Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set!
When you’re shooting in Des Moines—whether it’s a commercial off Fleur Drive or an indie film near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park—timely, crowd-pleasing meals aren’t a luxury, they’re a necessity. Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for studios in Des Moines, delivering fresh, made-to-order dishes right to your basecamp so your cast and crew can refuel fast and get back to the next scene.
Our local team partners with popular trucks like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, Taqueria La Esperanza, and the plant-forward favorite Veggie Thumper. From authentic al pastor tacos to crave-worthy vegan bowls, we rotate daily menus that keep even the most persnickety eaters happy—no more grumbling in the makeup trailer!
Best Food Trucks handles everything: mapping out the best serving spot on your lot, streamlining mobile ordering and express pickup, verifying every vendor’s permits and insurance, and giving you a clear cost analysis that fits the production budget. Food truck catering for studios in Des Moines also means less packaging and food waste—an eco-friendly win the crew can feel good about.
From the East Village to Valley Junction, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime on set. Your only job is to call “Lunch!” and watch the hungry rush turn into satisfied smiles.
Fueling Your Shoot—and Des Moines’ Small Businesses
Choosing food truck catering for your studio in Des Moines does more than fill stomachs between takes; it pours revenue right back into our hometown. Every truck that pulls up to your basecamp—from the smoker parked off Hickman Road to the coffee bus that usually stations near Drake Stadium—is a family- or solo-run business hustling to make it big. Your call sheet becomes their paycheck, helping owners cover commissary rent on Ingersoll, buy sweet corn from Polk County growers, and hire extra hands for the busy Saturday run at the Downtown Farmers’ Market.
It’s also a greener way to feed a crew. Self-contained mobile kitchens require far less power than chafing-dish buffets, and our vendors serve with compostable plates to keep landfill loads light—something everyone who loves the Raccoon River can cheer. Pair that with our app-based ordering that eliminates paper tickets and over-portioning, and you’ve got an eco-friendly catering plan that earns instant praise from the sustainability coordinator.
So the next time “low-budget film catering near me” pops into your search bar, remember: Best Food Trucks delivers studio catering in Des Moines that keeps casts happy, supports local entrepreneurs, and leaves a lighter footprint on set—one mouth-watering bite at a time.

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.

Amazing burgers and great value! True smash burger that gives that burger feel. Comeback sauce took it over the top 11/10

It was amazing! Loved the sauce and the chicken and how the chicken was prepared. Wish I had a few more veggies but otherwise loved it. Thanks

Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

The listing should specify that addition of ranch in the boom boom wrap will come as a little container instead of being added into the wrap. Also, the wrap was cut with aluminum foil on it which resulted in fragments of aluminum in the wrap.

The staff was super friendly. We were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were cold. The burger buns were super fresh.
