Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re setting up a company picnic at Gray’s Lake, throwing a graduation party in Beaverdale, or filling bellies at the 80/35 Music Festival, nothing says “Iowa nice” like bringing in local food truck catering for your event in Des Moines. Modern trucks arrive fully licensed, powered, and ready to serve, so you can skip the old-school tent kitchens and the headache of extra permits, generators, and marathon set-up times.
Best Food Trucks partners with some of the most talked-about mobile kitchens in Polk County. Craving authentic street tacos? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch your guests line up faster than traffic on I-235 at rush hour. Need plant-forward options for the Downtown Des Moines workforce? Veggie Thumper has you covered with flavorful vegan and vegetarian plates.
From summer concert series at Water Works Park to Friday night block parties in the East Village, our Des Moines food truck catering service gives you menu flexibility you could never get from a single restaurant. Pick one truck for an intimate backyard wedding or curate a full “truck stop” lineup to handle the lunch rush at a corporate event near the Capitol. Whatever you choose, your attendees will remember the food long after the last corndog at the Iowa State Fair is gone.
Ready to rent food trucks for your next event in Des Moines? Tell us your date, headcount, and venue, and Best Food Trucks will roll in with hot, fresh, and locally loved meals—no tents required.
Order ahead, cheer harder—no lines needed!
Nothing slows the vibe of a Des Moines party like a long concession line. With Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform, Cyclone and Hawkeye fans alike can tap in their order from anywhere on the grounds—whether they’re lounging along the Riverwalk or catching a set at Lauridsen Amphitheater. Guests receive a text the moment their meal is plated, so they can spend more time networking, dancing, or rooting for the Iowa Cubs instead of standing around the truck.
Hosting a luncheon at the Iowa Events Center or a family reunion at Raccoon River Park? Send a pre-order link with your RSVP and let attendees choose a pickup window that fits their schedule. Food trucks plus real-time ordering equals the fastest, most flexible catering solution in Des Moines—one that keeps everyone focused on the festivities while still serving up the city’s best eats.

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!

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!
