From the sun-soaked concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl to the bustling energy of Old Spanish Days Fiesta on State Street, every legendary gathering in our town has two things in common: world-class scenery and unforgettable eats. Modern event planners are swapping the old-fashioned tent kitchens for Santa Barbara food truck catering, and it’s easy to see why. A fully self-contained food truck rolls up, powers on, and starts cooking—no extra permits, no miles of extension cords, and no dawn-to-dusk setup crews.

They forgot one order of fries The young lady asked my name when I got to the truck so I gave her my LAST name. Apparently she wanted my FIRST name. I wish she had clarified that for me Our order was scheduled for 6:30. I got it at 6:44. Not terrible but a notification would have been nice

Had a little bit of a difficult time telling which taco was which without picking through the tacos to see what meat it was. Offer diet sodas or more variety. They need chips and salsa!
