Sarai and crew were on time, well prepared, and our attendees kept giving us big thumbs up on the food. We were super glad we landed them as our food provider for our open house.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Austin, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Chapala when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What does Chapala serve?
Chapala serves Tacos, Mexican and Latin.Popular menu items include Burrito, Enchilada and Gorditas (1).Most servings run about $17 before tax. The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Chapala has a minimum order of $1,000, which works out to roughly 64 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Chapala includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Chapala?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Chapala typically answers a request within 2 hours, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Austin book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Chapala cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 200-guest community pop-up in Austin (September 2026) and a 60-guest catered event in Austin (August 2026), out of 12 events catered so far. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Austin are all bookable from this page.
Where does Chapala serve?
Chapala is based in Austin, TX and takes bookings across Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Chapala hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Chapala will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
