Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
Planning a marathon day at Principal Park, a summer concert at Water Works Park, or a corporate outing during the Drake Relays? No matter the venue, Des Moines crowds expect two things: Midwestern hospitality and unforgettable food. Modern food truck catering delivers both. Instead of the old-school pop-up tents that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, ready to serve thousands within minutes.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large-scale events in Des Moines. From the Iowa State Fairgrounds to bridal expos at the Community Choice Convention Center, we match you with mobile kitchens that can keep lines short and appetites satisfied. Guests get the variety they crave—gourmet tacos, classic fair favorites, and late-night snacks—while organizers enjoy one streamlined point of contact, simple billing, and zero cleanup headaches.
Looking for mouth-watering Mexican food? Our roster features some of the Capital City’s most talked-about taqueros:
- El Taco Guapo – famous for their al pastor spun fresh on the trompo.
- Tacos Degollado – a local staple known for hand-pressed tortillas and slow-braised barbacoa.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – bringing Jalisco-style birria to downtown Des Moines.
- Ninas Tacos – crowd-pleasing carnitas and vegan street tacos.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – spicy shrimp tacos that sell out fast at East Village pop-ups.
Whether you’re feeding 500 runners after the Dam to Dam race or 5,000 fairgoers on Grand Avenue, our Des Moines food truck catering team will craft a custom lineup, secure all city permits, and keep service running smoothly from first order to last call. Book with Best Food Trucks today and discover why event planners across Central Iowa trust us to fuel their biggest celebrations.
Skip the Line and Enjoy Your Des Moines Event
Whether you’re cheering along Court Avenue during the Des Moines Marathon or rocking out at Lauridsen Amphitheater, nobody wants to spend half the night standing in a food line. Best Food Trucks solves that with our Des Moines-ready online ordering system. Guests tap their phone, choose a truck, and stroll back to the action. A text alert lets them know exactly when their fried cheese curds or pork tenderloin sandwich is hot and ready.
Hosting a morning crowd for the Farmers Market? Drop a pre-order link the night before so vendors can fire up breakfast burritos the moment the bell rings.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard

The food was good but I ordered green beans and got Mac and cheese which I don't eat. Otherwise, your score would be a 5
