About New Life BBQ

At New Life BBQ, we serve authentic Texas-style barbecue right here in Jurupa Valley. Our menu features brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and sausage, all seasoned simply with salt and pepper, then slow-smoked over Texas Post Oak wood. This method lets the natural flavors of our meats shine through. Our sides include mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, Mexican sweet corn, and cornbread. 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. We also offer catering services for various events, bringing our flavorful barbecue to your special occasions.

Noe Farias

Owner, New Life BBQ

I walked out of chemo in 2018 and knew I had to do something different, I started teaching myself to smoke meat while I healed and it stuck. I opened the truck in 2021 and spent a lot of the early days running to hospitals and office parks, trying to figure out how to feed a crowd and still sleep a little. These days I run out of a commissary in Jurupa Valley and you’ll often find me parked at Riverside Community Hospital on the late shift, feeding staff after long days. I handle the cooking and the bookings myself, I like showing up to events and seeing folks relax when the smoke hits the air. This business saved me more ways than one, and I keep going because that work matters to me and to the people I get to feed.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Riverside, so booking early gives you the best selection.

What does New Life BBQ serve?
New Life BBQ serves BBQ and American.Popular menu items include Brisket, Chicken and Ox Tail.Most servings run about $18 before tax.The full menu with current prices is above.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, New Life BBQ has a minimum order of $625, which works out to roughly 35 servings at this menu's prices. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider the attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your quote from New Life BBQ includes food preparation, serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), the truck's staff, and setup and breakdown. Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is; the truck will let you know if one applies. The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book New Life BBQ?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Riverside book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does New Life BBQ cater?
New Life BBQ is new to Food Truck Club, so there are no platform bookings to show yet. Corporate lunches, employee appreciation days, community festivals, school and university events, and private celebrations around Riverside are all bookable from this page.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
New Life BBQ hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and New Life BBQ will confirm any hookups before the event.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
