Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
Des Moines knows how to host a crowd—just think of tailgating outside Jack Trice Stadium, the hustle of the Downtown Farmers’ Market, or fireworks at Principal Park. No matter the venue, the quickest way to win over thousands of hungry Iowans is with the convenience and flavor of food truck catering. Modern food trucks arrive as fully self-contained commercial kitchens, eliminating the long set-up times, extra permitting, and power nightmares that old-school tent vendors used to create. Best Food Trucks streamlines the entire process, matching your festival, corporate picnic, or sporting event with the best food truck catering Des Moines has to offer.
Our local line-up delivers variety that keeps the crowd moving and satisfied. Craving authentic street tacos? Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza each roll up with fresh-pressed tortillas and salsas that would feel at home on East Grand Avenue during Fiesta Iowa. Looking for plant-forward options to please Drake Relays athletes and veg-curious fair-goers? Veggie Thumper has you covered with vibrant bowls and wraps.
Whether you’re booking the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, a corporate retreat at Water Works Park, or a charity 5K along Gray’s Lake, Best Food Trucks coordinates multiple service windows, staggered arrival times, and digital ordering to keep lines short and tastes big. Trust the leading caterers for large events in Des Moines to bring reliable power, spotless kitchens, and the kind of Midwest hospitality that turns first-time visitors into lifelong fans.

Skip the Line, Des Moines—Enjoy the Large-Scale Event!
Whether you’re cheering on the Iowa Cubs at Principal Park or dancing the night away at 80/35, long concession lines can kill the vibe. Best Food Trucks brings Des Moines’ favorite food truck catering for large-scale events into the 21st century with our cutting-edge online ordering platform. Guests pull out their phones, tap their favorite truck, and get a text when their tenderloin or pineapple pork taco is hot and ready—no standing in a winding queue that blocks the bike path along the Des Moines River.
Planning a corporate outing at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center? Send out a pre-order link so employees can lock in a pickup window before the keynote even starts. Hosting a marathon finish festival at Water Works Park? Our system throttles high-frequency orders effortlessly, keeping hungry runners fueled without clogging pathways.

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

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.
