Hot, Customizable Meals for Santa Barbara Studios—Ready When You Call “Lunch!”
From the palm-lined streets of Montecito to the buzzing soundstages near the Funk Zone, Best Food Trucks is the trusted partner for studio food truck catering in Santa Barbara. After years of keeping crews happy on sets along the Central Coast, we know exactly how to make meal breaks smooth, fast, and delicious.
Our local team will design rotating daily menus that highlight the best of Santa Barbara’s mobile cuisine—think smoky carne asada from Tacos Pipeye, vibrant Latin plates courtesy of Maravilla Latin Cuisine, elevated tacos from Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen, Asian-inspired bowls via DELETE, and crispy fried-chicken perfection from Yummy Bird. Whether you’re filming a sunrise scene on East Beach or a night shoot in the Riviera neighborhood, your crew will get exactly what they crave.
We handle every detail—selecting the best service location on the lot, streamlining online ordering and pickup, vetting each vendor’s permits and insurance, and providing a clear, budget-friendly cost analysis. Food truck catering cuts down on food and packaging waste too, keeping our beautiful Santa Barbara coastline pristine.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your studio production. With us on set, the only thing you’ll need to yell is “Action!”
Fueling Santa Barbara’s Economy One Food Truck at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Santa Barbara isn’t just a win for your cast and crew—it’s a direct investment in our community. Nearly every truck we roll onto your backlot is a family-run venture that got its start at the Saturday Farmers Market on Cota Street or parked along State Street during Fiesta. By choosing these local operators for your Santa Barbara studio catering, you keep dollars circulating from Goleta to Carpinteria, supporting everything from UCSB student employees to the fishermen who supply today’s fresh catch.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for film shoots on the American Riviera. Self-contained kitchens mean lower power draw than a traditional commissary, while built-in service ware stations cut down on single-use packaging—keeping Hendry’s Beach and the Channel Islands free of extra trash. So the next time the production office Googles “studio food truck catering near me” or “low-budget film catering Santa Barbara,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers crave-worthy meals and a lighter environmental footprint, all while championing the small businesses that make our city taste incredible.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
