Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From a Saturday tailgate outside Jack Trice Stadium to a packed summer night at the Des Moines Arts Festival, the biggest gatherings in Central Iowa all have one thing in common—fantastic food. Today, event planners across Des Moines are swapping old-school tent kitchens for modern food trucks with self-contained, fully licensed commercial kitchens. No extra generators, no fire-safety headaches—just quick setup, quick breakdown, and nonstop service for crowds of any size.
Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines, and we make it easy to keep everyone fed—from 500 runners at the Dam to Dam race to 5,000 fairgoers at Water Works Park. We’ll curate a lineup that fits your vibe and volume, whether you want hand-pressed burgers, wood-fired pizza, or sizzling street tacos straight off the griddle.
Speaking of tacos, Des Moines is loaded with local legends your attendees already love. Picture a row of brightly wrapped trucks on Court Avenue serving:
- El Taco Guapo dishing up carne asada and house-made salsas
- Tacos Degollado with its famous al pastor carved to order
- Tacos La Barca D.C. offering birria tacos perfect for dipping
- Ninas Tacos serving loaded nachos and street-style elote
- Taqueria La Esperanza rolling out late-night quesabirria for the after-party crowd

You focus on the music, fireworks, or keynote speaker—we’ll handle the kitchen on wheels.

Great flavors, burger was good temperature, and fries were the good kind of crunchy with really good seasonings.

Pot roast po boy was bland. It could use more seasoning. Shrimp po boys and Brussels sprouts were great.

Delicious sauce on the Yakatori chicken and I appreciate the option to choose a green salad instead of Mac salad. Speedy order fulfillment too!

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
