Best Food Trucks in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is truly a special place. If you've never visited this sparkling coastal community a few hours north of Los Angeles, you're missing out. This area features a relaxed pace compared to the city, and some of the prettiest beaches in the entire state. The University of California has an outpost here, and the Montecito area just south of the city continues to draw big money developers and celebrities lining up to build second homes. At midday, State Street awakens as the center of the community, a fun place to stroll, dine and shop. The Farmers Market features amazing produce and wine grown right here in the surrounding fertile soils, Santa Barbara is truly a foodie's paradise! Locally sourced ingredients, prime wines and fresh seafood combine for some truly memorable dining experiences. The Santa Barbara food truck scene here is just ramping up, but here are two of our preferred vendors: Ventura BBQ Co. serves award winning Tri-Tip and Pulled Pork Sandwiches paired with delicious sides, and McConnell's Fine Ice Creams which features Ice Cream that's been made the right way since 1949. Get yourself a double scoop on a warm summer day!

They are one of the only true NY/NJ style pizzas in Tampa. Plus they said the first 10 online orders get free zeppoles and they were true to their word. The food & service is awesome.

The fries were the BEST!! The meat was a little on the salty side for my tastes (but I don't add salt to my food) Overall it was excellent, I like that it wasn't prepared until I got there eventhough I ordered in advance!

Put the baked beans in a separate bag, knotted to prevent spillage. 1/3 of my beans ended up under the main container inside the bag.

Food was really good. Only thing I recommend is not skimping on the brisket. Ordered a 3 meat platter with sausage, brisket and chicken. The amount of chicken we got was a lot compared to everything else. Chicken just happens to be the most inexpensive item for the business so I feel like that was on purpose.

Food was good. I specifically marked no bacon on my order but there was bacon on it anyway. But that's okay, I just pulled it off and gave it to the dog. lol
