Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the roar of the Drake Relays to the packed lawns at Water Works Park concerts, Des Moines knows how to throw a party—and locals expect great eats to match. Forget the old-school pop-up tents that need generators, extra fire permits, and hours of set-up. Modern food truck catering brings fully self-contained commercial kitchens right to your large-scale event anywhere in the 515.
Best Food Trucks coordinates a fleet of Des Moines favorites, so your guests get the variety they crave without you juggling dozens of vendors. Craving authentic street tacos after a night game at Principal Park? We can roll in Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., or Ninas Tacos—all local legends parked weekly along University Avenue. Need a vegetarian or vegan option for your corporate picnic in Gray’s Lake Park? Veggie Thumper thumps out plant-based comfort food that even carnivores line up for. Looking for late-night birria after the Des Moines Arts Festival? Taqueria La Esperanza has you covered.
Whether you’re feeding 200 at a fundraiser in Western Gateway or 20,000 tailgaters before an Iowa Cubs playoff run, our streamlined booking platform lets you pick menus, set budgets, and track service times in real time. No surprise costs, no long power cables snaking across the lawn—just hot, fresh food served fast.
Elevate your next festival, sports tournament, or corporate gathering with Des Moines food truck catering for large-scale events. Contact Best Food Trucks today and taste why mobile kitchens are the new must-have attraction in Iowa’s capital city.
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Des Moines Vibe
Nothing kills the buzz at a Wells Fargo Arena double-header or a massive company outing at the Iowa Events Center faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that headache with a Des Moines-ready online ordering system built for crowds as big as the Iowa State Fair’s. Guests tap their order on a phone, stroll back to the live music or cornhole tourney, and get a text when their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan mac from Veggie Thumper is hot and ready.
Hosting an all-day tournament at James W. Cownie Soccer Park? Drop a pre-order link in your registration packet so players can schedule pick-ups between matches. Planning a Saturday market in Historic East Village? Our platform handles high-frequency orders without crashing—no matter how many shoppers queue up for mini donuts and cold brew.
Food trucks for large-scale events in Des Moines plus Best Food Trucks’ contact-free online ordering equals happier attendees, smoother operations, and more time to enjoy everything the 515 has to offer.

The food was hot and delicious! Egg rolls were fantastic and first time having the spicy Korean Chicken and it was great. My kids tried to eat all my fried rice so will definitely have to order more next time.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.
