New York Taco Truck Catering
There’s nothing quite like biting into a hot, hand-pressed tortilla stuffed with slow-braised birria or sizzling carne asada while the lights of Times Square or the skyline of Lower Manhattan glow in the background. Taco trucks are part of the city’s culinary rhythm—whether they’re parked near Wall Street for the lunch rush, serving night-owls in Bushwick, or anchoring a weekend wedding upstate. If you’ve caught yourself googling “taco truck near me in New York,” you’re in the right place. Best Food Trucks makes booking a taco truck for catering in New York quick, reliable, and delicious.
For an authentic taste of Mexico that travels anywhere from Midtown rooftops to Brooklyn backyards, check out Tacos El Poblanito.

One bite and you’ll understand why it’s a tri-state favorite.

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

What's the ingredients in the wacamole aioli? It's the small green sauce. I have certain food allergies.

Needed more sauce for tacos and maybe include a few chips/tortilla chips to both orders to make a more complete order for the price.

Silvas Tacos was great! The truck showed up ready and on time, the communication was smooth, the food was excellent. Everyone was happy and we will hire them again for our next event.

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!

Food was good but the service was lacking. I placed a preorder for 5:25pm. I received an email at 5:25pm that my order was ready. I went to pick it up and finally got my order at 6:30 pm and that was after having to remind the crew what I ordered and paid for one hour and 45 minutes earlier. They evidently lost my order.
