Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set!
From the sound stages at Northwest 41st Film Center to the indie shoots along the Des Moines Riverwalk, Best Food Trucks is the city’s go-to partner for on-location food truck catering. We’ve spent years feeding production crews large and small, so we know how to keep your talent and tech teams fueled without delaying a single take.
Our local Des Moines catering experts will:
- Design rotating daily menus that keep things fresh—think zesty Mexican street tacos one day and plant-powered bowls the next.
- Scout the best parking spots near your soundstage or mobile set, whether you’re filming in the East Village or out by Gray’s Lake.
- Streamline online ordering and quick-grab pickup so meal breaks stay on schedule.
- Verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with Des Moines city regs.
- Deliver a clear cost analysis that fits even the tightest production budget.
Ready for a taste of Des Moines? Tap some of the metro’s most-requested trucks:
- Tacos Degollado – crowd-pleasing Mexican food that disappears faster than your editor’s coffee.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – authentic flavors straight from Jalisco, perfect for those late-night shoots in the Historic East Village.
- Ninas Tacos – hand-pressed tortillas and fresh salsas that’ll make your grip crew grin.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – sizzling al pastor carved right on set at Valley Junction.
- Veggie Thumper – plant-based power bowls for vegan actors and health-minded PAs.
Food truck catering is a greener choice too—less packaging, minimal food waste, and fewer trips to off-site restaurants keep your carbon footprint and overtime costs down. Let Best Food Trucks handle every meal for your Des Moines studio production so you can focus on nailing the next scene, not lunch logistics.
Fueling Des Moines Dreams—And Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your studio shoot isn’t just the tastiest choice in town—it’s a direct investment in Des Moines entrepreneurs. Nearly every truck we send to set is a family-run operation based right here in the 515, from a Beaverdale dumpling cart to a South Side BBQ rig that buys brisket at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Your catering dollars stay local, boosting the metro economy instead of disappearing to a national chain.
The trucks are kinder to the planet, too. Compact kitchens use far less energy than a brick-and-mortar commissary, and made-to-order plates mean minimal food waste—no more dumping half-empty hotel pans behind the soundstage on 23rd Street. Several of our vendors even compost through Metro Waste Authority, keeping your production’s environmental footprint as light as a boom mic.
So the next time you’re searching “low budget film catering near me” from a trailer parked off Fleur Drive, remember: a Des Moines food truck feeds your crew, supports hometown businesses, and keeps your set green. Hit Best Food Trucks and we’ll roll in a socially responsible spread that makes every take taste better.

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!

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.

The corned beef was really, really good - don't change that. The pollock in the fish reuben was decent but could have been better. I ordered colcannon and was just potatoes and scallions - there wasn't any cabbage or bacon bits.

Very flavorful, reasonably priced, including extra au jus and horseradish was great and nice having the bag of chips. Thank you!
