Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio
Best Food Trucks has spent years fueling film crews from the Iowa State Capitol to the sound stages tucked away in the East Village. When you book our Des Moines studio food truck catering service, every meal break is timed perfectly with your call sheet and tailored to your team’s tastes. We’ll craft rotating daily menus, identify the smoothest parking spots near your set (think Ingersoll Avenue or the back lot by Principal Park), streamline online ordering and pickup, and make sure each vendor carries the proper City of Des Moines permits and insurance.
Our detailed cost summaries keep producers on budget, while the food-truck format cuts down on the packaging waste that can pile up faster than a stack of storyboards. From early-morning shoots along the Des Moines River to late-night wraps near Drake University, let Best Food Trucks handle the meals so you can stay focused on the shot list.
Craving some local flavor? Check out these crowd-pleasing Des Moines food trucks ready to roll up to your studio gate:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican tacos that bring the spice of South Side DSM to your craft-services table.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Griddle-seared carne asada and fresh salsas that keep crews coming back for second takes.
- Ninas Tacos – Street-style favorites perfect for a quick bite between exterior shots downtown.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Flavor-packed quesadillas and burritos that warm you up on those brisk Iowa mornings.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that even the hard-to-please health nuts in Wardrobe will love.
When it comes to reliable, eco-friendly studio catering in Des Moines, Best Food Trucks is the first name on every producer’s call sheet. Book today and keep your cast and crew running on Iowa-grown deliciousness.
Fueling Your Shoot While Fueling Des Moines Small Businesses
Booking a Des Moines studio food truck isn’t just the easiest way to keep your crew happy—it’s also a direct investment in the metro’s family-run businesses. Nearly every truck that pulls up to your set is owned by a local entrepreneur from neighborhoods like Beaverdale, Highland Park, or Valley Junction, folks who rely on film and TV productions to keep their griddles hot and their dreams alive. Each order sends dollars right back into our community, from the farmers supplying Iowa-grown sweet corn to the mechanics on Hubbell Avenue who keep the rigs road-ready.
Food trucks also check the “green production” box on your call sheet. Compared with traditional craft-services spreads, trucks run on tighter energy footprints, portion food to order (goodbye, half-eaten chafing dishes), and serve with compostable ware approved by Metro Waste Authority. Less waste, fewer generators humming in the background, and more time to grab that golden-hour shot along the Des Moines River.
So the next time you pull out your phone and type “low-budget film catering Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks can line up a fleet of locally owned, eco-friendly vendors faster than you can shout, “Quiet on set!” Book today and give your production—and Des Moines’ small-business scene—the spotlight it deserves.

The pulled pork sandwich, and the baked beans were very good. I had potato salad, too, but it tasted like a bit too much vinegar. I like creamy potato salad and creamy cold slaw. I will eat from the truck, again.

The brisket was just ... perfect. Absolutely perfect. And the mac and cheese was so creamy and well-seasoned. 10/10 recommend.

Everything was amazing except the small-thin metal wire that I had to pull out of my mouth while I was eating. I kept eating it though! It was DELICIOUS

They were fabulous! They showed up early and was ready to serve food as our event started. The food was delicious and fresh! However, I am not sure there were options for rice and beans. I would recommend them!

Flavors and freshness nail it every time! Could be a tad* less salty but honestly that's also part of the appeal. Makes for one hell of an afternoon of trying to stay away lol
