The past few months Ive been up and down going to court fighting ONE FAT FROG over financial disputes, However TAMPA BAY FOOD TRUCK RALLY saved the day. I recently purchased a GREAT food trailer from TAMPA BAY FOOD TRUCK RALLY . The salesman Michael Blasco was very professional. I did a food truck seminar with Michael a few years ago, he was very Knowledgeable of the food truck industry laws, rules and regulations . Im very happy with my purchase, the food trailer looks great runs great. I would definitely recommend TAMPA BAY FOOD TRUCK RALLY to anyone and everyone in the food truck industry.

My organization recently hosted Tampa Bay Food Trucks. From the beginning stages of planning Kim was absolutely amazing to work with. She was able to bring awareness to anticipated areas of opportunities and was not just responsive but was RAPIDLY responsive. Day of the event owner Michael arrived before the trucks as our dynamic was a little different. We had a total of 4 trucks on site, but we split them to provide an opportunity for all staff members to participate. Michael helped get the trucks settled and continuously asked if there was anything else we needed. He provided support for both sites & staff and was so easy going and a joy to work with. Working with this company was such a pleasure, we anticipate doing this again in the future! OH, and the food WAS GREATTTT!!!

Our Roots: The Evolution of Tampa’s Food Truck Scene
The Tampa food truck scene gained momentum with the city’s first food truck rally on Sept. 23, 2011, organized by Tasting Tampa. This event helped spark a thriving food truck culture in the region. By 2013, Tampa became one of the top cities for launching a food truck, second only to San Antonio, Texas. Tampa Bay Food Trucks has been instrumental in this growth, partnering with major employers, universities, hospitals, and local attractions such as Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park.
