Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From summer concerts at Water Works Park to corporate expos at the Iowa Events Center, Des Moines knows how to host a crowd. The secret ingredient? Incredible food. Gone are the days of flimsy tent kitchens and mile-long extension cords. Today’s large-scale events rely on food truck catering—self-contained commercial kitchens that roll up, fire up, and feed thousands without missing a beat.
Best Food Trucks partners with the city’s most talked-about mobile eateries so every guest leaves raving about your menu. Want melt-in-your-mouth al pastor tacos? Book Tacos Degollado. Need West-Coast-style birria for your beer garden in the East Village? Tacos La Barca D.C. has you covered. For handmade tortillas and Midwest charm, invite Ninas Tacos. Late-night carne asada cravings at a Drake University block party? Taqueria La Esperanza never disappoints. And if your crowd includes vegans—or just health-conscious Cyclone and Hawkeye fans—the vibrant Veggie Thumper bus dishes out plant-based bowls that even carnivores love.
Whether you’re planning a 20,000-person festival at the Iowa State Fairgrounds or a 5K finish-line celebration along the Des Moines River, we tailor a fleet of trucks to match your headcount, dietary needs, and service-time goals. Best Food Trucks handles route logistics, permitting, and on-site coordination, ensuring fast lines, hot meals, and happy guests.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

We ordered the Chili Chicken Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, and an order of wings. Everything was delicious

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza was perfect and the Pepperoni with Bell Pepper was good. I personally had a problem with my veggie pizza, but it is really my fault because I guess the veggie pizza comes with Truffle Oil on it and either I didn't see that or I don't like Truffle Oil. So really the truck gets a 5.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.

. They are really good but I would suggest a better description of the size. We would have ordered a few more.
