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.
Every vendor we bring on site carries up-to-date Polk County health permits and full insurance, and we send you a clear cost summary that fits your production budget.

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.

Our burgers and fries were delicious! We don't usually do fast food or food trucks. The food was hot with fresh ingredients on the hamburger. Our fries had a hint of salt which was perfect for us. The staff was also very friendly (even though there was a line). Thank you.

This was my first time booking a food truck for our corporate offsite, and everything was perfect. Food was great, Ruby and staff were punctual and helped keep everything moving along. Would definitely recommend and book again for other future event needs.

!! The crust was crispy, yet still soft and fluffy. The veggies were perfect! Garlic cheesy bread was spot on and the cinnamon bread was the perfect finishing touch. Amazing food truck! Fantastic and friend staff! Would 10/10 recommend!

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.

We choose Good Hombres to cater a retirement party at our business, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They arrived right on time to set up and were ready to serve exactly when planned. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous—no one left hungry! The staff was incredibly friendly and kept the line moving quickly, so everyone was served without long waits. We chose a package that included an entrée, side, and drink for each guest, and it was well worth it. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. Our guests loved the unique idea of having a food truck, and it really added something special to the event. Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or corporate event!

- the side of salsa was only half full so not enough for 4 pieces of quesadilla; side of sour cream may have been fat-free as it wasn't as flavorful as regular sour cream.
