In New Orleans, It’s Not a Party Unless It’s Cajun—Book a Local Food Truck for Your Next Event
Down here in New Orleans, we don’t just eat; we celebrate every bite. When the brass band strikes up on Frenchmen Street or the second line winds through the Marigny, nothing fits the moment like authentic Cajun fare served hot and fresh from a local food truck. Best Food Trucks makes Cajun food truck catering in New Orleans easy, whether you’re feeding a krewe of twenty in Mid-City or hundreds of festival-goers along the riverfront.

Our New Orleans Cajun food trucks refuse to let étouffée, gumbo, or jambalaya sit around in steam pans. They ladle it straight from the pot to your plate, keeping those deep bayou flavors dancing. From classics like shrimp & grits and po-boys to sleeper hits such as maque choux, tasso sliders, or spicy boudin links, you’ll taste why locals say, “If it ain’t got kick, it ain’t Cajun.”

Need recommendations? Try the fried green tomato BLT from Creole Tomateaux, the crawfish mac from Kenny's Cajun & Creole Cuisine on the Geaux, or the red-bean-chili-topped signature dog at Diva Dawg Food Truck—a Magazine Street legend now rolling city-wide. Feeling nostalgic for lunch-counter comfort? Meals On Wheels dishes out hearty Cajun plates, while Valerie's Snowballs keeps the party cool with classic New Orleans shaved ice desserts.

Whether you’re hosting a wedding rehearsal in the Garden District, a corporate luncheon in the CBD, or a tailgate outside the Superdome, Best Food Trucks will line up the perfect Cajun food truck catering in New Orleans. Laissez les bons temps rouler—your guests will taste the good times in every bite.

Our real-time queue keeps orders flowing smoothly, so your guests focus on the party while our Cajun food trucks focus on ladling, frying, and blackening every bite to perfection.

From Jazz Fest-style crowd control to intimate family reunions, Best Food Trucks keeps the Cajun flavors hot, the lines short, and the laissez-faire energy high.

The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.

Food Truck FAQ

What is food truck catering?
Food truck catering is when you hire a food truck to provide freshly made meals from a full service mobile kitchen for your event. Instead of using large containers filled with food made hours earlier, food is made fresh and onsite.
How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget. For example if you submit a budget for $2000 for 80 people, we'll send you menus from vendors based on that budget. You'll see various menus, but they'll all be for your $2000 request.
Are there different budgets for each food truck proposal?
No. Each proposal will be for the budget you've chosen. If you have a budget of $2000, we'll only send you proposals for your budget of $2000.
What are the menu choices for my food truck event budget?
Once you choose a budget, we'll confirm the details and send out a request for proposals to the regions best food trucks! We'll submit a link for you to view food truck menus. You'll be able to select the food truck of your choice directly from the review link we send you.
Can I request special options like gluten free or vegan from the food truck?
YES!!! When you're requesting proposals you can make special requests in the "additional questions or comments" section.
How long does it usually take to book a food truck for an event?
In larger markets, it usually takes around one to three hours to start getting menu proposals back from food trucks. In smaller markets it can take up to 24 hours to see a list of menus for your region.
How many people can one food truck serve for a catering event?
Most food trucks can serve around 50-70 orders per hours. For bigger events, we suggest having multiple food trucks to ensure wait times don't get out of hand.
Can we do online orders or pre-orders to reduce lines at the food truck for our event?
Best Food Trucks has the best in class technology platform to allow your guests to skip the line and order directly from their phone. This ensures that your customers can enjoy your event and avoid waiting in line. When their order is ready, they'll get a text message to come pick up their order.
Why should we book a food truck through Best Food Trucks instead of reaching out to food trucks directly?
Best Food Trucks has a huge network of food trucks that we regularly work with. We collect ratings through online ordering system food trucks use daily. With our data we know which food trucks are right for your events. Additionally, we give you a selection of the best food trucks in your region so you don't have to worry about booking an unreliable food truck.
Does a food truck need power?
Food trucks come with their own generators. If you'd like to a quieter experience and have access to plugs, a food truck works best with two 20amp 110 circuits.
What are the best food trucks for parties?
Food trucks that can serve fast and serve a cuisine that can easily be eaten while standing without having to use utensils, typically work for a party atmosphere.
Are food trucks cheaper than catering?
Food trucks can be cheaper depending on the menu. However, the prices can vary considerably. Food trucks typically need a bit more staff and are bringing a full service kitchen to your event so they have additional costs which can impact the overall cost.
