Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines
Planning an event in Des Moines? Whether you’re hosting a concert at Water Works Park, a company picnic at Gray’s Lake, or a graduation party near Drake University, nothing delights guests quite like local food trucks. Best Food Trucks connects you with fully licensed, self-contained mobile kitchens that roll in ready to serve and roll out without the mess. No extra generators, no pop-up tents, and no long teardown times—just fresh food and happy Iowans.
The Des Moines food truck scene is as vibrant as the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Craving authentic Mexican street fare? Treat your crowd to sizzling tacos from Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Prefer plant-powered plates for a yoga retreat at Pappajohn Sculpture Park? Book the wholesome goodness of Veggie Thumper. From gourmet to casual, our curated fleet guarantees the perfect food truck catering for events in Des Moines.
Best Food Trucks handles scheduling, permits, and point-of-sale, so you can focus on the music, the speeches, or cheering on the Iowa Cubs at Principal Park. Reserve a single truck or create a mini food-truck park—the choice is yours. Either way, your guests enjoy shorter lines, more menu choices, and that signature Midwest hospitality on wheels. Make your next event unforgettable with food truck catering in Des Moines today!
Order Ahead, Des Moines—Skip the Line!
Everyone in Des Moines knows the only thing longer than a Midwest winter is the line for a pork-chop-on-a-stick at the Iowa State Fair. With Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system, you won’t have that problem at your event. Guests simply scan a QR code, place their order from their phones, and get a text when the food truck has their meal hot and ready. No standing around, no missing the headliner at Wooly’s, and no juggling cash in the wind that whips off the Des Moines River.
Planning a 5K at Gray’s Lake or a conference at Hy-Vee Hall? Send a pre-order link in advance so attendees can choose a pickup time before they even park the car. Our platform keeps the focus on keynote speeches, yoga stretches, or first-pitch selfies at Principal Park—while still delivering Des Moines’ best food truck catering straight from the kitchen window to your guests’ hands.
Food trucks plus online ordering equals happier Iowans, smoother schedules, and events that trend for all the right reasons. Book your Des Moines food truck catering with Best Food Trucks and let the only waiting your crowd does be for the encore.

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.

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.

Eric with S'more Love was so phenomenal! Not only was the desserts amazing, but so was the service provided. We were so pleased with the food truck and I am anxiously looking to see when we can book them again! Thank you for coming out to our event!

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.
