Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set!

When your film crew is shooting in the East Village, along Ingersoll Avenue, or out by the historic Salisbury House, you need meals that are fast, flavorful, and flexible. Best Food Trucks has spent years dialing in food truck catering for studio productions in Des Moines, so your cast and crew can enjoy Iowa–fresh ingredients without ever leaving the lot.

We partner with local favorites like El Taco Guapo, Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza to craft rotating daily menus packed with authentic Mexican flavor—perfect fuel before a sunrise shoot on the Des Moines Riverwalk or a late-night wrap in Valley Junction.

Our team will:

Scout the best service spots—whether that’s a downtown sound stage or a suburban back-lot.
Streamline online ordering and quick pick-up so your AD never has to call “Hold for lunch!” twice.
Verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with the City of Des Moines, Polk County, and the Iowa Film Office.
Provide clear cost summaries that keep your production budget on track.

Food truck catering also helps keep the Hawkeye State green—less food waste, minimal packaging, and no single-use buffet pans heading to the landfill.

Let Best Food Trucks remove the mealtime guesswork for your Des Moines studio production. From the first call sheet to the final cut, we’ll keep your crew happy, hydrated, and ready for the next take.

Backing Des Moines’ Own Small Businesses

Every time your production books food truck catering for a studio in Des Moines, you’re doing more than feeding a hungry crew—you’re keeping 515-area entrepreneurs rolling. Most of the trucks that pull up to your set started as family projects in Beaverdale garages or pop-ups at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your lunch order helps those same owners pay staff, buy Iowa-grown sweet corn and pork, and keep Des Moines’ culinary scene fresh for locals and visitors alike.

Food trucks are also an eco-smart win for film and photo shoots. Self-contained kitchens use far less electricity and water than a traditional buffet line, and the compostable servingware we require means fewer trash runs to the Metro Park East Landfill. So the next time your production coordinator Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers great taste, a lighter carbon footprint, and a big boost to the local economy—all in one quick service window.
