Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set!
From the East Village sound stages to indie shoots along the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks is the trusted partner for studio food truck catering in Des Moines. We know Iowa weather can flip faster than a script revision, so our mobile kitchens are ready to roll wherever your crew is—whether that’s a sunrise call time near the State Capitol or a late-night wrap in Valley Junction. We’ll build rotating daily menus, coordinate the prime parking spot for service, handle contact-free ordering and pickup, and vet every vendor for permits and insurance. You’ll even receive a transparent cost analysis that keeps your production on budget.
Hungry for local flavor? Treat the team to sizzling al pastor from El Taco Guapo, authentic street-style tortillas from Tacos Degollado, coastal bites from Tacos La Barca D.C., or family recipes passed down at Ninas Tacos and Taqueria La Esperanza. Each truck serves fresh, eco-friendly meals that cut down on packaging waste—perfect for keeping your set green while keeping your cast and crew satisfied.
Let Best Food Trucks eliminate the mealtime guesswork for your Des Moines studio production. Fast service, happy crews, and zero hassle—that’s a wrap!
Supporting Des Moines Small Businesses—One Studio Set at a Time
Booking food truck catering for your studio shoot isn’t just the quickest way to satisfy a hungry crew—it’s a direct investment in Des Moines’ vibrant small-business scene. Most of the trucks we partner with are family-run operations based in neighborhoods like Beaverdale, Sherman Hill, and the Drake Corridor. Every taco, tenderloin, or vegan grain bowl you order keeps dollars circulating here at home, strengthens the Greater Des Moines economy, and helps these entrepreneurs thrive between farmers-market weekends and downtown lunch rushes.
Food trucks also check the boxes for productions looking to stay sustainable. Compared with traditional buffet catering, our mobile kitchens draw less power, rely on locally sourced ingredients from Iowa farms, and cut way down on single-use plastics thanks to compostable serveware. That means a smaller carbon footprint for your set and fewer trash runs at Water Works Park or the historic Hoyt Sherman Place.
So the next time your location manager opens Google and types “low-budget film catering Des Moines,” skip the reheated hotel trays. Tap Best Food Trucks instead for a socially responsible, eco-friendly, and unmistakably local way to feed your cast and crew—without blowing the production budget.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
