Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Set
Whether you’re filming aerial shots of the golden Iowa State Capitol dome, staging a scene along the Des Moines Riverwalk, or locking down a soundstage in nearby Ankeny, Best Food Trucks delivers seamless food truck catering for studios in Des Moines. Our veteran team handles everything—building rotating daily menus, scouting the best serving spots on-lot, streamlining mobile ordering and pickup, confirming every vendor’s permits and insurance, and presenting a clear cost analysis that keeps your production on budget. By choosing Des Moines food truck catering, you’ll also reduce food and packaging waste, helping keep the Heartland green while you capture the perfect take.
Need proof that we know local flavor? Check out some of the metro’s most popular trucks ready to roll onto your set: savor sizzling birria and street tacos from Tacos Degollado, classic al pastor from Tacos La Barca D.C., or late-night carne asada from Ninas Tacos. Mix things up with Michoacán-style carnitas at Taqueria La Esperanza, or keep plant-based talent happy with the soulful vegan fare at Veggie Thumper. From the bustling streets of the East Village to pop-up studios near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Best Food Trucks is your one-stop solution for studio catering in Des Moines.
Fueling Des Moines Dreams & Small Businesses
Booking Des Moines food truck catering for your studio set does more than satisfy hungry cast and crew—it keeps our city’s home-grown businesses rolling. Nearly every truck we partner with is a family-run operation that picked up its start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market on Court Avenue or the summer nights in Valley Junction. When you circle one onto a backlot near Gray’s Lake or a soundstage in Ankeny, you’re pouring revenue straight back into the metro’s entrepreneurial scene instead of a distant corporate kitchen.
Food trucks also fit the “Iowa Nice” approach to sustainability. Compared with traditional buffet lines, a truck’s compact kitchen draws less electricity, sends fewer pans to the landfill, and often features farm-to-set ingredients sourced from Polk County growers. That means your production can tout eco-friendly practices while everyone polishes off seconds of brisket or vegan grain bowls.
So the next time someone on the call sheet searches “low-budget film catering Des Moines” or “studio food truck near me,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers a plate of local pride along with every order. Hit us up, feed the crew, and keep the Heartland’s small businesses thriving—one take, and one taco, at a time.

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.

I got the cheesesteak combo. It was pretty good. Fries were a bit too crunchy and overcooked for my liking.

the burger from Badass Burger Buggy was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Even after bringing it home it was still hot which made it taste even better. Nikki's Sweets are always very good and we like trying a new dessert each time.
