Best Food Trucks brings the top hot dog food truck catering in Tacoma right to your curb, office lot, or waterfront party on Ruston Way.

Best Food Trucks brings the same grit and efficiency Tacoman’s expect—right to your hot dog cart. Our streamlined mobile–ordering system lets guests at Wright Park picnics, Tacoma Dome concerts, or tailgates outside Cheney Stadium skip the queue completely. They scan a QR code, pick their perfect 253-style dog on their phone, and get a text when it’s piping hot and ready. More time for Cornhole under the Narrows Bridge views, less time crowding around a service window.
Want to stay two steps ahead? Shoot out a pre-order link so folks can lock in a pick-up window before the first whistle or between sets at Jazzbones. Orders are staggered automatically, keeping the grill fired, the buns fluffy, and the flow smooth—even if the entire crew of longshore workers shows up at once.
We manage the tech, timing, and Tacoma permits so your hot dog catering feels as polished as a waterfront festival on Ruston Way. Whether you’re a first-time host or a seasoned event pro, trust the platform the pros rely on. Focus on making memories beneath Mount Rainier’s backdrop—we’ll make sure every guest gets their dog exactly when they want it.

The food was great and had a good variety of flavors. The owner could have been friendlier and that is why I am only giving 4 stars.

More than 5! They worked their butts off to get the food out. All of it was delicious! Probably the best burger meat I've ever had, melted in my mouth!

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.
