Food trucks
in Arizona.

Arizona's truck scene is a story of Phoenix and Tucson, with the rest of the state thinning out fast. Phoenix's heat shapes everything — trucks operate aggressively at dawn and dusk, the menus lean lighter than you'd expect for the Southwest, and the cold-treat trucks (paletas, raspados, soft serve) anchor every food-truck event from April to October. Tucson's older Mexican-American food culture means the taco trucks here trend more traditional than in Phoenix, and the Sonoran hot dog — bacon-wrapped, mayo, beans, jalapeño salsa — is on more menus than you'd expect anywhere else in America.
