Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From concerts at Water Works Park to tailgates outside Jack Trice Stadium and summer nights at Principal Park, Des Moines knows how to throw a crowd-pleasing party. Local planners have discovered that the easiest way to keep thousands of Iowans happy is by rolling in food truck catering for large-scale events. Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, today’s food trucks arrive with fully self-contained commercial kitchens and head out as soon as the last tenderloin or taco is served.
Booking through Best Food Trucks means your guests get real variety instead of the same corn dog line stretching down the midway. Craving authentic Mexican street food? We can park Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza next to the live music stage for nonstop tacos al pastor and sizzling quesadillas. Want a plant-forward option for the Downtown Farmers’ Market crowd? Veggie Thumper plates up mouth-watering vegan bowls that even die-hard Cyclone fans rave about.
Whether you’re coordinating a festival on Court Avenue, a corporate picnic at Gray’s Lake, or a 20,000-person day at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Best Food Trucks handles every detail—permits, health inspections, menu curation, POS, and guest flow—so you can focus on the stage schedule instead of the food lines. Give your next Des Moines large-scale event the flavor it deserves with the city’s best food truck catering, all organized through one easy point of contact.
Skip the line and enjoy your Des Moines large-scale event!
Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your crowd spend more time cheering on the Bulldogs at the Drake Relays or singing along at 80/35 and zero time standing in a food line. Guests simply scan a QR code, place an order from their phone, and get a text when their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is hot and ready. No more weaving through queues on Court Avenue or missing a homer at Principal Park just to grab lunch.
Planning a huge turnout at the Iowa State Fairgrounds or a riverside bash at Lauridsen Amphitheater? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can lock in a pick-up window before the gates even open. Our system is built for high-frequency ordering, so whether 500 or 25,000 guests tap “order,” every ticket is routed to the right truck without a hitch.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines plus our mobile ordering platform equals smoother lines, happier guests, and more time to enjoy the things that make the Metro great. Let Best Food Trucks handle the bites while you handle the spotlight.

Absolutely incredible. Fresh delicious and the sauces provided were great. The green one is not for the faint of heart

Love the popper. I liked how the jalapeño is within a tortilla so the filling doesn't spill out. Your tortillas are excellent.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

My favorite part? Every part of it! The food was delicious! Food was made to order, ready when I requested, and served with the utmost professionalism. I was not expecting as large of a serving size. It was absolutely worth every penny!

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.

Food is delicious. However my order was messed up tonight :(. Asked for extra chicken but they dumped shrimp all over the rice instead. Couldn’t eat it
