Our crew understands the tight turnaround times and exacting standards of on-set dining. We’ll design rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, pinpoint convenient serving spots—whether that’s outside a warehouse near the Iowa State Fairgrounds or beside a soundstage in Historic Valley Junction—and streamline online ordering and pickup so meal breaks never run long.

Fueling Creativity & Des Moines Small Businesses
Every time you park a food truck on set, you’re keeping production dollars right here in Des Moines. Most of the trucks we dispatch are owned by solo chefs from neighborhoods like Beaverdale, Highland Park, and the Historic East Village—folks who shop the Downtown Farmers’ Market at dawn and roll up to your soundstage by lunch. Booking your studio catering through Best Food Trucks means your cast and crew enjoy fresh, Iowa-grown flavors while local families keep their businesses rolling.
Food trucks are also a win for eco-friendly productions. Compared with traditional buffet lines, our rigs sip less energy, use compostable service ware, and generate far fewer trash bags—helping you hit those sustainability goals the next time you film along the Des Moines River or inside a warehouse near the State Fairgrounds. Any safe leftovers are routed to DMARC food pantries instead of the landfill, so nothing goes to waste.
So when “low-budget film catering Des Moines” pops up on your call sheet, reach out to Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up a socially responsible, crowd-pleasing fleet that keeps your production on schedule and your community thriving.

The way orders are made and called out. I was standing at the truck waiting on my order. I got a text that my order was ready. I waited for 10 min, No one called my name. All the while they were passing out other orders. Stepped to the window to ask about my order, got a little bit of attitude from the guy it took him 10 seconds to walk over and get my order. It was obviously waiting for that 10 min.

We get their birria tacos and nachos every time they're here and they're always great! Feels like it's been a while since they've been here, and we've missed them. Order was ready exactly at the time I had asked for.
