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.

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.

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.

It was a perfect combo of flavors with the right amount of spice and it had lots of chicken and veggies. (Spicy basil w/ rice)

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Hands down the best food I have had from a food truck. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the portions were large!

Only suggestion is not to use aluminum foil wrapping before it's cut. There were small pieces of aluminum in the burrito, which is not good to eat.
