Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools & Campuses
From the east side of town near the Iowa State Fairgrounds to the bustling Drake University campus, Des Moines knows how to keep students moving—and hungry! Nothing satisfies a lunch bell like the sizzle and aroma of a local food truck parked right outside the gym. Best Food Trucks is the go-to service for food truck catering for school in Des Moines, making it simple to feed K-12 classrooms, DMACC lecture halls, and every marching band practice in between.
We partner with hometown favorites such as Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza when your students are craving authentic Mexican street food after a big game at Principal Park. Need something plant-powered for the Roosevelt High vegan club? Veggie Thumper has you covered with locally sourced bowls and wraps.
Our best-in-class online ordering system wipes out long cafeteria lines, giving teachers and students a quick “order ahead, grab, and go” option that works even during a tight passing period. PTA event at Hoyt Middle School? Senior lock-in at Valley High? Just tell us the headcount and dietary needs—gluten-free, vegetarian, nut-free—and we’ll line up the perfect mix of Des Moines food trucks for schools.
When you book with Best Food Trucks, you skip the endless phone calls and permit paperwork. We handle scheduling, health department compliance, and real-time vendor tracking so administrators can focus on what matters: creating memorable moments for Des Moines’ future leaders. Elevate your campus dining experience today with the most trusted food truck catering service in Des Moines.
Matt,
Another fantastic year! From serving tacos at East High’s homecoming to fueling late-night study sessions on the Grand View University quad, BFT’s food truck catering kept our students in Des Moines happy and focused. Thanks for being such a dependable partner!
