Local food trucks are now open and serving students on the campus of Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo.

“It was great. The kids were excited that we were here. We’re excited to be able to help the kids,” said Adam Dragotta, who owns the SLO Dogs food truck with Loren Vallin-Flores.

They opened their stand on the campus of Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo three weeks ago and are now open every Monday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We enjoy being here. Mondays are pretty consistently busy and I think that’s something they can look forward to on a Monday,” Vallin-Flores said.

This is the first semester that food trucks will be available on campus.

The change comes after Cuesta College closed its cafeteria indefinitely when the contract with its previous food supplier ended.

Many students express satisfaction with the new opportunities.

“I just had an astronomy test and was stressed and needed something to eat before going to statistics,” said a freshman student. “The smell and accessibility are pretty good. I can walk past it and get to my lectures pretty easily.”

“I’m excited to see what will be on offer that day,” said another student.

A Cuesta College spokesperson says there is no fee for the food trucks on campus, but that could change as the partnership progresses.

There are currently food trucks on campus Monday through Thursday.

The other food trucks available during the week are Leslie’s Taqueria on Tuesdays and Central Coast Pizza Trolley on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
