We used Tampa Bay Food Trucks for our wedding at Uliana Estate in Lakeland, and they were incredible! Kim Sanders helped us throughout the entire process and made everything so easy. She listened to what we wanted and matched us with the perfect trucks. We ended up choosing Chief’s Cantina for street tacos and One Stop Shop for sliders, and both were a huge hit with our guests. The food was delicious, service was efficient, and the whole setup added such a fun, relaxed vibe to the night. Highly recommend working with Tampa Bay Food Trucks and Kim!

Tampa Bay Food Trucks was our first and is still our primary booking agency since we started our business, in 2022. Mike, Kim, Ben , and Tish , have all been our mentors, plus the other food truckers affiliated, have become our food truck family. It’s an incredibly close-knit network of people who can count on each other, in all circumstances. We have established a good reputation and means of income, because of Tampa Bay Food Trucks!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kim for our wedding celebration, and truly we couldn't recommend booking Tampa Bay Food Trucks more! Kim was so helpful from the very beginning and our guests absolutely loved the food from our vendors (The Forge Wood Fired Pizza and Crab Daddy's Surf & Turf). If you're looking for something to wow your guests, this is definitely it!

I hired Tampa Bay Food Truck to cater my neighborhood Halloween Party. This was my first time using a Food truck for a party I was hosting. Tisha Penzato the Sales and Account Manager set me all up through phone calls, emails and texts. She made it so easy to book the event and she was very thorough throughout the process. The guys in the Food truck showed up on time and served my halloween party with no issues. I picked mexican themed food and it was a hit at the party! The food was delicious, hot, and served quickly! I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a food truck company to cater an event you’re hosting. I know I will definitely hire them again for upcoming events!

Our Roots: The Evolution of Tampa’s Food Truck Scene
The Tampa food truck scene gained momentum with the city’s first food truck rally on Sept. 23, 2011, organized by Tasting Tampa. This event helped spark a thriving food truck culture in the region. By 2013, Tampa became one of the top cities for launching a food truck, second only to San Antonio, Texas. Tampa Bay Food Trucks has been instrumental in this growth, partnering with major employers, universities, hospitals, and local attractions such as Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park.
