A brigade of food trucks will soon flood the south end of the Tanque Verde Swap Meet with tasty food and beverages. It’s called Comida Park and it’s exactly what it sounds like — a wonderland for those with an appetite and love for local bites.

Originally scheduled to open in the summer of 2022, the food truck park will officially open the weekend of Friday, February 10 – Sunday, February 12 at 4100 S. Palo Verde Rd.

The Denver-based United Flea Markets (UFM), which is the owner of one of the largest collections of flea markets in the country, is the company behind Comida Park.

“The addition of Comida Park will be the perfect complement to the already lively evening vibes at Tanque Verde,” said Rob Sieban, President, CEO, and co-owner of United Flea Markets. “Guests can shop, then grab some of their favorite food and beverages from the food trucks, enjoy some music and connect with the community all in one location.”

The following food trucks have already signed up to serve at Comida Park, and any other trucks interested in grabbing a spot at the park they can still apply online.

Matt Sterner

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
