Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Set
Whether you’re shooting along the Des Moines River, in a converted warehouse in the East Village, or out at the iconic Salisbury House grounds, Best Food Trucks delivers studio food truck catering in Des Moines that keeps cast and crew fueled and on schedule. Our team has fed everything from indie productions to national commercials on Court Avenue, so we know how to keep Hawkeye State appetites happy without slowing down the call sheet.
We’ll partner with your production manager to build rotating daily menus, map the best service spots for quick walk-ups between takes, and streamline online ordering so your 1st AD never has to shout “Lunch is up!” twice. Every vendor is fully vetted for Polk County health permits and insurance, and you’ll get a clear cost breakdown that respects any studio budget—whether you’re a startup film collective or a Netflix-sized shoot.
Looking for authentic local flavor? Roll up to:
- Tacos Degollado – Street-style Mexican fare that rivals your favorite holes-in-the-wall on University Avenue.

Backing Des Moines’ Home-Grown Food Truck Scene
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just the quickest way to feed a hungry crew—it’s a direct investment in the city’s small-business heartbeat. Most trucks that park along Fleur Drive or line up at Western Gateway Park are run by Polk County families who prep, cook, and serve every order themselves. Your production dollars stay right here in the Metro, paying local suppliers, mechanics, and farmers instead of disappearing into a national conglomerate’s ledger.
Food trucks also fit Des Moines’ push for greener sets. A single truck sips far less power than a conventional kitchen trailer, and many vendors follow Metro Waste Authority compost and recycling guidelines, meaning fewer trash runs back to the studio lot. Reusable service baskets, corn-based utensils, and digital menus keep waste down and your sustainability report looking sharp.
So when the call sheet says “crafty needed” and you’re typing studio food truck catering Des Moines into your phone, remember: hiring a truck is delicious, eco-friendly, and gives a leg up to the entrepreneurs who make our city flavorful. Drop us a line and we’ll roll up with a socially responsible spread that fits any production budget.

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.

It was the best gluten-free pizza I've had since New York City and the chocolate Dubai dessert was amazing. I hope they come to Starkey ranch again soon!!

Once home, we discovered that we weren't given the broth that was to accompany the Birrias or the sauce and limes that were to accompany the tacos. Disappointing...
