Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
Nothing powers a crowd in Iowa’s capital city quite like a fleet of sizzling food trucks. From summer concerts at Water Works Park to the Drake Relays or a Saturday takeover of the Downtown Farmers’ Market, Des Moines events demand quick service, huge capacity, and menus that make Hawkeye State guests say “I’ll have seconds.” Modern food trucks deliver exactly that—self-contained commercial kitchens that roll in fully permitted, fire up, and start serving within minutes. No more pop-up tents, temporary wiring, or marathon setup times.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines. Whether you’re feeding 500 soccer fans at Principal Park or 10,000 fair-goers at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, we’ll curate a lineup that keeps lines short and appetites happy. We handle all scheduling, health-department paperwork, and on-site logistics, so you can focus on the stage, the score, or the keynote.
Want authentic Mexican flavor to spice up a corporate picnic? Book Tacos Degollado, famous locally for its al pastor carved right off the trompo. Craving Birria tacos that drip with consommé? Tacos La Barca D.C. has you covered. For late-night festival crowds, Ninas Tacos turns out carne asada and street-corn cups faster than you can say “Downtown DSM.” Add the crowd-pleasing classics from Taqueria La Esperanza, and even the biggest tailgate outside Jack Trice Stadium will be satisfied. Need a plant-forward option? Veggie Thumper dishes up vegan burgers and powerhouse grain bowls that keep Cyclone and Hawkeye fans alike fueled.
No matter the venue or headcount, choosing Best Food Trucks for large event catering in Des Moines means getting a turn-key solution: menu variety, seamless payment options, and proven service speed. Contact us today, and let’s make your next large-scale Des Moines gathering unforgettable—one food truck at a time.
Skip the lines at your Des Moines large-scale event
Whether you’re packing the Iowa Events Center, turning Cowles Commons into a block party, or cheering under the lights at Buccaneer Arena, nobody comes to Des Moines to stand in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform lets guests tap, pay, and play—no waiting required. From any smartphone, attendees can browse your curated lineup of Des Moines food trucks, place an order, and receive a text the moment their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is ready.
Planning a massive crowd? Our system was built for the pace of the Drake Relays: thousands of simultaneous orders, real-time updates, and cashless transactions that keep traffic flowing. Send out a pre-order link with ticket confirmations so vendors know exactly how many smashburgers to sear before the gates at Principal Park even open. Less standing in line means more time for concerts at Water Works Park, keynote speakers at Hy-Vee Hall, or carnival rides at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals happier guests, smoother operations, and higher sales. Give your attendees the freedom to enjoy the event—and still grab the exceptional eats that make DSM gatherings unforgettable.

The food was hot and delicious! Egg rolls were fantastic and first time having the spicy Korean Chicken and it was great. My kids tried to eat all my fried rice so will definitely have to order more next time.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.
