Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools and Campuses
There’s nothing quite like the energy of a Chicago school day—students racing to beat the bell, teachers grabbing a quick bite between periods, and administrators juggling a dozen tasks at once. Best Food Trucks brings that same Windy City spirit to campus dining with an eclectic lineup of local food trucks. Whether you’re feeding Jones College Prep during a homecoming pep rally, treating DePaul University’s faculty to an appreciation luncheon, or keeping CPS students satisfied after an afternoon field-trip to Millennium Park, our Chicago food truck catering service makes it easy, fast, and unforgettable.
Our industry-leading online ordering platform lets students, staff, and visitors place and pay for their meals right from their phones—no more L-train–length lines outside the cafeteria. We handle all scheduling, permitting, and on-site logistics, so your team can focus on learning, coaching, or cheering on the Blue Demons.
Of course, a true Chicago food truck roundup isn’t complete without hometown favorites:
- La Cocinita Chicago dishes out bold Venezuelan-inspired Latin flavors that spice up any lunch period on the Near North Side.
- Soul & Smoke rolls in with smoky barbecue classics perfect for Friday night lights on the South Side.
- The Fat Shallot serves gourmet sandwiches—ideal for hungry UIC students cramming along Harrison Street.
- 5411 Empanadas keeps things handheld and hassle-free, making them a hit after a West Loop soccer match.
- La Comodita brings Sicilian street eats to campus quads from Pilsen to Lincoln Park.
From vegetarian arepas to slow-smoked brisket, gluten-free empanadas to classic Italian arancini, our roster covers every dietary preference and Chicago craving. Let Best Food Trucks transform your next spirit week, science fair, or everyday lunch into a culinary field trip—and show your students that the best classroom might just be curbside.
Matt,
You and the Best Food Trucks crew knocked it out of the park again this school year. From our CPS summer programs in Bronzeville to finals week up here in Rogers Park, your food truck catering for schools in Chicago kept every student and staff member happy and well-fed. Thanks for being the vendor we can always count on!
