Helpful Tips
Tips for Booking Food Truck Catering in Riverside
Book food truck catering in Riverside and the Inland Empire 2-3 weeks ahead for standard events, or 4-6 weeks during peak season. Trucks serve all of Riverside and San Bernardino counties including Ontario, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga, and Temecula. Pricing runs $14-32 per person. Here are the key details for IE event planners.
Plan for IE Weather
The Inland Empire enjoys sunny weather most of the year, making outdoor events ideal. Summer temperatures can exceed 100°F, so consider morning or evening timing, shaded venues, or locations with covered patios for peak summer events.
Book Early for Peak Season
Spring and fall are prime outdoor event seasons in the IE. During the Riverside Festival of Lights, UCR graduation season, and major community events, food trucks book quickly. We recommend securing trucks 4-6 weeks ahead during these peak periods.
Leverage Regional Coverage
The Inland Empire stretches from Ontario to Temecula. Our trucks serve the entire region, from logistics hubs along the I-10 corridor to wine country events in Temecula Valley. Same great service whether you're in Rancho Cucamonga or Murrieta.
