How to Name a Taco Truck

hardshell tacos

Hard shell tacos.

While it may be exciting to name your taco Truck, it is important to make sure that your name is right for you and your business. When people ask “what’s in a name?” the answer is “Everything”. Naming your Taco Truck is one of the most important steps in setting up your new business, and sorting through the gamut of potential names can be a tedious process. Time take to carefully consider your name.

One best practice is to come up with something memorable, so that people can remember it easily, without having to rack their brains for the name when asked about the best truck in town. The more people that remember your name, the more customers you’ll have. Try telling ten friends your prospective name, and then ask them a week later to identify how many remember. If no one can remember, move on to the next idea.

Much as crazy names for food trucks have become quite a trend over the years, they can be a little frustrating for the customers. If you are considering online advertising, then a more phonetic name will help people Google the name after hearing it, without it needing to be spelled out for them.

You should also consider the oral aspect of the name, especially if you are considering using puns and strange spellings. While it might look good on paper, it may not translate phonetically when it is spoken out loud.

Your name should also be as unique as possible. Having two taco trucks in the same area with similar names can get confusing for the customers. Do a local search for taco trucks in your area to ensure yours is unique.

Food trucks are noted for their colorful and often crazy imaging, and you should consider this as well when deciding on your Taco Truck name. While having little Mexicans in sombreros and dancing tacos on the side might be fun, you need to ensure that your Taco Truck name will stand out in the midst of all this colorful imagery.
