Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools & Campuses
From the ivy-lined quads of the University of Chicago to Friday night football on the North Side, Chicago schools are always on the move—and hungry. Nothing fuels that Windy City energy better than a lineup of local food trucks parked right on campus. Best Food Trucks makes booking food truck catering for schools in Chicago simple, fast, and worry-free.
Whether you’re planning a CPS field day in Lincoln Park, a DePaul alumni mixer in Lincoln Park, or a late-night study break at UIC, our best-in-class online ordering system wipes out long cafeteria lines. Students, teachers, and staff place orders on their phones, get a text when it’s ready, and pick up without missing a beat of class—or the “L.”
Chicago’s food scene is legendary, so we partner with hometown favorites to cover every craving and dietary need:
- La Cocinita Chicago brings bold Venezuelan-inspired Latin flavor to the quad—perfect for those craving arepas and plantain bowls after a morning lecture.
- Soul & Smoke rolls up with hickory-smoked brisket and mac ’n’ cheese that would make any South Side barbecue aficionado proud.
- The Fat Shallot keeps the lunch bell ringing with gourmet sandwiches like their famous truffle BLT—ideal for grab-and-go between labs.
- 5411 Empanadas turns the quad into a mini Buenos Aires with baked Argentinian pockets that fit right in a backpack.
- La Comodita serves Sicilian street-food classics, giving your Italian Club fundraiser an authentic taste of Palermo.
From vegetarian to gluten-free, halal to nut-free, we make sure every student can enjoy a delicious meal without compromise. Our Chicago food truck catering team handles scheduling, permits, and vendor selection, so your administration can focus on education—not logistics.
Ready to upgrade school lunch or your next campus event? Let Best Food Trucks deliver the best food truck catering for schools in Chicago—because in this city, even study hall deserves deep-dish flavor.
Matt,
Outstanding work again this semester. Best Food Trucks delivered for us—just like you did last year—at both our Hyde Park and downtown Loop campuses. We truly appreciate the way you keep our Maroons well-fed and our events running smoothly. Thanks for being such a reliable partner!
