Ariel

Owner, NUCHAS Empanadas

Nuchas is an American made but internationally inspired handheld food company that sprung from a kiosk in Times Square, New York City. It became known for its award-winning Nuchas, the ultimate evolution of an age-old concept: the handheld meal known as empanadas. Perfectly baked and purposefully shaped to put all the flavors, aromas and colors that make up our melting pot, in the palm of your hand. In a frantically- paced society, as digitally connected as it is culturally divided, Nuchas offers a timely marriage of culture and convenience no other hand held meal on earth can.

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 New York, so booking early gives you the best selection.

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 NUCHAS Empanadas 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. Per-serving pricing includes 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 NUCHAS Empanadas?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in New York 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 NUCHAS Empanadas cater?
NUCHAS Empanadas is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around New York are all bookable from this page.
Where does NUCHAS Empanadas serve?
NUCHAS Empanadas is based in New York, NY and takes bookings across New York, Kings, Queens, Bronx, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Union, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Sussex, Warren, Fairfield, New Haven, Litchfield, Monroe and Pike 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?
NUCHAS Empanadas lists vegan options, vegetarian options and dairy-free options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
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 NUCHAS Empanadas 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.
