Food Truck Catering for Santa Barbara Fundraisers
From Goleta’s college-town energy to the palm-lined waterfront of the Funk Zone, Santa Barbara locals know how to rally behind a worthy cause. Best Food Trucks makes that support even easier with turnkey fundraiser catering that feels as laid-back as an afternoon on East Beach but runs with the precision of a UCSB lab. Forget chasing down volunteers to man the grill or crossing your fingers that a private chef shows up on time—our vetted fleet rolls in fully stocked and ready to serve.
When you partner with Best Food Trucks, you get more than great food; you get professional logistics that protect the bottom line of your charity event. Our real-time online ordering system keeps the line moving faster than traffic on Cabrillo Boulevard at sunrise, while transparent pricing ensures every donated dollar stretches as far as possible. Spend your evening connecting with donors and snapping photos for the silent auction instead of worrying about cold entrées or missing utensils.
And because this is Santa Barbara, the food has to be spectacular. We work with hometown favorites such as Tacos Pipeye for authentic street-style tacos, the vibrant flavors of Maravilla Latin Cuisine, gourmet tacos from Gloria's Gourmet Kitchen, crispy fried-chicken fusion from Yummy Bird, and the ever-popular Taqueria Mena. Whether your fundraiser is set against the Mission’s historic backdrop or on the bluffs of Shoreline Park, our curated lineup delivers crowd-pleasing menus that keep guests happy and donations flowing.
Leave the cooking to us, focus on your cause, and let Santa Barbara’s best food trucks turn your next fundraiser into the talk of State Street.
Skip the Line and Soak Up Your Santa Barbara Fundraiser
Best Food Trucks brings the same innovation that drives the Funk Zone’s tech start-ups right to your charity event with our seamless online ordering system. Guests can order Birria tacos or lobster rolls from their phone while they mingle under the string lights, then receive a text when their meal is ready—no more shuffling through a slow line like it’s summer on Stearns Wharf. The result? More time for paddle-raises, raffle tickets, and heartfelt speeches.
Need an even smoother flow? Send a pre-order link with your invite and let supporters lock in a specific pickup time before they ever arrive at Elings Park or the Carrillo Recreation Center. Food trucks plus mobile ordering is the ultimate recipe for hassle-free food truck catering for fundraisers in Santa Barbara: exceptional eats, zero extra work for your committee, and a dining experience as breezy as an afternoon along Shoreline Drive.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.
