Based in Glendale for Los Angeles events
Food Truck Catering in Glendale
Office lunches, backyard parties and weddings, cooked to order on the truck from our W Glenoaks Blvd location.
Planning an office lunch, a birthday in the backyard or a wedding in Glendale? Our Los Angeles location is in Glendale, at 1936 W Glenoaks Blvd, so a Glendale event is close to home for us. We cook elevated Cali-Mex to order at the window, and every booking includes the truck, our crew, the food, setup and cleanup.
Food truck catering that starts in Glendale
The Lime Truck has been catering Southern California events since 2010, and we're a two-time Food Network champion: we won Season 2 of The Great Food Truck Race in 2011 and the All-Stars season in 2021. We were founded in Irvine, and our Glendale location is the base for our Los Angeles service.
What that means for your event:
- Shorter travel to your venue. A Glendale address is a short drive for us, which leaves more room in the schedule for parking and setup.
- One team from quote to cleanup. Our crew runs the truck for the whole service. Nobody hands you keys.
- Food cooked to order. Salsas, marinades, slaws and sauces are made fresh each morning in our commissary kitchen, and every plate is cooked when it's ordered.
Glendale events we cater
Office and team lunches. Glendale has a busy business district, and a truck in the lot or loading zone is an easy way to feed a team without trays sitting out. See our corporate catering page for office events.
Studio and production crews. Burbank and Glendale are production country. We plan around call times and crew counts, from breakfast to wrap. See film and production catering.
Birthdays, graduations and private parties. Backyards, driveways and private event spaces all work, as long as the truck has a level spot to park. See private party catering.
Weddings and rehearsal dinners. A food truck fits a relaxed reception or a late-night bite after the dancing starts. See our weddings page.
School, church and community events. Fundraisers, school carnivals, team parties and neighborhood get-togethers. Tell us the setting and we'll tell you what we need.
Holiday parties. Office and family holiday parties. December dates are in the highest demand, so ask early. See holiday catering.

The menu
The menu is Cali-Mex at heart, with bold Mexican, Asian and Mediterranean flavors mixed in. The simplest way to book is a catering package built around tacos, quesadillas, nachos and signature sides. Guests who want a la carte picks can choose from favorites like Rojo Chicken Tacos, Sweet & Spicy Steak and Seared Ahi, plus loaded fries and churros. Early events can go with the breakfast menu (steak and egg tacos, breakfast burritos and crispy tots), and the plant-based menu covers vegan and vegetarian guests without anyone feeling left out. We cook with zero seed oils through our partnership with Zero Acre Farms. See the full menu.
How much does food truck catering in Glendale cost?
Every quote is custom. The total depends on your guest count, the menu, the service style, how long we serve and how far we travel. Send us the details and we'll reply within 24 hours with availability and a proposal, so you're never guessing. Request a quote.
What the truck needs on site
A food truck is easy to host when the spot is right. Before you book, check that your venue has:
- A flat, level area about 30 feet long by 12 feet wide, with about 14 feet of overhead clearance (watch for trees, carports and parking structures)
- A standard outlet nearby, or room for us to run a quiet generator
- A clear path for the truck to pull in, plus a spot close to where guests gather
If your event is on a street, in a park or at a venue with its own vendor rules, tell us early. Your venue, HOA or property manager may have rules for vendor trucks, and we'll send a certificate of insurance if they need one. For street-side service, we can talk you through any permits your block or city requires.
How to book
- Check your date early. Two to four weeks is usually enough for most events. Weddings and large corporate events often book two to three months ahead.
- Send the basics. Date and time window, the venue address, a rough guest count, the event type and any dietary needs.
- Get your proposal. We reply within 24 hours with availability and a custom quote.
- Confirm your date, and we'll lock in the spot and timing.
- Event day. We arrive, set up, cook, serve and clean up.
