"Josie was my representative and she was VERY easy to work with! She set me up with 6 trucks since we were serving 800 people and on a tight schedule. I could not have had a better experience! I would give 10 stars if I could."

Most Popular Cuisines for Houston Events

Houston's incredible diversity means endless options—these are the crowd favorites our clients book most

The undisputed champion of Houston event catering. Street tacos, fajitas, and build-your-own taco bars work for every crowd. Breakfast tacos are a hit for morning events, while late-night taco service has become a Houston wedding tradition.

BBQ & Smoked Meats

This is Texas, after all. Brisket, pulled pork, and smoked sausage from Houston's best pitmasters bring that authentic Texas flavor to your celebration. Perfect for casual events and corporate picnics.

Gulf Coast Seafood

Houston's proximity to the Gulf means fresh seafood is always available. Shrimp po'boys, fish tacos, and Cajun-style crawfish boils add a coastal flair that guests love.

Asian Fusion

From Vietnamese banh mi to Korean BBQ tacos, Houston's Asian food truck scene reflects the city's incredible diversity. These cuisines offer bold flavors and often accommodate dietary restrictions naturally.

Southern Comfort

Fried chicken, mac and cheese, and all the fixings. Southern comfort food is perfect for family reunions, graduation parties, and events where you want guests to feel truly welcomed.

Best Times to Book in Houston

Plan around Houston's weather and event calendar for the best experience

Spring (March-May)

Houston's most popular event season. Mild temperatures and low humidity make outdoor events ideal. Book 3-4 months ahead for weddings—venues and trucks fill up fast.

Summer (June-August)

Hot and humid, but manageable with evening events and shaded areas. Dessert trucks and cold treats are essential. Weekday availability is better as weekend competition decreases.

Fall (September-November)

Another peak season as temperatures cool. Football tailgates, Halloween parties, and holiday planning begin. October and November weekends book quickly.

Winter (December-February)

Houston's mild winters allow year-round outdoor events. Holiday parties drive December demand. January and February offer excellent availability and sometimes better pricing.

Event Catering FAQs

Questions Houston hosts ask most often

How much does food truck catering cost for a wedding in Houston?

Wedding catering typically runs $15-25 per person depending on the cuisine and service style. For a 150-guest wedding, expect $2,500-$4,000 including setup, service, and cleanup. Late-night food truck add-ons (post-reception snacks) start around $1,000.

How far in advance should I book for a Houston wedding?

We recommend booking 3-6 months ahead for weddings, especially for peak season (March-May, October-November). Popular trucks book up fast. For other events, 2-4 weeks is usually sufficient.

Can food trucks serve at any Houston venue?

Most venues accommodate food trucks in parking areas or designated spots. Some venues have preferred vendor lists, but many allow outside catering. We'll help coordinate with your venue and handle any required permits or insurance.

What about guests with dietary restrictions?

Houston's diverse food truck scene includes vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and kosher options. Tell us your guests' needs and we'll match you with trucks that can accommodate everyone.

Do you handle permits for public events in Houston?

Yes! We assist with City of Houston permits for parks and public spaces. Requirements vary by location—some parks need special event permits, others just need vendor permits. We'll guide you through the process.

What happens if it rains on my event day?

Houston weather is unpredictable. We always have backup plans—covered serving areas, tent rentals coordination, or rescheduling options. Your event manager will discuss contingencies before your event.

How many guests can one food truck serve?

A single truck typically serves 75-150 guests comfortably within a 2-hour window. For larger events, we coordinate multiple trucks to ensure fast service and variety. We've successfully catered events with 1,000+ guests using 6-8 trucks working together.

Can I book multiple cuisine types for one event?

Absolutely! Multi-truck events are one of our specialties in Houston. Having a taco truck alongside a BBQ truck, plus a dessert truck, gives guests variety and keeps lines moving. We coordinate timing and placement so everything runs smoothly.

What's the minimum order or guest count?

Most Houston trucks have minimums ranging from $500-$1,500 or 30-50 guests, depending on the vendor and day of week. Weekend events during peak season may have higher minimums. We'll match you with trucks that fit your event size and budget.

Do food trucks provide tables, chairs, or tents?

Food trucks focus on food service and typically don't provide event furniture. However, we can recommend rental companies we work with regularly, and your event coordinator can help arrange these additions if needed.
