Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools and Campuses
From early-morning classes in the Loop to Friday night football on the North Side, Chicago schools move fast—and so do we. Best Food Trucks is the Windy City’s one-stop solution for school food truck catering in Chicago. Whether you’re feeding a crowd at DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus, organizing a field day at Whitney Young, or simply trying to upgrade daily lunch at CPS, our on-campus food truck program keeps students and staff happy, well-fed, and back to class without the long cafeteria wait.
Our proprietary online ordering system lets hungry Ramblers, Phoenixes, and Maroons tap their phones, skip the line, and grab their meal faster than the “L” from Howard to 95th. You pick the time slot, we coordinate the trucks, handle permits, and make sure every dietary request—from gluten-free to vegan—has a delicious match.
Best Food Trucks works with the city’s most loved mobile kitchens, so your menu can travel the globe without leaving the quad:
- La Cocinita Chicago serves Venezuelan-inspired Latin bowls and arepas so flavorful they’ll make a Lake Shore Drive breeze feel tropical.
- Soul & Smoke rolls up with hickory-kissed barbecue perfect for post-game refuels in Evanston or the West Loop.
- The Fat Shallot cranks out gourmet sandwiches—think truffle BLTs and buffalo chicken—that turn any study break into a foodie field trip.
- 5411 Empanadas delivers piping-hot Argentinian pockets ideal for students hustling between lectures at UIC or Columbia College.
- La Comodita brings Sicilian street eats like arancini and cannoli, giving Italian class a delicious new meaning.
Need halal, nut-free, or kosher options for your Chicago school event? No problem. Our vast vendor network ensures every dietary box is checked. From South Side charter school carnivals to University of Chicago grad mixers, we make catering simple, affordable, and downright fun.
Ready to elevate lunch period? Let Best Food Trucks handle the scheduling and vendor selection, while you focus on creating memorable moments for your students and faculty. Reach out today and discover why we’re Chicago’s top choice for food truck catering for schools.
Matt,
You and the Best Food Trucks crew knocked it out of the park at every one of our Chicago campuses this year. From Rogers Park to the Water Tower, the service was seamless and the Ramblers are still raving about the eats. Thanks for being such a reliable partner!
