Fresh, Maine-Made Meals Delivered Right to Your Portland Studio Set!

Whether you’re filming a seaside scene at Fort Gorges, a downtown shoot on Congress Street, or a night exterior on Munjoy Hill, Best Food Trucks keeps your crew fueled and on schedule with top-notch food truck catering for studios in Portland, ME. Our local team understands the unique cadence of film production in the Pine Tree State, from unpredictable Casco Bay weather to those early call times when the fog still hugs Back Cove.

We partner with some of Portland’s favorite mobile kitchens—think gooey comfort classics from PB&ME, creative takes on a summertime staple at Mainely Hotdogs, delicate sweet and savory crêpes from Crepe Elizabeth, vegan-friendly fairground treats at Fred's Fried Dough, and crispy chicken perfection courtesy of Frozen Rooster.

Our studio catering experts will craft rotating daily menus that highlight Maine’s seasonal bounty—wild blueberries in July, maple drizzle in March, and hearty root veggies when the chill rolls in off the Atlantic. We’ll pinpoint optimal serving locations for quick walk-ups, streamline mobile ordering so grips and gaffers aren’t stuck in line, verify every vendor’s insurance and city permits, and provide a clear cost breakdown that respects your production budget.

Choosing food truck catering for your Portland studio not only delights cast and crew, it also cuts down on food and packaging waste—so you can keep your carbon footprint as small as a Maine lobster boat’s wake. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals while you focus on getting that perfect shot of Portland Head Light. From sunrise coffee service to late-night wrap snacks, we’ve got your set covered.

Fueling Portland (ME) Productions—And the Small Businesses Behind Them

Booking food truck catering for your Portland studio shoot does more than fill hungry stomachs—it keeps our city’s independent culinary scene thriving. Every lobster roll, banh mi, or whoopie-pie sundae you order puts revenue directly into the hands of family-run trucks parked all over the Old Port, Bayside, and Deering.

Because these rolling kitchens operate with compact equipment and minimal staff, they draw far less power than a brick-and-mortar caterer and produce considerably less packaging waste. Most Portland trucks already partner with Garbage to Garden for composting, and many run on biodiesel sourced right here in Maine. Choosing a truck is an easy way to lower your production’s carbon footprint while staying true to the Pine Tree State’s eco-friendly ethos.

So the next time your production manager types “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Portland ME” into a search bar, skip the generic options and call Best Food Trucks. We’ll connect you with the city’s most creative, sustainable mobile chefs—ensuring every take is powered by fresh, locally made flavor.

We had a great experience with TNT Mexican Grill. The food was delicious, service was fast and organized, and the team handled our group efficiently. They took orders quickly and served everyone in a timely manner, which made the event run smoothly. The only small suggestion would be to have a separate table for churros and napkins, as they were a bit hard to see and grab from the service window. Overall, excellent service and great food. We would definitely work with them again.

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!
