Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the packed concourses at Principal Park to the sprawling lawns of Water Works Park during 80/35, the biggest gatherings in Des Moines share one secret: keep the crowd well-fed and the good vibes roll in. Modern food trucks make that easy. Unlike old-school tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, today’s trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens and roll out just as quickly—no mess, no stress.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food truck vendors for festivals, corporate picnics, charity runs, and city-wide celebrations across the metro. That means your attendees can stroll from a sizzling Tacos Degollado al pastor line to the homemade salsa bar at Tacos La Barca D.C., then finish with plant-powered comfort eats from Veggie Thumper—all without you lifting a finger.
Whether you’re expecting 200 fairgoers outside the Iowa Events Center or 20,000 concert fans at the Lauridsen Amphitheater, our network of Des Moines food trucks scales seamlessly. Choose gourmet, grab-and-go, or a mix of both:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that turn any parking lot into Avenida Reforma.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Fresh-griddled tortillas stuffed with slow-braised meats and zesty toppings.
- Ninas Tacos – Crowd-pleasing quesabirria and elote, perfect for late-night festival munchies.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Homemade salsas and carnitas that draw lines longer than the slides at Adventureland.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-based burgers, bowls, and smoothies that even devoted pork-chop-on-a-stick fans love.
Ready to elevate your large-scale event? Tap into Des Moines’ thriving mobile food scene with Best Food Trucks and serve up unforgettable flavor faster than you can say “meet me at the State Fair Sky Glider.”
Skip the Line and Soak Up Your Des Moines Event
Long lines wrapping past the beer garden at Cowles Commons or clogging the midway at the Iowa State Fairgrounds? Not on our watch. Best Food Trucks’ industry-leading online ordering system lets your guests dive into the action—whether that’s cheering on the Iowa Cubs or catching the headliner at Hinterland—while their meal is fired up.
From any smartphone, attendees browse menus from every participating Des Moines food truck, tap to pay, and kick back until a text says, “Your pork belly bao is ready.” No elbow-to-elbow queuing, no missing the opening guitar riff, and absolutely no paper tickets.
Planning an epic turnout at Wells Fargo Arena? Drop a pre-order link in your event email blast and let fans lock in a specific pick-up time before doors even open. Our platform was built for high-frequency, large-scale ordering, so 20,000 taps in five minutes won’t break a sweat.

I always love the taco nachos. This was the first time that we placed an order for the pulled pork Quesadilla. It did not disappoint in any way. It was delicious!!! We love The Nacho wagon!

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.
