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!

The food is amazing! I got caught in traffic so was well behind my pre-order time, the food was still made fresh when I got there. Can’t wait for them to come again!

Quick and tasty. I feel like taste and speed are the most important things for a food truck and they nailed both!

The beef brisket was perfectly smoked, the mac & cheese very saucy. I was surprised that the coleslaw wasn't mixed, but then I thought (great idea).- this way I can remove some sauce to match my taste

This is honestly still one of my favorite food trucks, even though today the thing I was looking forward to most was an I don’t. They did not bring with them. They still did what they could to make it right. I genuinely appreciate them for that

This is my second year ordering Naco Taco! I purchased 12 various tacos. Apparently the Tofu was “Amazing. I ate it in 4 seconds”. “The shrimp was awesome. Get more next year. Better yet, maybe they can come more than once a year” We’re a huge fan of Naco Taco. Two thumbs up.

Plantain, chicken, rice and peas, and wings. My entire order was delicious. I can't wait to eat there again.
