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.

Skip the Line and Soak Up the Des Moines Vibe

Whether the Cyclones just kicked off at Jack Trice or the headliner is about to hit the main stage at 80/35, nobody comes to downtown Des Moines to stand in a food line. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your attendees tap in a few times on their phone, stroll the MidAmerican Energy Riverwalk, and get a text the moment their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is ready. 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. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, so a surge of hungry fairgoers at intermission is no sweat.

For the price I thought the quesadilla was a little on the small side. Order was ready 20 min after stated pickup time. Everything tasted good though.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.
