Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the buzzing Des Moines Arts Festival downtown to sold-out Cyclone watch parties at the Iowa Events Center, the Capital City knows how to gather a crowd—and nothing keeps those crowds happier than a fleet of local food trucks fired up and ready to serve. Best Food Trucks takes the headache out of feeding thousands by rolling in fully self-contained mobile kitchens that eliminate the need for pop-up tents, extra permits, or hours of setup and teardown. When you book Des Moines food truck catering with us, you get speed, variety, and that unmistakable Midwestern hospitality all in one bite.
Large scale event catering in Des Moines should taste like Des Moines. That’s why we partner with beloved local trucks such as the sizzling al pastor specialists at Tacos Degollado, the Mexico-City-style street eats of Tacos La Barca D.C., and fan-favorite Ninas Tacos, famous at Valley Junction on Thursday nights. Craving a late-night carne asada or vegan soul food that even the Farmers Market crowd will line up for? We’ll roll in Taqueria La Esperanza and plant-powered pioneer Veggie Thumper to make sure every guest leaves full and smiling.
Whether you’re filling the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, arranging corporate hospitality outside Wells Fargo Arena, or hosting a charity 5K along Gray’s Lake, Best Food Trucks can coordinate multiple trucks, handle POS systems, and provide real-time order tracking so your attendees spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the event. For seamless, scalable, and flavor-packed food truck catering in Des Moines, trust the pros who already feed the city’s biggest crowds—Best Food Trucks.
Skip the line and enjoy your Des Moines large-scale event
At a packed Fourth of July game at Principal Park or during the Saturday rush at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, nobody wants to waste half the day standing in line for lunch. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests can place an order from their phones, stroll the Midway, snap a selfie with the Capitol dome in the background, and get a text the moment their food is ready. No long queues, no lost time—just pure Iowa-nice convenience.
Planning ahead? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can lock in a pickup time before the gates even open at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Our platform is built for high-frequency, large-scale food truck catering in Des Moines, processing hundreds of orders per minute without breaking a sweat. The result: smoother traffic flow, happier crowds, and record concession sales.
Food trucks for large scale events plus online ordering is the winning combo DSM event planners rely on to keep the focus where it belongs—on the art, the music, the game, or the cause—while still delivering the exceptional eats Des Moines is known for.

The nachos had great flavor but the beef and chicken could have been hotter. The meat was a little cold but overall, I would definitely get the nachos again.

It was perfect. The correct amount of everything! Honestly the best smothered fries I have ever had, hands down.

Nope it was really good. Was not expecting 5 stars so did not give a 5, but beats typical food trucks rated 2 or 3

Fries and shrimp were amazing... however, my crab cake smelled and tasted funny and was s little discolored on the inside.

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!

The crust is thin and crisp just like I like it; the sauce and toppings (veggie) had a good taste and just the right amount.
