Cơm Tấm Bà Thi, the Vietnamese food truck that turned a Walzem Road parking lot into a nightly destination, is hitting pause on wheels as it rolls toward a permanent home in Windcrest. The truck is closed for all of March while the team moves into Suite 101 at 4941 Walzem Road, with a target opening date of April 5. Regulars can expect the same cơm tấm, bún thịt nướng and cháo lòng, just served inside a small strip center instead of under parking-lot lights.
According to MySA, the business told customers on Facebook, "We will be closed all of March and will be open at the new location on April 5." MySA also noted that reporters were unable to reach the operators by phone or Facebook at the time of publication, which fits the vibe of a crew juggling a full-scale move.
Storefront Push And Local Backing
The new spot is not some spur-of-the-moment pivot. The Windcrest Economic Development Corporation packet lists a Storefront & Streetscape Grant application tied to the project, pointing to a planned buildout rather than a casual lease-up. City meeting records show that retail units at 4941 Walzem Road have hosted restaurants in prior years, so Cơm Tấm Bà Thi is stepping into a space with a food-friendly past. The filing and property history appear in documents from the Windcrest EDC and in city meeting records.
From Pep Boys Parking To An Indoor Counter
Before locking in a roof and four walls, the truck built its following by drawing lines of customers along Walzem Road. Mapping services place its usual setup at roughly 5616 Walzem Road, in the Pep Boys parking area, where evening orders and plastic tables did steady work night after night. Local directories and map listings show that Walzem lot as the truck's address and are filled with community reviews praising its nighttime service. MapQuest reflects the truck's Walzem location.
What To Expect When Doors Open
The brick-and-mortar menu is expected to stick with the hits that made the truck a favorite. MySA lists bún thịt nướng, cơm gà sốt mắm tỏi and cháo lòng among the staples likely to carry over, and the team is still circling April 5 as opening day. Fans should keep an eye on the shop's social channels for the exact grand-opening time and initial hours. If the new counter follows the truck's habits, expect evening service and takeout to be the first pieces to click into place.
