Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From bustling UCSB graduation parties to sunset concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl and the legendary Old Spanish Days Fiesta on State Street, the best large-scale events in town all share two things: unforgettable entertainment and incredible food. Modern event planners across Santa Barbara County are ditching the old-school tent kitchens—along with their generators, extra permits, and lengthy setup times—and booking food trucks with full, self-contained commercial kitchens instead.
Why? Because food truck catering lets you park a diverse lineup of cuisines right where your guests are. Imagine pairing ocean views from Stearns Wharf with smoky carne asada tacos from Tacos Pipeye, or treating marathon runners on Cabrillo Boulevard to the bold flavors of Maravilla Latin Cuisine. Craving craft-fried chicken sliders after a hard day of wine tasting in the Funk Zone? Yummy Bird has you covered. Need authentic street-style tacos for a corporate retreat at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara? Gloria’s Gourmet Kitchen will roll right up. We can even spice things up with Asian fusion favorites from DELETE.
Best Food Trucks curates and coordinates multiple Santa Barbara food trucks for festivals, sporting events, charity runs, film shoots, and any gathering that feeds 500 to 50,000 hungry guests. Our on-site staff manages truck placement, service flow, and real-time demand so your attendees spend less time in line and more time enjoying the Riviera vibe. When you need the most reliable, mouth-watering food truck catering for large-scale events in Santa Barbara, count on Best Food Trucks to deliver—literally.

The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were large - enough left over for lunch tomorrow. There aren't many creole trucks out there so knocking it out of the park flavor-wise was great!

Delicious food, ready for pickup exactly when promised, and friendly, welcoming folks running the operation. I hope they return to Greyhawk Landing.

Food was delicious but I have a feeling I got someone else's order. Be careful with your online orders.

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.

Have the pick-up window labeled so people who pre-order can go straight up to the window instead of being overlooked as someone who hasn't ordered yet or someone who is waiting for their food order.

I would put messaging in the text alerts to: let the staff know when you have arrived and provide your order number. I waited 15 min. Not realizing that. Thank you
