Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set

When a production is rolling at Prairie Meadows, the East Village, or any of the sound stages sprouting up around Central Iowa, you don’t have time to worry about lunch. Best Food Trucks brings years of studio food truck catering in Des Moines directly to your cast and crew, so your only cliff-hanger is the script. We’ll create rotating daily menus featuring local favorites like Tacos Degollado, the always-popular Tacos La Barca D.C., and plant-forward powerhouse Veggie Thumper.

Our experienced team scouts the best serving locations on your lot or remote set, coordinates staggered pickup times to keep the crew on schedule, and vets every vendor for health permits and insurance—no surprises when the cameras roll. From early-morning call sheets to midnight wrap, meals are ready exactly when you need them.

Looking for even more variety? We’ll line up crowd-pleasers like Ninas Tacos and the legendary Taqueria La Esperanza to keep taste buds guessing. You’ll receive a clear cost summary and sustainability report, so you can track your budget while reducing food and packaging waste—something every Iowan can appreciate.

Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of film crew catering in Des Moines. Your production focuses on the next scene; we’ll handle the next meal.

Supporting Des Moines Small Businesses

Every time a food truck rolls onto your set at the old Meredith studios or a warehouse off Ingersoll Avenue, you’re putting real dollars into the pockets of Des Moines entrepreneurs. These rigs are family-run operations from neighborhoods like Beaverdale, the South Side, and even the Drake campus area. By booking them for your production, you’re doing more than feeding a hungry crew—you’re keeping our local culinary scene thriving and unique.

Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly choice for studio food truck catering in Des Moines. Mobile kitchens use far less energy than traditional off-site commissaries, and our vendors serve with compostables that meet the standards of the Metro Waste Authority. Less generator time, less packaging, and fewer car trips to grab lunch on Locust Street mean a lighter footprint on the banks of the Des Moines River.

So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget Des Moines film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks can deliver affordable, locally sourced meals that make both your accountant and Mother Nature smile. Hit us up, and we’ll show you the most socially responsible—and delicious—way to keep the cameras, and the crew, rolling.
