Food Truck Catering for Parties in Des Moines
From a graduation bash in Beaverdale to a birthday blow-out along the banks of Gray’s Lake, planning a party in Des Moines always comes with a long to-do list. Don’t let the food become one more stress point. With Best Food Trucks you can hire a food truck for your party anywhere in the metro—whether it’s the East Village, West Des Moines, or right outside the tailgate lots at Principal Park—and know the meal will be unforgettable.
Traditional in-home caterers take over your kitchen, leave you with dirty pans, and eat up valuable mingling space. Our food truck catering keeps the kitchen outside, serving fresh, hot dishes straight from the truck window while your guests enjoy the entire patio, backyard, or event hall. It’s a turnkey solution that delivers rave-worthy cuisine without the mess or the hassle.
We partner with some of the most popular local trucks in Central Iowa, so your menu can be as unique as your guest list:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic street-style tacos that taste like a Saturday night on Court Avenue.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Famous for their slow-simmered birria that draws lines at the Downtown Farmers’ Market.
- Ninas Tacos – Hand-pressed tortillas and zesty salsas that spice up any Drake Relays watch party.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Carnitas, al pastor, and more—perfect fuel before catching a show at Hoyt Sherman Place.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that keep even your vegan friends cheering “Go Cyclones!”
No matter the occasion—block parties in Sherman Hill, graduation parties near Drake University, or milestone anniversaries in Waukee—Best Food Trucks makes food truck catering in Des Moines simple, delicious, and totally mess-free. Book today and give your guests something to taco ’bout!
Skip the Line and Keep Your Des Moines Party Rolling!
If you’ve ever waited 40 minutes for a pork-chop-on-a-stick at the Iowa State Fair, you know lines can kill a vibe. With Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system, your Des Moines party guests never have to leave the backyard bags tournament or pause a “Sweet Caroline” sing-along just to grab dinner. They simply pull out their phones, choose their meal, and get a text when it’s hot and ready at the truck parked right outside.
Hosting a graduation in Beaverdale or a milestone birthday in West Des Moines? Send a pre-order link with the invite so friends can reserve a pick-up time before they even plug 515 Maple Street into GPS. That means zero lines, zero confusion, and 100% focus on celebrating—whether that’s cheering on the Cyclones, reliving Friday nights at Valley Stadium, or catching the sunset over Gray’s Lake.
Food truck catering with real-time mobile ordering is the easiest way to feed a crowd in Des Moines. No clipboards, no ticket numbers, no extra cleanup—just exceptional eats delivered hassle-free by Best Food Trucks while you keep the party going.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
