If you’re planning your wedding or after-party, you already know the food is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle.
Guests may forget what flowers were on the table, but they’ll never forget the food. More couples in New Jersey and New York are skipping traditional catering and booking food trucks for weddings and after-parties—and for good reason.
At Cubita Truck, we specialize in making weddings unforgettable with Cuban-inspired flavors, empanadas, and late-night bites that fuel the party. Here’s why food trucks are becoming the go-to wedding catering trend.
Why Choose a Food Truck for Your Wedding?
Unique Wedding Catering Experience
Food trucks add personality and a modern twist to your wedding day. They create an atmosphere that’s fun, interactive, and completely different from the standard buffet line.
Perfect for After-Parties
When the reception winds down, nothing recharges your guests like a food truck parked outside serving hot, fresh food. Late-night Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, and churros keep the celebration alive long after the DJ’s last song.
Flexible Wedding Catering Packages
From small gatherings to 300-plus guest weddings, food trucks scale with your needs. Cubita Truck offers packages starting at just $17.99 per person, with options like empanada stations, croquettes, Cuban sandwiches, and even “build your own” empanada experiences .
Stress-Free Setup
Unlike traditional catering, a food truck is self-contained. We bring the kitchen, the chefs, the servers, and the permits—so you can focus on the dance floor .
Popular Wedding & After-Party Menus
Couples love choosing menus that match their vibe. Some wedding catering favorites include:
Mini Cuban Sandwiches – the perfect handheld for cocktail hour or midnight snacking.
Empanadas – beef, chimichurri chicken, guava & cream cheese, or plantain & cheese .
Croquettes & Churros – crowd-pleasing finger foods that guests grab between dances.
Breakfast-for-Dinner Options – Taylor ham, egg & cheese empanadas for after-parties that stretch into the early hours.
