Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
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.

With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests tap in a few clicks on their phone, grab a seat, and get a text the moment their tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is ready.

The brisket was excellent. I was disappointed that the Mac n cheese that I ordered was out but was pleased with the fries. They were hot and fresh.

The food was very good. The food truck staff were super kind and did their best to keep up with the inundation of orders. The BFT app told me that my order was ready; however, I had to wait at the truck (with many other customers) for well over an hour for my order. The communication dependability between BFT and the customer needs to improve drastically.

They forgot to put the nacho toppings on top of the chips for my dad so he had to go back so he wasn't just eating plain chips when steak nachos were ordered. The quesabirria though was very tasty!

Food was good but the service was lacking. I placed a preorder for 5:25pm. I received an email at 5:25pm that my order was ready. I went to pick it up and finally got my order at 6:30 pm and that was after having to remind the crew what I ordered and paid for one hour and 45 minutes earlier. They evidently lost my order.

I don't think it's them, there seems to be an issue with receiving notification when our orders are done it's everytime we have ordered through BFT

Everything was great, but the cannolis were empty in the middle. They were tasty though, just wish they were filled more.

The pizza is too expensive for the size. Delicious but too small. Didn't like the garlic knots too much, tasted like pretzel dough.

Ordering was easy. Food was ready at the right time. Food was yummy. And the person on the truck was friendly.

I left a note to put sauce on side and it was on the tenders. I ordered ahead and there wasn't a option for no sauce
