A high-traffic area off Austin Highway is about to be the home of San Antonio’s newest food truck park.

StreetFare SA hopes to be up and running by mid-May at 1916 Austin Highway, next door to the Salado Creek Greenway, and plans to feature mobile cuisines up and down the taste spectrum.

“We’re looking to secure a rotating lineup that will give us a wide variety of options,” said StreetFare general manager Robbie Dunn, who is working with owner Dakota Day on the project. “Our property is not a parking lot that we’re moving trucks into. We are constructing it to be an actual food park, and run it like a restaurant with six (or more) different kitchens.”

Dunn said that once a truck commits to the space with a certain food discipline (barbecue, burgers, coffee, Mexican or Asian foods, etc.), the goal is for it to be the only one of its kind.

“We want to put everybody in a good environment where they can succeed and nobody is cannibalizing each other,” Dunn said.

Instead of a weekends-only operation, StreetFare plans to open every day with lunch and dinner service from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m.

An open-air pavilion is currently being constructed on the nearly 1-acre property, and restrooms and a walk-in cooler will be fashioned out of shipping containers.

A 40-year old Airstream trailer is currently being renovated to act as a wine and beer bar on the property that will have up to a dozen drafts on tap at any given time. Dunn is a craft beer fanatic who used to be the director of operations at Big Hops.

The space is being designed to be kid- and pet-friendly, with a playset and plenty of shaded seating.
