Nearly every rig you see parked along Abbot Kinney, Ventura Boulevard, or the Arts District is a dream on wheels, owned by a solo chef–entrepreneur or a tight-knit family crew. Your catering dollars go straight back into the local economy, supporting jobs from East LA produce vendors to South Bay commissary kitchens.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart alternative to traditional catering in Los Angeles. Modern mobile kitchens sip far less electricity than a banquet hall and serve in compostable packaging, slashing landfill waste after your event in Griffith Park or a rooftop in Koreatown. So next time you hop on Google and type “American Bistro food truck near me in Los Angeles,” skip the generic results and tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll score chef-driven burgers, brisket, and Cali-fresh sides while doing something good for the city—and the planet—we all love.

Had the buffalo lemon pepper tenders with fries. Fries were spot on. Hot and fresh. Seasoned nicely. Tenders were not hot. A little heavy on the batter and needed more sauce and lemon pepper. Flavor was fantastic. Just needed a bit more and to be hot and fresh.

Service was really quick and easy. This was our first time ordering hibachi and we ordered chicken, steak and shrimp with fried rice and veggies. Love that each bowl came with a lid, sauce packets and utensils. Would definitely hire this truck again. The portions were fairly large and everyone seemed to really enjoy the food. Many people came back for seconds.
