The line usually forms for our chicken tacos. People ask for extra salsa and big tortillas. I keep the menu simple and focused. Tacos, a couple grilled chicken plates, and a few other favorites we know how to run fast. I work the window, I call your name, and I plate things so folks can eat on site without fuss. We do on-site service for events too, if you need someone to show up and feed a crowd. I’m a minority-owned spot. That matters to me, and you’ll see it in how we treat regulars and newcomers the same. The truck is not fancy. It’s loud, it gets busy, and sometimes we run out of the most popular items. Folks come back anyway because they like what we do and how we do it. If you like straightforward Mexican food and quick service, this is the kind of place that fits. I keep things honest, keep the line moving, and make sure people leave with a full plate.

It's not your typical food truck. We specialize in taking classics like BBQ brisket and make an entirely new twist on a sandwich. Same goes for all of our tortas and sandwiches. Combine your sandwich with a variety of fries, mac and cheese, or side salad - the option is yours.

At New Life BBQ, we serve authentic Texas-style barbecue right here in Jurupa Valley.

Customers often praise our generous portions and the quality of our food, comparing it to the best barbecue they've had. Whether you're looking for a hearty plate, a loaded potato, or a savory sandwich, we have something to satisfy your cravings.

Rated by hosts
After every event the host rates the truck. Only trucks booked through Food Truck Club can be reviewed.
- 2
Weighted by volume
A long record counts for more than a handful of reviews, so a few perfect scores do not outrank dozens of great ones.

Ties go to recent work
Trucks with more confirmed bookings in the last 12 months rank higher. Trucks without a review yet come last.
Local know-how
Planning a food truck event in the Inland Empire
The Inland Empire runs from Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga through Riverside and Corona to the Temecula Valley, so give the truck your exact address when you book. Every truck is reviewed and approved by our team before it can take bookings and carries its own health permit and liability insurance.
Summer afternoons inland often pass 100°F, so plan shade and water for guests and consider a morning or evening service window for outdoor events. For typical prices, see the food truck cost guide.
Downtown Riverside and UCR
Civic events, the Mission Inn district and university gatherings; confirm with the venue or campus whether outside food vendors need approval.
Temecula Valley wine country
Winery weddings and private events; wineries set their own vendor rules, so confirm the venue allows an outside food truck before you book.
Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga
Business parks and shopping-center events; confirm with property management where the truck can park.
Warehouse and logistics districts
Distribution centers in Ontario, Fontana, Moreno Valley and Perris host shift-based employee events; confirm gate check-in, any insurance certificate requirement and timing around shift changes.
- How is this list of Riverside food trucks ranked?
By host reviews. After each event booked through Food Truck Club, the host rates the truck. Trucks are ordered by their average rating, weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a truck with a long record is not outranked by one with two reviews.
Ties go to the truck with more confirmed bookings in the last 12 months. Verified Riverside trucks without a review yet are listed after the rated ones, by recent bookings. The list updates hourly.
- What do Riverside's top rated trucks charge per person?
Across bookings on Food Truck Club, the typical price is $18 per person before tax, and the middle half of events land between $14 and $24. The median minimum order is $750; an event for 100 to 149 guests typically totals about $1,950, and one for 200 to 299 guests about $3,120.
These are platform-wide medians, not local figures. Each truck on this list shows its own per-serving price and minimum, so compare those before you book, or see the food truck cost guide for how guest count and cuisine change the total.
- Can I book a specific truck from this list?
Yes. Open the truck's profile, check its menu, per-serving price and minimum, then pick your date and guest count, place the order online and pay. If that truck is not free on your date, choose another or tell us about the event and we'll match you with an available truck. See how it works.
- How do I plan an outdoor Inland Empire event in summer heat?
Schedule service in the morning or evening where you can, give guests shade and water while they wait, and confirm with the venue where the truck can park and run its generator. One truck serves up to about 150 guests, so book two or more for bigger groups to keep lines short in the sun.
