‘It makes sense’: Austin changes inspection requirements for food trucks

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Rod Ferriol spent a good portion of his Monday prepping food for his South Austin food truck, Los Galanes Birria.

“I can’t complain. This isn’t work for me,” Ferriol said. “This is fun for me."

Ferriol said he opened his Mexican street food truck around a year and a half ago after his kids were grown and left home. While he cooked for family and friends his whole life, this is his first time doing it professionally. And even though he’s having fun, he said it’s not always easy having a new business.
