Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Des Moines
When Des Moines throws a party—whether it’s the Downtown Farmers’ Market, the Iowa State Fair Parade, or a Friday night concert in the East Village—crowds expect two things: unforgettable entertainment and amazing food. Best Food Trucks delivers both with expert food truck catering for large scale events in Des Moines.
Forget the old days of canvas tents, tangled power cords, and marathon setup times. Today’s mobile kitchens roll in fully self-contained, serving fresh meals within minutes of parking at Principal Park, Gray’s Lake, or outside Wells Fargo Arena. That means shorter lines, hotter food, and happier guests at your large-scale event.
Best Food Trucks curates the city’s most popular rolling restaurants, giving your attendees the variety they crave while we handle every detail—permits, parking, scheduling, and menu balance. Some Des Moines favorites you can book through us include:
- Tacos Degollado – authentic Mexican street tacos that bring a taste of Jalisco to central Iowa.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – known for juicy al pastor shaved straight from the trompo.
- Ninas Tacos – handmade tortillas stuffed with Iowa-raised pork carnitas and fresh salsa.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – burritos and quesadillas big enough to fuel a lap around Drake Stadium.
- Veggie Thumper – Des Moines’ plant-based pioneer dishing vibrant grain bowls and smoothies.
From corporate picnics during the Drake Relays to massive tailgates on Cy-Hawk weekend, our food truck catering for large scale events in Des Moines ensures every guest finds something they love. You pick the date; we’ll roll in the flavor.

Skip the Line at Des Moines’ Biggest Events
Best Food Trucks pairs its food truck catering for large scale events in Des Moines with an industry-leading online ordering system, so your crowd can keep their eyes on the stage at 80/35, the fireworks over Jordan Creek Town Center, or the fourth-quarter drive at Jack Trice Stadium—not on a slow-moving line.
Here’s how it works: guests pull out their phones, browse every truck’s live menu, and place an order in seconds. When the corn dog or Buddha bowl is hot, our system sends a text notification and the guest strolls up to the pickup window—no elbow-to-elbow waiting required.
Planning a pre-game at Principal Park or a corporate bash during the Des Moines Arts Festival? Send attendees a custom pre-order link so they can choose a pickup time before the gates even open. Our platform is built to handle thousands of simultaneous orders, making it perfect for high-traffic events like the Iowa State Fair Parade or a Cy-Hawk tailgate.
Food trucks for large scale events in Des Moines plus Best Food Trucks’ seamless online ordering equals happy guests, shorter lines, and a smoother event from first call to last bite.

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

The whole thing! Everything was great. Chicken and black beans were perfectly seasoned, rice was the proper consistency, the plantain was a nice touch and the fried patty things was also exceptional. Sauce was great too.

I love Chef Rey's. Get it every time it's at Boeing! Love the portions, it's always hot, juicy and delicious!!!

Chopping the brisket instead of pulling it would make it easier to eat on a grilled cheese sandwich to avoid larger amounts coming out together. Also, double check preorders to ensure everything is accounted for...I shouldn't have to go back to the truck for the side of Barbecue sauce that I had ordered.

The pizza was amazing. Wood fire from a truck is always a hit. Would like to see them in the rotation more often.

They were so great to work with! As organizers, they made our lives easy by coming early to set up and were easy to communicate with. They had a wide variety of options for our guests and it was such a fun treat to offer to our community!!
