Food Truck Catering for Santa Barbara Campuses
Few things pair as naturally as Santa Barbara sunshine and a lineup of sizzling food trucks. Whether you’re feeding hungry Gauchos at UCSB, students at Santa Barbara City College, or celebrating Spirit Week at Dos Pueblos High, Best Food Trucks is the local expert in food truck catering for schools in Santa Barbara.
From quick day-to-day lunches on the quad to larger events like alumni weekend or CIF playoff games, our fleet brings variety and convenience directly to your campus. Students and faculty can skip long lines thanks to our best-in-class online ordering platform—order on a phone, grab your meal, and get back to the beach or the books in minutes.
We know every campus has its own vibe and dietary needs, so we curate a diverse roster of Santa Barbara–friendly vendors. Craving authentic tacos after an early-morning surf? Tacos Pipeye and Taqueria Mena have you covered with handmade tortillas and fresh salsas. Looking for Latin comfort food that feels like a fiesta on wheels? Maravilla Latin Cuisine serves up hearty plates that satisfy even the biggest study-session appetite. Need something everyone can agree on—including vegan options? Yummy Bird flies in with crispy fried chicken, fusion tacos, and plant-based bites. And for gourmet twists on classic street tacos, Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen never disappoints.
Best Food Trucks takes care of all scheduling, permitting, and vendor coordination, so your administration can focus on creating memorable events—not paperwork. Bring the taste of Santa Barbara’s favorite food trucks straight to your school and elevate the campus dining experience today.
Matt,
Your team made our UCSB Spring Insight event a smash hit! Students, parents, and even Chancellor Yang were buzzing about the tri-tip sliders and coastal-fresh fish tacos. Best Food Trucks nailed every permit with the City of Goleta and kept the lines short with your online ordering—exactly what we needed during the campus rush. Can’t wait to have you back for Welcome Week on the lagoon lawn!
