Food Truck Catering
Catering in Citrus Heights, CA
It took Citrus Heights until 1997 to incorporate as its own city, but the community had been staking its identity long before any official vote. Today it carries the confidence of a mid-size Sacramento-area city that knows what it wants — and what it wants from a meal is something that took real effort to make. That's where low-and-slow smoked BBQ earns its place: the brisket bark, the smoke ring, the pull of properly rendered pork shoulder — these aren't products of speed, and Citrus Heights has learned to appreciate the difference.

What We Cater in Citrus Heights, CA
The Sacramento metro gives Citrus Heights its economic context, but the city runs on its own community schedule — and that schedule creates consistent demand for food worth gathering around. BBQ from a truck isn't a novelty here; it's a practical answer to the question of how you feed a crowd well, whether the occasion is a company outing, a neighborhood event, or a school celebration. Smoke-driven cooking slows the pace of an afternoon in the best possible way.

Venues & Event Locations
When Skatetown Ice Arena fills up for a birthday party or a community skate night, the crowd that pours out has worked up a real appetite — and Smokin Zo's smoked brisket meets that moment without apology. Van Maren Park's open-air gatherings give the smoke somewhere to drift and the neighbors somewhere to follow it; it's the kind of setting that makes low-and-slow cooking feel completely at home. At North Ridge Country Club, where member events carry expectations, Smokin Zo's brings the same disciplined patience — the same insistence on bark and rest and proper smoke — that makes the difference between a meal and an experience.
California 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 Citrus Heights.
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.
