Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines

Planning an event in Des Moines—whether it’s a wedding at the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, a corporate picnic in Water Works Park, or a tailgate before the big game at Drake Stadium—gets a whole lot easier when you bring in local food truck catering. Modern food trucks are completely self-contained commercial kitchens, so you skip the old-school tents, extra permits, and long setup times. Just roll up, plug in (or run on their own generators), and start serving hungry Iowans.

Best Food Trucks partners with the most popular mobile kitchens in the metro, giving you the variety your guests expect. Craving authentic Mexican street tacos? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch everyone line up for seconds. Need plant-based fare that even meat-lovers will rave about? Veggie Thumper has you covered with fresh, locally sourced goodness.

From 80/35 Music Festival crowds to Friday night movie screenings at Pappajohn Sculpture Park, food truck catering in Des Moines delivers speed, flavor, and that unmistakable Iowa hospitality. Reserve your trucks today and turn your event into a taste-of-Des Moines experience your guests won’t forget.

Conference catering

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Des Moines Vibe!

Long lines at the Iowa State Fair are a rite of passage—but they don’t belong at your event. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform, guests at your Des Moines wedding, Cyclone-Hawkeye watch party, or East Village block bash can browse menus, pay, and schedule pickup right from their phones. When their pork tenderloin sandwich, vegan “Thumper” bowl, or puppy-chow ice cream is ready, they’ll get a text and stroll up to the truck—no cattle-chute queue required.

Planning a corporate lunch-and-learn downtown or a family reunion at Gray’s Lake? Send out a pre-order link so coworkers and cousins can lock in a pickup time before the first PowerPoint or paddle-board hits the water. Less standing in line means more time for selfies with the Capitol dome, cornhole bragging rights, and catching that golden-hour sky Des Moines is famous for.

Food truck catering + online ordering = the fastest, tastiest way to keep your Des Moines event humming while serving up exceptional eats.

The food was absolutely amazing—the meats were tender and smoky, and every side dish was flavorful. The service team was outstandingly professional, friendly, and efficient, ensuring all our guests were served quickly and with a smile. Most importantly, the entire event went off without a single issue. Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse delivered incredible food and zero stress, making them the absolute highlight of our day!

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!
