Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set
From the bustling streets of the East Village to soundstages tucked away near the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks brings fresh, on-time meals to every corner of the Metro. We’ve spent years perfecting food truck catering for studio crews, and now we’re putting that expertise to work for productions right here in Des Moines.
We collaborate with your production team to create rotating daily menus that keep cast and crew energized through sunrise call-times and late-night shoots. Need a grab-and-go taco between takes? Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza serve up authentic Mexican favorites that satisfy every spice level. Looking for a plant-powered pick-me-up? Veggie Thumper rolls in with vibrant bowls and smoothies that keep your talent camera-ready.
Our local logistics team will pinpoint the best parking spots—whether it’s outside a warehouse on SW 9th Street or beside Principal Park—to ensure quick ordering and zero downtime during meal breaks. We vet every vendor for proper City of Des Moines permits and insurance, streamline online ordering, and deliver a detailed cost analysis that fits your production budget.
Food truck catering for studios in Des Moines is eco-friendly too; precise, made-to-order meals mean less food and packaging waste. Let Best Food Trucks handle the cast-and-crew cuisine so you can focus on nailing that next shot. When Des Moines studios need reliable, crowd-pleasing catering, they call the experts—Best Food Trucks.
Fueling Des Moines Dreams—and Des Moines Small Businesses
When you roll a food truck onto your Ingersoll Avenue shoot or downtown studio lot, you’re doing more than feeding the crew—you're keeping Greater Des Moines dollars right here at home. Nearly every truck we partner with is a Hawkeye-State labor of love, run by solo chefs and multigenerational families who live in neighborhoods like Beaverdale, South Side, and Waukee. Your catering budget helps them pay staff, restock at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, and keep their Iowa-registered rigs rolling all year long.
Food trucks are also a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional craft services. Because each meal is cooked to order in an energy-efficient mobile kitchen, there’s less power draw than a banquet setup and far fewer chafing-dish leftovers ending up at the Metro Waste Authority. Compostable service ware and digital ordering slash single-use plastics and paper menus, keeping the Raccoon River a little cleaner for our next skyline drone shot.
So the next time you’re Googling “affordable film set catering in Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks connects you with locally owned trucks that taste great and do good. Book with us, and give your cast, crew, and the Des Moines small-business community a standing ovation.

The pizza and the wings were amazing as always. Wait time to receive the food was at or over an hour from placing the order on the BFT app. This has to improve to sustain repeat customers.

One of the, if not the, best brisket sandwiches I've ever had. This is by far the best food truck that has come to this community. Thank you so much and would love to see you back in the future!

, pizzas were delicious but was sad that they were out of the Hawaiian pizza when we preordered it a day ahead and were only the 2nd order of the night. The margarita pizza didn't have any basil on it like the picture showed.

The brisket and Mac was delicious! And so was the banana pudding! I had to get 2. And the sweet tea hits the spot as well!

I think I've been to Food Truck Thursday 4 times now. 3/4 times I've had your truck and it's been the bomb! The only time I didn't go was only because you weren't there!

Elevated food truck. Will order again. It was delicious and high quality. Area for improvement: We received a text message it was ready and waited another 15 minutes. Time management needs to be improved. If this happens and everything else remains the same, then they are one of the best food trucks, if not the best, hands down.

Wow this was THE perfect idea for our graduation party. They arrived about 25 minutes prior to our event and was ready t serve immediately. The truck team were so friendly and fast with the food orders, even finding someone if they didn’t hear their name called. Everyone raved about the delicious food. Best part is we didn’t have a ton of catered or homemade food left overs. I will definitely do this again with Wok-O Taco!
