Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set
Rolling cameras at Drake University’s TV studio? Recording a commercial near the Iowa State Capitol? Wherever your crew is working in Des Moines, Best Food Trucks delivers punctual, studio-friendly food truck catering that keeps production on schedule and appetites happy. Our local team designs rotating daily menus that fit the tastes of Midwestern comfort seekers and adventurous eaters alike, all while respecting your budget and union break windows.
From scouting the best service spot in Valley Junction to setting up silent generators for that early-morning shoot in the East Village, we handle every detail. We streamline online ordering and quick, no-contact pickup so your talent and techs are back on set before the director yells “Action!” Plus, we vet every vendor for City of Des Moines permits, insurance, and food-safety certifications, then deliver a clear cost analysis you can hand straight to accounting.
Looking for crowd-pleasing menus? Treat the crew to authentic Mexican flavors from Tacos Degollado, sizzling street-style tacos from Tacos La Barca D.C., or the fan-favorite birria at Ninas Tacos. Need vegan and vegetarian options? Veggie Thumper has you covered with plant-powered bowls that even meat-lovers rave about. And if the night shoot runs long, the late-night crew will love the tortas and quesadillas from Taqueria La Esperanza.
Food truck catering for studios in Des Moines is also an eco-friendly choice—individual portions cut down on buffet waste, and compostable packaging keeps our beloved Raccoon River cleaner. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics so you can focus on lights, camera, and action. Contact us today and discover why so many Des Moines productions trust us to feed the set.
Fueling Des Moines Studios—and Small Businesses, Too
When you reserve studio food truck catering in Des Moines with Best Food Trucks, your craft-services dollars stay right here in the 515. Nearly every truck that rolls up to your set is run by first-generation owners, multitalented families, or DMACC culinary grads turning passion into paychecks. Instead of wiring money to a national catering chain, you’re helping a local entrepreneur cover a commissary lease in Beaverdale, reload at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, and keep their kids in Little League at Ashworth Park.
Food trucks also tread lightly, a big win for eco-conscious productions. One self-contained kitchen uses far less power than a trailer full of Sterno pans, and our vendors serve on compostable ware that keeps Gray’s Lake and the Raccoon River cleaner. By choosing Des Moines studio food truck catering, you feed the crew, boost the local economy, and shrink your carbon footprint—all before the next call sheet drops.

The sandwich was nice and hot and the bread was moist and not hard. The fries were very good and the salt was perfect.

I got the cheesesteak combo. It was pretty good. Fries were a bit too crunchy and overcooked for my liking.

the burger from Badass Burger Buggy was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Even after bringing it home it was still hot which made it taste even better. Nikki's Sweets are always very good and we like trying a new dessert each time.
