Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools
From the halls of Roosevelt High to the quad at Drake University, Des Moines students move fast—and they want their lunch even faster. Food truck catering for school in Des Moines is the perfect answer. Best Food Trucks partners with the city’s favorite mobile kitchens to create a cafeteria that can park right on your playground, parking lot, or practice field.
Imagine fueling your debate team before the state finals at Valley Southwoods, or keeping the marching band energized after rehearsal at the Hoover stadium. Whether it’s a homecoming tailgate, an all-district teacher in-service, or a daily lunch rotation, we handle everything from scheduling to online ordering. Our on-campus pickup app lets students and faculty order ahead, skip the line, and get back to class without missing a beat.
Because Des Moines tastes run from pork tenderloins to plant-based bowls, we curate a line-up as diverse as the East Village art scene. Craving bold Mexican flavors? Book local legends like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza for fresh street tacos that make study hall feel like a fiesta. Looking for something meat-free before the big cross-country meet at Water Works Park? Veggie Thumper brings plant-powered comfort food that even the Iowa State Fair crowd would line up for.
Best Food Trucks removes the guesswork of finding licensed, school-approved vendors, so PTA boards, activities directors, and booster clubs can focus on fundraising and fun. We negotiate permits with Polk County, coordinate arrival times around dismissal traffic, and provide real-time sales reports for transparent budgeting.
Upgrade your next pep rally, STEM night, or everyday lunch break with the top food truck catering for schools in Des Moines. With Best Food Trucks, you’re not just serving a meal—you’re creating a campus experience as memorable as a sunset over the Des Moines River.
Matt,

Students and staff are still raving about the food truck catering you brought to our Des Moines campuses!
