Welcome to our fire…we are so happy that you have found us…
Cowboy Flavor is a premier onsite BBQ Catering Company. We are located on the Central Coast of California between Santa Maria and the Santa Ynez Valley, where wine country mingles with the rolling hills of our beautiful ranch land. We travel through out California and across this Great Nation to cater for many special occasions…that is why our equipment has wheels!
We have been lucky enough to live and enjoy entertaining in the true Western lifestyle on the ranches of the Pacific Slope, steeped deeply in the Vaquero Tradition as well as the Spanish culture of Santa Barbara. We are proud to use some of our family's recipes dating back to their arrival in California with the De Anza Ride. Santa Maria Style/Traditional Ranch BBQ and California Simpatico, a romantic blend of the Spanish and Hacienda cuisine of the great California Ranchos and Southwest influence are what we specialize in…and much more. In addition to our contemporary style, we also offer a unique look into the past as the Chuck Wagons and pioneers followed cow trails and trails West cooking on the ground in iron pots called Dutch Ovens.
