There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

We got orders wrong. We pre-ordered this morning. One of the Chipotle chicken taco ordered was an additional pork tacos order. Not what we ordered

My coworker picked it up for me and it was still warm when it got to me! Other than that it was delicious.

The food was really good, but the item descriptions weren't complete (just one example - didn't expect jalapeños on the loaded fries), but otherwise tasty options! 👍

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
