Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set
Whether you’re filming a commercial along the Des Moines River or shooting the next big indie in the historic East Village, Best Food Trucks delivers on-time, studio-friendly catering that keeps cast and crew fueled and happy. Our local team has spent years perfecting food truck catering for studios in Des Moines, so we understand the tight call sheets, ever-changing schedules, and, yes, Iowa’s unpredictable weather.
We start by building rotating daily menus that fit your budget and dietary needs—think sizzling street tacos from Tacos Degollado, authentic Mexican plates from Tacos La Barca D.C., and family-recipe favorites from Ninas Tacos. Need a late-night vegan bite during those overtime shoots at Valley Junction Studios? Veggie Thumper has you covered. Craving classic Iowa comfort with a kick? Taqueria La Esperanza can roll right up to your soundstage.
From scouting the best parking spot on Ingersoll Avenue to vetting every vendor for permits, insurance, and health certifications, we handle all the logistics. Our streamlined online ordering system means your gaffer can grab breakfast burritos while the director queues the next shot, and our real-time pickup alerts keep meal breaks running smoother than a dolly track.
Food truck catering for studios in Des Moines isn’t just convenient—it’s sustainable. Trucks cook to order, reducing food and packaging waste, so your production can stay green while shooting all that cornfield B-roll. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime; you focus on making movie magic, and we’ll keep Des Moines’ finest flavors rolling in.
Fueling Des Moines Studios—and the Local Economy
Every time you book food truck catering for a studio in Des Moines, you’re investing in the city’s creative and culinary heartbeat. Most of the trucks that roll up to sets in Beaverdale, the Historic East Village, or along Fleur Drive are owned by solo chefs, Drake grads with big dreams, or multigenerational family businesses that got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your breakfast burrito or smash burger doesn’t just satisfy the grip department—it keeps rent paid, lights on, and new recipes testing right here in central Iowa.
Choosing food trucks for your Des Moines studio catering is also an eco-friendly win. Trucks cook to order, run efficient kitchens, and partner with local compost services, cutting down on energy use and single-use plastics compared to traditional buffet setups. Many of our vendors even source produce straight from Polk County farms, so fewer food miles and fresher flavors land on your craft-services table.
So, the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops up in your production group chat, remember there’s a socially responsible—and seriously tasty—solution parked just outside. Tap Best Food Trucks, and let Des Moines’ small-business owners keep your cast and crew rolling.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience

Everything was very good. I had the three tacos, shrimp, pork and chicken. Shrimp and pork were very tasty. The chicken was dry and lacking taste. Overall, nice tacos. Great corn shell, very tasty and fresh.

but the cheese sauce on the Philly egg rooms was way to spicy and egg roll itself was blend - could use seasoning or cheese sauce that was better seasons and not just spicy hot but everything else is awesome hot and fresh

The Philly cheesesteak was fabulous and the fries were really good--hot and crispy but not too crispy. Great food!!

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful
