Plans are in the works for a food truck court, a farmers market and a community garden on Howard Lane in North Austin.
The court, which does not have an official name yet, is located at 1716 W. Howard Lane near Metric Boulevard. The food truck court is tentatively set to open in late May depending on the weather, said David Barnett, owner of Pop's Tacos food truck.
Confirmed food trucks that have already opened onsite include Pop’s Tacos serving burgers and barbecue, Heavenly Sno Cones and The Rolling Rooster serving chicken and waffles. Food truck Em Gourmet also will be opening in the new food court, serving Vietnamese cuisine. The food court will also feature a farmers market, which will sell produce such as watermelons and cantaloupes, as well as a community garden.
Barnett said food truck owners will be able to rent space at the court. He has operated his food truck for eight years, but said he wanted a more permanent location. Barnett also offers catering. 512-822-1855
