Food Truck Catering
Catering in Carencro, LA
Carencro sits just north of Lafayette, small enough to know its neighbors and proud enough to feed them well. Smokin Zo's brings low-and-slow pit BBQ to that table — hours of smoke and patience folded into every brisket slice, every rib, every heap of pulled pork. The craft matches the community: unhurried, hearty, and genuinely good.

What We Cater in Carencro, LA
From fundraiser cookouts to family reunions stretched across a humid Louisiana afternoon, Carencro knows how to gather — and gathering here means real food, not an afterthought. Smokin Zo's is built for exactly that scale: a truck that can anchor a crowd, keep a line moving, and still deliver the slow-cooked flavor that makes people come back for seconds. The backyard-cookout warmth isn't a style choice here; it's the only mode that makes sense.

Venues & Event Locations
Beaver Park draws Carencro families out for weekend afternoons, and it's exactly the kind of open, easy-going setting where a line forming at a BBQ window feels like part of the landscape. Across town, Pelican Park fills up for organized events that call for real, satisfying food — the kind that sticks with people through an afternoon in the Louisiana heat. When a larger gathering comes together at Griffin Hall, Smokin Zo's scales to meet it, turning any indoor event into something that smells as good as it tastes.
Louisiana does not have health or fire reciprocity — each local jurisdiction issues its own food-truck permits.
If your event requires permitting, you'll work directly with the City of Carencro.
Smokin Zo's and our local partners carry current health, fire, and business licensing. We're glad to share our documentation with your venue or organizer on request.

Jess
Food Truck Booking Agent
Compassionate follow-up and organized menu support backed by commissary operations experience.
Jess judges good BBQ by the bark on a properly rendered brisket, and she brings that same attention to detail into planning smoky BBQ comfort food for real events. Her signature advice is to factor in the crowd's demographic mix, not just headcount, since vendor meals and service style change how much a group actually eats — a lesson proven across a 5,000-guest Southwest Airlines event and a 5-day stretch prepping 10 trucks for 50 events serving about 7,500 guests, each truck stocked with the right menu and inventory. Before smoke ever hits the pit for your event, she's also checking insurance, safety compliance, references, and fire-risk gaps so BBQ service keeps the event moving.
- Commissary inventory and kitchen ops for 10+ trucks
- Strong on follow-up, menu support, and client clarity
Jess will help you confirm menu direction, timing, access, and setup — and whether truck, buffet, or drop-off is the right fit for your event.
