Food safety is our primary concern. Each truck owner is responsible for acquiring and maintaining all applicable licenses and permits that are required by the city of Houston and the State of Texas for a mobile food unit operation. Furthermore, each truck will have a qualified food service certified person on board at all times to ensure the safety of the products being served. Non-compliance with city, state, and federal regulations are grounds for expulsion from the park.

Houston Grub Park is not responsible for any equipment failures, food spoilage, or losses caused by an outage or equipment failure. Wireless internet service will not be provided in the park.
