Des Moines School Food Truck Catering Made Easy
In Des Moines, from spirited Drake University tailgates to Friday‐night football at East High, nothing brings students and staff together faster than a lineup of local food trucks. Best Food Trucks is the trusted partner for school food truck catering in Des Moines, delivering fresh, crowd-pleasing meals without the cafeteria wait.
Whether you’re planning an all-day field day for Des Moines Public Schools, an alumni reunion at Roosevelt High, or simply want to spice up everyday lunches, we handle the logistics. Our industry-leading online ordering system lets hungry Bulldogs, Tigers, and Warriors pre-order on their phones and pick up in minutes—no long lines snaking around the quad.
Because every campus has unique tastes and dietary needs, we work with a hand-picked roster of Des Moines favorites:
- El Taco Guapo – Authentic street-style tacos everyone in the Metro raves about after a day at Gray’s Lake.
- Tacos Degollado – Bold Mexican flavors perfect for late-night study sessions in the Drake neighborhood.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Fresh salsas and handmade tortillas that turn lunch on the playground into a fiesta.
- Ninas Tacos – Fan-favorite birria that keeps faculty fueled during parent-teacher conferences.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Vegetarian-friendly options alongside classic carnitas for inclusive menus.
From Johnston to Altoona, we coordinate schedules, permits, and vendor selection, so PTO leaders and activities directors can focus on what matters—creating unforgettable moments for their students. With Best Food Trucks, Des Moines schools don’t just get a meal; they get a mobile dining experience that rivals the summer Downtown Farmers’ Market.

Matt—
Phenomenal work again this school year! Best Food Trucks delivered at every Des Moines campus we threw your way—North High’s homecoming, Hoover’s ACT breakfast, even that snowy band competition at Lincoln. Your trucks fed our students fast, kept the staff happy, and made me look like a hero. Thanks for being such a reliable partner.
