Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
Whether you’re packing the Santa Barbara Bowl, hosting a surf-side fundraiser at Leadbetter Beach, or cheering on the Gauchos at UCSB, nothing energizes a crowd like a convoy of local food trucks. Modern food trucks arrive with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, so you skip the hassle of tent permits, generators, and hours of setup. Best Food Trucks coordinates every detail, bringing a curated fleet straight to your venue and serving hundreds—sometimes thousands—of happy guests with ease.
Santa Barbara’s food scene is as colorful as the Spanish tile along State Street, and our mobile caterers reflect that diversity. Craving authentic Mexican flavors? Book Tacos Pipeye and watch guests line up for carne asada piled high on handmade tortillas. Want Latin fusion that turns any event into a fiesta worthy of Old Spanish Days? Maravilla Latin Cuisine plates bold, comforting dishes inspired by kitchens all over Central and South America.
If your large-scale event calls for next-level tacos, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen delivers sizzling options that pair perfectly with a sunset over the harbor. Looking for something everyone—from kids to VIPs—can get excited about? Yummy Bird serves crowd-pleasing fried chicken with an American-Korean-Mexican twist, plus vegan choices for plant-based eaters.
Need Asian comfort food to round out the roster? Our network even includes DELETE, ready to dish out savory street classics that keep lines moving and bellies full.

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.
