Fueling San Diego’s Small Businesses
When you book American Bistro food truck catering in San Diego, every dollar goes right back into the 619.

Food trucks are also a greener choice for catering your Mission Bay picnic or Gaslamp block party. Mobile kitchens use less water and electricity than traditional venues, slash food waste with made-to-order service, and roll out without leaving a footprint on our beaches and parks.

Epic Eatz came prepared to serve up delicious food for all our guests. Their service was outstanding and everyone loved the food. It would be hard not to find something appetizing on their menu with so many iconic Mexicali options.

Overall, we had a good experience! The owner was very kind and communicative. However, there was an issue which caused the waffles to run out halfway through the event, which seemed a bit disappointing to some employees.

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.
