Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines

Whether your event is lighting up Western Gateway Park, tailgating outside Jack Trice Stadium, or adding flavor to a wedding reception along the banks of the Des Moines River, great food is non-negotiable. Today, the easiest way to wow hungry Iowans is to invite a fleet of Des Moines food trucks. Unlike the old-school pop-up tents that needed extra permits, power drops, and hours of setup, modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. That means faster service, shorter lines, and more time for guests to enjoy the live band or the big game.

Food truck catering for events in Des Moines also delivers the menu variety our city craves. Picture a block party in Beaverdale: some guests want sizzling El Taco Guapo street tacos loaded with fresh cilantro, while others are in the mood for the legendary birria from Tacos Degollado. Maybe your corporate picnic at Gray’s Lake could use the al pastor specialty of Tacos La Barca D.C., the handmade tortillas from Ninas Tacos, or the carne asada fries that keep Taqueria La Esperanza fans lining up every Saturday morning at the Downtown Farmers’ Market.

From outdoor movie nights at Water Works Park to Polk County fairground concerts, renting food trucks for events in Des Moines unlocks menus that range from gourmet fusion to casual comfort food—all without the headache of traditional catering. The trucks park, pop open the windows, and start serving in minutes, giving you a turnkey solution that scales from 50 guests to 5,000 Cyclone fans.

If you’re planning an event in the 515 and want to keep guests talking long after the last chorus or toast, book Des Moines food truck catering today. Your attendees get fresh, hot meals made to order, and you get a streamlined, crowd-pleasing solution that tastes like victory—Hawkeye or Cyclone, we can all agree on that.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)
