Where To Find Food Trucks In Dallas

Dallas is a huge city. It can feel overwhelming to find food trucks to try out. Luckily, food trucks in Dallas tend to group together in several common haunts.

Klyde Warren park is a beautiful green space in its own right, but is also a great place to find food trucks. Stop by for a casual stroll and check out food trucks there for lunch. Trucks rotate through Kylde Warren Park, so be sure to check back on a weekly basis to see who’s parked there.

The Truck Yard is also a great spot to find food trucks for catering. The Truck yard is the perfect place to hang out with friends and join a night out. The food trucks here are diverse, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating.

In the Spring and Fall, “Cool Thursdays” at the Dallas Arboretum is also a fantastic place to find trucks. Cool Thursdays is a concert series that happens at the Dallas Arboretum. While people come for the music, there’s always a new set of trucks catering the event. If you’re a music lover, Cool Thursdays is a great way to kill two birds with one stone on your hunt for food trucks.

On Saturdays, be sure to check out Bishop Cidercade. While Bishop Cidercade is open daily, Saturday is the only day that they serve food from, you guessed it, local food trucks.

Lastly, UT Dallas is a surprising place to find food trucks to check out before you rent. UT Dallas has a dining program that features food trucks, with a weekly rotating schedule.

Best Food Truck Cuisines In Dallas

As we mentioned, Dallas food trucks are best known for their mix of Latin and classic American cuisines. In particular, BBQ food trucks in Dallas aren’t traditional Texan BBQ. Instead, the Dallas BBQ scene is much more diverse.

Check out the Butcher’s Son for their amazing sandwiches and sausages, as well as quesadillas. Truly a fun mix between Latin and Texan with a BBQ twist! Other BBQ food trucks we recommend are Joe’s Backyard BBQ, Rick’s Smokehouse BBQ, and Flaming Grill Barbecue.

We would be remiss to forget about the excellent TexMex Dallas food trucks have to offer. TexMex is where Dallas shines. If you’re in the mood for something more unique, we think it is worth checking out Azucar for Mayan and Cuban fare. Of course, Wild West Tex Mex and Holy Frijole are also top of our list.
