Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set!
Whether you’re shooting a commercial along Fleur Drive or wrapping a feature in the East Village, Best Food Trucks delivers studio catering Des Moines crews count on. After years of feeding cast and crew from Valley Junction to the historic Capitol district, we know how to keep production on schedule and stomachs happy—even when Iowa weather keeps everyone guessing.
Our studio food truck catering in Des Moines is built around your call sheet. We’ll craft rotating daily menus, scout the perfect service spot—be it outside a soundstage near Drake University or curbside at Principal Park—and streamline ordering and pickup so no one misses a scene. Every vendor is vetted for permits, insurance, and the friendliness Midwest crews expect. You’ll get a clear cost summary that fits your budget and reduces food and packaging waste, keeping our “Farm to Film” approach sustainable.
Craving local flavor? Treat the team to sizzling al pastor from Tacos Degollado, coastal-style bites from Tacos La Barca D.C., or the fan-favorite street tacos at Ninas Tacos. Need late-night fuel after a long shoot? Taqueria La Esperanza brings authentic Mexican comfort right to set. And for plant-powered stars and crew, Veggie Thumper serves vibrant vegan bowls that thump with Iowa-grown produce.
From sunrise call times to golden-hour wrap parties, let Best Food Trucks handle your studio catering in Des Moines. We’ll keep craft services seamless, appetites satisfied, and your production rolling without a hitch—so you can focus on getting the perfect shot.
Fuel Your Shoot—and Des Moines’ Small Business Scene
Booking a food truck for your set isn’t just the tastiest decision you’ll make today, it’s an investment in Des Moines itself. Every truck we roll onto your lot—from a converted school bus parked off Ingersoll to a sleek trailer at the Historic East Village—belongs to a local family or solo entrepreneur who lives, shops, and hires right here in the 515. Your cast and crew get hot, handcrafted meals, while hard-working DSM owners keep their wheels (and our city’s economy) turning.
That hometown pride comes with an eco-bonus, too. Compared to conventional buffet lines, food trucks run lighter equipment, draw less power, and leave behind fewer single-use pans. Many of our vendors source produce straight from the Downtown Farmers’ Market or neighboring Polk County farms, so the miles (and emissions) from field to film are minimal.
So the next time “studio catering Des Moines” or “low-budget film catering near me” pops into your search bar, remember that Best Food Trucks can keep your production on schedule while keeping Des Moines dollars local and our city a little greener. Ready to roll? Give us a call, and let’s park some DSM flavor on your set.

!! The crust was crispy, yet still soft and fluffy. The veggies were perfect! Garlic cheesy bread was spot on and the cinnamon bread was the perfect finishing touch. Amazing food truck! Fantastic and friend staff! Would 10/10 recommend!

Oh my goodness! These have to be the sandwich. Best sandwiches we have ever had. Your toasted buns are phenomenal and you don’t skimp on the filling!!! Your chicken is so tender, and we loved the Reuben too. Looking forward to you coming back to Raintree again.

We choose Good Hombres to cater a retirement party at our business, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They arrived right on time to set up and were ready to serve exactly when planned. The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were very generous—no one left hungry! The staff was incredibly friendly and kept the line moving quickly, so everyone was served without long waits. We chose a package that included an entrée, side, and drink for each guest, and it was well worth it. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. Our guests loved the unique idea of having a food truck, and it really added something special to the event. Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or corporate event!

- the side of salsa was only half full so not enough for 4 pieces of quesadilla; side of sour cream may have been fat-free as it wasn't as flavorful as regular sour cream.

The flavor of the fries & corn dog were great & the fried cookie dough was a nice treat to have accessible given you typically only get the luxury of fair food at the fair. It's nice to have the option for fair food so easily accessible! Look forward to ordering again!

The cheeseburger egg roll it was new to me. It was hot crispy and juicey so good perfect for a food truck easy to eat 😋 but tasty and very filling feels like quality food and not fast food garbage Definitely would order again!
