Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Raleigh–Durham

From the buzz of PNC Arena concerts to summer festivals on Fayetteville Street and college tailgates outside Carter-Finley Stadium, the Triangle knows how to throw a party. What every successful Raleigh–Durham event has in common—besides die-hard Wolfpack, Blue Devil, and Tar Heel fans—is an unforgettable food lineup. That’s where Best Food Trucks comes in.

Instead of juggling tent permits, generators, and endless setup times, event planners across Wake, Durham, and Orange counties are turning to our fully self-contained food trucks. Each truck arrives with a commercial kitchen, trained staff, and the flexibility to feed crowds at the NC State Fairgrounds, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, or a corporate campus in Research Triangle Park.

Looking for bold Mexican flavors? Book Poblanos Tacos for authentic street tacos or mix it up with the Mexican-fusion creativity of La Republica. Craving something Mediterranean? Mama Voula's brings scratch-made Greek favorites that transport your guests straight to the Aegean—even if they’re standing on the lawn at Red Hat Amphitheater. For American comfort with a gourmet twist, chef-driven Shmack'n Plates Bistro turns classic plates into crowd-pleasers. And if you need even more tacos for that sold-out festival at Dorothea Dix Park, El Jefecito has you covered.

Whether you’re hosting 500 biotech professionals in RTP or 10,000 music lovers at Hopscotch, Best Food Trucks curates a lineup that minimizes wait times and maximizes variety. Our proprietary ordering system even lets guests skip the line and get real-time text alerts when their wings, gyros, or birria tacos are ready.

Ready to elevate your next large-scale event with Raleigh–Durham’s top food truck catering? Reach out to Best Food Trucks and let’s park the Triangle’s tastiest kitchens right where the action is.

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Raleigh–Durham Vibe

Nothing kills the energy of a sold-out Red Hat Amphitheater concert or a STEM expo at the Raleigh Convention Center faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with our Triangle-tested online ordering platform. Guests simply scan a QR code, place an order from their phones, and get a text the moment their smoked-brisket sliders or vegan banh mi are ready. No shuffling in queues—just more time for main-stage sets, craft-beer gardens, and networking.

Planning a huge family day at Dorothea Dix Park or a multi-campus graduation at Duke? Send attendees a pre-order link in advance so they can choose an exact pickup window before gates even open. Our system processes hundreds of transactions a minute, perfect for the high-volume crowds you’ll see at NC State football tailgates or the Wide Open Bluegrass Festival.

Food trucks for large-scale events in Raleigh–Durham plus Best Food Trucks’ seamless online ordering equals happier guests, smoother traffic flow, and rave reviews for your event. Let the lines disappear and let the Triangle’s best eats shine.

The food was amazing, I had accidentally given them the wrong order number and they were super nice and quick once I realized my mistake. I’d definitely get them again!

Food was good and I would order again. Nothing blew my mind (tho the sauce was quite tasty), but it was a good meal

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.
