Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From summer concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl to epic surf contests at Leadbetter Beach, big gatherings in Santa Barbara, CA deserve food that is just as memorable as the Pacific sunset. In years past, organizers had to juggle pop-up tents, extra permits, and power hookups just to feed a crowd. Today, fully self-contained food trucks roll in with commercial kitchens on wheels, cutting set-up time to minutes while adding serious culinary variety.
Whether you’re hosting thousands of alumni at a UCSB Gauchos homecoming, packing Stearns Wharf for a fireworks show, or throwing the ultimate Fiesta parade after-party on State Street, food truck catering keeps the lines moving and the guests smiling. Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple trucks for high-volume service, so you can offer everything from gourmet fusion to classic comfort eats without the headache of managing separate vendors.
Santa Barbara’s favorite trucks are ready to roll up and serve:
- Tacos Pipeye – crowd-pleasing Mexican classics perfect for late-night fiestas.
- Maravilla Latin Cuisine – bold Latin flavors that turn any plaza into a street-food celebration.
- Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen – handcrafted tacos that pair beautifully with a Riviera sunset.
- Yummy Bird – crispy fried chicken and fusion bites that satisfy beach-day appetites.
- Taqueria Mena – authentic Mexican fare that keeps Fiesta spirit alive all year long.

The brisket was a little dry. Still good but I did use more bbq sauce than I usually do on a sandwich.
