Tucson food truck roundup

Tonight - November 14

What happens when Food Trucks invade downtown Tucson? Tonight of all nights…it’s cold outside. Better have some hot chocolate!

Eat their food – indoor/outdoor event

Monday, December 5 – Tucson Food Truck Roundup – 5 to 8 pm

Food Truck Invasion! from 6 to 9 pm – on Facebook

Theme for the evening: Food and 1950s Sci Fi

Join the early evening, Monday, dinner party for the whole family. It’s also yappy hour!

On the warehouse walls, enjoy 1950s sci fi movie trailers and “intermission” clips from 1960s drive-in theaters. Beer and wine by donation.

Dinnerware Artspace gets a percentage of all food sales.

Explore new worlds of culinary flavor. You might want curry. She might want kimchi. The kids might want a burger.

Sit inside, cafeteria style, with 1950s Sci Fi movie trailers on the screen.

Vegetarian and vegan options are also available.

Gabriela Galup of Maki Maki Puppet Theater will entertain the kids with her puppet shows. Crayons and paper provided for kids’ table.

    At the first Food Truck event Penelope Starr (“Telling Stories”) and I chatted while we stood in the very long line for MaFooCo kimchi quesadillas (unusual combo).  I no longer like kimchi having grown up with it due to  an uncle who actually made & bottled it in Hawaii.  And the Planet of the Crepes cuisine is one of my favorites.  The first event was very popular w/ music & alcoholic drinks inside Dinnerware, and hopefully the weather will be okay tonight for this 2nd event!
