When to Book

Recommended lead time

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.

Food truck was good! The individuals running the truck were hospitable, they arrived early, and all of our guests were satisfied. We got tacos, churros, and elote. My only critique is that the chicken tacos were incredibly dry. The al pastor and asada tacos were much better.

What is included in the catering price?

The per-serving prices on this page already include 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 El Zorro Tacos?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. El Zorro Tacos typically answers a request within 6 hours, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. 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 El Zorro Tacos cater?
Recent bookings through Food Truck Club include a 45-guest event in Chicago (September 2026) and a 55-guest event in Winnetka (August 2026), out of 6 events catered so far. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Chicago are all bookable from this page.
Where does El Zorro Tacos serve?
El Zorro Tacos is based in Chicago, IL and takes bookings across Cook, DuPage, Will, McHenry, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and Lake Counties. Travel inside that area is part of the quote; for a venue outside it, submit the request and the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
El Zorro Tacos lists vegetarian options, gluten-free options and dairy-free 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 El Zorro Tacos 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.
