Austin Food Truck Parks
Austin loves its food scene. Tacos, sushi, spaghetti, and, of course, good ol’ bar-be-que- whatever you’re looking for, we’ve got it. Of course, as much as we love food, we also love our kitschy, portable food – Austin’s famous food trucks. At any given time, there are over 1,400 food trucks registered in Travis county. So, with all of those trucks parked anywhere in the city, how do you decide what to eat? Enter the food truck park. Austin has 3 main food truck parks, each hosting a collection of trucks from which to choose.
