Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Santa Barbara Studio Set
From the sound stages on Santa Barbara’s historic Riviera to photo shoots along the palm-lined stretches of Cabrillo Boulevard, Best Food Trucks is the local expert in studio food truck catering. We understand the tight timetables of film and TV crews, so your meal breaks stay on schedule and your cast and crew stay happy.
Our Santa Barbara team will design rotating daily menus that showcase the Central Coast’s vibrant flavors. Picture starting Monday with al pastor and carne asada from Tacos Pipeye, Tuesday with grilled pollo guisado and empanadas from Maravilla Latin Cuisine, Wednesday with street-style tacos from local favorite Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen, and finishing the week with crispy fried chicken sliders from Yummy Bird or Baja-inspired burritos from Taqueria Mena. Whatever your crew is craving, we have a truck rolling up for it.
We’ll scout the best parking spots—whether that’s outside a converted warehouse in the Funk Zone or next to a green screen on the Mesa—streamline online ordering and pickup, and make sure every vendor carries the proper Santa Barbara County permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis that keeps you on budget and a sustainability report highlighting the waste you’ve reduced by choosing food trucks over disposable box lunches.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics of your Santa Barbara studio catering, so you can focus on getting the perfect shot while your team enjoys hot, fresh meals with an ocean breeze in the background.
Fueling Santa Barbara’s Small Businesses
Booking a Best Food Trucks vendor for your Santa Barbara studio catering does more than keep talent fed—it pours money right back into the hometown entrepreneurs who make our coastal city shine. Every truck we dispatch is owned by a local family or solo chef who lives in neighborhoods like Goleta, the Funk Zone, or Carpinteria. When you choose food truck catering for a film set on Milpas Street or a photo shoot overlooking Stearns Wharf, your production dollars stay in Santa Barbara instead of disappearing to an out-of-town conglomerate.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft services. Our mobile kitchens run on modern, energy-efficient equipment, and many of our chefs source produce from nearby farms in the Santa Ynez Valley, reducing delivery miles and single-use packaging. Several partners even compost and recycle onboard, helping your production shrink its environmental footprint—something location managers love when filming in our pristine coastal parks.
So the next time you’re searching “film set food truck catering in Santa Barbara” or “low-budget studio meals State Street,” skip the disposable box lunches and let Best Food Trucks roll up with a sustainable, community-powered feast. Your crew will taste the difference—and Santa Barbara’s small businesses will thank you.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Amazing crust, great cheese and pepperoni. Sauce tasted great too, but I would like a bit more on the pizza

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.

Very tasty! The seasoning on the fries has a nice kick to it. Burger was way bigger than I expected and cooked just the way I like it.
