About Cultura y Comida

We serve tacos that people wait in line for. I run a compact food trailer that turns out tacos, tortas, burritos, quesadillas, and aguas frescasand much more. Our carne asada, chicken and Al Pastor tacos are regulars on the order board. We also keep clear vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, and halal options marked so customers with restrictions can grab something without guessing. Cooking is done to order in the trailer. We do on-site service for events and catering. At a festival or a backyard party I set up the line, grill, and the condiments so guests can pick what they want. Portions are straightforward and the plates come ready to eat. I don’t fuss with fancy descriptions. We show up, we feed people, and we handle most dietary needs openly. If you need tacos for an event, we can do on-site service and menu selections that include the vegan and gluten free choices or customized menus.

Terry and Anayeli Bencak

Owner, Cultura y Comida

I learned to roll tortillas standing in my mother in-laws kitchen. Nights helping at community events taught me how to read a crowd and keep service moving. My partner and wife Anayeli runs the kitchen, I handle permits and bookings, and together we keep the trailer steady when it gets busy. We operate out of Chicago and northwest Indiana and servicing all of the Midwest when we cater. I show up for the neighborhood because a hot meal at the corner can steady a week. Feeding neighbors keeps a small piece of our culture visible and makes the long nights worth it.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Chicago, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Cultura y Comida serve?
Cultura y Comida serves Tacos, Mexican and Latin.Most servings run about $18 before tax.The full menu is above; per-serving pricing is quoted when you build your order.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, Cultura y Comida has a minimum order of $438, which works out to roughly 25 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from Cultura y Comida includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. Per-serving pricing includes Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Cultura y Comida?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Chicago book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Cultura y Comida cater?
Cultura y Comida is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Chicago are all bookable from this page.
Where does Cultura y Comida serve?
Cultura y Comida is based in Chicago, IL and takes bookings across Cook, DuPage, Will, McHenry, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and Lake Counties. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Cultura y Comida lists vegan options, vegetarian options, gluten-free options, dairy-free options and halal options on its profile. Include a count for each in your booking request so the truck preps enough, and flag any allergies at the same time.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Cultura y Comida will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
