Food Truck Catering for Parties in Santa Barbara
From sunset birthdays on East Beach to graduation bashes near the UCSB lagoon, Santa Barbara locals know that the vibe has to be just right—and nothing kills a good coastal party faster than bad food. Skip the frantic grocery runs on State Street and the post-party kitchen cleanup. Let a food truck roll up instead! Best Food Trucks is Santa Barbara’s go-to partner for mobile food vendor logistics. We coordinate the city’s favorite trucks, handle the permits, and give you back every square foot of your patio, backyard, or Funk Zone warehouse for dancing and mingling.
Our curated lineup brings the Central Coast’s diversity straight to your curb. Craving top-shelf Mexican tacos after a day of wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley? Book Tacos Pipeye or the family-run Taqueria Mena and watch guests pile their plates high with authentic al pastor. Want Latin flavors that match the city’s Spanish architecture? Maravilla Latin Cuisine serves bold, fiesta-ready dishes that make every gathering feel like Old Spanish Days Fiesta. Looking for crowd-pleasing comfort food before a show at the Arlington Theatre? Yummy Bird fires up crispy fried chicken and fusion tacos, while Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen keeps taco traditionalists happy.
With Best Food Trucks you get chef-driven kitchens on wheels, ocean-fresh ingredients, and zero mess left behind—just a pristine view of the Channel Islands and a lot of happy partygoers. Book your Santa Barbara party food truck today and taste why locals say the best events on the American Riviera start at the truck window!
Skip the Line—Soak Up Your Santa Barbara Party Vibes!
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday in the Riviera foothills or throwing an engagement party in a Funk Zone art loft, nobody wants to miss a sunset while stuck in a food truck queue. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system keeps your guests where the action is—on the dance floor, around the bocce court, or snapping pics of the Channel Islands—not waiting in line.
From the moment your food truck parks on Cabrillo Boulevard, guests can pull out their phones, browse your custom menu, and place an order in seconds. A quick text alerts them the minute their tri-tip sliders or Baja fish tacos are ready, so the party flow never skips a beat. Want to be extra organized? Send a pre-order link with your invite and let friends choose a pickup time before, during, or after the festivities.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
