Would you believe the gourmet food truck industry started only 10 years ago? Apparently, it began with the traditional taco truck and morphed from there. While Austin may be known as the Food Truck Capital of Texas, the food truck scene in San Marcos is quickly growing!
San Marcos is a great spot for the food truck industry as the weather rarely dips below freezing. Remember they’re always moving, so check their social media or websites to find out where they’ll be stationed. A lot of them show up on Guadalupe St. so it may be worth driving by to see who has set up shop there!
One place you can go to find the best San Marcos food trucks is the Junction (200 Farm to Market 32
San Marcos, TX 78666), a food truck park with a beer and wine garden. It’s off Ranch Road 12 and Farm to Market 32, just outside Wimberley and a short drive from TRACE in San Marcos.
Folks can bring their leashed pets and the kids can play on the playscape. If you come on the right day, you might just catch some live music. Visit their website for upcoming musicians and events like the crawfish boil.
