From birthday bashes in Beaverdale to graduation blowouts near Drake University, party planners in Des Moines know the pressure of keeping guests happy—and fed. Skip the crowded kitchen and the post-event cleanup by choosing food truck catering for parties in Des Moines.

Our Des Moines party food truck catering service pairs you with local pros who can handle everything from a small gathering in the East Village to a 200-guest soirée along Gray’s Lake.

Plus, you’ll earn instant street cred for serving up some of the metro’s favorite flavors.

Check out a few fan-favorite Des Moines food trucks you can book through Best Food Trucks:

  • Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that taste like they came straight from a late-night stand on Court Avenue.
  • Tacos La Barca D.C. – Famous for juicy al pastor and hand-pressed tortillas that keep the party line moving.
  • Ninas Tacos – Crowd-pleasing quesabirria and fresh salsas, perfect for a backyard Hawkeye watch party.
  • Taqueria La Esperanza – Family recipes that bring the heat, whether you’re celebrating on the South Side or near the State Capitol.
  • Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that prove Des Moines parties can be both delicious and healthy.

Birthday catering

Skip the line—let the food come to you, Des Moines-style!

Nothing kills a party in Des Moines faster than a long line—whether you’re tailgating outside Jack Trice Stadium or throwing a Sweet 16 in Waukee. Best Food Trucks solves the problem with our slick online ordering system made for food truck catering at Des Moines parties. Guests pull out their phones, tap in their order, and wander back to the bags tournament or the bonfire. When the truck at your party on Ingersoll Avenue or out in Ankeny fires up their grill and the food is hot, a quick text lets each guest know it’s pickup time—no crowding, no guessing, no FOMO.

Want even more Iowa efficiency? Send a pre-order link with your party invite so friends can claim a pickup window before they even park along Grand Avenue. From birthday cupcakes on Court Avenue to late-night tenderloins in West Des Moines, our system keeps lines short and spirits high. Food truck catering with online ordering is the easiest way to feed your Des Moines guests fast, keep the party energy up, and give you zero cleanup headaches.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
