Downtown Mobile Food Vending Programs and Information
Note: The application period for the 2024-2025 Alamo Plaza program is now open.
Two programs exist for downtown street level food vendor permits, one for Alamo Plaza that only allows the sale of raspas/snow cones, another for the Central Businesses District to vend hotdogs, raspas, and pre-packaged food items. The programs differ by location and permitted food items. Both programs do not permit roaming vending, but require the vendor to stay in a designated location.
Vendors who are interested in selling raspas/snow cones at Alamo Plaza have the opportunity to participate in a lottery process annually. Completed applications and other requirements are necessary for vendors to be included in the annual lottery. For additional information, please see the current Rules & Regulations.
Due to the popularity of the downtown mobile food vending program, which allows vendors to sell hotdogs, raspas and pre-packaged food items, there are no locations currently available in the Central Business District.
For additional information regarding downtown mobile food, contact Center City Development & Operations at (210) 207-3677.
