Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Santa Barbara
Planning a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, a corporate retreat in the Funk Zone, or a community fundraiser on Stearns Wharf? Great entertainment needs equally memorable food, and that’s where food truck catering for large-scale events in Santa Barbara shines. Instead of juggling old-school tent kitchens, permits, and power hookups, you can roll in fully self-contained food trucks that start serving as soon as they park.
Best Food Trucks coordinates an entire fleet—so whether you need one truck for 200 Gauchos at UCSB or ten trucks for 10,000 Fiesta revelers in El Presidio, we’ve got you covered. Our roster spans every flavor Santa Barbarans crave, from coastal comfort food to bold Latin spices, giving guests more choice than any single buffet line ever could.
Craving local Mexican favorites? Book Tacos Pipeye or Taqueria Mena and watch the crowd line up for handmade tortillas piled high with asada and fresh salsa. Want Latin fusion that celebrates Old Spanish Days all year long? Maravilla Latin Cuisine brings a “vida es maravilla” attitude and dishes that dance with flavor. For gourmet tacos that pair perfectly with a Funk Zone IPA, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen is the go-to. And if you’d rather serve crispy fried chicken sliders or Korean-spiced tacos, Yummy Bird delivers American comfort with a global twist—even vegan options for plant-based guests.
From festivals on Cabrillo Boulevard to outdoor movie nights in Alameda Park, our Santa Barbara food truck catering service handles scheduling, permits, insurance, and on-site logistics. You focus on the music, the surf, or the sunset—we’ll serve the flavor. Reach out today and discover why Best Food Trucks is the first call for large-scale event catering in Santa Barbara.
Skip the Line and Soak Up Santa Barbara’s Vibe
When you’re rocking out at the Santa Barbara Bowl, strolling a First Thursday art walk on State Street, or cheering on the Gauchos at Harder Stadium, the last thing guests want is to stand in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering platform lets your large-scale event attendees order straight from their phones, wander the palm-lined promenade, and get a text the moment their tri-tip taco or vegan poke bowl is ready. No bottlenecks, no lost beach time—just quick, delicious food truck catering for large-scale events in Santa Barbara.
Need extra convenience? Send a pre-order link before the gates even open so locals can lock in a 6:30 PM pickup on their way to watch the sunset from Leadbetter Beach. Our system is built to handle thousands of simultaneous orders—perfect for Fiesta crowds or massive corporate summits at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara. Food trucks plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals happy guests, smoother lines, and more time to enjoy everything that makes Santa Barbara unforgettable.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.

It was a perfect combo of flavors with the right amount of spice and it had lots of chicken and veggies. (Spicy basil w/ rice)
