On the ground

Local logistics for taco trucks.

Taco trucks need a flat-surface parking area of about 20 ft x 10 ft per truck plus an exit path. Most arrive self-contained with generator power, water, and a 4-burner griddle. Salsa bars and self-serve toppings often add a small folding-table footprint adjacent to the truck.
