Hot, Customizable Meals on Set—New Orleans Style!

From the sound stages of the Lower Garden District to a sunrise shoot on the banks of the Mississippi, Best Food Trucks delivers authentic New Orleans food truck catering for studio productions of every size. Our crew has years of experience feeding film and television teams across the Crescent City, so we know how to keep a tight schedule rolling and a hungry cast and crew happy. We’ll build rotating daily menus packed with local favorites—shrimp po’ boys, jambalaya, even a little lagniappe for dessert—while still offering vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options for the most persnickety eaters.

We handle it all: pinpointing the best parking spot for service, setting up stress-free online ordering and pickup, and vetting every truck for current Orleans Parish permits and insurance. Your production accountant will appreciate our transparent cost summaries and portion controls that slash the food and packaging waste you get with traditional buffets. Using self-contained food trucks is cleaner, greener, and keeps your set looking as sharp as a brand-new Mardi Gras bead.

Ready to give the crew a taste of the Big Easy? Book local legends such as the crave-worthy Creole Tomateaux, the Latin flair of La Cocinita NOLA, gourmet dawgs from Diva Dawg Food Truck, soulful plates by Kingdom Cafe 7003 LLC, or smoky BBQ from NeauxLA RolLA. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of studio catering in New Orleans—so you can keep the cameras rolling and the second line marching.

Fueling the Set While Backing New Orleans Small Businesses

Every time you book Best Food Trucks for studio catering in New Orleans, you put more than a hot plate in a grip’s hands—you put money straight into the pockets of the city’s own mom-and-pop culinary crews. Most of our trucks are run by New Orleanians who learned their recipes from a grandma in Gentilly or an uncle in Treme, so your production dollars stay right here in the Crescent City economy.

Food truck catering for studios is also lighter on the planet than the “chafing-dish and clamshell” routine. Self-contained kitchens sip far less electricity, and our digital ordering system cuts food waste faster than you can say “Take two.” Fewer generators humming, smaller trash piles on set, and more miles left in those oak-lined streets of Uptown—that’s an eco-win New Orleans can dance to.

So next time a producer yells, “Find low-budget film catering near me,” answer with a local truck that keeps both the cameras and the community rolling. From dawn shoots in City Park to late-night pickups on Frenchmen, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering New Orleans crews love—socially responsible, budget-friendly, and unmistakably NOLA.

That was just about the best chicken I have ever had. The crunch, the taste, the moisture was all delicious.

The food was delicious The fries were good and I was late picking up so if I was on time and the food was hot I can't imagine how scrumptious it all would have been. I had the briscuit and my husband had the Philly cheese steak and they were both filling enough that we could save half each for tomorrow's lunch. I got an order of boom boom sauce just so I could know whether I should order the sandwich that has it the next time. I think I will; it has just enough of a kick, but not too much that it will cause me heartburn. Loved it.

The spice levels were 1-5 I chose 1 (I don't like very spicy foods). However, I found it to be quite spicy which is why I rated it a four. Otherwise the food was very well made.

The jerk chicken taco and vegan carnitas taco were both so good and fresh. The service at the truck was very friendly and quick.

Very kind to warm up my fries at pickup since my coworkers picked it up at late and it was delicious!

Everything was very good as well as fresh. I think the burger could have used more seasoning but that is only a preference and not a negative.

The french fries were good but overly salty. . . The truck arrived an hour & half or more late after we already ordered and paid around 5:30! Customers were not notified of when they were arriving.

The service is consistently incredible and the flavor, fresheness and amount of food was perfect. I was craving tacos for weeks and knew I would be satisfied ordering from Moms Tacos!

Turkey wrap was fresh as well as the pasta salad. Many times the pasta salad is "wilted and soggy" via other venues; NoT the case with Livvi's--everything was perfect, including the hospitality!!
