Hot, Customizable Studio Meals in Des Moines—Ready When “Action!” Is Called
When a shoot is rolling in Des Moines, from the warehouses south of Gray’s Lake to a pop-up set in the East Village, timely food can make or break your day. Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for studio crews in Des Moines, bringing the city’s favorite mobile kitchens right to your base camp. We know the 515’s traffic patterns, the quickest routes to Western Gateway Park, and exactly where a truck can stage without blocking the grip truck.
Our team will collaborate with your production office to create rotating menus that keep cast and crew excited for every meal break. Craving authentic Mexican flavors between takes? We’ll line up local legends like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza. Need a plant-powered option for the lead actor? Veggie Thumper has you covered with fresh Iowa-grown produce.
Best Food Trucks handles everything: scouting the best service location on your lot, coordinating staggered pickup windows so the sound department isn’t stuck in line, verifying every vendor’s permits and insurance with the city of Des Moines, and delivering a crystal-clear cost analysis you can hand straight to accounting. Because food trucks cook to order, you’ll see less food and packaging waste—good for your budget and good for the environment.
From sunrise call times near Principal Park to golden-hour wrap shots by the Capitol dome, let Best Food Trucks remove the guesswork from mealtime. Trust the local experts in studio food truck catering in Des Moines, and get back to shouting “Quiet on set!” while we make sure the only drama happens in front of the camera.
Fueling Des Moines’ Small-Business Scene—One Food Truck at a Time
Choosing studio food truck catering in Des Moines does more than keep your cast and crew satisfied—it keeps our city’s entrepreneurial spirit rolling. Every truck you invite to set is a locally owned, family-run business, from the couple grilling smash burgers after a morning at the Downtown Farmers’ Market to the Beaverdale chef dishing out Korean BBQ from a refurbished postal step-van. Your catering dollars stay right here in the 515, supporting Iowa suppliers, fabricators, and the East Village shops that letter every colorful wrap.
Food trucks are also a win for eco-friendly film catering. Because meals are cooked to order, generators run less, food waste plummets, and you avoid the mountains of foil pans that usually pile up behind the grip truck. Many of our partner vendors operate on biodiesel made from Iowa soy and serve with compostable serviceware that Metro Waste Authority will gladly haul away.
So the next time you’re searching for “Des Moines film catering on a budget,” skip the soggy buffet trays and call Best Food Trucks. You’ll get hot, memorable meals, a lighter environmental footprint, and the satisfaction of boosting the local economy—proof that supporting small businesses can taste amazing, take after take.

I always love the taco nachos. This was the first time that we placed an order for the pulled pork Quesadilla. It did not disappoint in any way. It was delicious!!! We love The Nacho wagon!

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.
