Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Des Moines:

Des Moines' most memorable large-scale events feature not just engaging entertainment but also an extraordinary selection of food. Gone are the days when outdoor events in Des Moines had to rely solely on tent vendors for food service. These setups required additional permits, power, and extensive setup and breakdown times. Today, food trucks have revolutionized event catering in Des Moines, offering full-service kitchens that are completely self-contained. From the vibrant Des Moines Arts Festival to major sporting events at Principal Park, food truck catering services provide diverse options far beyond what traditional tent vendors could offer.

One of the best aspects of food truck vendors is their variety. Whether you're in search of a gourmet dining experience or a casual meal, there's a food truck in Des Moines ready to satisfy the culinary needs of your event attendees. And when it comes to organizing multiple food truck vendors for your large-scale event, Best Food Trucks stands out as the premier caterer in Des Moines.

Take, for example, The Big Red Food Truck, a staple in the Des Moines Metro area. Known for its American bistro cuisine, this food truck has been delighting locals and visitors alike for nearly nine years. It has clinched numerous food truck competitions, made appearances on the Food Network, and most recently, won "Best New Fair Food" at the Iowa State Fair with its sister trailer, The Cluckin' Coop. It's food trucks like these that elevate the dining experience at Des Moines' large-scale events to new heights.

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.

They used a lot of pepper in the rice today. More so than normal. I have been eating their food since they were in the store in Nolensville.
