The Food Truck Experience
Creolala started out as a gourmet food truck serving the hottest spots on the streets of Los Angeles. The truck's popularity blossomed naturally led to catering requests from our street customers. If your guests want an authentic Los Angeles food truck experience, we can serve any type of event directly from the truck or combine it with buffet service. Prices range from $25 to $40 per person depending on the menu items desired and the number of staff required to serve your event.
