Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara

From concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl to UCSB graduation weekend and Old Spanish Days Fiesta on State Street, the South Coast knows how to throw a big party. Great music, ocean views, and sunshine deserve an equally impressive culinary lineup. That’s where food truck catering for large-scale events in Santa Barbara truly shines.

Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that crowd Chase Palm Park and require extra permits, power hookups, and hours of setup, modern food trucks arrive fully self-contained and ready to serve. Their commercial kitchens-on-wheels breeze through Cabrillo Boulevard, roll into the Funk Zone, and start cooking within minutes—no generators to rent, no grease traps to dig, no stress for your event team.

Best Food Trucks coordinates an entire fleet so every guest—from surfers craving tacos to wine lovers searching for elevated bites—finds something delicious. Need crowd-pleasing Mexican fare? We’ll send the beloved Tacos Pipeye. Want Latin comfort food with a fiesta vibe? Let Maravilla Latin Cuisine cruise up the 101 and park by the Mission rose garden. For hand-pressed tortillas loaded with gourmet fillings, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen always draws a line. And if your polo-field tailgate calls for crispy fried chicken and fusion tacos, Yummy Bird delivers the crunch.

Whether you’re hosting 500 tech-conference attendees at the Hilton Beachfront Resort or 10,000 festival-goers at Elings Park, our Santa Barbara food truck catering team scales seamlessly. Multiple service windows slash wait times, diverse menus satisfy every dietary need, and our real-time online ordering platform keeps lines short so guests can get back to the music, the match, or the coastline sunset.

Make your next large-scale event in Santa Barbara unforgettable—book Best Food Trucks and taste the difference the right wheels can make.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Our employees loved the food truck and they were prompt and had enough food for both our day and night shift team members. The food was delicious. We would definitely use them again for future events.

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.
