Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines

From 80/35 to the Saturday night movie series at Water Works Park, Des Moines knows how to throw a party—and hungry Iowans expect more than popcorn and lemonade. Modern food trucks give your event the same “State Fair” excitement without the hassle of tents, extra permits, or extension cords snaking across the lawn. Each truck pulls up with a fully self-contained kitchen, making setup and breakdown at Principal Park, Western Gateway Park, or your own backyard as easy as turning the key.

Best Food Trucks connects you with a rotating lineup of local favorites so you can mix and match menus the way you would at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Looking for sizzling street tacos, vegan comfort food, or late-night bites for a wedding reception on Court Avenue? Our Des Moines food truck catering service lets you hand-pick the perfect vendors and track them in real time.

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!

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.
