Food Truck Catering
Catering in Alice, TX
Wood smoke drifting across a Texas afternoon is its own kind of announcement, and in Alice it lands on a community that already knows how to slow down and eat well. Smokin Zo's carries the full weight of that low-and-slow tradition — brisket with a proper bark, pulled pork layered with smoke, ribs that release cleanly and mean it. This is BBQ that respects the craft and the crowd in equal measure.

What We Cater in Alice, TX
Alice operates on a community scale where everyone knows the difference between food that was rushed and food that was made with care — and Smokin Zo's approach to BBQ lives entirely on the care side of that line. The wide South Texas sky, the open gathering spaces, and the culture of showing up and staying a while all make this the kind of town where a smoked-meat truck can become a regular part of the landscape. Hearty, generous, built for crowds who want more than a meal.

Venues & Event Locations
On a summer afternoon at Alice Water Park & Natatorium, the crowd spills across the grounds and a parked truck with a smoke trail draws a line before the gates even open. The South Texas Museum draws visitors who came for history and stay for whatever is smoldering nearby — the kind of audience that appreciates craft in every form. Over at the Jim Wells County Courthouse, where the public squares up for community events on the plaza, Smokin Zo's fits right into that civic gathering energy, feeding the people who make Alice run.
Under HB 2844 (effective July 1, 2026), Texas has health and fire reciprocity — a food-truck health permit or fire inspection issued by any Texas jurisdiction is accepted statewide.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with Alice.
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.

David
Senior Booking Agent
Owner-operator experience across 11 trucks, 10 concepts, and real booking operations.
With over 3,000 truck events across ten concepts under his belt, David treats every host conversation as its own puzzle, matching menu, guest count, and timing to a setup that actually works on the ground. He's the one who kept Chevron fed at 1,500 meals a day for a month straight and held FedEx together at roughly 1,200 meals a weekend through Covid, experience that shows up now in his backup planning and quick pivots from truck to buffet when equipment gives out mid-event. That same problem-solving pushed him to help pass Colorado's statewide health and fire reciprocity bill, cutting through the old jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction mess so smoky BBQ comfort food can travel further without the friction.
- Owned and operated 11 food trucks across 10 concepts
- Commissary, ghost kitchen, and planning-flow experience
David will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
