Skip the Line—Let Your Des Moines Party Shine!
Ever waited for a pork tenderloin at the Iowa State Fair? Those lines move slower than traffic on I-235 at 5 p.m. With Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system, you’ll never put your friends through that at your own event. Guests pop open a link on their phone, choose their eats, and get a text when it’s hot and ready—no hovering by the truck, no guessing when the queso birria will be done.
Hosting a backyard tailgate before the Cyclones–Hawkeyes kickoff? Fire off a pre-order link the night before so neighbors can claim a pick-up time that won’t clash with the coin toss. Throwing a birthday bash at Raccoon River Park? Let the crowd order in real time while they kayak, then stroll up when their phone buzzes. Food truck catering for parties in Des Moines has never been this smooth.
The result: zero lines, zero stress, and nothing but praise for the host who served restaurant-quality grub without lifting more than a finger. With Best Food Trucks, your guests keep their focus where it belongs—on celebrating—while we handle the food, the timing, and the tech.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

Showed up on time and very pleasant throughout. The food was fabulous. They served regular fries vs. asparagus fries, though we were not bothered by this. Would hire again.
