The Carlson Law Firm Completes 3rd Hispanic Heritage Food Tour 2026
[TEMPLE, BRYAN AND WICHITA FALLS]—The Carlson Law Firm brought communities together in Temple, Bryan and Wichita Falls during its third annual Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Food Truck Tour, celebrating Hispanic culture and supporting local businesses with free meals and opportunities to connect.
The 2026 tour featured three stops on Sept. 18, Oct. 2 and Oct. 16, the participation of Hispanic-owned food truck businesses that contributed their flavors and stories to this celebration.
Temple Kicks Off the Tour With a Record Turnout
More than 90 community members gathered at our Temple office on Sept. 18 for the firm’s largest Hispanic Heritage Month celebration to date.
Our local legal team welcomed families and local businesses for a celebration of Hispanic culture, food and community. Attendees were greeted with aguas frescas, a commemorative gift and the opportunity to participate in a giveaway.
The highlight of the event, Antojitos Don Chuy, served birria, carne asada and chicken tacos with rice and beans. JohnJohn of Artist 2 Artist Showcase also joined the celebration to capture the gathering in photographs just days before hosting his Tamales, Tacos y Cumbias festival in Temple.
“Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month gives us an opportunity to recognize the culture and traditions that have shaped the lives of so many families in our community,” said Alejandro López, an attorney at The Carlson Law Firm. “Seeing nearly 100 people gathered at our Temple office made this year’s celebration especially meaningful.”
Bryan Builds on Lasting Connections with the Hispanic Community
The tour’s second stop brought 75 community members together in Bryan on Friday, Oct. 2, for free meals from local food truck Del Rancho Pal Rancho.
The gathering gave our team a chance to spend time with neighbors and celebrate the contributions of the Hispanic community in Bryan-College Station. Sharing a meal also offered an opportunity to recognize the local businesses that are part of everyday life in our communities.
For The Carlson Law Firm’s Bryan team, led by partner Kathryn Knotts, cultivating relationships in the community is a natural extension of their commitment to the people they serve. The celebration is another example of the connections the Bryan team has forged with local Hispanic-supporting non-profits and events such as the Hispanic Forum of Bryan-College Station and our participation in BCS Fiestas Patrias. These relationships give our team opportunities to support and be present with the local Hispanic community throughout the year.
Wichita Falls Hosts the Final Stop of the 2026 Tour
On Friday, Oct. 16, 63 members of the Wichita Falls community joined us from noon to 1 p.m. for the culmination of the 2026 Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Food Truck Tour. Attendees enjoyed free meals served by El Norteño, a Hispanic-owned business that has become a local favorite.
The tour wrapped up with tacos, friendly conversations, and a family story of perseverance. As guests arrived, a well-timed cloud provided some welcome shade, making the wait a comfortable opportunity to strike up conversations with neighbors. Guests chose from chicken fajita, beef fajita, al pastor and carnitas taco plates.
Víctor, manager of the Norteño on Wheels food truck, shared his family’s story with our team. The family business began with an idea his father had 14 years ago after noticing that the city needed more places to get tacos. That idea became their first venture: El Norteño Restaurant.
Through hard work and perseverance, the family now owns the original restaurant and two Norteño on Wheels food trucks. Along with serving delicious Tex-Mex dishes, their businesses have created jobs across their locations.
Celebrating Hispanic Heritage
The variety of foods and traditions in our communities enriches our lives and gives us a reason to gather around the table. Each stop on our third annual Hispanic Heritage Food Truck Tour offered a chance to share a meal, hear someone’s story and strengthen our connections with the people we serve.
The Carlson Law Firm values the contributions of Hispanic-owned food businesses and welcomed the opportunity to support them by hiring them to serve our guests. Special thanks to Antojitos Don Chuy, Del Rancho Pal Rancho and El Norteño for exceeding our expectations. Their delicious food and excellent service helped make each stop a memorable celebration of Hispanic heritage and community.
