Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set!
Whether you’re filming a commercial downtown on Court Avenue, shooting an indie at the historic Varsity, or hosting a photo session in the East Village, Best Food Trucks brings top-tier food truck catering for studios in Des Moines. Our local team understands the pace of Iowa productions: call times shift, weather changes in a blink, and hungry crews don’t like to wait. We keep your meal breaks on schedule and your cast and crew smiling.
From the very first call, we’ll collaborate with your production office to craft rotating daily menus that keep the craft services table exciting. Need breakfast burritos at 5 a.m. near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park? Craving street tacos for a sunset shoot along the Des Moines Riverwalk? We’ve got you covered.
We’ll also secure the perfect service location—whether that’s a private lot in the Drake neighborhood or a mobile setup outside your soundstage in West Des Moines—streamline online ordering and pickup, and thoroughly vet every vendor’s permits and insurance. Then we wrap it all up in a clear cost analysis that respects even the tightest indie budget.
Need menu inspiration? Treat the crew to sizzling al pastor from Tacos Degollado, birria tacos from Tacos La Barca D.C., vegan soul bowls courtesy of Veggie Thumper, or late-night nachos from Ninas Tacos and Taqueria La Esperanza. Your crew will rave about craft-level flavor without ever leaving set.
Food truck catering is also an eco-friendly win for your production: fewer disposable trays, less food waste, and a lighter carbon footprint around Des Moines. Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of studio mealtime so you can stay focused on getting the perfect shot.
Fueling Des Moines Creativity While Backing Local Businesses
Booking food truck catering for your Des Moines studio set doesn’t just keep the crew happy—it keeps Central Iowa’s small-business community thriving. Every truck we curate, from a retro Airstream slinging smashburgers by Gray’s Lake to a family-run pupusería that drives in from nearby Ankeny, is owned and operated by local entrepreneurs who live, shop, and hire right here in the 515.
Because these vendors source much of their produce and proteins from Iowa farms, your production dollars circulate close to home and your meals taste farm-fresh. It’s a win-win for the local economy and for flavor-hungry cast members.
Food trucks also check the eco-friendly box for Des Moines productions. Self-contained kitchens mean lower energy use than traditional on-set buffets, while digital ordering through our Best Food Trucks app slashes paper waste. Fewer disposable trays, shorter supply chains, and minimal food waste add up to a lighter carbon footprint along Fleur Drive and beyond.
So the next time you’re Googling “low-budget film catering near me” from a set in the Historic East Village or a soundstage in West Des Moines, tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll get studio food truck catering that’s socially responsible, environmentally smart, and unmistakably Des Moines.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

For the price I thought the quesadilla was a little on the small side. Order was ready 20 min after stated pickup time. Everything tasted good though.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.
