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.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Amazing crust, great cheese and pepperoni. Sauce tasted great too, but I would like a bit more on the pizza

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.

Very tasty! The seasoning on the fries has a nice kick to it. Burger was way bigger than I expected and cooked just the way I like it.

Food was ready on time, we are at the workplace and are busy so this is important to us and they were on-point. Online system worked great. Staff were friendly. Food was a little pricy, but not unexpected given it was on-site service. Quality if good was good. Original take on pizza. Was nice to get fresh cooked food at work.
