Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Tacoma Studio Set!
From the sound stages near the Tacoma Dome to indie shoots along the Foss Waterway, Best Food Trucks has spent years keeping South Sound film crews well-fed and on schedule. When you book our food truck catering for studio work in Tacoma, you get more than a meal—you get a partner that knows how to hit tight break windows and please even the pickiest gaffer.
We’ll collaborate with your production team to build rotating daily menus that fit local tastes and dietary needs. Craving smoky Pacific Northwest barbecue? We can line up KC Deez BBQ. Need a burger that can handle a long day of takes? Stacks Burgers #3 has you covered. Want to add a little Crescent City spice to a rainy Tacoma afternoon? Call in Creole Soul. Looking for island-inspired rice bowls and fresh lumpia? FlavorWorks is a crowd favorite. And when the crew is begging for late-night quesabirrias after a shoot in Hilltop, Morena’s Mexican Food never disappoints.
Our on-set service includes scouting the best parking spots—whether it’s outside a historic warehouse in the Brewery District or up the hill by the University of Puget Sound—managing all permits and insurance, and providing real-time online ordering so your AD knows exactly when the last plate is served. You’ll receive a detailed cost analysis that protects your budget and reduces the food and packaging waste typical of traditional craft services.
When you let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime for your Tacoma studio production, you remove one more variable from a hectic shoot day. Roll cameras, we’ll roll the trucks.
Fueling Tacoma’s Small-Business Scene
Booking food truck catering for your Tacoma studio set does more than keep the crew happy—it keeps money circulating right here between the Narrows Bridge and Commencement Bay. Nearly every truck we work with is a Pierce-County–based, family-run operation that parks weekly at the Proctor Farmers Market or along 6th Ave after a Rainiers night game. Your lunch order helps a local pitmaster pay rent on a Hilltop commissary kitchen and a baker from Lincoln District buy more Washington-grown produce.
Going mobile is also one of the most sustainable ways to feed a production. Modern food trucks sip less power than a traditional craft-services tent and they prep to order, which means fewer half-eaten deli trays heading to the landfill. Many Tacoma vendors—even the beloved doughnut bus that parks near Point Defiance—compost through the city’s TAGRO program and serve in recyclable clamshells.
So the next time your production coordinator is Googling “low-budget film catering near me” from a warehouse in the Tideflats, send them our way. Best Food Trucks will line up locally owned rigs, cut down food waste, and give your Tacoma shoot a tasty, socially responsible twist.

Brian did an excellent job at our party. The food was terrific! He had a variety of options including vegetarian but our guests really raved about the beef and chicken tacos. Also, the cheesy beans were so good! Brian is very engaging and fun and his truck is cute and festive. I would definitely hire them again.
