Food Truck Catering for Events in Santa Barbara
Whether you’re throwing a sunset wedding on East Beach, staging an outdoor movie night at the Courthouse Sunken Gardens, or hosting a tech mixer in the Funk Zone, great food is what turns a good gathering into a legendary Santa Barbara experience. Modern food truck catering is perfectly suited for our coastal climate—no bulky tents, no long set-up windows, just fully self-contained kitchens that roll up, fire up, and start serving fresh meals within minutes.
Choosing food truck catering for events in Santa Barbara also means variety. Your guests can stroll State Street with a Baja-style taco in one hand and crispy fried chicken in the other—something traditional tent vendors could never pull off. From gourmet to laid-back comfort food, there’s a local truck ready to match your vibe and your venue.
Here are a few hometown favorites you can book today:
- Tacos Pipeye – Authentic Mexican street tacos that pair perfectly with a Riviera sunset.
- Maravilla Latin Cuisine – A celebration of Latin flavors inspired by the belief that “life is a maravilla.”
- Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen – Hand-pressed tortillas and Santa Maria–style tri-tip tacos made to order.
- DELETE – Asian fusion favorites, from spicy sesame noodles to Korean BBQ sliders.
- Yummy Bird – Crispy fried chicken and creative fusion plates, including vegan options for UCSB Gauchos and beyond.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)
