Food Truck Catering for Parties in Chicago
Planning a party in Chicago—whether it’s a backyard bash in Lincoln Park, a milestone birthday in a West Loop loft, or a graduation celebration steps from Millennium Park—can feel as nerve-racking as watching the Cubs in extra innings. The last thing you need is kitchen chaos or lukewarm delivery. Skip the stress and book food truck catering for parties in Chicago with Best Food Trucks. We bring the city’s best mobile kitchens right to your curb so you keep every square foot of party space mess-free and your guests raving about the food.
Our lineup features some of the most loved local trucks on the streets of Chi-Town:
- La Cocinita Chicago rolls in with Venezuelan-inspired Latin American street eats that turn any patio or rooftop into a fiesta.
- Nothing says “sweet home Chicago” like smoky ribs and mac from Soul & Smoke, a barbecue legend born in Evanston and now cruising the Loop.
- If gourmet sandwiches are more your style, The Fat Shallot delivers crowd-pleasers like their truffle BLT that locals chase from the Merchandise Mart to Revival Food Hall.
- Hand-held perfection comes courtesy of 5411 Empanadas, baking up Argentinian empanadas that pair perfectly with a craft beer along the Riverwalk.
- And for a taste of Sicily under the Chicago skyline, La Comodita serves arancini and fresh-made pasta right out of their vibrant truck.
From Wrigleyville block parties to South Loop corporate gatherings, Best Food Trucks handles all logistics—routing, permits, and on-site service—so you can focus on clinking glasses and capturing skyline selfies.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

Showed up on time and very pleasant throughout. The food was fabulous. They served regular fries vs. asparagus fries, though we were not bothered by this. Would hire again.
