Best Food Trucks in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara is truly a special place. If you've never visited this sparkling coastal community a few hours north of Los Angeles, you're missing out. This area features a relaxed pace compared to the city, and some of the prettiest beaches in the entire state. The University of California has an outpost here, and the Montecito area just south of the city continues to draw big money developers and celebrities lining up to build second homes. At midday, State Street awakens as the center of the community, a fun place to stroll, dine and shop. The Farmers Market features amazing produce and wine grown right here in the surrounding fertile soils, Santa Barbara is truly a foodie's paradise! Locally sourced ingredients, prime wines and fresh seafood combine for some truly memorable dining experiences. The Santa Barbara food truck scene here is just ramping up, but here are two of our preferred vendors: Ventura BBQ Co. serves award winning Tri-Tip and Pulled Pork Sandwiches paired with delicious sides, and McConnell's Fine Ice Creams which features Ice Cream that's been made the right way since 1949. Get yourself a double scoop on a warm summer day!

Food was great, thanks. It would have been helpful to have a dedicated window for ordering and another dedicated window for pickup. That's why I rated a 4

To be honest I was kinda skeptical because of how expensive the burger alone seems but the food is totally worth it! Best burger I’ve had in a while! They are thinner patties but all of the flavors work so well together, and the fries are nice and fresh and crispy as well!

Hibachi Jr is my favorite food truck. The food is very consistent. It is always fresh and tastes great and I feel like it’s a good value. It’s not cheap, don’t get me wrong. But I only eat out one day per week, so it’s my splurge. I’ve tried others when Hibachi hasn’t been part of the line up for Street Eats, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality and/or value.

It was made super quickly and was so fresh and delicious. I was late picking it up, but the crab rangoons were still hot and crispy. 10 out 10 recommend and hope to see them again.

. Very uneven spice. No taste or spice on half the dish while other half had little tang, not enough to cover whole dish
