Hot, Customizable Meals in Des Moines—Ready When You Call “Action”!
If your production is rolling cameras anywhere in the Des Moines metro—whether it’s a feature shoot downtown near the historic East Village, B-roll along the Des Moines River, or a TV pilot out by Gray’s Lake—Best Food Trucks has studio catering covered. Our food truck catering for studios in Des Moines keeps your crew fueled, on-time, and happy.
We’ll work side-by-side with your production team to build rotating menus that fit every dietary need, schedule meal breaks around lighting setups, and stage the trucks so they’re accessible even if you’re tucked deep inside the skywalk system or parked at Principal Park. From permit pulls to insurance verification, we handle the paperwork so you can stay focused on the shot list.
Imagine the entire cast diving into street-style al pastor from El Taco Guapo, savoring carne asada from Tacos Degollado, or grabbing veggie-packed tacos at Tacos La Barca D.C.. Round out the spread with crowd-friendly options from Ninas Tacos and the legendary birria of Taqueria La Esperanza. Every truck we recommend is fully vetted for local health codes and carries the insurance your studio requires.
Ordering is simple: crew and talent place their meals through our online portal, pick up their names when the lunch bell rings, and get back to set with zero downtime. Food truck catering also keeps Des Moines green by slashing food and packaging waste compared with traditional buffet services.
Let Best Food Trucks remove the guesswork from studio catering in Des Moines. We’ll provide transparent cost breakdowns that keep you on budget, menus that wow even the pickiest eaters, and the kind of “Iowa Nice” service that makes your entire production run smoother.
Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you roll a food truck onto your Des Moines soundstage, you’re doing more than feeding the crew—you’re investing in the city’s vibrant small-business scene. Most of the trucks we book for studio food truck catering in Des Moines are family-owned rigs that you’ve seen parked at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, along Ingersoll Avenue, or by Drake Stadium on game days. Your lunch order helps those owners pay employees, source fresh Iowa ingredients, and keep their wheels spinning year-round.
Choosing a truck is also a win for the planet. Compared with traditional buffet lines, food trucks run lean: smaller kitchens mean lower energy use, and single-order service slashes leftovers. Many of our Des Moines partners separate compostables for Metro Waste Authority’s “Compost It!” program and serve with plant-based utensils to keep landfills lighter.
So the next time your production manager Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the chafing dishes and let Best Food Trucks line up a fleet of local favorites. You’ll treat your cast and crew to unforgettable meals, boost the Des Moines economy, and keep your set as green as the Iowa State Fairgrounds in August.

The fries were perfect! Very crispy and delicious. The chicken was tasty but a bit tough. There were so many orders - both online and walk-up - that they may have been a bit overwhelmed.
