Food Truck Catering for Events in Chicago

Whether you’re hosting a corporate outing at Millennium Park, a summer festival on the Lakefront, or a block party in Logan Square, nothing keeps guests happier than a lineup of Chicago’s best food trucks. Gone are the days when event planners had to wrestle with pop-up tents, external generators, and hours of setup. Today’s Chicago food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, Chicago Health Department permits in hand, and enough culinary firepower to feed a crowd faster than the “L” at rush hour.

Chicago’s food truck scene is as diverse as our neighborhoods. Craving smoky barbecue? Soul & Smoke can park right next to your stage and serve brisket worthy of a Bears tailgate. Want Latin flavors with a Venezuelan twist? La Cocinita Chicago brings arepas and patacones that heat up even a chilly evening at Navy Pier. Looking for handheld comforts? The Fat Shallot turns out gourmet sandwiches that rival any deli on Clark Street, while 5411 Empanadas fills the air with the aroma of freshly baked Argentinian pockets. If an Italian vibe fits your event playlist, La Comodita delivers Sicilian street eats perfect for a Pilsen art walk or a Loop happy hour.

From outdoor movie nights in Grant Park to private weddings overlooking the Chicago River, renting food trucks for events gives you flexibility tent vendors simply can’t match. Each truck arrives self-powered, minimizes cleanup, and offers menus that can be customized for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free guests—keeping everyone in the Second City satisfied. Book Chicago food truck catering today and turn your next event into the talk of the town, faster than you can say “Go Cubs Go.”

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 :)
