PLANT-BASED AND PROUD: VEGAN FOOD TRUCK CATERING
Vegan and vegetarian food that doesn't skimp on flavor, cooked to order on the truck at events across Southern California.
Plenty of caterers treat the vegan guest as an afterthought. A sad salad, a plate of rice, done. We think that's backwards. If you're looking for a vegan food truck for your wedding, office lunch, or festival, our plant-based dishes are built with the same techniques and the same bold flavors as everything else we serve. We've catered events where the meat-eaters were fighting over the vegan tacos.
The Lime Truck is a two-time Food Network Great Food Truck Race champion, and we've been cooking California-Mexican food across Southern California since 2010.
Plant-based menu highlights
These are on our current catering menu. Ingredients below are exactly how they're listed on the menu, so if you need something fully vegan, tell us and our kitchen will customize it for your guests.
Trippy Mushroom Taco. Ponzu-marinated mushrooms, AZN slaw, crispy wontons, cilantro chimichurri, sesame seeds, and fresh lime. No meat, no cheese, and a lot of flavor. It's in our Signature TLT Package.
BPVB, the Big Phat Veggie Burrito. New, and straight off our secret menu. Ponzu mushroom, crispy potatoes, roasted corn, tomatillo pico de gallo, zesty guac, cilantro chimichurri, and cheddar cheese. Need it dairy-free? Let us know.
Legendary Brussel Sprouts. Blistered brussels with TLT signature seasoning, chipotle honey aioli, pickled red onions, and cotija. A side people come back for. It comes with cotija and the aioli, so ask if you need a vegan version.
Mr. Potato Taco. Twice-fried peewee potatoes, tomatillo pico de gallo, cilantro chimichurri, and green onions.
Zesty Guacamole and Chips and Pico. House-made tortilla chips with our signature seasoning, plus tomatillo pico de gallo.

For morning events, the Shrooms with Eggs Taco and Egg(cellent) Taco on our breakfast menu are both meat-free.
THE LIME TRUCK IS NOW COOKING WITH
NO SEED OILS
We are proud to partner with Zero Acre Farms as part of our commitment to making the world a better, more delicious place.
Cooked with zero seed oils
Every dish on the truck, plant-based or not, is cooked without seed oils. We partnered with Zero Acre Farms and switched to cultured oil, which has a high smoke point and a clean, neutral flavor that lets the ingredients shine. Want the full story? Read why The Lime Truck cooks with zero seed oils.
Building a plant-based spread
A few combos that work well for a mostly vegan or mixed crowd. Pair the Trippy Mushroom Taco and the Mr. Potato Taco for guests who want tacos, the BPVB for anyone who wants something bigger, and Zesty Guacamole with Chips and Pico on the side. If you're booking a package, the Signature TLT Package already includes the Trippy Mushroom Taco. Tell us your rough vegan and vegetarian headcount and we'll suggest the rest.
We accommodate every diet
Vegan. Vegetarian. Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Soy-free. Nut-free. Our kitchen team is trained to handle dietary restrictions with care, and we're always happy to customize dishes for your guests. When you book, tell us roughly how many guests need what, and we'll stock the truck for it.
The format helps too. Guests order at the window for themselves, so nobody gets handed a separate container while everyone else eats.
Perfect for any event
Vegan and vegetarian weddings. A fully plant-based wedding, or a wedding where you just want your vegan friends to eat as well as everyone else. One wedding guest wrote that she's vegan and never gets to eat at weddings, and was blown away that we had real options for her. For ideas, read Vegan Wedding Catering Has Never Been Bolder, or see our wedding catering page.
Corporate lunches with mixed dietary needs. Every corporate menu includes vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. See corporate catering.
Festivals and big crowds. Our plant-based options hold up at festivals with thousands of guests. See festival catering.
Holiday parties. Planning a December party with a mixed crowd? Plant-based tacos are an easy way to make sure everyone eats. Holiday dates are filling up now.
