Sandwiches Food Truck Catering in San Diego
From the surf breaks at Pacific Beach to the start-ups of Sorrento Valley, San Diego knows great food on the go—and nothing hits the spot faster than a killer sandwich. Best Food Trucks is San Diego’s one-stop solution for sandwich food truck catering, bringing the city’s freshest bread, meats, and produce straight to your festival, wedding, office lunch, or backyard fiesta.
Why do locals trust us? Because we’re as obsessed with sandwiches as San Diegans are with perfect weather. A sandwich is portable for a day at Balboa Park, customizable like your favorite Mission Valley burrito bowl, and always delicious. We curate trucks that stack it all—classic deli cuts, Baja-style turkey clubs, vegan jackfruit banh mi, and gluten-free ciabatta melts—so every guest is stoked.
Every truck we dispatch rolls up fully loaded: artisan breads baked that morning, farm-fresh veggies from North County growers, and house-made sauces that would make any Gaslamp chef jealous. Our seasoned “Sando-consultants” (yes, that’s a real job) keep your service line moving faster than the trolley at rush hour while helping guests build their dream bite.
Looking to mix things up? Add a little local flavor with these fan-favorites:
- Aunty Lynne – Asian-Fusion sliders stuffed with bulgogi or teriyaki beef bring a Pacific-Rim twist to the classic sandwich.
- Señor Wooffle – Organic, farm-grown produce piled onto toasted waffle-wiches for a true American bistro treat.
- “O” Food Truck – Surf-and-turf paninis crafted with 100% organic ingredients—perfect for a La Jolla sunset soirée.
- Badas Burgers – Smash-style patties and brioche buns that rival any beach-front burger joint, available slider-size for easy catering.
- Simply Fresh – California-inspired deli classics and crisp salads that make healthy taste epic.
Best Food Trucks delivers affordable packages, real-time online ordering, and white-glove logistics so you can actually enjoy your event—no parking headaches, no power issues, no messy cleanup.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

Food is always great! They just need to work on their online ordering. Quesadilla doesn't have meat options and 1 taco shows for $13 but 3 tacos plus rice and beans is just a couple dollars more!

The fact that they ran out of an ingredient and offered us anything else on the menu for no extra charge .. that shows great service to the Boeing community that can't wait for them to come around.. thank you

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
