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!

The food was good but the crab cake was advertised as having 4 shrimp and neither one had any shrimp 😟

The food was delicious BUT they need to put the number of items for the appetizers so you know what you are getting. The picture of the gyoza shows six on their website and we only received 5.

- great flavors but a disproportionate amount of rice and beans to shrimp for me. Would have preferred more shrimp. Loved the salsas too!

Great costumer service, he said he was 2 onions rings short and gave us sweet potato fries. Super thoughtful 10/10 recommend and the food was amazing as well

I had general Tso's chicken. There was way too much breading, which was very soggy, and way too little actual chicken. But the flavor was good although a bit too sweet.

The burger was delicious but it was the fries that really stood out. Every single fry was warm on the inside and crisp on the outside with perfect seasoning. They were the best!

Their food is ALWAYS amazing...and generously portioned! The meatballs and caprese salad are among my favorites. And I didn't know that I liked tiramisu until I tried theirs! Delicious! And on top of that, their service is terrific. Always friendly and enthusiastic!
