Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From tailgating at a sold-out Iowa Cubs game in Principal Park to dancing all afternoon at the 80/35 Music Festival, big gatherings in Des Moines share one common ingredient—great local food. Modern food truck catering makes it easy to deliver that experience without the hassle of old-school tent kitchens, extra permits, or hours of setup. With fully self-contained commercial kitchens on wheels, food trucks roll in, power up, and start serving your guests in minutes, keeping the focus on the party and not on logistics.
Best Food Trucks has spent years pairing Central Iowans with the area’s most popular mobile kitchens. Whether you’re planning a corporate picnic at Water Works Park, a vendor village at the Drake Relays, or a massive crowd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, our team coordinates multiple trucks, staggered serving times, and diverse menus so every attendee finds something they love.
Craving authentic street tacos? Line up the crew at Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza for fresh-off-the-grill Mexican favorites. Looking for plant-forward fare to satisfy veggie lovers at the Downtown Farmers’ Market after-party? Veggie Thumper has you covered with creative, Iowa-grown goodness.
No event is too large. From 500 hungry runners finishing the Dam to Dam race to 25,000 music fans packing the Lauridsen Amphitheater, our Des Moines food truck catering experts handle scheduling, health-department compliance, insurance, and payment processing. You just pick the trucks and watch the lines move.
Ready to make your large-scale event the talk of Central Iowa? Contact Best Food Trucks today and discover why we’re the first call for Des Moines food truck catering.
Skip the Line and Savor Your Des Moines Event
Nothing kills the buzz at a sold-out show at Wells Fargo Arena or a Saturday night block party in the East Village faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with the same Midwest efficiency Des Moines is famous for. Our cutting-edge online ordering system lets guests browse menus, pay, and pick a time slot—all from their phones—so they can keep cheering on the Iowa Wild, shopping the Downtown Farmers’ Market, or touring the Pappajohn Sculpture Park instead of standing in a queue.
Here’s how it works: send a pre-event link to attendees, volunteers, or VIPs and they can schedule a pickup window before gates even open. During the event, real-time texts alert them the moment their gyro, tenderloin, or vegan grain bowl is ready. Even at high-volume gatherings like Homecoming on the Drake blue oval or the Hy-Vee IndyCar Race Weekend, our platform processes hundreds of simultaneous orders without a hitch.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines plus seamless online ordering equals happier crowds, faster lines, and more time for what really matters—experiencing the best of the 515. Book your fleet with Best Food Trucks today and turn every bite into a reason to remember your event.

They were very timely with the order. BUT, while we were charged fully and even asked to tip before the order was delivered, they didn't uphold their end of the bargain. We were missing an entrée, meaning one of us had to trek back down to the truck to get the order properly filled.

I ordered noodles with a side of chicken. On the description of the noodles it says it comes with grilled vegtables and there were none.

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!
