If you’re a fan of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, the cute Barbie truck that recently stopped by town, or any of the unique local food trucks seen rollin’ around Tucson, this should be fun to see in person as well.
The pink and brightly colored Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is once again making its return to the Old Pueblo — stopping at La Encantada Shopping Center from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturday, November 5.
Sure, there’s going to be plenty of unique and limited merchandise coming out of this adorable cartoon on wheels, but you’ll definitely have to check out the treats, too.
The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is celebrating another successful road trip so far — it’s the eighth year, to be exact. In previous years, the truck rolled out bites like its Signature Macaron Set (if you can get past the cuteness you’ll gladly chomp ’em down) and Hand-Decorated Cookies Sets, Madeleine Cookie Sets, and Giant Hello Kitty Cafe Chef Cookies.
Oh, but the fun doesn’t stop there and it’ll have plenty of inedible items to purchase, too. For example, they’ll have neat merchandise like limited-edition collectibles, t-shirts, pin sets, mugs, and lunchboxes to hold all of your treats. Doesn’t the sound of all of that just tickle your fancy?
La Encantada Shopping Center is located at 2905 E. Skyline Dr. and the truck will be parked near the restaurants. For more information, visit the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck on Facebook.

More about MattAt 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.
