Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio
From early-morning shoots in the East Village to late-night wrap parties near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Best Food Trucks knows what it takes to keep a Des Moines film crew running. Our team has years of on-set experience, so your meal breaks happen on schedule and every eater on set—from the pickiest PA to the executive producer—gets exactly what they want.
We collaborate with your production office to build rotating daily menus, scout the best service location on the lot, and streamline mobile ordering and pickup. All vendors are pre-vetted for City of Des Moines permits and insurance, and we’ll hand you a clear cost analysis that stays within your catering budget. Choosing food truck catering for studios in Des Moines also cuts down on food and packaging waste—perfect for a city that prides itself on its clean riverfront.
Ready to feed the crew? Bring in crowd-pleasing local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, Taqueria La Esperanza, or go plant-powered with Veggie Thumper. Whether you’re filming a commercial by the Capitol or a feature near Gray’s Lake, Best Food Trucks will make sure your Des Moines studio catering is seamless, sustainable, and delicious.
Supporting Des Moines Small Businesses, One Food Truck at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your Des Moines studio shoot isn’t just convenient—it’s a direct investment in the metro’s vibrant small-business scene. Most of our trucks are owned by solo entrepreneurs from neighborhoods like Beaverdale, Drake, and Valley Junction, many of whom you’ve seen parked at the Downtown Farmers’ Market on Court Avenue. Every burrito wrapped or bao steamed on your set keeps dollars circulating right here in Polk County and helps our local culinary talent grow.
Food trucks also check the sustainability box that modern productions demand. Because they cook to order in energy-efficient kitchens and serve with compostable ware approved by Metro Waste Authority, trucks create far less waste than traditional buffet catering. That means fewer trips to the dumpster behind your soundstage and a greener riverfront the next time you stroll the Principal Riverwalk.
So, the next time you Google “low-budget film catering Des Moines” or “on-set food truck near me,” skip the generic options and go local with Best Food Trucks. You’ll score flavor, flexibility, and a socially responsible way to fuel your cast and crew.

The sandwich was nice and hot and the bread was moist and not hard. The fries were very good and the salt was perfect.

I got the cheesesteak combo. It was pretty good. Fries were a bit too crunchy and overcooked for my liking.

the burger from Badass Burger Buggy was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Even after bringing it home it was still hot which made it taste even better. Nikki's Sweets are always very good and we like trying a new dessert each time.
