Owner Carlos Serrano announced the move on Facebook Wednesday.

"Brick Twp has opened their arms to Empanada Guy!!!!!?? Our new permanent location will be at Ocean Ice Palace, 197 Chambersbridge Road," said Serrano.

The food truck is expected to up and running by February 1, or sooner, according ot Serrano.

Serrano has appeared on shows such as Lifetime's "Supermarket Superstar," and the Food Network's "Beat Bobby Flay."

Last year, Serrano expressed interest in seeking a mobile food vendor license in Toms River, but the Township Council refused to change a 1973 ordinance limiting mobile food vendors to 30 minutes at a single location.

Small business owners were opposed to the idea, contending food trucks were not subject to the same overhead costs of a brick-and-mortar restaurant.
