12 Food Trucks You’ve Got to Try in San Antonio

At Store Space, we don’t just care about storage units. We love our local food hotspots too! Here’s a shoutout to all the hardworking food trucks in San Antonio, plus some of our favorite mobile kitchens you have to try.

Food trucks have become a permanent fixture in San Antonio’s cultural scene feeding the local’s need for diverse cuisine made fast and affordable. Serving as an alternative to sitting down at restaurants, hungry customers can eat on the go or enjoy some tasty foods in the San Antonio sunshine.  

Now one question to consider is what really qualifies as a food truck? If it stays in one place permanently, does it still count? The most common definition of these mobile kitchens are, “a large vehicle equipped with facilities for cooking and selling food.” So, it appears that even food trucks with a constant home at a park or center still qualify—giving us even more tasty options! 

Here’s our look at some of the top San Antonio food trucks found around town. We tried to identify if a truck has a permanent or semi-permanent home, but it’s always a good idea to check their website or Facebook page to see where they might be on any particular day.  

There are so many great places to eat in SA that we couldn’t fit it all in one blog! Visit our “San Antonio Foods You Just Can’t Miss” blog to see some upscale, and non-traveling restaurants.

As if it couldn’t be any more serendipitous, you can just walk right up and get some coffee and pastries.

It’s impossible to pick just two of the best coffee trucks in San Antonio, so we decided on three. Espada Coffee is located at 1119 Camden Street, serving nearby coffee seekers in Saint Paul Square and downtown San Antonio. This bright pink truck can be spotted from a mile away, serving specialty drinks like horchata cold brew and lattes along with the matcha special. A combo of matcha, milk and sweetener.
