Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines

From summer concerts at Water Works Park to movie nights along the Des Moines River, nothing says “Iowa nice” like great food on wheels. Modern food truck catering for events in Des Moines replaces the old-fashioned tent kitchens that needed generators, permits, and hours of setup. A single truck rolls in with a fully self-contained commercial kitchen, parks, and is serving guests in minutes—perfect for corporate picnics at Gray’s Lake, wedding receptions in the East Village, or tailgates outside Principal Park.

Best Food Trucks partners with a fleet of local favorites so you can rent food trucks for events in Des Moines that match any taste or vibe. Craving authentic Mexican street eats? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch your guests line up for fresh-pressed tortillas and sizzling al pastor. Planning a wellness-focused festival near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park? Add Veggie Thumper for plant-powered bowls that even hardcore carnivores rave about.

Whether you need gourmet tacos for 50 or a multi-truck lineup feeding 5,000 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, our Des Moines food truck catering experts handle scheduling, permits, and on-site logistics. You focus on the music, speeches, or fireworks—we’ll make sure every attendee walks away full and happy. Book your food truck catering for events in Des Moines today and turn your gathering into the talk of Polk County.

Conference catering

Skip the Line at Your Des Moines Event

Anyone who’s ever queued for a corn dog at the Iowa State Fair knows Des Moines crowds can get long fast. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests can ditch the line and stay glued to the action—whether that’s a concert at Lauridsen Amphitheater or a Cyclone–Hawkeye watch party downtown. Attendees simply order from their phones, stroll the Midwestern midway, and get a text when their food is hot and ready.

Planning ahead? Send a custom pre-order link so folks can lock in a pickup time before the first guitar riff or kickoff. Fewer lines mean more time for selfies at the “Shattering Silence” monument, lawn games at Cowles Commons, or fireworks over the Capitol dome. Food trucks plus online ordering is the smartest way to serve exceptional eats and keep your Des Moines event running smoother than a John Deere on freshly cut Iowa turf.

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!
