About the park
A small lot, big trees, and the trailers people drive across town for.
Arbor Food Park sits on East 12th, a short walk from the Capitol and the East 11th bars. Mature oaks cover most of the lot, so the picnic tables stay in shade through a Texas afternoon. String lights take over at dusk.
Bring your own drinks. There is no bar and no corkage, so a six-pack from Quickie Pickie down the street is the move. Dogs are welcome at the tables.
Every trailer runs its own kitchen, menu and card reader. Order at the window, grab a table, and mix and match across trailers.

Thai street food

Lineup rotates. Cachitos 512, Papi's Deli and Cuantas Hamburguesas are on pause right now. Cuantos Tacos plans to move into a brick-and-mortar space in early 2027, so come while the trailer is here. Instagram has today's openings.

There's plenty of parking in a small dirt lot (and plenty more on the street if that ever fills up), well-spaced picnic tables, and ample tree shade.The Infatuation

Good to know
Picnic tables, tree shade all day, string lights at night. Level paths, so wheelchairs and strollers roll fine.
