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.

Best Food Trucks connects planners with fully self-contained mobile kitchens that roll in ready to serve. 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 Mac and cheese is delicious but those ribs were soooo good. The collards were spicy and that was unexpected but the food was overall delicious

I am now a forever fan of Yayo’s - my steak grilled cheese burrito was amazing. Chips and queso YUM! Customer service was 10/10 very friendly folk. Thank you for a great meal!

The quesadilla was a little too wet for my liking. Sour cream on top also made it messy. No chocolate on churros was disappointing. Churros were really good though.

Showed up early. Served almost 70 people, all of whom raced about the food and the guys. Would definitely have them again.

Plan to have the orders ontime. There will always be those who choose to come and order at the truck, but those who order online should be honored and not pushed back because of a hungry crowd. I feel bad for the cook and server who have to keep apologizing for not having an online order ready while they take and fill orders of those who show up unannounced

The sandwich was nice and hot and the bread was moist and not hard. The fries were very good and the salt was perfect.
