Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio—Ready When the Director Says “Cut!”
Whether you’re shooting a commercial on Court Avenue, filming interviews in the East Village, or editing B-roll at Valley Junction Studios, Best Food Trucks delivers the most reliable food truck catering for studios in Des Moines. Our crew feeds your crew—fast, fresh and exactly when the call sheet says it’s time to break.
We’ll craft rotating daily menus that energize talent and techs alike, pinpoint the best service locations around your set, streamline online ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for current DSM permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis that keeps your production on budget while keeping everyone happily fed.
Showcase hometown flavor with Des Moines favorites: street-style tacos from Tacos Degollado, slow-simmered birria from Tacos La Barca D.C., or crave-worthy queso from Ninas Tacos. Need a late-night wrap party snack? Taqueria La Esperanza parks right outside the studio with al pastor carved to order. And for the plant-based stars on set, Veggie Thumper thumps out vibrant vegan bowls that even the omnivores love.
Choosing food truck catering for your Des Moines studio means less packaging waste, reduced food waste, and more satisfied cast and crew. Let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can stay laser-focused on getting the perfect shot—because in DSM, the show (and the food) must go on.
Fueling Your Shoot & Des Moines’ Small-Business Scene
Booking food truck catering for your studio set in Des Moines does more than quiet growling stomachs—it pours money right back into our city’s independent economy. Every truck that rolls up outside Drake Digital Media Center or the soundstage near Gray’s Lake is owned by a local family, a Valley High alum with a dream, or a chef who cut their teeth at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Instead of generic boxed lunches shipped from out of state, you’re feeding cast and crew with dishes prepared steps from where they’ll be eaten—keeping dollars circulating from Highland Park to the Historic East Village.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly pivot from traditional craft-service buffets. The kitchen is built into the vehicle, so there’s no need for power-guzzling warming cabinets or disposable hotel pans. Many Des Moines operators run high-efficiency propane, offer compostable cutlery in line with the city’s “Bring Your Own Bag” ordinance, and prep to-order portions that slash food waste between takes.
So when your PA types “low budget film catering near me” into a phone, tell them to call Best Food Trucks instead. You’ll get crowd-pleasing eats on schedule, shrink your production’s carbon footprint, and give a standing ovation to the home-grown businesses that make Des Moines taste like nowhere else.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

The bottom bun where the meat was put on top of was completely mush. Had to just eat it with a fork but it was very tasty!

Food was pretty good. People seemed to like the BBQ nachos. The wait time was a little long.

Michael was fantastic! He was on time, his set up was easy and clean, and he was hilarious (all our guests loved him!). The food was great and there were plenty of choices, so something for everyone's taste (I had guests who were both gluten and dairy free, so this was great!). The portion sizes were also very generous, no one left hungry! Highly recommend!

Portions were back to normal and the food was so good this time around. Been a while since I last got food at the truck but I try to get them every time I come around. Last time disappointed me a tiny bit but this time they blew it out the park. Thank you so much, look forward to the truck coming back on the 14th!

The Pancit plate online says it comes with "Meat of the day" but it didn't come with any meat. Lumpias were terrific.

Chicken tacos were great! Was missing the aioli on the side. Food was ready 25 minutes after promised time.
