Food Truck Catering for Parties in Santa Barbara
Throwing a birthday bash overlooking East Beach? Organizing a graduation party for your new Gaucho from UCSB? Maybe you’re hosting a sunset mixer in the Funk Zone after a day of wine tasting on the Urban Wine Trail. Whatever the occasion, Santa Barbara party-planners know the secret to a stress-free celebration: bring in the food trucks.
Best Food Trucks makes party catering on the American Riviera effortless. Instead of juggling chafing dishes or cleaning a rented kitchen, you’ll have a fully self-contained restaurant on wheels parked right at your venue—whether that’s a backyard in Hope Ranch or a rooftop terrace on State Street. Our online ordering platform lets guests grab their tri-tip sandwich or vegan taco right from their phones, so you can focus on clinking glasses, not collecting plates.
Choose from local favorites that Santa Barbarans crave:
- Tacos Pipeye – Authentic Mexican street eats perfect after a surfing session at Leadbetter.
- Maravilla Latin Cuisine – Bold Latin flavors that pair beautifully with a glass of Santa Ynez rosé.
- Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen – Hand-pressed tortillas and juicy tacos that bring the fiesta to any Mesa block party.
- Yummy Bird – Crispy fried chicken and fusion bites that satisfy crowds from Goleta to Carpinteria.
- Taqueria Mena – Classic carne asada and al pastor that taste even better under swaying palm trees.
From the first inquiry to the last bite, Best Food Trucks handles permits, parking logistics, and real-time guest ordering. You get Santa Barbara’s best food, zero kitchen mess, and all the coastal-cool vibes your party deserves. Book your food truck catering today and let the good times—and tacos—roll!
Skip the Line—Soak Up the Santa Barbara Vibe
When the Pacific is sparkling and the Mission bells are chiming, nobody wants to be stuck in a food queue. Best Food Trucks’ mobile-ordering platform lets your guests tap in their order from a beach chair at East Beach or a picnic blanket at Elings Park, then get a text when their food truck feast is ready. No lines, no guessing, just more time to sip margaritas and watch that Channel Islands sunset.
Planning ahead? Send a pre-order link with your party invitation so friends can lock in a tri-tip torta or Baja fish taco for a specific pick-up window—before, during, or after the festivities. It’s the easiest way to keep the focus on your Santa Barbara party while serving top-tier food truck catering with zero stress for you.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
