Hot, Customizable Meals for Raleigh-Durham Studios—Ready When You Are!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial at Trailblazer Studios near NC State or wrapping a feature at Durham’s Cinespace, Best Food Trucks brings the Triangle’s favorite mobile kitchens right to your set. Our team has spent years handling on-location food truck catering for studios, so we know how to keep cast and crew happy—and productions on schedule.
We’ll collaborate with your production coordinator to build rotating daily menus that work for early call-times, late-night shoots, and everything in between. From authentic Mexican flavor with Poblanos Tacos or El Jefecito, to Mediterranean comfort from Mama Voula’s, an American bistro twist at Shmack’n Plates Bistro, or bold Mexican-fusion from La Republica—we’ve got every craving on set covered.
Our Raleigh-Durham studio catering experts will:
- Scout the best service spot—whether that’s a soundstage bay at the warehouse district in Raleigh or a shady pull-in behind American Tobacco Campus in Durham.
- Streamline ordering and pickup with our online pre-order system, so grips aren’t stuck in line when the AD calls “Back to one!”
- Verify every truck’s permits, insurance, and health grades—no last-minute surprises.
- Deliver a clear cost analysis that fits your production budget (and your UPM’s sanity).
Food truck catering also slashes food and packaging waste—something the green-minded Triangle film community takes seriously. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime for your Raleigh-Durham studio so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Keeping the Triangle’s Small Businesses Rolling
Choosing food truck catering for your Raleigh-Durham studio doesn’t just feed hungry talent—it pours money straight back into the Bull City and City of Oaks. Every truck we book is a locally owned, family-run business, from the husband-and-wife team at Cousins Maine Lobster – Raleigh to the Dominican-American cousins behind Q-Spice Caribbean Grill. When your production pays them, that cash stays right here—supporting Wake and Durham county suppliers, commissary kitchens, and the weekend farmers’ markets at State Farmers Market and Durham Central Park.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft-services tables. With high-efficiency propane grills and compostable serviceware, our vendors cut down on generator time and landfill waste—perfect for productions following Green Set guidelines. Fewer chafing dishes, fewer trash bags, and more reusable utensils mean your shoot leaves a lighter footprint on Umstead and Eno River.
So the next time your line producer Googles “affordable film set catering in Raleigh-Durham,” skip the hotel buffet and let Best Food Trucks roll in a socially responsible, locally flavored meal everybody will remember.

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.

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.

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.
