Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the roar of the crowd at Principal Park to the jam-packed lawns of the 80/35 Music Festival, Des Moines knows how to throw a party—and how important great food is to the experience. Today’s event planners are swapping old-school tent kitchens for modern food trucks with full, self-contained commercial setups. No extra generators, no lengthy build-outs—just roll in, open the window, and start serving hungry Iowans.
Best Food Trucks makes coordinating food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines simple. We curate a fleet that can keep lines moving at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, the Des Moines Arts Festival, or a tailgate outside Jack Trice and Kinnick. Whether you need sizzling al pastor from Tacos Degollado, the fresh flavors of Tacos La Barca D.C., or the crowd-pleasing street tacos from Ninas Tacos and Taqueria La Esperanza, we’ve got the Hawkeye State’s appetite covered. Looking for a plant-forward option? Veggie Thumper dishes out veggie-packed bowls that even carnivores love.
Our local Des Moines team handles all scheduling, permits, and day-of logistics, so you can focus on your stage lineup, 5K route, or corporate agenda. From a corporate outing at Water Works Park to a charity 10K along the Des Moines River, we’ll position trucks strategically to prevent bottlenecks and keep your attendees fueled.
Ready to turn your concert, festival, or sporting event into the talk of Polk County? Partner with Best Food Trucks for the most reliable, flavorful, and flexible large-event food truck catering in Des Moines.

No shoulder-to-shoulder queues, no missing the action.
Planning a Saturday night rally at Cowles Commons or a 20-truck layout at the Iowa State Fairgrounds? Send guests a pre-order link so they can lock in a pickup time before they even leave Ankeny or West Des Moines.

I wish there was another slice of tomato on my loaded grilled cheese, it was a lot of bread. The kale salad was very tasty. Thanks

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes
