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!

We hired Uptown Food Truck for a private party with 60-70 attendees. Everyone loved the food choices and high quality. Chef Chris and team did a fabulous job. We had four selections and all were excellent: Bacon cheese burger, grilled chicken sandwich, shrimp and grits, and chicken and waffles. We highly recommend Uptown Food Truck.

Chicas Birria was fantastic! Showed up on time, set up quickly and served our guests efficiently and effectively. The food was delicious! The Birria QuesaTacos were incredible and were served with dipping sauce. The Churros were a big hit, too! Our guests raved about the food.

Everything was perfect. Grilled to perfection, on a toasted bun, with very fresh produce on it. It wasn't greasy at all, and the fries were absolutely on point and delicious. My best friend and I split a burger and large fries and it was the perfect amount for both of us!!
