Food Truck Catering
Catering in Clovis, NM
Smoke takes its time out here — and Clovis, New Mexico, a high-plains city where the wind comes in steady and the sky goes on forever, seems built for exactly that kind of patience. Smokin Zo's brings low-and-slow pit craft to this corner of the Mountain West: brisket held to the smoke until the bark sets deep, ribs that pull clean at the bone, pulled pork that collapses into something you didn't know you needed. The flavors are unhurried, intentional, and — if you're paying attention — genuinely revelatory.

What We Cater in Clovis, NM
Clovis has the character of a city that doesn't need to perform — it just delivers, steadily. BBQ from a well-outfitted truck fits that same register: no frills, no theatrics, just smoked meat treated with honest craft and served where people already are. In a semi-arid climate where outdoor gatherings happen with real frequency, the aroma of a working smoker becomes the best event signage money can't buy.

Venues & Event Locations
Pull up near Clovis Community College on the right afternoon and you'll find a campus crowd that has developed a reliable appreciation for food that goes beyond the transactional. The Lyceum Theater, with its roots in Clovis's cultural life, sets a stage for smoked meats to show up as more than just a meal — they become part of the event's texture. And at the Curry County Court House, where the lunch window is short and the hunger is real, Smokin Zo's brisket has a way of making the midday break worth looking forward to.
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 Clovis.
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.
