"The food truck event at our Santa Barbara hospital was a hit! The variety of gourmet options from local Santa Barbara food trucks like the famous 'Beachside Bites' for fresh seafood, and 'Mountain View Tacos' for authentic Mexican cuisine, was impressive. The dessert truck, especially 'Sweet Santa Barbara Treats', was the cherry on top. Working with Best Food Trucks made the planning process seamless and stress-free. Our staff and visitors couldn't stop raving about the food!"

First, we would like to thank Sarah's Triple S for vending at our event. The owners were welcoming and pleasant. The following are quotes from those staff that chose to eat from Sarah's Triple S truck: "Worth the wait!" "First time having a Smashburger and it didn't disappoint," "We wish there was a faster way to get our order, but we also understand that when the food is made fresh it takes a longer period of time," "We should order this truck again, just don't have so many people waiting to get their order," "I waited nearly an hour to get my order," "Fries and even the cheese fries were great" "Maybe there should be two-three cooks so food can come out faster." "I wish I didn't order from the other truck, everyone's burgers looked amazing!"
