From the roar of the crowd at Principal Park to the summer vibes at the Des Moines Arts Festival in Western Gateway Park, big events in our city demand memorable food. Best Food Trucks delivers exactly that with turnkey food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines. Our fully licensed trucks roll in with self-contained commercial kitchens, eliminating the headaches that used to come with old-school tent vendors—no extra permitting hoops, no messy power drops, and no four-hour tear-downs.
Whether you’re packing the Iowa State Fairgrounds, activating Water Works Park for a concert, or transforming the East Village for a corporate block party, we curate a lineup of Des Moines’ most popular mobile kitchens. Gourmet to casual, vegan to carnitas—we make sure every attendee finds a plate worth posting on Instagram.
Craving authentic street tacos? We can book local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza so your guests can sample al pastor, barbacoa, and house-made salsas without leaving the party. Looking for plant-forward options? Veggie Thumper serves crowd-pleasing vegan bowls that even meat-lovers line up for.
Best Food Trucks handles the scheduling, permitting, POS integration, and on-site coordination, so you can focus on the music, the sponsors, and the memories. When it comes to food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines, we’re the hometown experts that make feeding thousands look easy.

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!

Ashley was awesome! She checked in days beforehand to coordinate proper timing and setup, and she endured the extreme heat to provide great food and friendly service for four hours. People really enjoyed the tacos and nacho selections. Outstanding addition to our house party!
