Hot, Customizable Meals for Des Moines Studios—Ready When “Action!” Is Called
Best Food Trucks has spent years feeding film crews across the country, and now we’re bringing that on-set expertise home to Des Moines. From fast-paced shoots at the Historic East Village sound stages to sunrise commercials along Gray’s Lake, our studio food truck catering in Des Moines keeps cast and crew fueled and happy.
We work hand-in-hand with production managers to build rotating daily menus that fit every palate and dietary need. Crave authentic Mexican street food? Book local favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza. Need a plant-based option for your vegan lead? Veggie Thumper has you covered with their flavorful veggie-forward dishes.
Our on-set concierge team scouts the best service locations—whether that’s the back lot at Capital City Studios or a pop-up kitchen in a parking lot off Merle Hay Road. We streamline ordering and pickup with our easy mobile platform, vet every vendor for City of Des Moines permits and insurance, and deliver a clear cost analysis that keeps your production on budget.
Choosing food truck catering for your Des Moines studio shoot slashes food and packaging waste, minimizes downtime, and turns meal breaks into a morale-boosting event. Let Best Food Trucks handle the logistics so you can stay focused on getting the perfect shot.
Supporting Des Moines Small Businesses—One Studio Meal at a Time
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines doesn’t just keep your cast and crew satisfied—it funnels dollars straight back into our city. Every time you park a truck outside a sound stage in Highland Park or on the back lot near the Iowa State Fairgrounds, you’re hiring a home-grown, family-run company. From the husband-and-wife team rolling tamales in Beaverdale to the Drake alum serving smash burgers in Valley Junction, Des Moines food truck owners are solo entrepreneurs who rely on film set catering jobs to keep their wheels spinning.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart choice for studio shoots. Because they cook on board, they draw less grid power than a traditional craft-services tent and produce fewer single-use pans and trays. Many of our local partners compost through Metro Waste Authority and source ingredients from the Downtown Farmers’ Market—so your production supports Iowa farms and meets the sustainability goals MidAmerican Energy loves to brag about.
The next time you type “low-budget film catering near me” or “studio food truck catering Des Moines” into your scout’s browser, let Best Food Trucks line up a socially responsible, flavor-packed solution. Great food, greener footprint, stronger local economy—that’s a wrap!

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.

Everything was very good as well as fresh. I think the burger could have used more seasoning but that is only a preference and not a negative.

The french fries were good but overly salty. . . The truck arrived an hour & half or more late after we already ordered and paid around 5:30! Customers were not notified of when they were arriving.

The service is consistently incredible and the flavor, fresheness and amount of food was perfect. I was craving tacos for weeks and knew I would be satisfied ordering from Moms Tacos!

Turkey wrap was fresh as well as the pasta salad. Many times the pasta salad is "wilted and soggy" via other venues; NoT the case with Livvi's--everything was perfect, including the hospitality!!

Everything was good. Cranberry's and nuts would have have been great in the chicken salad sandwhich. It was still very good! Loved the pasta salad
