Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines

Whether your crowd is gathering along the Des Moines River for the 80/35 Music Festival, tailgating outside Jack Trice Stadium, or hosting a company picnic at Gray’s Lake Park, nothing pulls an Iowa crowd together like great eats on wheels. Best Food Trucks makes food truck catering in Des Moines effortless by bringing fully licensed, self-contained kitchens straight to your venue—no extra permits, generators, or pop-up tents required.

From the East Village to the Jordan Creek corporate campuses, event organizers love the flexibility that food trucks provide. Guests can stroll the grounds, enjoy live music, snap selfies with the Pappajohn Sculpture Park skyline in the background, and still grab a hot meal without ever waiting in a buffet line. That freedom keeps lines short and smiles wide, ensuring your “Event in Des Moines” becomes the talk of Polk County.

Best Food Trucks partners with a mouth-watering lineup of local favorites, so you can mix and match cuisines that fit your theme and your budget. Craving authentic street tacos? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza for fresh-pressed tortillas and salsas that rival anything on Ingersoll Avenue. Need a plant-powered option for your downtown tech meetup? Veggie Thumper will thump out vegan comfort food that even die-hard carnivores in Des Moines rave about.

So skip the old-school tent kitchens and let our curated fleet roll in. With Best Food Trucks handling logistics, permits, and preorder links, you’re free to focus on the music, the speeches, or the fireworks over Principal Park. Reach out today and discover why food truck catering for events in Des Moines is the easiest—and tastiest—way to wow your guests.

Skip the Line, Des Moines—Keep Your Event Rolling!

Nothing kills Iowa good vibes faster than a long food line. That’s why Best Food Trucks brings Des Moines events a tap-and-text ordering system that lets guests chow down without missing a minute of music, speeches, or Cyclone smack-talk. From the art walk at Mainframe Studios to a Saturday wedding reception in the Historic East Village, attendees simply pull out their phones, choose their favorite truck, and get a text when their tenderloin or vegan mac is ready. No crowded queues, no paper tickets—just more time to enjoy your “Event in Des Moines.”

Planning ahead? Drop a pre-order link in your company Slack or the neighborhood Facebook group and let guests schedule a pick-up slot before they even park at Gray’s Lake or Water Works Park. When the truck window slides open right on time, you’ll look like an event-planning wizard—while we handle the kitchen logistics. Food truck catering with online ordering is the fastest, tastiest way to keep Des Moines attendees focused on fun and fueled with local flavor.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!
