Great New Mexico Food Truck & Craft Beverage Festival happening this weekend

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Great New Mexico Food Truck & Craft Beverage Festival returns to Balloon Fiesta Park this weekend.

Teppanyaki King is among the newer trucks on the menu.

General Manager said the Albuquerque food truck has been open for about six months and will make its second festival appearance this weekend.

Pacheco showed off several dishes and said one of the truck’s best sellers is “lobster and filet mignon.”

Pacheco said the team wanted to bring something different to Albuquerque because “there’s taco trucks everywhere, you know, and we wanted to bring something completely different to Albuquerque so people can experience restaurant-style cooking, but on the streets.”

He said the truck has about 7 to 10 pounds of filet mignon stocked ahead of the event and full refrigerators as the team prepares for the crowd.

Teppanyaki King also serves daily in Albuquerque near San Antonio and Louisiana, Pacheco said.

People can buy tickets online ahead of time, with a pre-sale discount available if they buy them before the event. Special VIP and beer lover packages are also available.

The festival is happening on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. VIP tickets can get in an hour earlier.
