The Gathering of the Food Trucks
at SOMA Streat Food Park
SOMA Streat Food is SF'S first permanent food truck lot. It's open 7 days a week, for lunch and dinner. The park will have up to ten food trucks for lunch & dinner services and features a covered seating area, free WiFi, a beer garden (permits are pending), and a projection screen for movie nights & ballgames.
Unlike at some of your usual vendy powwows where you have to cop a squat on the street or at a nearby park bench, this venture boasts a covered heated seating area for 100, bathrooms, bike parking, free WiFi and a projection system for showing movies and games.

Carlos Muela may come from a San Francisco restaurant family, but he didn't foresee owning another restaurant in his future. He was more interested in street food. "I'd been to Portland and saw the street-food pods there, and noticed there was nothing like that here. There's Off the Grid, but those are more like events," Muela says. "And I started hearing about the struggles the trucks were finding when they tried to park on the street. They're trapped -- the city told them it would make it easier for them to open, but then they couldn't find anywhere to sell. So I decided that having a private lot is what the city -- and the trucks -- need."

Good for Groups
"Lots of options for food and drinks. Plenty of places to sit and nice amenities (tv and restrooms)." — Alex Popof
