Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re packing Water Works Park for the 80/35 Music Festival, feeding thousands after the Des Moines Marathon, or keeping fans happy outside Principal Park, one thing is certain—great food keeps the crowd buzzing. Modern food truck catering brings self-contained commercial kitchens right to your venue, eliminating the headaches that old-school tent vendors caused with extra permits, power drops, and long setup times.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large-scale events across the Des Moines metro. From the Downtown Farmers’ Market on Court Avenue to the Drake Relays block parties, we line up a diverse roster so every attendee finds something delicious. Looking for authentic Mexican street eats? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch those fresh-pressed tortillas fly off the griddle. Need a plant-powered option for the East Village crowd? Veggie Thumper serves up vibrant, locally sourced bowls that even carnivores love.
Partnering with Best Food Trucks means worry-free food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines. We handle scheduling, health department coordination, and on-site logistics so you can focus on music, art, or the big game. If you want your next Iowa State Fair tailgate or company picnic at Gray’s Lake to feel uniquely Des Moines—and taste amazing—let’s roll in the trucks and feed the city.
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Event, Des Moines!
At 80/35, Hinterland, or a Cyclone-Hawkeye watch party on Court Avenue, nobody comes to stand in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform lets your guests order right from their phones, wander back to the stage—or the craft beer tent—and get a text when their pork tenderloin or vegan grain bowl is ready. No bottlenecks, no grumpy crowds, just smooth food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines.
Planning ahead? Send out a pre-order link with the same energy you use to hype the headliner. Fans can choose a pick-up time before gates even open at Water Works Park or the Lauridsen Amphitheater, so your entry lanes stay clear and the party starts on time. Our system is built for high-volume Iowa crowds, effortlessly processing hundreds of orders per minute—even when everyone logs on at intermission.
Food trucks for large-scale events plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals a win-win: attendees stay engaged with your program, and you get rave reviews for short lines and amazing eats. That’s how we keep Des Moines events rolling—and tasting—better than ever.

The jerk chicken taco and vegan carnitas taco were both so good and fresh. The service at the truck was very friendly and quick.

Very kind to warm up my fries at pickup since my coworkers picked it up at late and it was delicious!

Everything was very good as well as fresh. I think the burger could have used more seasoning but that is only a preference and not a negative.

The french fries were good but overly salty. . . The truck arrived an hour & half or more late after we already ordered and paid around 5:30! Customers were not notified of when they were arriving.

The service is consistently incredible and the flavor, fresheness and amount of food was perfect. I was craving tacos for weeks and knew I would be satisfied ordering from Moms Tacos!

Turkey wrap was fresh as well as the pasta salad. Many times the pasta salad is "wilted and soggy" via other venues; NoT the case with Livvi's--everything was perfect, including the hospitality!!

Everything was good. Cranberry's and nuts would have have been great in the chicken salad sandwhich. It was still very good! Loved the pasta salad

Big hit and great workers. The burgers were delicious but they didn't come with fries. Somehow we missed that not being included. It's just always expected - burger and fries. :)
