Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in New Orleans

From Mardi Gras parades rolling down St. Charles Avenue to packed Saturday nights outside the Caesars Superdome, New Orleans knows how to throw a party—and nothing fuels a Crescent City crowd like great food truck catering. Gone are the days when promoters had to wrestle with pop-up tents, extra permits, and makeshift kitchens. Modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, plug in to local power—or run on their own—and serve thousands of guests without missing a beat of the brass band.

Whether you’re booking a festival in City Park, a university commencement on the Uptown quads, or a corporate convention along the Mississippi Riverfront, Best Food Trucks lines up the right fleet for your needs. We curate everything from scratch-made comfort food to authentic Latin flavors, giving attendees the same culinary range they’d find wandering the French Quarter.

Looking for local favorites? Treat the crowd to loaded Cajun fries and over-stuffed poboys from Creole Tomateaux, award-winning tacos and Venezuelan arepas from La Cocinita NOLA, or smoked barbecue straight off the bus at NeauxLA RolLA. If classic Southern plates are on the set list, Kingdom Cafe 7003 llc has you covered, and anyone craving extra spice can grab jambalaya and red beans from Kenny's Cajun & Creole Cuisine on the Geaux.

Best Food Trucks is the go-to partner for large-scale event catering in New Orleans. Our on-site managers coordinate truck placement, crowd flow, and point-of-sale technology, so organizers can focus on music, art, or kickoff time. The result? Faster lines, happier guests, and the unmistakable taste of the Big Easy in every bite.

Skip the Line and Let the Good Times Roll

Nobody comes to a New Orleans festival to stand in a food line— they come for the music, the beads, and the flavors that make the Crescent City famous. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system keeps your large-scale event moving. Guests simply pull out their phone, choose from our lineup of New Orleans food truck catering favorites, and get a text when their gumbo, poboy, or brisket beignet is ready. No waiting, no shouting over the brass band—just quick, contact-free pickup so the party never skips a beat.

Planning a parade after-party on Frenchmen Street or a 20,000-person tailgate outside the Superdome? Send attendees a pre-order link before gates open. They can reserve a pickup window, pay in advance, and stroll straight to the stage when the first note hits. Our platform is built for high-volume, high-frequency ordering, so even during peak carnival crowds your service flows smoother than a sax solo on Bourbon Street.

Food truck catering for large-scale events in New Orleans plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals shorter lines, happier guests, and more time to shout “Laissez les bon temps rouler!”

the ribs had a nice smoky flavor and parts that were burnt ends, I love that. Sauce was very good too

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes

The burger was well cooked, and the fries were actually my favorite kind of crispy with a nice seasoning

Suggest slightly less fries. I did like how they were cooked. Slightly more sauce in the sandwich; not much though. I'd definitely order again in the future.
