Food Truck Catering for Events in Santa Barbara
From sunset weddings on Butterfly Beach to company picnics at Elings Park, Santa Barbara locals know an event isn’t complete without amazing food. Modern food truck catering delivers just that—no pop-up tents, no miles of extension cords, and no lengthy setup at the end of Stearns Wharf. Each truck rolls in with a fully self-contained kitchen that’s Health-Department-approved and ready to serve within minutes. It’s the easiest way to keep guests happy while you focus on the live band or the big screen at your outdoor movie night.
Best Food Trucks partners with an eclectic roster of Santa Barbara favorites, so you can match the vibe of your event—whether it’s Old Spanish Days, a private tasting in the Funk Zone, or a graduation party up by the Mission. Craving authentic street tacos? Tacos Pipeye will park curbside with al pastor spinning on the trompo. Looking for something hearty with a Caribbean twist? Maravilla Latin Cuisine plates up bold Latin flavors your guests won’t forget. If you want gourmet tacos that rival anything on State Street, book Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen. And for crispy fried chicken sliders that pair perfectly with a cold local IPA from Topa Topa, invite Yummy Bird to the party.
No matter the guest count at the Santa Barbara Bowl or the intimate backyard soirée in Montecito, our fleet gives you the flexibility to go upscale or laid-back without sacrificing taste. Ready to lock in the best food truck catering for your Santa Barbara event? Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics while you soak in those Channel Islands views.
Breeze past the line—Santa Barbara-style!
Our coastline traffic might crawl, but your guests don’t have to. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering system, Santa Barbara party-goers can soak up the Pacific views instead of queuing for lunch. Guests tap in their order from Leadbetter Beach, the Sunken Gardens, or their box seat at the Santa Barbara Bowl and receive a text the moment their tri-tip or açai bowl is plated. No shouting over mariachis during Fiesta, no missing the bride’s first dance at the Riviera Mansion—just hot food, ready when they are.
Planning ahead? Send a pre-order link so UCSB grads can schedule pick-ups between diploma photos, or let wine-walkers in the Funk Zone reserve sliders before the tasting tour begins. Food trucks plus seamless online ordering keeps the spotlight on your event while serving up the Central Coast’s best bites—fast.

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)
