Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines

Whether you’re packing Western Gateway Park for the Des Moines Arts Festival, filling the grandstands at Principal Park for an Iowa Cubs game, or hosting thousands of runners during the Drake Relays, your crowd expects two things: great entertainment and unforgettable food. Modern food truck catering delivers both—without the headache of pop-up tents, extra permits, or hours of setup and teardown.

Our curated lineup of Des Moines food trucks can dish out everything from gourmet tacos to plant-based power bowls, keeping long lines moving and guests happy. Large-scale event catering in Des Moines has never been easier.

Looking to add local flavor? Treat your attendees to sizzling al pastor from Tacos Degollado, authentic street-style bites at Tacos La Barca D.C., and handmade tortillas from Ninas Tacos. Craving more variety? Bring in the crowd-pleasing favorites of Taqueria La Esperanza or go plant-forward with the popular Veggie Thumper. With Best Food Trucks coordinating multiple vendors, you can offer a diverse menu that keeps every guest—from the Iowa State Fairgrounds to Water Works Park—coming back for seconds.

From 80/35 Music Festival crowds to corporate picnics along the Des Moines River, let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics while you focus on the fun. Reach out today and discover why we’re the go-to choice for food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

It was perfect. The correct amount of everything! Honestly the best smothered fries I have ever had, hands down.

Nope it was really good. Was not expecting 5 stars so did not give a 5, but beats typical food trucks rated 2 or 3

Fries and shrimp were amazing... however, my crab cake smelled and tasted funny and was s little discolored on the inside.

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!

The crust is thin and crisp just like I like it; the sauce and toppings (veggie) had a good taste and just the right amount.
