Our curated roster of Central Coast favorites guarantees a menu that excites every donor.

Forget wrestling with multiple vendors, missing chefs, or complicated menus. Our team secures permits, positions the trucks, and integrates our cash-free digital ordering platform. Guests order on their phones, receive a text when food is ready, and spend more time engaging with your pledge drives—not waiting in line.
Best Food Trucks is the industry leader in fundraiser catering in Santa Barbara because we combine gourmet cuisine, lightning-fast service, and transparent online reviews you can trust. From UCSB alumni events to Fiesta parade boosters, we’ve fueled hundreds of local non-profits—raising spirits and donations at the same time.

Skip the line—let your Santa Barbara fundraiser shine!
Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform was built for busy benefits on Cabrillo, campus drives at UCSB, and silent auctions in the Funk Zone. Guests simply scan, tap, and stroll—placing orders on their phones and receiving a text when their tri-tip torta or Baja fish taco is ready. No standing in a winding queue, and no missing that paddle raise or live-auction bid.
Want to keep the spotlight on your cause? Email a pre-order link to donors the night before. They can choose a pickup window that fits your program—whether that’s just after the opening remarks at the Santa Barbara Mission lawn or during halftime of the charity kickball game at Elings Park.
Food trucks plus online ordering equals the most efficient, crowd-pleasing fundraiser food truck catering in Santa Barbara. Your attendees savor exceptional local eats, your volunteers stay stress-free, and you collect more pledges instead of meal tickets.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.
