Food Truck Catering for Des Moines School Events
From the halls of Roosevelt High to game day on the Drake University quad, Des Moines students and faculty are always on the move. Nothing fuels that Cyclone-level energy better than a lineup of local food trucks parked right on campus. Best Food Trucks is Des Moines’ go-to partner for seamless, crowd-pleasing food truck catering for school events. Whether you’re planning a Friday night football tailgate, an alumni reunion by the Des Moines River, or daily lunch service for hungry Maroons, we handle every detail so you don’t have to.
Our industry-leading online ordering system eliminates long lunch lines—students can order on their phones between classes and pick up in minutes. From gluten-free to vegan, we curate the perfect roster of vendors to match your school’s dietary needs and budget. All you do is tell us the date; we’ll deliver the flavor that keeps everyone talking until next semester.
Some of the Des Moines favorites we can roll up to your curb include:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic street-style tacos that make any Panther pep rally feel like Cinco de Mayo.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Fresh-griddled tortillas and sizzling carnitas, perfect for fueling up before the big East High vs. Hoover showdown.
- Ninas Tacos – A South Side favorite bringing bold Mexican flavors to lunchtime on Grand Avenue.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Crowd-pleasing burritos and quesadillas that even picky middle-schoolers at Merrill will love.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered eats that prove Des Moines can do vegan just as well as we do pork tenderloins.
Partner with Best Food Trucks and turn your next Des Moines school function into a culinary field trip. From scheduling and permits to payment and cleanup, we’ve got the whole process covered. All that’s left for you is to enjoy the buzz of happy students, satisfied staff, and the unmistakable aroma of Iowa’s best food truck fare.
Matt,
Your team knocked it out of the park again this year. From Lincoln High’s homecoming bash to Drake University’s spring fling on Forest Avenue, BFT kept every student smiling and every planner stress-free. Thanks for making food truck catering in Des Moines so easy!
