Food Truck Catering for Santa Barbara Offices
Imagine the sun-soaked views of the Santa Ynez Mountains right outside your conference room while your team enjoys sizzling, made-to-order lunches. Best Food Trucks now brings the vibrant food truck catering scene to offices in Santa Barbara, from downtown firms on State Street to tech start-ups in Goleta and research labs at UCSB. Instead of tired chafing-dish buffets prepared hours earlier, your employees can step outside for fresh meals cooked on the spot—and be back at their desks in minutes.
Whether your staff craves authentic Mexican street tacos from Tacos Pipeye or a Latin-fusion feast courtesy of Maravilla Latin Cuisine, we’ve got a rolling kitchen to match every palate. Add crispy fried chicken and fusion fare from Yummy Bird, gourmet tacos via Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen, or the classic flavors of Taqueria Mena, and your lunch lineup will feel like a mini Fiesta Week—no confetti required.
Our industry-leading scheduling platform lets office managers line up multiple food trucks on a rotating basis, guaranteeing variety that keeps morale sky-high. Need guidance? Our local catering pros—many of whom grew up grabbing tacos by the Mission and gelato on the wharf—will curate affordable menus that fit dietary requests, head counts, and parking logistics. We handle every detail before, during, and after service, so all you have to do is step outside and enjoy that perfect Santa Barbara breeze.
Fueling Santa Barbara’s Small Businesses & Sustainable Future
Every time you roll a food truck onto your office lot in Santa Barbara, you’re doing more than feeding hungry co-workers—you’re circulating dollars right back into our community. Most of the trucks we book are run by lifelong Central Coast families and solo chefs who buy their produce at the Tuesday State Street Farmers Market, grill with local Santa Maria–style red oak, and park evenings in the Funk Zone. Your lunch budget helps them pay employees, renew city permits, and keep the independent spirit of SB’s food scene thriving.
Food trucks are also an eco-friendly upgrade over chafing dishes and disposable buffet trays. Because the kitchens are mobile, they use less electricity, drive shorter routes, and can compost prep scraps directly into the City of Santa Barbara’s green-bin program. Many of our partner trucks serve in biodegradable plates made from agave fiber or even offer true reusables for zero-waste service.
So the next time someone on your team Googles “office food truck catering in Santa Barbara,” give Best Food Trucks a call. You’ll get crave-worthy meals, lower your event’s carbon footprint, and keep our local entrepreneurs—those same folks you see at East Beach on Sunday mornings—prospering.

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.
