HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) – Hartford’s first ever food truck park is set to open Friday.
Rebeca Quach took a few minutes out of her crazy schedule to show Eyewitness News around her brand new business.
Rebeca and her husband Quan will officially open the Westside Square Food Truck Park at 4 p.m.
“We’re excited that this is finally where we just wanted to get started,” Rebeca said. “Has everyone seen what we’ve been working on for so long.”
This dream is two years in the making.
The Quachs transformed this once-vacant lot on Farmington Avenue in Hartford’s west end into something special.
Quan built most of the furniture by hand from recycled materials, but the real attraction will be the food.
“It’s a win-win for everybody, small businesses, everybody, especially the foodies you want to try different foods, this is the place to be,” Rebeca said.
Perhaps the coolest thing about this new business is that the trucks change every single day, so you never know exactly what you’re going to get when you show up.
“I like to rotate them to give a lot of diversity to get a different type of food, when a family comes dad wants something different, dad wants something different. a little more of a variety,” Quan said.
West Side Square’s front stage will have live music from – 9:00 p.m. Friday evening.
A Brazilian truck, a Guyanese truck and a traditional truck arrive around 4:00 p.m.
