Food Spotlight
Phat Stax Burgers and More
Bring your homies and make sure to check out New Mexico’s dope hip-hop-inspired eating experience: Phat Stax Burgers. Revisit nostalgic memories by tasting menu items influenced by hip-hop legends like the Notorious B.L.T. and the Fergalicious (fried chicken with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions).
When it’s time to order, Phat Stax offers three unique menu categories: Phatties, Side Chicks, and Dogg Pounds. Phatties are deluxe burgers that are the good kind of phat. The Notorious B.L.T. is just one example of a phatty that you won’t soon forget. Made up of an angus patty with guac, savory strips of bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Next up, Phat Stax has a whole crew of Side Chicks to chillax and enjoy such as the Cardi B.B.Q., which is grilled chicken with BBQ sauce, Colby jack, and an onion ring. If you decide to order from the Dogg Pound, you’ll end up with options like the Ruff Ryder, which is two hot dogs with Texas chili and shredded cheese.
From Phatties to Side Chicks to Dogg Pounds, the food at Phat Stax is guaranteed to be fresh and fly. Get a taste for yourself when Phat Stax Burgers rolls up to the Great New Mexico Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, March 26.

Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck
For authentic European street food from Germany, look no further than the Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck. According to the Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck website, after traveling through Europe, the truck’s owners sought to bring one of the exciting and unique flavors they discovered throughout Eastern Europe back to the United States. Ever since starting their business in 2015, the Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck has brought a taste of Europe to New Mexico.
What makes a Döner Kebab unique? The Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck website describes the history and cooking process and can be read by clicking here. Unlike other types of kebab, the Döner Kebab isn’t served on a skewer. The process starts by cooking meat on a vertical rotisserie grill, also known as a spit. As the meat is seasoned and cooked on the rotisserie, the outer layer is sliced into thin shavings and is served either on a plate, stuffed into a pita or bread as a sandwich, or wrapped in a thin flatbread with various accompaniments.
Döner Kebabs are healthy and nutritionally balanced, and you can try them at the Great New Mexico Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, March 26! For more information on The Gourmet Döner Kebab Food Truck, you can visit their website by clicking here.
Refreshments and Desserts
A variety of trucks with refreshments and desserts will accompany the massive amount of over 30 food trucks that will be at the Great New Mexico Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival! This festival is a premier Food Truck and Craft Beer experience, so it’s important for us to ensure that a diverse variety of options will be available to enjoy!
Sugar N Glitz is New Mexico’s first mobile bakery and coffee-only food truck with a unique story. When the pandemic first started in 2020, then 13-year-old Genesis Hernandez started the Sugar N Glitz food truck with help from her family.
Hernandez has been cooking since she was around six years old and bakes sugary
sweets such as triple-fudge brownie bites, quarter-pound chocolate chip cookies, cakesicles, churro cheesecake bites, and dipped strawberries. A passion for Food Trucking quickly spread through the Hernandez family and Genesis’s dad opened Sueños Coffee Co., a walk-in mobile coffee shop. Sugar N Glitz and Sueños Coffee Co. will be serving up sweets and coffee at the Great New Mexico Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, March 26.
Other refreshments and desserts that will be at the festival include Bing Tea’s boba tea, Busy Bee Frozen Custard, Pica Sweet’s hot and spicy selection of candies, and With Love Waffles’ dessert-style waffles and wafflewiches!
Brews
