The truck yard is located near Deep Ellum, downtown Dallas. It is a cozy courtyard of food trucks and a unique food truck bar. Great place to relax before a show or night out. Unique in Dallas. I suggest a visit, even just for a snack. Greenville Ave is host to many bars, music venues, comedy shows and piano bar.
