Food Truck Catering for Parties in Des Moines
Throwing a graduation party near Drake University, a milestone birthday in the East Village, or a backyard Hawkeye watch party in West Des Moines? Locals know that nothing can sink the vibe faster than cold or boring food. Skip the stress—and the dirty dishes—by inviting a Des Moines food truck to roll in and take over the cooking.

Guests order fresh, made-to-order meals right from the window, leaving your home or venue spotless and wide-open for mingling.
Craving authentic street tacos that rival the Iowa State Fair? Book crowd-pleasers like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Need vegan comfort food for that Farmers Market after-party? Veggie Thumper serves plant-powered eats that even carnivores love.

A little confusion of the front end, but overall it turned out great! Eveyone loved the pizzas and Seb was great at making sure everyone had what they wanted - including gluten-free options. Every last slice was eaten. It was awesome.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
