Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
When Des Moines throws a party—whether it’s the Des Moines Arts Festival on the Western Gateway, a jam-packed Saturday at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, or tailgating outside a big game at Drake Stadium—locals expect two things: Midwest hospitality and incredible food. Best Food Trucks delivers both with turnkey food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines. Our vetted fleet rolls in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, eliminating the headaches of old-school tent vendors, extra permits, and messy generator setups.
From the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds to a corporate picnic at Gray’s Lake Park, we can stage multiple trucks to keep the lines short and the crowds happy. Guests can stroll up to a truck window, order in seconds, and get back to the music, art, or game without missing a beat. That flexibility is why event planners across Polk County choose Best Food Trucks for large event catering in Des Moines.
Looking for crave-worthy menus that shout “Des Moines”? Check out some of our local favorites:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that pair perfectly with a cold craft brew from Court Avenue.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Famous for their al pastor carved right off the trompo—ideal fuel for a night at 80/35 Music Festival.
- Ninas Tacos – Hand-pressed tortillas and zesty salsas that turn any RAGBRAI stop into a fiesta.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Crowd-pleasing burritos big enough for hungry Cyclone and Hawkeye fans alike.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-based comfort food that even the most devoted meat-lover at Principal Park will rave about.

Order was done earlier than scheduled, food was delicious, we had them take tots off the order and they reimbursed us for the tots on both orders. This is our fav food truck! Nicely done, we will be back!

The macaroni and cheese was cooked perfectly, the cheese had a great flavor, and the bacon was nice and crispy. There was a great amount of bacon for the topping, and I felt like the portion of macaroni and cheese was decent. I will definitely order from this food truck the next time I want to try the brisket.

Fave part: All of it! The whole experience. The aroma hits first as I walk towards the truck & trailer. Smells SO good! The staff is next - they are professional & courteous. The pizza is simply delicious. Best pizza I have had. All the flavors and ingredients are balanced. Perfect!
