It’s lunchtime on Monday. University of Houston-Downtown faculty, staff and students briskly walk toward the College of Sciences and Technology (CST) building when the aroma of fresh food catches their attention, reminding of them of the latest campus dining options.

Say hello to the new food trucks on campus.

The mobile eateries, located adjacent to the north entrance of the CST building, began serving the UHD Community last week. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, a rotation of food trucks will hold court on campus, offering campus community members convenient lunchtime selections. A schedule of food trucks is available on the UHD Dining Services website.

The featured vendors encourage the UHD community to follow and tag them using the social media handles below. Likewise, faculty, staff and students can view menus and other information on these respective social media pages.

“We have received positive feedback from the university community,” said Mary Torres, director of University Business Services. “Many students that I visited with last week were excited to see the food trucks were on campus and many said they would return there for lunch.”

Students, faculty and staff may pay for the food truck meals with the GatorCash feature on their university ID cards, by cash or through credit or debit card.

“I would like to encourage the university community to take the opportunity to visit these vendors and support the program,” Torres said. “We hope that this new addition to our campus will become so successful that we could look at the possibilities of expanding it in the future.”
