Festivals & pop-ups

Food truck vendor for Chicago festivals and pop-ups

Markets, block parties, street festivals, brand pop-ups. We are built for volume: a full kitchen, a menu people queue for, and a truck that pulls a crowd on colour alone.

What's included

High-volume service

A menu tuned for a queue: items that come out fast without losing what makes them good.

The viral items

Quesabirria with consome and birriaramen are the reason people stop at the truck instead of walking past it.

Dessert covered too

Bring the churro truck along and you have a second draw at the other end of the site.

Self-sufficient

The truck carries its own kitchen. Tell us the pitch, the hours and the access, and we handle the rest.

Why Delicias

Made fresh, never pre-made

Everything is cooked in the truck while your guests watch. That is the whole point of hiring a kitchen on wheels instead of a tray of catering.

The truck is the decoration

A bright pink truck with a koala on the side is the most photographed thing at any event it parks at. It costs you nothing extra and it does a lot of work.

Signature dishes people remember

Quesabirria with consome and the birriaramen are why people cross downtown for us. They travel to your event exactly as they are.

Downtown regulars

We feed the Loop Monday to Friday. The same kitchen and the same people show up at your event on Saturday.

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us about it

    Send the date, the place, roughly how many people and whether you want the taco truck, the churro truck or both.

  2. 02

    We quote it

    We come back within 24 hours with a menu and a price for your guest count, and we sort out access and power for the truck.

  3. 03

    You confirm

    Once the menu and the date are locked in, that slot is yours. Payment details go with the quote.

  4. 04

    We show up and cook

    The truck parks, the kitchen fires up and everything is hand-pressed in front of your guests. We leave the spot as we found it.

Ready when you are

We cater any type of party

Tell us the date, the place and how many people. We bring the truck, the kitchen and the whole pink circus, and we cook everything on-site.

We reply to every request within 24 hours.

Questions people ask

Every kind of booking has its own page, with what is included and the answers to the questions people ask us most.

How many guests can you cook for?

Tell us the number and we build the menu and the staffing around it. The truck is a full kitchen, so the guest count changes the menu and the timings rather than whether we can do it.

Which areas do you serve?

Chicago and the surrounding area. We park downtown every weekday, and for events we go wherever the truck can legally park and set up.

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can, especially for weekends and holidays: we only have two trucks. That said, ask us about short notice anyway, because dates open up.

What about the deposit and payment?

Both go in writing with your quote, before you commit to anything, so you see the full cost of the booking before you confirm it.

What do you need from the venue?

A legal parking spot the truck can reach and enough room to open the service window. Tell us where the event is happening and we will check it with you before the day.

Some of the best tacos I've ever had… the food truck was really cool and all pink.
