In a recent government meeting, local entrepreneur and owner of City Dogs Food Truck Park, located at 1820 Beaumont Street in Grama City, shared insights on the growth and development of the food truck industry in the area. Established in 2019, the park aims to enhance the local dining scene by offering a diverse range of food options and encouraging residents to keep their spending within the community.
The owner highlighted the positive reception from customers, who appreciate the convenience of having multiple food options in one location, saving them time and travel costs. The park has attracted popular food trucks, including Tacos Alex, known for their acclaimed tacos and chicken dishes, and Ice Bergs, which specializes in refreshing aguas frescas and snacks. The owner emphasized the importance of variety, stating that they have intentionally limited the number of similar food offerings to ensure a diverse culinary experience.
Plans for expansion include the introduction of new vendors, with a focus on unique offerings such as barbecue and seafood. The park is also set to host family-friendly activities, aiming to create a vibrant community space that encourages outdoor engagement and reduces screen time for children.
Additionally, the owner announced the acquisition of an adjacent lot to address parking concerns, with future plans for a potential drive-in theater to enhance the entertainment options available to visitors. The meeting underscored the commitment to fostering local businesses and creating a thriving food culture in Rio Grande City, with the hope of attracting visitors from surrounding areas.
