Event Catering by Austin Food Trucks

From corporate launches at Capital Factory to weddings at vineyards in Driftwood to neighborhood block parties in Mueller to fundraisers at Zilker Park, food trucks are how Austin throws an event. AustinFoodTruck.com makes it easy to browse the city's top-rated trucks, compare menus, and book the right vendor — vetted, scheduled, and ready to roll. We work with the trucks that handle ACL and SXSW crowds, so we can scale anything from a single truck for 50 people to a 12-truck lineup for thousands.

Where a food truck fits

Food truck at a corporate team outing

Offices and company events

Team lunches, product launches, appreciation days, and company picnics. Guests order what they want at the window, the truck cooks it to order, and there's no buffet to break down afterward. Pick one cuisine, or bring in two trucks so everyone finds something.

Food truck at a wedding celebration

Weddings and parties

Receptions, rehearsal dinners, birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries. A truck brings its own kitchen, so it works in a backyard or at a venue that doesn't have one. Guests get fresh food, and you skip the full catering setup.

Food trucks at a community festival

Festivals, fundraisers, and community events

Block parties, school fundraisers, markets, and festivals. Trucks draw a crowd and keep lines moving, and they can either sell directly to the crowd or serve a set menu you cover. Ask each truck what volume it's comfortable with, and book more than one for a big crowd.

Real Reviews from Real Austin Customers

Nicole B.

Used Austin Food Truck for a tenant event at our building. Communication was good and I appreciated not having to coordinate all the little details directly with the truck.

Amanda C.

We had around 200 people coming through over lunch and I was a little worried about lines, but it worked out really well. The truck they recommended was able to move people through fast and the food held up.

Emily R.

We booked two trucks for our wedding and it was one of the things people talked about the most afterward. Felt a lot more like us than doing a traditional buffet.

Lauren T.

I had reached out to a couple trucks directly and wasn't really getting anywhere. Found this site, sent over what we needed, and had options pretty quickly. Wish I had done that first.
