Chandler residents have watched the weekly Food Truck Food Court in downtown Gilbert grow in popularity over the past three years and asked, “Why not here?”
A lengthy Facebook discussion in February on the south Chandler Ocotillo Friends group page led to creation of a new Facebook page called Chandler Wants Food Trucks.
And tonight, their efforts pay off.
The first-ever weekly Chandler food truck court will debut in Downtown Ocotillo, a commercial development on Queen Creek between Dobson and Price.
The event will start small with just three trucks.
Chocolate Van Brugge (pictured) and The Treatery (actually a dessert cart) will be set up at 5:30 p.m., with United Steaks of Cheese joining them at 7.
There also will be a fashion truck.
If enough people show up, organizers will add more trucks in future weeks.
The Gilbert food truck court also takes place from 5:30-9-ish tonight with 15 trucks on the southeast corner of Gilbert and Vaughn (across from Oregano’s).
