Whether you’re tailgating before a Cavaliers game, hosting a wedding at Pippin Hill, or throwing a company picnic on the Downtown Mall, nothing electrifies a Charlottesville party like the bold flavors of Cajun cuisine. From smoky gumbo and spicy jambalaya to Louisiana-style po’ boys and buttery shrimp & grits, Best Food Trucks connects you with the area’s top mobile kitchens so your guests taste the bayou without ever leaving Central Virginia.

La Boot Cajun Cuisine is our hometown specialist.

Their on-the-go menu features authentic étouffée, boudin balls, and a secret family maque choux recipe that keeps locals coming back for more.
Need even more variety for your event? Pair that Cajun heat with the American bistro flair of La Bête (“Sate Your Beastly Appetite”), the comfort-food favorites from Curbside Creations, the global bites of Klassy Khef, or the soulful plates at Taste of Love.

Kenny and his team were amazing! The over delivered for a prospective customer! Each dish was beautiful and tasted even better. People were taking pictures of their plates before diving into the huge portions! We will definitely use them again!

The fried fish was great! The tartar sauce and onion pepper tomatoes salad was good. Pinto beans were not quite cooked enough.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.
