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!

Craving donuts 🍩 is always hot n fresh. Logan's is absolutely delicious! The Cuban, pulled pork sandwich, corn and Mac n cheese exceeded our expectations. Keep both of these trucks coming to Talavera.

Probably the best pizza we've had from them...just wish they had cut the pizza into slices (ours was just a round pie) 😄

definitely. Special burger was great, and the onion rings were excellent, especially with the smokey dipping sauce!

My favorite part was the freshness of my meal! The fish was piping hot, perfectly cooked, and the breading was delicious!!! I wish I'd gotten all Nashville Hot because the spices and heat were perfect! I enjoyed the whole meal! I wish I'd gotten a couple more hushpuppies. There was only one, and it was delicious as well. Overall, I'm a fan!

The fish was perfectly cooked. Loved the breading. The salad and pinto beans were also very tasty. The hush puppies were just right. Not so oniony as others have served in sit down restaurants. Would have preferred the fries to be the non crinkle cut style but a minor factor to overall taste of the meal. Will purchase again when opportunity presents itself.
