Custom food trailers · Built in Texas · Weekly payments
We build food trailers from scratch in our own Texas shop — then we carry the paper ourselves. Weekly payments, no bank, no credit-score gate. You get the trailer, you start earning, and you pay us out of what it makes.
No obligation. No credit pull to get a quote. We answer in one business day or we call you.
Why we do it this way
You can cook. That was never the problem. The problem is that a real trailer costs more than you have in the bank, the lenders who advertise to you cap out below what a real build costs, and the permit rules in Texas changed on July 1, 2026 — so half the advice you'll find online is now wrong.
Hispanic-owned small businesses in the U.S. are denied credit at roughly 51% versus 30% for white-owned firms, and receive smaller amounts when approved — even after controlling for revenue and credit history. (Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey.)
And nearly every equipment lender wants 6–24 months in business. The trailer is the business. You can't satisfy the requirement that lets you buy the thing that creates it.
The financing partners other builders route you to top out around $20,000–$35,000. A real, code-compliant, 16-foot trailer with a Type I hood, suppression, three-compartment sink and proper propane costs more than that.
So you get approved for a trailer you can't actually use, or you get talked into a shell.
On July 1, 2026 Texas replaced city-by-city health permits with a single statewide DSHS Mobile Food Vendor licence. Locally-issued permits stopped being valid.
Most builder websites — and most of the guides ranking on Google — still describe the old system. Building to the wrong spec is an expensive mistake to find out about at inspection.
What we actually do
No bank sits between us. You put money down, sign an agreement with us, and pay every week — the same rhythm your trailer earns money in. Friday and Saturday pay for the week. There is no credit-score cutoff, because we are not selling your paper to anyone.
Weekly matters more than it sounds. A monthly payment lands like a bill. A weekly payment lands like a shift. And if a week goes sideways we know within seven days instead of thirty, which is when a problem is still fixable.
Every trailer leaves here spec'd against the current Texas rules: a three-compartment sink big enough to submerge your largest pan, a separate handwashing sink, a wastewater tank 15% larger than the fresh tank as the FDA Food Code requires, hot water under pressure at every sink, 16-mesh screening, coved and sealed floor-to-wall junctions, and a propane system mounted where the fire code allows it — not where it was convenient to weld.
Then we hand you a written guarantee: if your trailer fails inspection on something we built, we fix it at our cost. Not a promise on a phone call. A clause in your contract.
The single thing that goes wrong in this industry is a big deposit handed to someone who then goes quiet. It has happened to hundreds of people in Texas — one San Antonio operation took roughly $1 million from about 100 buyers, most of them immigrants, before a guilty plea in March 2026.
So we don't take one big deposit. You pay at milestones — at signing, at frame, at equipment set, at delivery — and each milestone comes with dated photos of your trailer, with your build number on it. Come by the shop any time and look at it yourself.
Our work
Every one of these was cut, welded, wired and plumbed in our shop. No imported shells, no drop-ships.

Where we work
We tow it to you, walk you through the systems on site, and stay on the phone through your first inspection. Texas and Colorado are home — most builds go there, and we've delivered as far as Georgia, South Carolina and Utah. Colorado builds leave here with high-altitude gas orifices, a listed LP-gas alarm and a freeze package fitted — because a Texas-spec trailer does not survive a Denver November.
Tell us what you're going to sell and we'll send back a floor plan and a weekly payment — no obligation, no credit pull.
Ourselves. You sign an agreement with us and pay us weekly. There is no third-party lender, no origination fee going to a finance company, and no approval ceiling set by someone else's risk model. That's why we can fund a full custom build rather than the $20,000–$35,000 most partner lenders cap at.
No. We look at what you're going to sell, where you're going to park it, and what you can put down. We've financed people the banks wouldn't talk to, and we've also turned down people with good credit whose plan didn't hold together — because a repossession is a bad outcome for both of us. Financing is subject to a signed agreement and a down payment.
It starts at 20% and moves with the size of the build, the term you want, and what you're putting on the road. Tell us the plan and we'll give you an exact number the same week — no credit pull to get it.
8 weeks for a typical build from signed agreement to delivery. Bigger rigs with heavy smokers or unusual equipment run longer, and we'll say so up front rather than promise a date we'll miss. The national shops quoting you three months aren't lying — they're just further away and busier.
If it fails on something we built, we fix it at our cost — that's written into your contract, not just said on the phone. If it fails on something outside the build, like a missing food manager certificate or a servicing-log entry, we'll still walk you through fixing it, because we'd rather you be open than be right.
Since HB 2844, maybe not. The DSHS rules now include an exemption where the vehicle carries the equipment necessary to comply with state law — which turns a recurring monthly cost into largely a build decision, since four of the eight conditions are things we control on the shop floor. We build for the exemption by default. Confirm your own eligibility with DSHS before cancelling anything. Full explanation here.
Yes. Colorado is our second market and it gets a genuinely different build — high-altitude gas orifices, a listed LP-gas alarm, a freeze package and heavier brakes. We also deliver into Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana and Arkansas, each of which has its own wrinkles. Tell us where you'll operate and we build to that jurisdiction, not to a generic spec.
