Your 2022 guide to Sioux Falls food trucks operating this summer
[ad_1]
As the weather warms up, food trucks are starting up again in Sioux Falls as they awake from their winter hibernation.
There are dozens of options across a variety of food categories.
The Argus Leader compiled food trucks based in Sioux Falls or nearby that are operating this summer.
Our list includes several food trucks working streetside. We’ve also included some businesses that will primarily be seen at fairs, festivals or events, too. One for example is the Sabores 502 food truck that’s primary location is at the Yankton Trail Park when the Liga Latina soccer season starts.
There’s also a list of regular food truck gatherings in the Sioux Falls area, such as Golf Addiction in western Sioux Falls.
