I have been thinking of opening a restaurant but want to start small because I don't have a lot of startup money to work with. In the city food stands are pretty popular around colleges, downtown, and hospitals. Because a food cart is small but workable (as far as finances and location are concerned) I thought this might be the perfect way to get my foot in the door.
I want it to be mexican food...mainly make your own burrito type of food...a couple different types of beans, rice, meats, and all the toppings. Also, I would specialize in homemade salsas.
Some of my immediate family thinks this is a horrible idea. But none of them live in the city so I am not sure if their opinion is what I should go by. Everyday in major cities people buy from food carts. I know having a clean appearance, quick service, and good food priced reasonably is the key to win customers over.
What do you think? Would you buy lunch from a food cart?
