Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools and Campuses
From the South Loop to Rogers Park, Chicago’s students know that few things beat the excitement of seeing a colorful food truck roll up between classes. Best Food Trucks makes food truck catering for school in Chicago simple, fast, and fun. Whether you’re feeding a CPS elementary school after a field day at Lincoln Park Zoo, keeping DePaul undergrads fueled during finals, or hosting a Friday night lights game at Lane Tech, we deliver the city’s best mobile kitchens directly to your campus.
Our proprietary online ordering platform slashes lunch-line wait times, so kids and faculty spend less time in queues and more time enjoying the fresh lake breeze—or getting to their next class before the “L” rumbles by. Just pick your menu, set your schedule, and we’ll handle the rest.
Because Chicago’s tastes are as diverse as its neighborhoods, we partner with a curated roster of Windy City favorites: crave smoky brisket from Soul & Smoke after a UIC Flames basketball game, grab sizzling arepas from La Cocinita Chicago on the Loyola quad, or let students build their own gourmet sandwiches with The Fat Shallot during a Northwestern tailgate.
Need vegetarian or nut-free options? Our lineup has you covered. Pass around baked Argentinian classics from 5411 Empanadas during a PTO fundraiser, or treat the school band to Sicilian street-food favorites from La Comodita before the big parade on State Street.
With Best Food Trucks, administrators stay focused on education while we handle permits, scheduling, and vendor selection. The result: unforgettable school events, happy students, and a true taste of Chicago—one food truck at a time.
Matt,
You and the Best Food Trucks team knocked it out of the park again this year. From Welcome Week on DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus to our late-night study break downtown, your food truck catering for school in Chicago kept our students smiling—and well fed—even when the lake-effect winds started to howl.
Thanks for being an A+ partner!
— Sarah, Student Life Coordinator
