Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Tampa, FL

From the Gasparilla Pirate Fest crowding Bayshore Boulevard to sold-out concerts at Raymond James Stadium, the biggest parties in Tampa demand bold flavors and quick service. Modern food truck catering delivers both. Unlike the old pop-up tents that needed extra permits, power drops, and hours of set-up, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, hook up, and start serving in minutes. That means shorter lines, happier guests, and no headaches for your event team.

Best Food Trucks has spent years curating the top trucks on Florida’s Gulf Coast, so you get a roster that can tackle any large-scale event in Tampa. Craving award-winning barbecue for thousands at Busch Gardens’ Summer Nights? We’ll send Wicked Oak Barbeque with their championship ribs and brisket. Need something melty for a Lightning watch party outside Amalie Arena? The Melt Machine Grilled Cheese has you covered with gooey sandwiches that keep fans cheering.

Latin flair more your speed? Coco's Latin Cuisine Food Truck brings a decade of Tampa tradition to the Riverwalk with authentic bowls and handhelds. Bacon makes everything better at the Florida State Fair, so Bacon Boss #2 will load up the menu with crispy creations. And for a taco line that moves faster than I-275 at midnight, book The Taco Boss to feed the fiesta.

Whether you’re producing a festival at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, a corporate convention at the Tampa Convention Center, or a college football tailgate, our team coordinates multiple food truck vendors, onsite logistics, and cashless ordering to keep crowds flowing. When it comes to food truck catering for large scale events in Tampa, Best Food Trucks is the one-stop solution that turns every gathering into a taste of the 813.

Skip the Line at Tampa’s Biggest Events

From an early-morning Gasparilla invasion on Bayshore to a packed USF Bulls tailgate on Fowler Avenue, nobody in Tampa wants to miss the action standing in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ proprietary online ordering platform keeps the spotlight on the party, not the queue. Guests simply scan a QR code, place an order from their phone, then get a text when their Cuban sandwich or grouper taco is ready. No shouting over the crowd, no fumbling for cash—just grab, go, and get back to the festivities.

Planning to open Amalie Arena’s Thunder Alley three hours before puck drop? Drop a preorder link in your ticket confirmation email so Lightning fans can lock in a pickup time on the way in. Organizing a sunset concert at Curtis Hixon Park? Our system easily absorbs thousands of simultaneous orders without slowing down, so the only thing stretching is the skyline, not the wait line.

When you combine Tampa’s top food trucks with Best Food Trucks’ high-frequency online ordering, you create the smoothest food service on the Gulf Coast. Large-scale event catering in Tampa has never been this fast, this fresh, or this fun—let your attendees enjoy the show while we handle the chow.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

Abundance of delicious tasting food. Steak sandwich and bratwurst cheese dinner. Please bring them back!

The brisket and collards were on point. The flavor profile was spot on. Looking forward for the next time.

I wish there was another slice of tomato on my loaded grilled cheese, it was a lot of bread. The kale salad was very tasty. Thanks

the ribs had a nice smoky flavor and parts that were burnt ends, I love that. Sauce was very good too

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes

The chicken pesto and Brisket were delicious! The Ayer tots were cooked perfect with a golden crisp.

The burger was well cooked, and the fries were actually my favorite kind of crispy with a nice seasoning

Suggest slightly less fries. I did like how they were cooked. Slightly more sauce in the sandwich; not much though. I'd definitely order again in the future.
