How Best Food Trucks Fuels San Diego’s Small-Business Scene
Booking American Comfort food truck catering in San Diego does more than keep your guests happy—it pumps real dollars back into the neighborhoods we love. Every truck on the Best Food Trucks platform is a home-grown operation, often run by solo chefs or family teams from areas like North Park, Barrio Logan, and Oceanside. When you invite these American Comfort food trucks to your event, you’re helping local entrepreneurs pay rent, hire staff, and source ingredients from San Diego farmers’ markets instead of sending your catering budget to a national chain.
Choosing a food truck is also an eco-friendly win. Our rigs cook to order, which means less food waste than buffet lines, and modern kitchen equipment that sips energy compared to traditional catering set-ups. Many of our San Diego American Comfort trucks run on cleaner propane or biodiesel and serve with compostable packaging—perfect for beachfront weddings in La Jolla or corporate lunches in Mission Valley that want to keep our coastline pristine.
So the next time you Google “American Comfort food trucks near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers more than melty grilled cheese and crispy chicken tenders. We deliver a socially responsible, locally powered experience that tastes as good as it feels.

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 very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

How fresh my sandwich still was even though I was late. Great flavor, and the lady who helped me with sauces was great. She had lovely service, and spoke to me by name.
