Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a commercial along the banks of the Des Moines River or filming a scene in the historic East Village, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering in Des Moines that keeps cast and crew happy and on schedule. Our local team knows how Iowa weather and tight production timelines can change in a heartbeat, so we build flexible meal plans that fit your call sheet—not the other way around.
From coordinating parking near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park to securing permits on private lots south of Grand Avenue, we handle every detail: rotating daily menus, online ordering and pickup windows, vendor insurance verification, and transparent cost breakdowns that respect your budget. Plus, using food trucks means less single-use packaging and minimal food waste—good for your wrap party and for the planet.
Need local flavor? Treat your crew to carne asada and al pastor from Tacos Degollado, street-style bites from Tacos La Barca D.C., or hand-pressed tortillas from Ninas Tacos. Craving something different? Taqueria La Esperanza brings traditional Mexican comfort food, while plant-powered fans will love the bold bowls at Veggie Thumper. Your production gets Des Moines’ best food trucks, all scheduled and supervised by our on-site catering coordinators.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of studio catering in Des Moines, so you can focus on nailing the next take.
Backing Des Moines’ Home-Grown Talent
Choosing studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just smart for your call sheet—it’s an investment in the 515’s small-business scene. Every truck that rolls up to your set—whether it’s parked near the Drake campus soundstage or outside a Valley Junction warehouse shoot—is owned by a local family or solo entrepreneur who lives, shops, and hires right here in Central Iowa. Your catering dollars stay in the metro, fueling everything from fresh produce at the Downtown Farmers’ Market to after-school programs in Beaverdale.
Food trucks also check the eco-box. Compared with traditional drop-off buffets, mobile kitchens run leaner equipment, cook to order, and slash single-use packaging. Many Des Moines vendors even power their griddles with biodiesel or renewable propane—good news when you’re aiming for a greener production badge.
So the next time “low-budget film catering Des Moines” shows up on your production to-do list, call Best Food Trucks. We’ll line up locally owned rigs that feed your crew, lift the local economy, and keep your carbon footprint as small as an indie film’s budget.

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!
