Food Truck Catering
Catering in Dublin, CA
Something happens when smoke meets the open air in Dublin — the whole neighborhood slows down and leans in. Smokin Zo's brings that low-and-slow backyard energy right into the heart of this East Bay city, where brisket bark and fall-off-the-bone ribs feel right at home among the hills and the people who love them. This is real pit-smoked BBQ, patient and proud, built for the kind of community that shows up hungry and stays to talk.

What We Cater in Dublin, CA
Dublin is the kind of place where families fill the parks on Saturday and weekday evenings find neighbors out walking the same streets — which means a well-loaded BBQ truck fits naturally into the rhythm of the city. There's an appetite here, literal and communal, for food that takes its time and rewards the wait. Pulled pork piled high and a smoke ring that tells the whole story are exactly what this mid-size East Bay city calls for.

Venues & Event Locations
On game nights at Amador Valley High School Stadium, the smell of smoked brisket drifting across the bleachers turns a good Friday into a great one. Campus events at Diablo Valley College draw a crowd that knows good food, and Smokin Zo's has fed plenty of them between classes and convocations. Over at the Alameda County Library Dublin, community gatherings take on a whole new character when pulled pork and smoky sides are part of the program — and when the occasion calls for something elevated, Ruby Hill Country Club has welcomed Smokin Zo's for the kind of backyard-meets-ballroom BBQ spread that members still talk about. Dublin Iceland brings its own unique energy to the mix, and a steaming tray of ribs waiting outside those doors after a skate session is the kind of detail that makes a Tuesday feel like a celebration.
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 Dublin.
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.
