Food Truck Catering for Parties in Des Moines
Putting together a birthday bash in Beaverdale, a graduation party near Drake University, or a surprise soirée in the East Village? Des Moines hosts know that great food can make or break the celebration. Skip the stress of cooking for a crowd or squeezing a traditional caterer into your kitchen. Instead, roll in a local food truck and watch the party come alive. Best Food Trucks is Des Moines’ go-to platform for food truck catering for parties, connecting you with professional, fully licensed mobile kitchens that serve memorable meals—no cleanup, no hassle, just rave reviews from your guests.
From Gray’s Lake picnics to tailgates outside Principal Park, Des Moines loves bold flavors, and our roster delivers. Craving authentic Mexican street eats? Book El Taco Guapo for their signature al pastor, or treat friends to sizzling carne asada from Tacos Degollado. Planning a backyard fiesta on the south side? Tacos La Barca D.C. brings birria that rivals anything at the Iowa State Fair. For late-night nacho plates in the Western Gateway, Ninas Tacos has you covered, while Taqueria La Esperanza draws crowds with their fresh-pressed tortillas and handmade salsas.
With Best Food Trucks handling scheduling, permits, and day-of logistics, you get the city’s best cuisine parked right at your curb. So whether your party playlist features Iowa country or 80’s classics, let Des Moines food truck catering keep the good times—and the tacos—rolling.
Skip the line and enjoy your Des Moines party!
Best Food Trucks brings Des Moines food truck catering into the 21st century with our slick online ordering system. Whether you’re hosting a birthday blowout in Beaverdale, a graduation open house near Drake, or a post-game bash after the Iowa Cubs, your guests can place their orders right from their phones—no standing in a chilly March wind waiting at the window. They’ll get a text the moment their tenderloin sandwich or bacon-wrapped street dog is ready, giving them more time to mingle, hit the bags set, or snap photos with that downtown skyline backdrop.
Want to keep things even smoother? Send out a pre-order link with your invites so friends can choose a pickup time before, during, or after the party kicks off. From Gray’s Lake pavilion picnics to late-night gatherings in the East Village lofts, food truck catering with mobile ordering lets guests stay focused on the fun while you stay free of extra work, cleanup, or “what’s for dinner?” worries. Exceptional eats, zero hassle—that’s how Des Moines parties roll.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.
