Raleigh–Durham Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events

From Franklin Street in Chapel Hill to the American Tobacco Campus in Durham and all the way to Downtown Raleigh’s Fayetteville Street, the Triangle knows how to throw a party. Whether you’re planning Hopscotch Music Festival–sized crowds, a Durham Bulls home stand, or a 10,000-person tech conference at the Raleigh Convention Center, nothing keeps guests happier (and lines moving) like professional food truck catering. Best Food Trucks brings the area’s most popular mobile kitchens directly to you with zero hassle, making us the go-to choice for large scale food truck catering in Raleigh and Durham.

Unlike old-school tent vendors that require extra permits, on-site power, and marathon setup times, today’s food trucks arrive fully self-contained and ready to serve. In minutes, you’ll have gourmet kitchens on wheels dishing out everything from sizzling carnitas to scratch-made Mediterranean platters. Our curated Raleigh/Durham fleet includes local favorites like the authentic Mexican flavors of Poblanos Tacos, the hearty American comfort from Shmack'n Plates Bistro, and the bright, fresh dishes at Mama Voula's. Looking to mix it up? We can also roll in the bold Mexican-fusion of La Republica or the crowd-pleasing street eats from El Jefecito.

Best Food Trucks makes coordinating multiple vendors simple. We sync arrival times, handle city and venue permits across Wake, Durham, and Orange counties, and provide a single point of payment so you can focus on the stage, the scoreboard, or the keynote. From NC State tailgates outside Carter-Finley to graduation celebrations at Duke, trust the largest food truck catering network in the Triangle to feed your crowd quickly, deliciously, and on budget.

Skip the Line at Raleigh–Durham’s Biggest Events

From Dreamville Festival in Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park to a sold-out weekend at Durham’s DPAC, Triangle locals don’t waste time standing around—and neither should your guests. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge mobile ordering platform lets attendees order right from their phones, pay in seconds, and get a text the moment their brisket tacos or chicken-n-waffles are ready. No more weaving through crowds on Fayetteville Street or Franklin Street just to check if food is up—our system keeps everyone focused on the music, the keynote, or the ninth-inning rally.

Planning a 15,000-person tournament at the WakeMed Soccer Park? Email a pre-order link ahead of kickoff so coaches, fans, and vendors can lock in pickup times before the gates even open. Best Food Trucks is the only food truck catering service for large-scale events in Raleigh–Durham engineered to handle thousands of simultaneous orders without a hiccup, ensuring smooth service whether you’re at the PNC Arena or the NC State Fairgrounds.

Food trucks for large-scale events + seamless online ordering = a hungry crowd fed quickly and happy sponsors who see guests glued to the action.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

The turkey burger was very well made and the fries were salted and spiced just right. Good crunch too.

Even though burger was a bit cold because I got there later, it had good flavor with spice level, texture was still firm and buns were not soggy or greasy

El Jefecito was so easy to work with. The tacos were delicious and the churros were out of this world. Our employees kept going back for a second Churro.

Lost my order. Had to show phone confirmation, then wait. Had 5:55 pick up time, but didn't get food until after 6:15

Brought both the fish and shrimp plates. Wish the fish plate came with slices of bread to make a sandwich but overall the food was great

The food was great and my team really enjoyed it. They were very prepared and had all of the food ready in just over an hour. Would definitely hire them again!

Frank and the crew were very friendly and accommodated those with dietary restrictions (GF, vegetarian, etc.) They even decided to set up cash payment so they could service a few other guests from another part of our organization that did not have tickets. The service was pretty fast, despite the line. The food was really good and I had several peoplke comment to me that they enjoyed the food very much. The food truck made the event a complete success, especially on this hot day! I would definitely use them again for another event and I will provide positive feedback to our property managers in hopes they will put Mama Voula's truck on our weekly Tuesday Food Truck rotation.
