Riverside, CA is proof that good things come to those who wait. The city was fashionably late to the food truck party—but once it arrived, it showed up hungry. In just a few years, Riverside has gone from zero to over 100 food trucks strong, with vibrant gathering spots like "Food Truck Alley" where trucks line up bumper-to-bumper serving everything from sizzling tacos and smoky BBQ to fresh Mediterranean wraps and creative Asian fusion. It's the Inland Empire's tastiest open-air food hall—no reservations required.

Helpful Tips

Tips for Booking Food Truck Catering in Riverside

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.
