Street Food Institute | Eat
Our food trucks, café and custom catering offer experience for students and outstanding food for you or your event.
The Trucks
An essential learning tool in the SFI Training Program is our fleet of three food trucks where students can take classroom skills right to the street.
SFI trucks are open for business throughout the community at busy local venues, special events and catering assignments where they serve healthy, affordable and creatively prepared meals.
Under professional supervision, SFI students take care of business, sourcing, preparing, cooking, serving and managing the day’s receipts.
As regular SFI customers will tell you, pride is on every menu, everyday. These motivated students are known for their exceptionally delicious, professionally prepared and truly inspired meals.
With three full time food trucks in service, chances are an SFI food truck is somewhere close to you right now.

CNM Campus Café
A key component of the SFI program is the SFI Café located in the Student Services Center on the Central New Mexico Community College Main Campus.
Created in partnership with CNM, SFI Café is in essence, a business incubator where current and former culinary students as well as graduate start-ups come to develop, test and refine their skills, products and entrepreneurial concepts in a real world business environment.
The Café has become a popular, thriving center where students, faculty, employees and CNM visitors can enjoy a delectable array of café-style foods and beverages.
In addition to SFI interns who prepare daily menu items such as savory breakfast burritos, sandwich wraps, salads and soups, The Café also integrates several local, small businesses owned and operated by former SFI and CNM students.
Besides a comfortable place to relax and enjoy great food, the SFI Café serves as a powerful demonstration of how foodservice education inspires creativity, creates opportunity and enriches our community.
