MEET DENFTA
The top street food vendors in Phoenix are gathered together by the Denver Food Truck Association, or DENFTA. They are a varied and carefully selected group of culinary experts who work in the greater Phoenix area.
We are dedicated to bringing Denverites and our members together for distinctive food truck catering experiences because we think that food unites people. At the same time, we are working hard to preserve Phoenix's famous street food culture thru our advocacy work.
Above all, we are community-driven, constantly striving to maintain excellent food, uphold street safety, and improve the whole food truck experience.

Advocacy and Empowerment
In two distinctive and significant ways, the Denver Food Truck Association supports local food truck businesses.
First, thru event catering and other sources of income, DENFTA makes sure that our vendors are open to a world of new business opportunities. Because Ben Goldberg, a former food truck owner who saw firsthand how difficult it can be to rely only on erratic street sales, founded DENFTA, our organization is set up to make sure our vendors remain relevant and active year-round thru these catering opportunities, which in turn enable our members to expand their businesses.
Second, in order to represent the interests of our members and the food truck industry as a whole, DENFTA devotes a substantial amount of time and resources to lobbying the local and state governments. We stay up to date on any potential policy, rule, or regulation changes that directly affect our members. Since DENFTA is constantly monitoring the industry, we can use our knowledge to help local mobile businesses be heard.
