Food Truck Catering for Parties in Des Moines
Planning a graduation bash in Ankeny, a milestone birthday in Beaverdale, or an engagement party overlooking Gray’s Lake? No matter where you gather in the 515, the quickest way to derail the fun is with lackluster food. Skip the burned-out buffet pans and crowded kitchen counters—invite a Des Moines food truck to roll up and serve instead! Best Food Trucks coordinates the top mobile kitchens in Central Iowa, so you get chef-driven cuisine, speedy service, and a spotless venue once the party’s over.
Our Des Moines party food truck catering keeps the prep, cooking, and clean-up outside, leaving you every square foot of indoor and patio space for dancing, photo booths, or that DIY Hawkeye-Cyclone cornhole tournament. Guests order fresh from the window, rave about the flavors, and you soak up the compliments without lifting a spatula.
Craving crowd-pleasing Mexican eats? Check out a few local favorites ready to cater your next party:
- El Taco Guapo – street-style tacos that turn any West Des Moines backyard into a fiesta.
- Tacos Degollado – legendary al pastor and late-night vibes perfect for East Village loft parties.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – birria tacos that’ll have your Jordan Creek coworkers coming back for seconds (and thirds).
- Ninas Tacos – fresh-pressed tortillas and vegetarian options that please mixed crowds in Sherman Hill.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – bold salsas and loaded quesadillas that spice up tailgates outside Principal Park.
Whether you’re hosting 30 friends or 300 coworkers, Best Food Trucks makes party catering in Des Moines effortless. Tell us the date, headcount, and location—from the Iowa State Fairgrounds to a South Side driveway—and we’ll handle scheduling, permits, and payment processing.

Skip the Line—Enjoy Your Des Moines Party!
When you book food truck catering in Des Moines through Best Food Trucks, nobody has to hover near the serving window wondering when their basket of bacon-jam burgers or pork tenderloin sliders will be ready. Our easy online ordering system lets guests pull out their phones, choose their meal, and stroll back to the lawn games at Raccoon River Park or the living-room karaoke in Valley Junction. They’ll get a text the moment their food is hot—no crowding, no confusion, just pure party vibes.
Throwing a Sweet 16 in Johnston or a company picnic at Water Works Park? Send out a pre-order link with the invitation so friends can lock in their pick-up time before the first bottle of Templeton Rye is uncorked.

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.
