A small selection of food trucks has established a semi-permanent location at Civano Nursery at 5301 S. Houghton Road, selling everything from wild-salmon burgers to Cuban-inspired fare on a regular basis.
The trucks set up around 11 a.m., Thursday through Sunday. This week it looks like Dragoon Cafe, Jamie’s Bitchen Kitchen and Guero Loco’s Bubba Que are scheduled to be there. If you’re on Facebook, you can check in over here for more info.
If you can’t wait until Thursday, Guero Loco’s Bubba Que will be out in front of the National Bank of Arizona at 330 N. Wilmot Road today from about 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jamie’s Bitchen Kitchen looks like it’s taking today off, but tomorrow it’ll be parked in front of the Sportsman’s Warehouse at 3945 W. Costco Drive.

How much business can they be getting at such a remote location?
There are Thousands of people that live on the east side. Isn’t it amazing?
It may be remote from downtown, Downtowner–but Houghton Rd. has constant traffic, and it seems that the restaurant variety out here has not caught up with the population yet.
Restaurants on this side of town are abysmal. Civano (which I am not fortunate to reside in) and now the food trucks are pretty much it by way of beacons of life and culture out here, unless you count hanging out in the Safeway parking lot or the run-down Purple Heart Park. Whoohooo!
