Custom Mobile Kitchens in Texas

Proudly Texas-born. Texas-built. Texas-approved.

Texas doesn’t do small — and neither do we. When you need a custom food truck, food trailer, or mobile kitchen built for the Lone Star State, you go to the Texans who build them every single day. Cruising Kitchens creates world-class mobile businesses right here in Texas, handcrafted by a team that grew up on Whataburger runs, high-school football, rodeos, and tailgates.

If you want a unit made for real Texas crowds, real Texas weather, and real Texas hustle — welcome home.​

If you’re rolling into ACL, SXSW, or any of Austin’s nonstop festivals, your build needs to be tough, efficient, fast-serving, and unforgettable. We can do the same for other popular events in Texas, such as:

If your unit can thrive at Texas-level crowds, it can thrive anywhere.
