Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From sunset concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl to massive art fairs along Cabrillo Boulevard, our coastal city loves to celebrate—and nothing fuels a crowd better than great street food. Best Food Trucks delivers turnkey food truck catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara, replacing old-school tent kitchens with fully self-contained mobile restaurants that simply roll in, open their window, and start serving.
Every truck we book arrives with all required health permits, its own power and water, and a crew that can feed 200 or 20,000 guests on Stearns Wharf, in the Funk Zone, at UCSB, or at your corporate campus in Goleta. That means no extra generators, no long build-outs, and no headache for event planners.

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.

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.....)
