When you’re planning an event in Orange County, there’s one catering option that stands out for flavor, fun, and flexibility: Food Truck Catering Orange County. Whether it’s a corporate gathering in Irvine, a wedding in Laguna Beach, a film production in Santa Ana, or a backyard party in Anaheim, food trucks bring something extra—freshness, atmosphere, and memorable taste—that traditional catering often can’t match.
Here’s why booking food truck catering in Orange County should be at the top of your event checklist (and how Catering On Wheels makes it easy, stress-free, and delicious).
Orange County isn’t just picturesque beaches and coastal vibes—it’s also a melting pot of tastes, cuisines, and event styles. People want catering that reflects this diversity. Food truck catering delivers variety: from authentic tacos, BBQ, gourmet burgers, vegan/vegetarian, fusion, dessert trucks, to even specialty coffees or gelato.
1. Guests love seeing the truck “in action” – the cooking, the smells, the show. It makes catering part of the entertainment.
2. Dietary preferences matter more than ever – people want gluten-free, plant-based, or allergen-aware options. Many food trucks are agile in meeting these needs.
3. Location flexibility is huge. Want the food truck at a bluff above the Pacific? At a vineyard? In an office courtyard? Food trucks adapt.
So in Orange County, where events happen in so many settings—from beachside venues and wineries to corporate campuses and film sets—food truck catering is rapidly becoming the go-to.
At Catering On Wheels, we specialize in connecting you with premium food trucks across Orange County and Los Angeles. Here’s how we make sure your event is top notch:
| Step | What You Get |

Here are the kinds of events where food truck catering really shines in Orange County:
1. Weddings – Especially outdoor weddings in Orange County (e.g. Newport Beach, Laguna Hills, San Clemente) where guests love food that feels both upscale and laid back.
2. Corporate Events & Office Parties – In places like Irvine, Costa Mesa, or Mission Viejo, bring on food trucks to spice up retreats, award dinners, open houses.
3. Film and Production Sets – With tight schedules and big crews, trucks deliver timely, varied food without hauling employees to restaurants.
4. Private Parties & Celebrations – Birthdays, anniversaries, graduation parties—food trucks add a festive atmosphere.
5. Large Public or Community Events – Festivals, fundraisers, fairs across Orange County benefit from multiple food truck options so attendees have choices.
Want your event to really stand out (and your guests to remember it)? Here are best practices:
1. Plan Ahead: Trucks get booked fast—especially during summer or holiday seasons. Secure your food truck at least 4-8 weeks prior for most Orange County events.
2. Match Cuisine to Your Crowd: If many guests are health-conscious, include vegan or vegetarian trucks; for families, kid-friendly foods; for foodies, try fusion or gourmet trucks.
3. Consider Multiple Trucks: If you have over 100 people, mix two trucks (e.g. one savory + one dessert or drinks) so guests get options and lines move quicker.
4. Check Permits & Insurance: Our service ensures food trucks are compliant with local OC laws and carry required insurance, so you’re not caught off guard.
5. Think Timing & Set Up: Make sure there’s enough space for trucks, power access if needed, and schedule serving well (dinner time vs cocktail hour etc.).
1. Local Expertise: We know Orange County — its venues, permit requirements, where trucks can roll, and what flavors resonate locally.
2. Curated Food Trucks: We only work with vetted operators who deliver on quality, safety, and creativity.
3. Stress-Free Booking: From first quote to last plate, we manage details so you can enjoy your event.
4. Variety & Flexibility: Whether it’s an intimate gathering in Newport Coast or a large ceremony in Anaheim Hills, we adapt.
