Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From sun-splashed festivals at Chase Palm Park to sold-out concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl, our coastal city knows how to throw a party. What every successful gathering needs—besides killer views of the Pacific—is unforgettable food. Best Food Trucks brings fully self-contained, health-department-approved mobile kitchens to your venue, eliminating the headaches of old-school tent vendors that demand extra permits, power drops, and hours of set-up. When you book Santa Barbara food truck catering for large scale events with us, you get hot, fresh meals served fast and a menu variety that satisfies everyone from UCSB students to wine-country VIPs.
Instead of a single buffet line, imagine a row of local favorites parked along State Street or the Funk Zone: crave-worthy Tacos Pipeye handing out carne asada and al pastor, the vibrant Maravilla Latin Cuisine plating Latin fusion bowls, or Gloria’s Gourmet Kitchen rolling tortillas for scratch-made tacos. Need comfort food that flies off the pass? Yummy Bird serves crispy fried chicken and fusion eats that keep lines moving. Even pan-Asian flair is covered by the aptly named DELETE truck. With Best Food Trucks coordinating multiple vendors, you can offer a curated “mini food festival” inside your own large-scale event.
Whether you’re organizing Fiesta gatherings, a corporate retreat in the Riviera foothills, or a marathon finish line on Cabrillo Boulevard, our team streamlines the entire process: permitting, scheduling, on-site service, and post-event cleanup. Guests get more choice, shorter waits, and Instagram-worthy plates, while you get the peace of mind that comes from working with Santa Barbara’s leading experts in large event food truck catering.
Ready to make your next large-scale Santa Barbara event deliciously unforgettable? Contact Best Food Trucks today and let us line up the perfect fleet for you.
Skip the line and soak up the Santa Barbara vibe
From the first boom of Old Spanish Days fireworks to the sunset encore at the Santa Barbara Bowl, nobody heads to the American Riviera to stand in a food line. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile-first ordering platform, your guests spend more time exploring wine tents, artisan markets, and Pacific-view photo ops—and zero time glued to a queue. They just scan a QR code, choose their favorite truck—maybe a tri-tip torta from a local BBQ rig or a vegan poke bowl loaded with Carpinteria avocados—then get a text the second their meal is ready.
Hosting a crowd on the Great Meadow at UCSB, Chase Palm Park, or the Courthouse Sunken Gardens? Email or post a pre-order link days before gates open so attendees can lock in exact pick-up windows. Our cloud-based system is engineered for thousands of simultaneous orders, keeping pace with Surf ’n Suds Beer Festival surges and Gauchos home-game halftime rushes alike. Food trucks for large-scale events plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering means shorter lines, happier guests, and bigger sales—all while Santa Barbara keeps the party rolling.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.
