Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking a food truck for your Tucson-area event.

Pricing & Booking

How much does it cost to hire a food truck in Tucson?
Pricing depends on your guest count, event duration, location, and menu selections. As a general range, most events with 50–150 guests fall between $600 and $1,800. Larger events over 200 guests are priced on a per-head basis. We always provide a clear, detailed quote before you commit to anything — no hidden fees, no surprises. Just fill out our form and we'll send exact numbers within a few hours.
How far in advance should I book?
For most events, we recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance. For weddings and large corporate events, 6–8 weeks is ideal. University of Arizona graduation weekends in May and popular summer HOA dates can book up 2–3 months in advance — so if your event falls during a peak period, reach out as soon as you can. We always try to accommodate last-minute requests when our schedule allows.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we typically require a deposit to hold your date. The deposit amount and payment terms will be detailed in your quote and service agreement. We accept payment by check, Zelle, or major credit cards.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens. Our cancellation policy is detailed in the service agreement provided with your quote. Generally, cancellations made more than 14 days before the event are eligible for a partial deposit refund. We evaluate closer-in cancellations on a case-by-case basis.

Logistics & Setup

Do you need electricity or water hookups at the venue?
Our truck is fully self-contained for most events. We carry our own power supply for events up to 3–4 hours. For longer events, access to a standard electrical outlet (120v, 20 amp) is helpful but often not required. We do not require water hookups — we bring our own. We'll discuss your specific venue during the booking process.
How much space does the truck need?
Our truck requires approximately 30 feet of length and 10 feet of width. We need to be able to access the serving window from the guest side — typically we park parallel to the event space and serve from one side. We also need a clear path in and out for arrival and departure. For tight venues, reach out and we'll discuss options.
How long does setup take?
We typically arrive 30–45 minutes before the scheduled service start time to set up, get temperatures right, and be fully ready when your guests arrive. For larger events we may request additional setup time — we'll communicate this in advance.
Do you clean up after the event?
Absolutely. We leave your venue exactly as we found it. We manage all waste generated by our operation, wipe down our service area, and depart cleanly. You will not be left with any mess to deal with.

Menu & Service

Can I customize the menu for my event?
Yes — within the options each truck offers, we're happy to work with you on the right menu for your crowd. We can focus on a single item (like Sonoran dogs for a smaller party) or offer the full menu range. For dietary restrictions or special requests, let us know when you inquire and we'll tell you what we can accommodate.
Do you have vegetarian or allergy-friendly options?
Yes. Each of our trucks has vegetarian options — bean and cheese burritos, veggie burgers, and non-meat hot dog alternatives are all available. For severe food allergies, please discuss your specific needs when you reach out so we can advise accurately on what we can safely prepare.
How many people can you serve?
A single truck can comfortably serve between 50 and 300 guests over a 2–3 hour service period. For events over 300 guests or events where you want faster throughput, we can arrange for additional service staff or discuss multiple truck options. We've served events ranging from 30-person office lunches to 400-person community events.
Can I book more than one truck for the same event?
Yes, and this is a popular option for larger events and weddings. For example, many clients pair our hot dog or burger truck with the sweet treats truck for a complete meal-and-dessert experience. Ask about multi-truck packages when you request your quote — there's a discount for booking multiple trucks together.

Service Area

Do you serve all of Tucson including suburbs like Marana, Vail, and Sahuarita?
Yes — we serve all of Pima County, including Marana, Vail, Sahuarita, Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, Green Valley, Midtown Tucson, South Tucson, and the University District. For locations more than 25 miles from central Tucson, there may be a small travel fee — we'll always disclose this upfront in your quote.
Do you serve events in the evening or on weekends?
Absolutely. We serve events 7 days a week, mornings through evenings. Weekend availability is our most sought-after booking window, so we recommend reaching out early for Saturday and Sunday dates. Evening events are a specialty — our trucks are fully lit and operational after dark.
