtain permits from the San Antonio Metropolitan Health District. Trucks must pass health inspections and maintain proper food handling certifications. Operating near the River Walk, Alamo Plaza, and other historic areas requires additional permits due to preservation regulations.
For private events on corporate or residential property, food trucks generally need the property owner's permission rather than city permits. However, rules vary by neighborhood - areas like Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills have specific ordinances. When booking through Food Truck Club, our vendors handle the permitting requirements for your location.

Our food trucks serve the entire San Antonio metro area, traveling throughout Bexar County and beyond. From the corporate campuses along Loop 1604 to neighborhood events in Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Helotes, and the Southside, we bring great food wherever your event takes place.
We regularly cater events in surrounding communities including New Braunfels, Boerne, Seguin, Schertz, Converse, Live Oak, Universal City, Cibolo, Garden Ridge, Selma, and Fair Oaks Ranch.
