Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio—Ready When You Are!
From the sound stages in the Market District to on-location shoots near Gray’s Lake, Best Food Trucks has been the go-to choice for food truck catering for studios in Des Moines. We understand the pressures of tight call sheets and union meal penalties, so we make sure every craft-services break runs like clockwork—no matter if you’re filming a commercial on Court Avenue or a feature in Waukee.
Our Des Moines studio food truck catering program is built around flexibility. We’ll collaborate with your production office to create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew excited, scout the best parking spots for fast service, and streamline online ordering and pickup so no one misses a shot. Every vendor is pre-vetted for City of Des Moines permits, insurance, and ServSafe certifications, and we supply a transparent cost analysis that fits your budget and satisfies the line producer.
Want authentic Mexican street eats between scenes? Book local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Need a vegan option for that health-conscious lead actor? Veggie Thumper has you covered. With Best Food Trucks, your Des Moines film crew catering lineup can change daily while still hitting every dietary note—from gluten-free to “extra queso, please.”
Food truck catering is also a green choice for studio productions: individual portions mean less food waste and compostable packaging cuts down on trash runs to the Polk County Landfill. Let Best Food Trucks handle the mealtime logistics so you can focus on capturing that perfect Drake Stadium sunset shot. Your crew will eat well, stay happy, and be back on set before the director calls, “Rolling!”
Fueling Des Moines Dreams—and Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your Des Moines studio set does more than feed the crew—it keeps the city’s creative engine humming. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run or solo-owned venture, whether they’re rolling in from Beaverdale, the Historic East Village, or up Fleur Drive after the morning farmers market. Every plate you order puts real dollars back into Polk County’s small-business community and helps local culinary talent thrive.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for production catering. Because they cook to order inside energy-efficient kitchens on wheels, they burn far less power than a traditional commissary tent, and their compostable serviceware keeps extra runs to Metro Waste Authority to a minimum. Your sustainability report will look as good as that golden-hour shot over the Capitol dome.
So the next time your production manager types “low-budget film catering Des Moines” or “studio food truck near me” into the call sheet, give Best Food Trucks a shout. You’ll lock in crowd-pleasing meals, support the city’s entrepreneurs, and keep your set green—all without blowing the craft-services budget.

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.
