Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
Nothing says “Santa Barbara” like sunshine, ocean breezes, and a plate of fresh local food enjoyed outdoors. Whether you’re filling the Santa Barbara Bowl during a summer concert, hosting thousands of riders at the SB Century, or planning an all-hands celebration at UCSB, great cuisine is central to the experience. Modern food truck catering lets you serve that cuisine quickly and safely—without the headaches of pop-up tents, temporary kitchens, extra permits, or hours of setup and tear-down.
Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for large-scale events in Santa Barbara. Our curated fleet arrives fully self-contained, bringing commercial kitchens on wheels that can park just off State Street, in the Funk Zone, or beside the sand at Leadbetter Beach. With multiple trucks on site, your guests get the variety they crave while lines stay short and service stays fast.
Looking to spice up Old Spanish Days Fiesta? Invite local Mexican favorite Tacos Pipeye or the authentic flavors of Taqueria Mena. Want Latin fusion that pairs perfectly with a waterfront sunset? Maravilla Latin Cuisine rolls in with hearty plates that celebrate life—la vida es una maravilla, after all.
For comfort food that keeps crowds happy at surf competitions or soccer tournaments, book crispy fried chicken and fusion tacos from Yummy Bird. And if you need gourmet street-style tacos for a tech-industry launch downtown, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen delivers elevated flavors without ever leaving the curb.

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.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.

Joann and her team with Senor Blues was a pleasure to work with for our company Xmas party. They showed up early and were ready to go when our party started and the food was delicious.
