Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set
From the sound stages in Valley Junction to sunrise shoots along the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks delivers fast, reliable studio food truck catering in Des Moines. We’ve fueled crews at Iowa PBS, Copper Creek Studios, and indie productions filming in the East Village, so we know exactly how to keep cast and crew happy—and on schedule.
Our rotating menus spotlight some of central Iowa’s most talked-about mobile kitchens. Craving authentic tacos? Call in Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., or Ninas Tacos for street-style favorites that disappear faster than a cloud break. Need a late-night snack scene wrap? Taqueria La Esperanza brings quesadillas and burritos packed with flavor. Looking for vegan or gluten-free options that even Hawkeye State carnivores rave about? Veggie Thumper plates up plant-powered bowls that keep energy high without slowing production.
Best Food Trucks handles every detail—scouting the best parking spots for quick access, coordinating staggered pickup times, vetting all vendors for Des Moines permits and insurance, and providing a transparent cost analysis that protects your production budget. Serving straight from the truck also cuts down on packaging waste, keeping your set—and the Des Moines greenbelt—clean.
When you need dependable, eco-friendly food truck catering for a studio in Des Moines, let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime. Hot meals, cold drinks, zero stress—that’s a wrap!
Supporting Des Moines’ Small-Business Scene
Every time you roll a food truck onto your Des Moines studio lot, you’re rolling profits back into the city we love. Most of our partner trucks are family-run outfits that got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or slinging late-night bites outside Hoyt Sherman Place. Choosing studio food truck catering in Des Moines means your production dollars stay local—helping Drake neighborhood bakers pay rent and Valley Junction pit-masters buy Iowa-grown pork.
It’s also the sustainable call. Modern food trucks run on high-efficiency equipment, arrive with compostable serviceware, and leave Sherman Hill streets cleaner than they found them. Compared with traditional craft-service buffets, trucks cut energy use and packaging waste so your shoot can brag about its light carbon footprint along with its killer lighting design.
So the next time your production assistant is Googling “low-budget film catering near me,” tell them to book a truck through Best Food Trucks. You’ll get hot, crowd-pleasing meals for your cast and crew—and give Des Moines’ hard-working entrepreneurs another reason to keep their grills fired up.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

The pad Thai was terrific and so was the Thai fried rice. The best part was the way you sliced and cooked the chicken and beef
