Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting a commercial downtown near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park or filming a series along the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks delivers studio catering Des Moines crews count on. Our team has fed productions at Iowa Public Television, Drake University sound stages, and indie sets in the East Village, so we know how to keep cast and crew fueled and on-schedule.
We’ll partner with you to build rotating daily menus that satisfy everyone from vegan grips to taco-loving talent. Imagine starting Monday with the plant-powered comfort food of Veggie Thumper, then rolling into Tuesday with authentic street-style carnitas from Tacos Degollado. Mid-week, spice things up with Tacos La Barca D.C., treat the night crew to handmade tortillas from Ninas Tacos, and close out the week with the crowd-pleasing flavors of Taqueria La Esperanza.
From scouting the best parking spot on Ingersoll Avenue to streamlining online ordering and rapid pickup, we handle every detail. We vet each vendor for permits and insurance, minimize food and packaging waste, and provide transparent cost analyses that respect your production budget. When Best Food Trucks manages your film crew catering in Des Moines, mealtime is one less scene you have to direct.
Fueling Des Moines Studios—and the Local Economy
Booking food truck catering for your Des Moines studio set does more than keep the talent happy—it keeps Central Iowa’s small-business community thriving. Nearly every truck we deploy is owned by a Beaverdale neighbor, a Valley Junction family, or a recent DMACC culinary grad chasing the Hawkeye dream. When you hire one of these rolling kitchens, your catering budget circulates right back into local farms, suppliers, and storefronts from Court Avenue to the Historic East Village. That’s studio catering Des Moines crews can feel good about.
Food trucks are also an eco-smart upgrade over chafing-dish buffets. Because they cook to order inside energy-efficient rigs and serve in compostable packaging approved by Metro Waste Authority, trucks slash food waste and shrink your set’s carbon footprint—perfect for productions that file green-initiative reports. So the next time you Google “low-budget film catering near me in Des Moines,” let Best Food Trucks roll up with a solution that feeds your crew, supports your neighbors, and protects the Iowa prairie we all love.

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.

They forgot one order of fries The young lady asked my name when I got to the truck so I gave her my LAST name. Apparently she wanted my FIRST name. I wish she had clarified that for me Our order was scheduled for 6:30. I got it at 6:44. Not terrible but a notification would have been nice

Had a little bit of a difficult time telling which taco was which without picking through the tacos to see what meat it was. Offer diet sodas or more variety. They need chips and salsa!
