Food Truck Catering for Events in Chicago

In Chicago, the city of festivals, fireworks at Navy Pier, and summertime movies in Millennium Park, great food is as important as great music. That’s why more planners are choosing food truck catering for events in Chicago instead of the old-school tent kitchens that need generators, extra permits, and half a day of set-up.

Modern food trucks roll up with fully licensed commercial kitchens, serve fast, and roll out when the party’s over—no mess, no hassle. When you rent food trucks for events in Chicago, you’re giving guests the freedom to explore the city’s diverse culinary scene without ever leaving your block party, corporate outing, or rooftop wedding.

Best Food Trucks can curate an entire curbside restaurant row for you. Imagine the crowd cheering on a live Blues set while savoring Venezuelan arepas from the bright-red La Cocinita Chicago. A few steps away, the irresistible smell of hickory-smoked brisket drifts from Soul & Smoke, Chicago’s go-to for barbecue and soul food. Craving a gourmet sandwich? The Fat Shallot piles high its famous truffle BLT, while 5411 Empanadas serves Argentinian hand pies that disappear faster than a Cubs homer at Wrigley. Need an Italian twist? La Comodita dishes out Sicilian street classics perfect for pairing with a local IPA.

From South Side block parties to West Loop tech mixers, food truck catering in Chicago delivers variety, speed, and that unmistakable Windy City flavor. Book today and turn your next event into a taste tour of Chicago’s best streets—no deep-dish required!

Conference catering

Skip the line—grab a bite, then get back to the show!

Chicagoans don’t wait around—especially when the Sox are up or the DJ is spinning house classics. Thanks to Best Food Trucks’ lightning-fast online ordering system, your guests can tap in their order from anywhere at the venue—whether they’re snapping selfies against the skyline or cheering on a charity 5K along the Lakefront Trail. Once their empanadas, brisket sliders, or truffle BLT is ready, they’ll get a text and stroll right up to the truck for pickup. No L-train-length lines, no missing the headliner.

Hosting a corporate luncheon in the West Loop or a wedding on a River North rooftop? Send out a pre-order link so attendees can schedule a precise pickup time before doors even open. It’s the smartest way to keep the focus on your Chicago event while still serving the city’s best street-food flavors. Food trucks + online ordering = a smoother, tastier Windy City experience!

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)
