Best Food Trucks in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is truly a special place. If you've never visited this sparkling coastal community a few hours north of Los Angeles, you're missing out. This area features a relaxed pace compared to the city, and some of the prettiest beaches in the entire state. The University of California has an outpost here, and the Montecito area just south of the city continues to draw big money developers and celebrities lining up to build second homes. At midday, State Street awakens as the center of the community, a fun place to stroll, dine and shop. The Farmers Market features amazing produce and wine grown right here in the surrounding fertile soils, Santa Barbara is truly a foodie's paradise! Locally sourced ingredients, prime wines and fresh seafood combine for some truly memorable dining experiences. The Santa Barbara food truck scene here is just ramping up, but here are two of our preferred vendors: Ventura BBQ Co. serves award winning Tri-Tip and Pulled Pork Sandwiches paired with delicious sides, and McConnell's Fine Ice Creams which features Ice Cream that's been made the right way since 1949. Get yourself a double scoop on a warm summer day!

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.

We choose Good Hombres to cater a retirement party at our business, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They arrived right on time to set up and were ready to serve exactly when planned. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous—no one left hungry! The staff was incredibly friendly and kept the line moving quickly, so everyone was served without long waits. We chose a package that included an entrée, side, and drink for each guest, and it was well worth it. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. Our guests loved the unique idea of having a food truck, and it really added something special to the event. Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or corporate event!

- the side of salsa was only half full so not enough for 4 pieces of quesadilla; side of sour cream may have been fat-free as it wasn't as flavorful as regular sour cream.

The flavor of the fries & corn dog were great & the fried cookie dough was a nice treat to have accessible given you typically only get the luxury of fair food at the fair. It's nice to have the option for fair food so easily accessible! Look forward to ordering again!
