Chicago School Food Truck Catering

In Chicago, schools run at the speed of the “L”—fast, efficient, and always on the move. The easiest way to keep hungry students and faculty fueled is with a lineup of Chicago’s favorite food trucks parked right on campus. Best Food Trucks makes it simple to bring that Windy City flavor to your next pep rally at Lane Tech, science fair in Hyde Park, or lunchtime rush in the Loop.

Our best-in-class online ordering platform lets students tap in their orders between classes and grab their meals without missing a beat—no more endless lines stretching down the quad. From Latin bites at La Cocinita Chicago to barbecue classics from Soul & Smoke, we match each school with trucks that fit its unique tastes, dietary needs, and budget.

Planning a Spirit Week tailgate on the South Side? Host The Fat Shallot for gourmet sandwiches that make cafeteria cold cuts a thing of the past. Looking to add an international twist to International Day? Book 5411 Empanadas for baked Argentinian pockets everyone will rave about, or invite La Comodita for Sicilian street-food favorites worthy of Taylor Street.

The toughest part of bringing food trucks to Chicago schools is juggling permits, menus, and schedules—so let Best Food Trucks handle it. We coordinate everything from parking logistics to dietary accommodations (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, you name it). All you have to do is enjoy the smiles as students trade cafeteria trays for authentic Chicago food truck fare.

With Best Food Trucks, you’re not just feeding a crowd—you’re giving your campus an unforgettable Chicago dining experience that’s as iconic as deep-dish pizza and the Bean. Elevate your next school event with food truck catering that speaks fluent “Chi-Town.”

Matt,

Once again you and the Best Food Trucks team crushed it this school year. From our CPS field-day on the North Side to the South Loop STEM expo, every Chicago food truck you booked showed up on time and kept the kids happy (and the teachers sane). Thanks for being such a reliable partner for school food truck catering in Chicago!
