Food Truck Catering for Events in Santa Barbara
Planning an event on the American Riviera? Whether you’re throwing a beachfront wedding on East Beach, a corporate mixer in the Funk Zone, or a Gaucho graduation party near UCSB, great food is as important as the Pacific sunset. Modern food truck catering for events in Santa Barbara delivers exactly that. Unlike the old tent set-ups that needed generators, permits, and hours of prep, today’s food trucks arrive as fully self-contained commercial kitchens—ready to start cooking the moment they park.
With Best Food Trucks you can line State Street with flavors your guests will remember long after the last photo at the courthouse gardens. From intimate wine-country concerts to massive Old Spanish Days fiestas, our fleet scales up or down effortlessly. And because every truck has its own vibe, you can match cuisine to crowd: gourmet, casual, vegan-friendly, gluten-free—whatever your Santa Barbara event calls for.
Check out a few local favorites available for your next gathering:
- Tacos Pipeye – Authentic Mexican street tacos that pair perfectly with a cold local brew from Figueroa Mountain Brewing.
- Maravilla Latin Cuisine – A celebration of Latin flavors, ideal for fiestas at El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park.
- Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen – Hand-pressed tortillas and sizzling tacos that make any cliff-side reception unforgettable.
- Yummy Bird – Crispy fried chicken and global fusion comfort food, perfect for movie nights at the Courthouse Sunken Gardens.
- Taqueria Mena – Traditional Mexican favorites that satisfy surfers rolling in from Rincon.
So skip the clunky buffet tables and let our rolling kitchens bring fresh, hot meals straight to your guests. Best Food Trucks makes renting food trucks for events in Santa Barbara simple, scenic, and delicious—just like our city itself.
Skip the Santa Barbara lines and enjoy the fiesta!
Nothing kills a Riviera vibe faster than a long food line. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform, your guests can soak up the sunset, snap courthouse photos, or browse the Funk Zone murals while their meals are prepared fresh. From a Thirsty Thursday concert at Chase Palm Park to a UCSB alumni bash in Isla Vista, attendees simply tap in their order, choose a pickup time, and kick back. A quick text alert lets them know when their tri-tip tacos or vegan bánh mì are ready—no queue, no hassle.
Planning a tight schedule? Send a pre-order link in your invite and let partygoers lock in a pickup slot before they even cross the 101. It’s the smartest way to blend smooth event flow with the best food truck catering for events in Santa Barbara.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.
