Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Shoot
From fast-moving indie sets in the East Village to national commercials filming along the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting studio food truck catering in Des Moines. We’ll coordinate rotating daily menus that keep your cast and crew energized, pinpoint the easiest parking spots near your soundstage—whether that’s at Iowa PBS in Johnston or a converted warehouse in Valley Junction—and streamline online ordering so meals are ready the moment the director calls “break.”
Our local vendor team carries full permits and insurance, and we provide a clear cost analysis that fits within the tightest production budgets. Because food trucks prep to order, you’ll see far less food and packaging waste—an easy win for eco-friendly shoots. Let Best Food Trucks remove the mealtime guesswork so you can focus on getting the perfect take.
Check out some crowd-pleasing Des Moines favorites ready to roll up to your studio:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that keep the crew coming back for seconds.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Famous for their sizzling al pastor and homemade salsas.
- Ninas Tacos – Fresh-pressed tortillas and bold Midwest-Mex flavors.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Hearty burritos and quesadillas perfect for late-night shoots.

Fueling Des Moines Studios and Small Businesses Alike
Booking a food truck for your shoot at Copper Creek Studios or that pop-up set in the Historic East Village does more than keep the call sheet on schedule—it keeps the Des Moines small-business engine running. Every truck we send is owned by a local family who probably started at the Downtown Farmers’ Market and still shops daily at Capital City Fruit or the Valley Junction farmers’ stands. When you choose studio food truck catering in Des Moines, your budget goes straight back into the community, supporting Iowa growers, bakers, and butchers.
Food trucks are also a sustainability win. Their self-contained kitchens draw far less power than a traditional buffet tent, and our partners serve with compostable plates that won’t clog up the Metro Waste landfill off Vandalia Road. Several rigs even run on biodiesel pressed from Iowa-grown soybeans—talk about locally sourced fuel!
So, the next time you’re searching “affordable film set catering Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers more than hot meals. We deliver a socially responsible, eco-friendly way to keep your cast and crew happy while lifting up the very city that makes your production possible.

I wish there was another slice of tomato on my loaded grilled cheese, it was a lot of bread. The kale salad was very tasty. Thanks

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes
