Coming soon to Mesa: Business licenses and food truck permits. While Mesa has plenty of food trucks slinging tacos and burgers â notably at the Feastable Forrest every Saturday evening at Pioneer Park â they are currently considered âpeddlers.â After a study session on the topic, Mesa City Council will vote this month on removing food truck employees from having peddler licenses, which require background checks, and creating a new category of âmobile food vendors.â A presentation stressed this would be a quicker process for the food trucks, which would have annual inspections and pay $100 per year. The annual fee for peddlers and solicitors is proposed to increase from $30 to $100.
