Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Studio Set in New Orleans!
Shooting in “Hollywood South” means long days on the bayou—and hungry cast and crew who expect authentic flavor delivered fast. Best Food Trucks specializes in studio food truck catering in New Orleans, handling everything from the Lower Garden District to the soundstages in Harahan. We build rotating daily menus that spotlight local legends like Creole Tomateaux, smoky perfection from NeauxLA RolLA, and crowd-pleasing comforts from Kingdom Cafe 7003 llc.
Our on-site coordinators work with your AD team to map the best service spots—whether that’s tucked beside a 200-year-old oak in City Park or behind the warehouse stages on Tchoupitoulas. Ordering is streamlined through our mobile app, pickups run like a second-line parade, and every vendor is fully vetted for permits, insurance, and ServSafe certifications.
Need a little lagniappe? Treat the night-shoot crew to Cajun comfort from Kenny’s Cajun & Creole Cuisine on the Geaux or a late-night “Diva Dawg” topped with red-bean chili and fried chicken from Diva Dawg Food Truck. Our detailed cost summaries keep your production accountant smiling, and because food trucks generate far less packaging waste than boxed catering, your set stays greener than the oaks on St. Charles Avenue.
From sunrise call times to last-look wraps, let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics for your New Orleans studio. We’ll feed the crew, you roll the cameras—laissez les bons temps rouler!
Fueling Your Set—and NOLA’s Mom-and-Pop Food Scene
Booking a studio food truck in New Orleans isn’t just smart logistics—it’s a direct investment in the Crescent City’s small-business heartbeat. Most of the trucks we roll onto your lot are owned by second-generation cooks from Gentilly, husband-and-wife BBQ teams out of Algiers, or culinary school grads hustling their first po-boy concept in the Marigny. Every order of crawfish mac or sugar-dusted beignets keeps dollars circulating right here on the Mississippi River bend.
Food truck catering for New Orleans film sets is also lighter on the planet than traditional buffet service. Self-contained kitchens mean lower power pulls from your generator, and our compostable serving ware keeps landfill waste lower than the levees. We even coordinate oil recycling with local bio-fuel co-ops—talk about green screen!
So next time the UPM Googles “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering New Orleans,” remember that Best Food Trucks can feed your cast, crew, and community in one flavorful swoop. Hit us up, let the good times (and the economy) roll, and watch your set run smoother than a brass line down Frenchmen Street.

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 :)

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

The last sure times I've placed a order the burrito has been busted open on one or both sides. Other than that, it's been delicious.
