Food Truck Catering
Catering in Alamogordo, NM
On a clear Alamogordo afternoon — and there are plenty of them — the smell of wood smoke and slow-rendered brisket is about as inviting as this high-desert city gets. Smokin Zo's carries the full low-and-slow tradition here: ribs with a caramelized crust, pulled pork piled generously, and brisket sliced the way it's supposed to be. That's the kind of food that gives any event a reason to linger.

Valencia Park is exactly the sort of open, shaded space where a brisket-and-sides spread lands perfectly — families already gathered, room to spread out, and an easy flow from the service window to the picnic tables. On the New Mexico State University–Alamogordo side of town, the George E. Fettinger Student Services Center draws the kind of lunchtime crowd that wants something real between classes, and Smokin Zo's fits that need without overcomplicating the logistics. Out near the Dog Canyon Historical Marker, where history-minded visitors end up after a morning on the trail, the appetite for slow-smoked meat is never in question.
New Mexico does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Alamogordo.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Brandon
Senior Booking Agent
Direct, solutions-focused booking support backed by large-scale truck operations experience.
Brandon's hospitality roots go back to 2003, with early years at Red Robin and Isle of Capri in Black Hawk covering front-of-house, expediting, and banquet setup, before 12 years took him fully into food truck and catering logistics, 6 of those spent directly on trucks, smokers, and live kitchens. That background now shows up in his approach to booking BBQ service that keeps the event moving: fast response, clear partner communication, and a willingness to swap a contractor quickly if the quality, reviews, food, or presentation aren't up to standard, drawing on work supporting Amazon, Starbucks, the Denver Broncos, the Denver Nuggets, Southwest Airlines, Harvard, and Texas A&M across markets he knows best — Denver, Fort Collins, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston, and San Francisco. His advice to hosts stays simple: a tighter menu means smoky BBQ comfort food with generous portions and bold flavor, delivered without the line ever stalling.
- Scaled operations from 1 truck to an 11-truck business
- Strong on pricing, menu consultation, and fit
Brandon will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
