Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Des Moines
From summer concerts at Water Works Park to Hawkeye Football watch parties outside Principal Park, big gatherings in Des Moines share one secret ingredient: amazing local food. Gone are the days of fragile pop-up tents, endless extension cords, and 4 a.m. set-ups. Modern food truck catering brings fully self-contained commercial kitchens right to your venue, serving hundreds of guests in minutes.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large scale events in Des Moines, Iowa. Whether you’re hosting a festival on the Iowa State Fairgrounds, a corporate outing at Gray’s Lake, or a vendor village during the world-famous Downtown Farmers’ Market, we’ll assemble a lineup that fits your crowd and your budget.
Craving authentic Mexican flavor that will wow your attendees? We can roll up a fleet of local favorites:
- El Taco Guapo – legendary birria and street tacos that keep East Village locals coming back.
- Tacos Degollado – hand-pressed tortillas and salsas as bright as an Iowa sunset.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – seafood tacos and classic al pastor perfect for summer festivals.
- Ninas Tacos – family-owned and serving carnitas that rival any sit-down spot on Ingersoll Avenue.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – a late-night favorite now available for daytime corporate events.
Each truck arrives fully licensed, insured, and ready to serve, eliminating permitting headaches for organizers. Guests get fresh, made-to-order meals, and you enjoy predictable service times, cashless payment options, and real-time sales reporting.

Skip the line at Des Moines’ biggest events
Whether you’re rocking out at the 80/35 Music Festival, cheering during an Iowa Wild double-header at Wells Fargo Arena, or browsing art in Western Gateway Park, nobody wants to waste time standing in a food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with a cutting-edge online ordering system built for large-scale events in Des Moines.
Here’s how it works: guests scan a QR code posted around your venue, browse every participating food truck on their phone, and place an order in seconds.

High-frequency ordering is seamless, so 20,000 hungry fans at Principal Park can all hit “Order Now” without crashing the system.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
