Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Santa Barbara

Whether you’re packing the Santa Barbara Bowl, throwing a corporate retreat at the Bacara Resort, or lining State Street for the Summer Solstice Parade, nothing keeps the crowds happy like great food. Today’s large-scale events don’t have time for the old canvas tent and portable grill. Food truck catering brings a full, self-contained commercial kitchen straight to your venue, cutting down on permits, generators, and hours of setup and teardown.

Best Food Trucks partners with the top local trucks in Santa Barbara to give planners more variety than ever before. From Fiesta Old Spanish Days at De la Guerra Plaza to Gaucho game days at UCSB, we can roll in a fleet of trucks that serve hundreds of meals an hour without missing a beat.

Need authentic Mexican staples? Tacos Pipeye and Taqueria Mena sling street-style tacos that rival anything on Milpas Street. Craving something pan-Latin? Maravilla Latin Cuisine plates up bold flavors inspired by kitchens from Buenos Aires to Bogotá. Looking for crispy fried chicken after a surf session at Leadbetter? Yummy Bird has you covered with comfort food and fusion tacos that satisfy meat-lovers and vegans alike. For gourmet twists that wow VIP tents at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, book Gloria’s Gourmet Kitchen.

No matter the size of your guest list, Best Food Trucks coordinates ordering, service windows, and on-site logistics, so you can focus on entertainment, sponsors, and crowd flow. When it comes to food truck catering for large scale events in Santa Barbara, we’re the local experts who keep the line moving and the smiles coming.

Skip the Line at Your Santa Barbara Large-Scale Event

Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering system lets guests keep their eyes on the Pacific instead of a food-truck queue. Whether they’re grooving at the Santa Barbara Bowl, staking out a blanket at Concerts in the Park, or tailgating before a Gauchos night game, attendees scan a QR code, order from any truck on site, and get a text the moment their tri-tip tacos or vegan poke is ready. No lines, no FOMO—just food.

Promoters love it, too. Drop a pre-order link in your ticket confirmation email and fans can schedule pickup times before they even hit Highway 101. Our cloud-based platform is engineered for the crush of large scale events in Santa Barbara—think thousands of orders flowing through Earl Warren Showgrounds or Fiesta Old Spanish Days without a hiccup.

Food truck catering for large scale events in Santa Barbara plus real-time online ordering means quicker service, higher sales, and happier crowds. Less waiting, more dancing, and plenty of time to watch the sun set over the American Riviera.

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.
