Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Portland Studio Set
Keeping a film crew happy during a long shoot in Portland—whether you’re on a soundstage in North Portland or blocking off SW Stark for a night scene—starts with great food. Best Food Trucks partners with the Rose City’s most iconic mobile kitchens to deliver fresh, locally sourced meals right when the director calls “Lunch!” Our team has catered everything from Hulu pilots in the Pearl District to indie projects under the St. Johns Bridge, so we know exactly how to keep cast and crew fueled and on schedule.
We’ll collaborate with your production manager to build rotating daily menus that feature Portland favorites like the Korean-BBQ-with-a-twist from Kim Jong Grillin, authentic street tacos from Amelia’s Food Cart, or crowd-pleasing tamales from Tamale Boy. Craving something different for breakfast call times? Café de Crêpe can roll up to your lot with sweet and savory crêpes, while late-night shoots can wrap with rich mole plates from Mole Mole Mexican Cuisine.
From scouting the best parking spot on a tight SE Hawthorne street to securing Portland Bureau of Transportation permits, we handle the logistics so you don’t have to. Our online preorder system streamlines ordering and pickup, minimizing lines and maximizing time in front of the camera. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis that fits within your production budget—no surprise overages when the credits roll.
Choosing food truck catering for your studio set helps keep Portland green as well. Mobile kitchens generate significantly less food and packaging waste compared to traditional buffets, and many of our partner trucks compost and source ingredients from local farmers’ markets. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your Portland studio production, so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot against our famous misty skyline.
Fueling Portland’s Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot in Portland isn’t just convenient, it’s a direct investment in the city’s vibrant small-business scene. Nearly every rig we roll onto your set—from the vintage Airstreams in Sellwood to the repurposed school buses on Mississippi Avenue—is owned and operated by solo entrepreneurs or tight-knit families who call Portland home. Your catering dollars stay in the community, helping these local chefs pay staff, buy produce from Sauvie Island farms, and keep Portland’s culinary creativity alive.
Food trucks are also an eco-friendly win. Compared with traditional buffet catering, mobile kitchens draw less power, produce fewer single-use plastics, and many already separate compost thanks to the City of Portland’s green bin program. That means your production’s sustainability report looks as good as your dailies.
So the next time you punch “low-budget film catering near me” or “food truck catering for studio in Portland” into your search bar, skip the generic options and talk to Best Food Trucks. We’ll match you with a locally owned truck that serves unforgettable food and keeps the Rose City economy—and your cast and crew—humming.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
