Trailers to host events, add farmers market
New trailers, a fire pit and events are among the upgrades Native South Food Park introduced in 2013.
The park on Manchaca Road, which opened in mid-2013, is now home to six food trucks: Likkity's Frozen Custard, Most Wanted Smokers BBQ, Princess & Moose's Sister Bakery, Rockadive Austin Poly-Fusion, South Folk Eatery and TMT Local Foods. Pretty Thai for a White Guy moved from the park to a new location in Boerne, according to trailer owner Robert Strong.
South Folk Eatery, which offers Texas folk cuisine, came to the park in November, trailer owner and Executive Chef Sean Bautista said, noting updates in the works include a farmers market opening in March.
"It's [going to be] a free farmers market, so we're not charging our vendors to be here," he said.
Princess & Moose moved to the park in October, trailer co-owner Edie Ann Goodwin said.
In addition to live music, the park can host homeowners association meetings, parties, quinceaeras and other events.
"People can go to the different trailers and get the food that they really want," she said.
TMT Local Foods recently got a new trailer, said Riccardo Rodriguez, pitmaster and owner of MWS BBQ. He added that the park also offers a bean-bag toss and games.
Hours vary by trailer, but MWS is the only truck open for lunch. The park is closed Mon.–Tue.
