Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Crew
Filming in Des Moines? From soundstages near the Iowa State Fairgrounds to indie sets in the East Village, Best Food Trucks keeps your cast and crew fueled with fresh, on-time meals. We’ve spent years feeding production teams, so we know how to sync service with your call sheet and satisfy even the pickiest Midwestern palate.
Our local account managers build rotating daily menus featuring DSM favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, Taqueria La Esperanza, and the plant-powered Veggie Thumper. Whether you need sunrise breakfast burritos before a dawn shoot at Gray’s Lake or late-night bowls after wrap in the Western Gateway, we’ve got you covered.
We handle everything: scouting the best parking spots around Pappajohn Sculpture Park, verifying permits and insurance with the City of Des Moines, streamlining app-based ordering and pickup, and providing a transparent cost breakdown that fits your budget. Choosing food truck catering also slashes food and packaging waste—good for your production and for keeping the Des Moines River clean.
Let Best Food Trucks remove the stress from mealtime so you can focus on capturing that perfect shot of the Capitol dome. For studio food truck catering in Des Moines, we’re the crew’s favorite call.
Backing Des Moines’ Home-Grown Food Truck Entrepreneurs
Choosing food truck catering for your studio set isn’t just the tastiest option in Des Moines—it’s an investment in our city’s small-business heartbeat. Most DSM trucks are run by solo chefs and family crews who perfected their menus at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or along Ingersoll Avenue before rolling up to film lots. Every breakfast skillet or pork tenderloin sandwich you order keeps dollars circulating from Beaverdale to the South Side and helps our local economy thrive.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft services. Because they cook to order in compact kitchens, trucks draw less power than a pop-up buffet line and cut down on unused pans of food. Many Des Moines vendors even serve in compostable, Iowa-grown corn-based containers, meaning fewer trash bags headed to the Metro Waste landfill and a cleaner Des Moines River.
So the next time your production manager types “studio food truck catering in Des Moines” or “low-budget film catering near me” into a search bar, give Best Food Trucks a call. You’ll feed your cast and crew memorable meals, support the city’s hardest-working mobile restaurateurs, and keep your set sustainable—all in one quick booking.

That they sell single tacos for $4. No make that $5, inflation. So I don't have pay $15 for way more food than I can eat. Please sell the street tacos, 1 or two a la carte. Thank you

Been getting food at this truck a while. I dont like the new packaging they use for the orders. The food quantity felt much smaller than usual and the sauce content was minimal. I cant in good faith give this experience a 5 but I love this truck and have been coming here every time they come by for years while purposely hunting them down at the other places they station at. Still good food I just expected better.

Our burgers and fries were delicious! We don't usually do fast food or food trucks. The food was hot with fresh ingredients on the hamburger. Our fries had a hint of salt which was perfect for us. The staff was also very friendly (even though there was a line). Thank you.

This was my first time booking a food truck for our corporate offsite, and everything was perfect. Food was great, Ruby and staff were punctual and helped keep everything moving along. Would definitely recommend and book again for other future event needs.

!! The crust was crispy, yet still soft and fluffy. The veggies were perfect! Garlic cheesy bread was spot on and the cinnamon bread was the perfect finishing touch. Amazing food truck! Fantastic and friend staff! Would 10/10 recommend!

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.
