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.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!

Amazing crust, great cheese and pepperoni. Sauce tasted great too, but I would like a bit more on the pizza

Pizza was perfectly cooked with high quality ingredients and you could tell they make their own crust and sauce, would definitely order from them again. Pickup went smoothly and order was ready at the requested time.

Very tasty! The seasoning on the fries has a nice kick to it. Burger was way bigger than I expected and cooked just the way I like it.

Food was ready on time, we are at the workplace and are busy so this is important to us and they were on-point. Online system worked great. Staff were friendly. Food was a little pricy, but not unexpected given it was on-site service. Quality if good was good. Original take on pizza. Was nice to get fresh cooked food at work.
