The valley is seeing a rise in food truck vendors, and entrepreneurs say it's because of affordability.

Grabbing a great taco or lobster roll at your popular food truck or trailer is becoming more and more popular. From festivals to other social events, you'll see plenty of meals on wheels across the country and Las Vegas.

According to Grand View Research, the already billion-dollar industry is looking to grow by more than 6% over the next seven years.

News 3 spoke to James Flores, who owns "Tunu Fixxx," an Asian fusion food trailer. His family, whose roots are from Guam, started the restaurant five years ago after he had spinal fusion surgery.

"It's a cheaper start-up," said Flores. "I wanted to play it safe and start with this and trying to get a following."

Jonathan Ibarra, whose family owns "Ibarra's Food Truck Builders," builds and rents food trucks near AREA 15. He noticed a jump in popularity, especially when the pandemic hit.

"A lot of restaurants were not able to maintain their businesses, so they went into the food truck industry. This gave them an opportunity to try," said Ibarra.

Ibarra said he went from renting five to 10 trucks a month, pre-pandemic, to upwards of 30 a month.

"It boomed, that's for sure," said Flores. "That's good because everyone now is living their dream."
