Food Truck Catering for Santa Barbara Schools
From the bluffs of UC Santa Barbara to the hilltop campus of Santa Barbara City College—and every elementary, middle, and high school in between—Santa Barbara knows how to mix books with a good bite. Nothing fuels a study session or a Gaucho soccer match quite like a lineup of local food trucks. Best Food Trucks brings top-tier food truck catering for schools in Santa Barbara right to your quad, gym parking lot, or athletic field, so students and faculty can grab great eats without ever leaving campus.
Our easy online ordering platform eliminates the lunchtime shuffle on Pardall Road and the long lines you’d normally see outside the cafeteria. Students simply order on their phones, pick a convenient time slot, and stroll up to their chosen truck—no cash, no chaos, just fresh food fast. Whether you’re planning a UCSB alumni weekend, an SBCC club fair, or a Friday night football game at San Marcos High, we curate the perfect roster of food trucks to meet every dietary need, from vegan to gluten-free.
Because Santa Barbara tastes as diverse as its coastline, we partner with local favorites such as Tacos Pipeye for authentic Mexican street tacos, Maravilla Latin Cuisine for Latin comfort classics, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen when you need next-level taco creations, the Asian-inspired flavors of DELETE, and crispy fried-chicken fusion from Yummy Bird. With this mix, your campus guests can savor everything from birria to Korean-style tenders without ever hopping on the 101.
Let Best Food Trucks handle the scheduling, permitting, and vendor coordination while you focus on academics and school spirit. When it comes to food truck catering for school events in Santa Barbara, we deliver more than meals—we deliver an experience students will rave about from Isla Vista to the Riviera.
Matt,
Your team knocked it out of the park again this year. From UCSB’s Move-In Week on the Lagoon Lawn to the Dos Pueblos High senior picnic, Best Food Trucks made our food truck catering in Santa Barbara seamless, tasty, and stress-free. Thanks for always having our backs!
