Food trucks
in South Dakota.

South Dakota's truck scene is anchored in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, with seasonal Black Hills tourism filling in the western half. Sioux Falls's growth in the last decade has produced a surprising number of new trucks — Mexican, halal, BBQ, plus the expected American lanes. Rapid City and the Black Hills run hard during Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and the summer tourist season; trucks that lock in slots near Mount Rushmore make their year in three months. The state's regulations are loose and the cost of entry is among the lowest in the country. The trucks tend to be year-round local operators rather than seasonal pop-ups.
