Food Truck Roll Up: A Massive Street Food Party at Casino Del Sol

Feb 25, 20253 min read

Tucson Foodie and Casino Del Sol are bringing together more than 20 of Tucson’s best food trucks for one epic day of food, music, and community at AVA Amphitheater.

The Experience

This event isn’t just about grabbing a quick bite—it’s a celebration of Tucson’s incredible food truck culture. Casino Del Sol has lined up an amazing local band, Soulitify, to keep the energy high throughout the day, along with DJ Junes, who will be spinning from the AVA Amphitheater stage.

Bring your appetite and settle into the amphitheater’s shaded seating with a drink from the bar while enjoying the music and atmosphere. It’s the perfect way to experience Tucson’s thriving food truck scene all in one place.

Why We’re Doing This

Tucson has more food trucks per capita than cities like LA and Austin, yet they’re harder to find because they don’t cluster in pods the way they do elsewhere. That means some of the best food in town is rolling around the city, waiting to be discovered.

We’re making it easier by bringing them all together for a day. Food trucks have always played a huge role in Tucson’s culinary evolution—some even go on to open brick-and-mortar spots. One of my favorites, Antojo Poblano, started as a truck before becoming a full-fledged restaurant. Who’s next? You might just find your new favorite here.

The event takes place on Sunday, March 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater (5655 W. Valencia Rd.). Admission is free.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
