Santa Barbara Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events
From Summer Solstice on State Street to a packed concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, large-scale events in our coastal city are all about sunshine, scenery, and seriously good eats. Traditional tent kitchens used to crowd Elings Park and Chase Palm Park, but they required extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up. Modern food trucks have changed the game. Their self-contained commercial kitchens roll right up, fire up, and start serving within minutes—exactly what your Santa Barbara crowd expects.
Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for large events in Santa Barbara, giving planners instant access to a fleet of top local vendors. Need Baja-style tacos for 5,000 guests at Old Spanish Days Fiesta? We’ll book Tacos Pipeye or the always-popular Taqueria Mena. Want a Latin fusion twist for a UCSB commencement reception? Maravilla Latin Cuisine delivers empanadas and arroz con pollo that wow Isla Vista foodies. Craving comfort food for film-festival VIPs on lower State? Yummy Bird brings crispy fried chicken and vegan bites that keep everyone happy. And if you’re hosting a corporate retreat in the Funk Zone, Gloria’s Gourmet Kitchen can park curbside with craft-level street tacos.
No matter the venue—Santa Barbara City College’s Great Meadow, Pershing Park, or a private vineyard in the Santa Ynez foothills—our team coordinates multiple trucks, staggered service windows, and contactless payment to prevent long lines. Guests get the variety they love; you get turnkey service, health-department compliance, and a single point of contact. When you’re ready to elevate your next large-scale event, book Santa Barbara’s premier food truck catering with Best Food Trucks and serve tastes as unforgettable as our Pacific sunsets.

Why make guests stand around when they could be catching an ocean breeze at Cabrillo Boulevard or cheering a Gauchos game at Harder Stadium? Best Food Trucks brings Santa Barbara’s most advanced online ordering system straight to your large-scale event. Attendees pull out their phones, choose their favorite food truck—whether it’s wood-fired pizza on East Beach or tri-tip sliders up at Elings Park—and get a text the moment their food is ready. No crowded queues, no missed sunsets.
Planning the Summer Solstice Parade or a film premiere at the Arlington Theatre? Send a pre-order link ahead of time so guests can lock in a pickup window before the festivities even start. Our platform is built to handle the high-frequency ordering that comes with thousands of hungry locals and tourists. Pair Santa Barbara food truck catering with real-time mobile ordering and your large-scale event becomes pure coastal efficiency—great music, great views, and exceptional eats without the wait.

That signature burger is always amazing. I don't love the shoestring fries, but I'm not going to rate anything less than five as a result of it because the burger is so good.

I always love the taco nachos. This was the first time that we placed an order for the pulled pork Quesadilla. It did not disappoint in any way. It was delicious!!! We love The Nacho wagon!

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)
