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!

I love Chef Rey's. Get it every time it's at Boeing! Love the portions, it's always hot, juicy and delicious!!!

Chopping the brisket instead of pulling it would make it easier to eat on a grilled cheese sandwich to avoid larger amounts coming out together. Also, double check preorders to ensure everything is accounted for...I shouldn't have to go back to the truck for the side of Barbecue sauce that I had ordered.

- absolutely delicious with every bite. I would order the Philly Cheesesteak again for sure. Thank you!

The pizza was amazing. Wood fire from a truck is always a hit. Would like to see them in the rotation more often.

Naco Taco was fantastic to work with! As organizers, they came early to set up, were easy to communicate with throughout the event, and were so friendly. The food was fantastic and everyone raved about it. They were also especially thoughtful when it came to our guests' dietary needs, carefully checking and clarifying what people were able to eat!
