Des Moines Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events
Whether you’re filling the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, kicking off a 5K at Water Works Park, or packing Principal Park for a summer concert, the right food keeps crowds energized and smiling. Best Food Trucks is the one-stop solution for large-scale event catering in Des Moines, Iowa.
Forget the old days of pop-up tents, tangled power cords, and marathon set-up times. Today’s food trucks arrive as self-contained commercial kitchens, rolling in, firing up, and serving hundreds of guests in minutes. That means shorter lines, faster service, and happier Hawkeyes and Cyclones alike.
We partner with some of Des Moines’ most popular mobile eateries to offer menus that fit every taste and dietary need. Bring the heat with authentic Mexican street fare from Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza, or keep things plant-powered with the crowd-favorite Veggie Thumper. From handcrafted tacos and birria to vegan bowls bursting with local produce, we’ve got your menu covered.
Best Food Trucks handles everything—scheduling multiple trucks, coordinating permits, setting up cashless ordering, and ensuring smooth service from the first inning to the encore. So whether you’re hosting 500 runners or 15,000 festival-goers, trust the experts in Des Moines food truck catering for large events. Tell us your headcount and location, and we’ll park the perfect lineup right where you need it.
Skip the Line and Savor the Moment at Your Des Moines Large-Scale Event
From the first guitar riff at 80/35 to the final lap of the Dam to DSM half-marathon, attendees want to focus on the action—not stand in line for lunch. Best Food Trucks’ Des Moines-based online ordering system makes that possible. Guests browse menus from our food trucks on their phones, tap to order, and get a text when their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is ready for pick-up. No long queues, no lost time—just more memories made at your event.
Planning a Saturday at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or a packed night at the Lauridsen Amphitheater? Send a pre-order link with ticket confirmations and let crowds choose a precise pickup window before they even arrive. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, so whether you’re feeding 500 riders at RAGBRAI’s Des Moines stop or 20,000 fairgoers on the Grand Concourse, every transaction is smooth and fast.

I like both pizzas, especially the one with mushroom, cheese, carm onion, and arugula with truffle oil. Also being able to pre-order ahead, service was fast. Thank you!

Delicious and PROMPT! Such a refreshing change from most trucks that start 20 to 40 minutes late. Awesome job have them back!

The Ahi Tuna Roll was quite delicious and surprisingly substantial without being too heavy. I recommend picking a fork with it. Wraps never survive in one piece.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Amazing crust, great cheese and pepperoni. Sauce tasted great too, but I would like a bit more on the pizza
