Hot, Customizable Meals for Santa Barbara Studios—Ready When You Say “Action!”
Shooting on the Riviera, in the Funk Zone, or up near Goleta? Best Food Trucks brings premier food truck catering for studios in Santa Barbara straight to your set. Our team has fed crews on Coast Village Road commercials and big-budget productions at the historic Flying A lot, so we know how to keep talent and crew happy while keeping the schedule tight.
We build rotating daily menus that rival the variety of the Tuesday Farmers Market on State Street. Craving authentic tacos? Book Tacos Pipeye, Taqueria Mena, or the crowd-pleasing Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen. Looking for Latin comfort plates? Maravilla Latin Cuisine delivers bold flavors reminiscent of a sunset on East Beach. Need crispy fried chicken to power through night shoots? Yummy Bird has you covered.
We scout the best serving location—whether it’s a tight spot off Cabrillo Boulevard or a soundstage at Studio 27—streamline online ordering and express pickup, verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with the City and County, and send you a clear cost analysis that keeps you on budget. By choosing food truck catering, your production cuts down on food and packaging waste, helping protect our gorgeous Pacific coastline.
Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime so you can focus on getting the perfect shot against the Santa Ynez Mountains. When it comes to studio food truck catering in Santa Barbara, we make “lunch is up!” the easiest call-sheet item of the day.
Fueling Santa Barbara’s Creative Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot doesn’t just keep the cast happy—it keeps Santa Barbara’s small-business scene thriving. Most of the trucks we dispatch—from a Goleta-based husband-and-wife barbecue rig to a Mesa local’s vegan bowl cart—are family-owned enterprises that source their produce at the Saturday Farmers Market on Cota Street. Every burrito or bánh mì you order helps these entrepreneurs pay rent, hire local crew, and reinvest right back into our coastal community.
Santa Barbara’s climate goals are famous, and food trucks fit right in. Compared with traditional craft-service buffets, trucks draw less power, idle for shorter periods, and serve in compostable ware that meets the City’s single-use plastics ban. That means less trash headed to Tajiguas Landfill and more green cred for your production.
So the next time you Google “studio food truck catering Santa Barbara” or “low-budget film catering near me,” remember: Best Food Trucks delivers hot, customizable meals while championing the very entrepreneurs who give the Funk Zone its flavor. Sustainable, local, and budget-smart—that’s a wrap!

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.
