Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From Fiesta celebrations along State Street to massive concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl, locals know that every great gathering on the American Riviera is powered by amazing food. Today’s organizers are retiring the old pop-up tents and chafing dishes; they’re booking fully self-contained food trucks that can roll up, fire up, and serve thousands without extra permits or long setup windows. Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating large scale food truck catering in Santa Barbara, bringing a fleet of top-notch mobile kitchens right to your venue—whether that’s at Leadbetter Beach, the Funk Zone, or the UCSB campus.
Our curated lineup covers every craving. Treat guests to authentic Mexican street eats from Tacos Pipeye or the bold Latin flavors of Maravilla Latin Cuisine. Looking for artisanal tacos that rival those served on Milpas Street? Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen has you covered. Comfort-food fans can dive into crispy fried chicken and fusion favorites from Yummy Bird, while classic carne asada burritos from Taqueria Mena keep the crowd fueled from kickoff to encore.

Instead of queueing up on Cabrillo Boulevard, attendees simply pull out their phones, choose their favorite truck, and receive a text the moment their tri-tip sandwich or Baja fish taco is ready.

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.
