Food truck season is winding down, but here’s something to look forward to for next year.

Jacky’s Restaurant will serve late-night tacos from a trailer that will be parked outside the East 10th Street location.

“We always get people knocking on the door after hours,” general manager Roberto Lopez said. “This will be for late-night eaters.”

Jacky’s Midnight Tacos will open after the restaurant at 3308 E. 10th St. closes and likely will serve food until 2 a.m., Lopez said. In addition to tacos, the limited menu might include burritos, tortas, nachos and cheesy fries.

The orange trailer is already parked in front of the restaurant and has been drawing attention, Lopez said.

“We wanted to get it open before winter,” but it doesn’t appear that will happen, he said.

The logo for Jacky’s Midnight Tacos isn’t ready yet, and signage crews are booked up with work after all the damage from the Sept. 10 storm in the city that spawned three tornadoes, Lopez said.

Once warmer weather returns, though, the late-night option will be ready to go.
