Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Raleigh & Durham

The Triangle loves to mingle—and nothing brings people together faster than great music at Red Hat Amphitheater, tailgating outside PNC Arena, or cheering on the Durham Bulls in the shadow of the Lucky Strike tower. Wherever the crowd gathers, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable large-scale food truck catering in Raleigh and Durham. Our local partner trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, eliminating the headaches of pop-up tents, extra permits, and long setup times.

From Hopscotch Music Festival in downtown Raleigh to the American Dance Festival on Duke’s campus, our roster of trucks keeps lines moving and guests happy. We coordinate multiple vendors, power, spacing, and menu variety so you can focus on the show—not the chafing dishes. Whether you need gourmet Mediterranean, sizzling street tacos, or a scratch-made Southern bistro menu, we’ll build the perfect lineup for crowds of 500 or 15,000.

Here are a few Raleigh-Durham favorites ready to serve your next festival or corporate takeover:

  • Poblanos Tacos — Authentic Mexican street eats that pair perfectly with a summer concert at Dorothea Dix Park.
  • Mama Voula's — Mediterranean comfort food crafted by the Triangle’s own “Mama,” fueling everything from RTP biotech picnics to NC State homecoming.
  • Shmack'n Plates Bistro — Chef-driven American bistro plates that turn Moore Square into a foodie playground.
  • La Republica — Bold Mexican-fusion flavors that light up City Plaza during First Friday.
  • El Jefecito — Raleigh’s go-to for loaded burritos and elote when the Wolfpack packs Carter-Finley.

When you book with Best Food Trucks, you get real-time ordering apps, on-site service staff, and proven experience feeding massive Triangle events. Contact us today for seamless Raleigh-Durham food truck catering for large-scale events and watch the lines—and the compliments—flow.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

The turkey burger was very well made and the fries were salted and spiced just right. Good crunch too.

Even though burger was a bit cold because I got there later, it had good flavor with spice level, texture was still firm and buns were not soggy or greasy

El Jefecito was so easy to work with. The tacos were delicious and the churros were out of this world. Our employees kept going back for a second Churro.

Lost my order. Had to show phone confirmation, then wait. Had 5:55 pick up time, but didn't get food until after 6:15

Brought both the fish and shrimp plates. Wish the fish plate came with slices of bread to make a sandwich but overall the food was great

The food was great and my team really enjoyed it. They were very prepared and had all of the food ready in just over an hour. Would definitely hire them again!

Frank and the crew were very friendly and accommodated those with dietary restrictions (GF, vegetarian, etc.) They even decided to set up cash payment so they could service a few other guests from another part of our organization that did not have tickets. The service was pretty fast, despite the line. The food was really good and I had several peoplke comment to me that they enjoyed the food very much. The food truck made the event a complete success, especially on this hot day! I would definitely use them again for another event and I will provide positive feedback to our property managers in hopes they will put Mama Voula's truck on our weekly Tuesday Food Truck rotation.
