Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara
From the Old Spanish Days Fiesta on State Street to a sold-out concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, every large gathering on the American Riviera deserves unforgettable food. Modern planners across Goleta, the Mesa, and the Funk Zone have discovered the easiest way to thrill thousands of guests: food truck catering for large scale events in Santa Barbara.
Unlike the old tent kitchens that once clogged Chase Palm Park with generators and permit headaches, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, plug-and-play service, and lightning-fast setup and breakdown. That means less stress for organizers and more time for attendees to soak in those Pacific Ocean sunsets.
Best Food Trucks curates an all-star roster of mobile chefs so you can offer everything from authentic Mexican street tacos to fusion fried chicken—without juggling a dozen phone calls. Need eight trucks for a UCSB homecoming tailgate or fifteen for a beachfront volleyball tournament at East Beach? We handle the scheduling, health permits, and on-site coordination so your focus stays on the music, the merch, and the memories.
Check out a few crowd-pleasers ready to park at your next Santa Barbara event:
- Tacos Pipeye – sizzling carne asada and al pastor served with handmade tortillas that taste like they came straight from Milpas Street.
- Maravilla Latin Cuisine – a celebration of Latin flavors, perfect for Fiesta parades and multicultural festivals.
- Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen – taco artistry that satisfies surfers coming off Leadbetter Beach and executives at Tech-Topia in Goleta alike.
- Yummy Bird – crispy fried chicken and global fusion bites, plus vegan options for the health-minded crowd on the Riviera.
- Taqueria Mena – classic Mexican comfort food that pairs perfectly with a cold craft beer from any Funk Zone brewery.

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)
