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 of New Life BBQ

Meet The Owner, Noe Farias

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

How far in advance should I book the food truck?
We recommend booking New Life BBQ at least 2-4 weeks before your event date. Food trucks in Riverside book quickly during peak seasons (Spring and Fall), so earlier is always better. For large corporate events with 100+ guests, 30 days advance notice ensures menu availability and proper staffing.
What types of events do you cater?
New Life BBQ caters corporate lunches, office parties, employee appreciation events, team building gatherings, company picnics, community festivals, university events, government functions, holiday parties, and private celebrations throughout Riverside and surrounding areas.
Is there a minimum order or guest count?
Yes, New Life BBQ has a minimum order of $625.00. This minimum covers essential costs including food preparation, staffing, travel to your Riverside location, and setup time. For smaller gatherings, consider our attendee-pay option where guests purchase their own meals.
What is included in the catering price?
Your catering quote from New Life BBQ includes fresh food preparation, all serving supplies (plates, utensils, napkins), professional staff, setup and breakdown, and travel within the Riverside service area. Pricing is transparent with no hidden fees—you'll see the complete cost including taxes before confirming your booking.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
No utilities required. New Life BBQ is completely self-sufficient with onboard generators, water tanks, and cooking equipment. Simply provide a flat, accessible parking spot (approximately 12x30 feet) and we handle everything else. This makes food truck catering ideal for outdoor venues, parking lots, parks, and locations without kitchen facilities.
What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
We always try our best to work with you (and the truck) the best we can. Rescheduling is the best option when weather hits but our cancellation policy is outlined above.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
We always try to cater to the customer's needs. Please reach out with specific dietary requests and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
Are there allergy-conscious meals available?
Yes, we accommodate allergy needs whenever possible. Please reach out with specific requirements and we'll work with you to ensure safe meal options for all guests.
