Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines:
Whether you’re planning a birthday party at Gray’s Lake, a company picnic at Easter Lake, or a wedding reception with skyline views of downtown, food truck catering for events in Des Moines is the easiest way to keep guests smiling (and well-fed). Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that once lined the Iowa State Fairgrounds—complete with miles of power cords and lengthy health-department inspections—today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. Setup is as quick as pulling into your reserved spot, so you can focus on the music, the décor, and that gorgeous Des Moines sunset.
Best Food Trucks partners with the city’s favorite mobile chefs, giving you more variety than the stands at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Craving carne asada after a long day at the 80/35 Music Festival? El Taco Guapo has you covered. Need late-night birria tacos for a reception in the East Village? Book Tacos Degollado and watch the dance floor light up. For a family reunion at Water Works Park, guests can sample fluffy quesabirrias from Tacos La Barca D.C., street-style favorites from Ninas Tacos, or authentic al pastor straight off the trompo courtesy of Taqueria La Esperanza.
From outdoor movie nights on the steps of the Iowa Capitol to corporate luncheons at Principal Park, food truck catering for events in Des Moines delivers flavors your guests will talk about long after the last bite. Book through Best Food Trucks, and enjoy transparent pricing, real-time truck tracking, and a local support team that knows the difference between Beaverdale and Bondurant. Your perfect Des Moines event starts with the perfect meal on wheels—let’s get rolling!
Skip the line, Des Moines—dig into the fun faster!
Nothing kills the vibe at a birthday bash in Water Works Park or a corporate mixer at Capital Square faster than a long lunch line. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests can soak up every minute of the event—no standing around staring at the menu board. They simply tap in their order on their phone, stroll back to the bean-bag toss or the Des Moines skyline photo booth, and get a text alert when their pork belly bao or smash burger is hot and ready.
Hosting a tailgate before an Iowa Cubs game at Principal Park? Send a pre-order link the night before so fans can lock in a pickup time and have their food waiting when the gates open. Planning a Friday-night fundraiser on Court Avenue? Let supporters schedule their late-night queso fries in advance and keep the auction paddles moving. Food trucks plus mobile ordering is the Des Moines way to keep the focus on live music, lakeside sunsets, and team-building—not on waiting in line.
Book your Des Moines food truck catering with Best Food Trucks today, enable online ordering, and give attendees the freedom to enjoy the event while still scoring exceptional local eats.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)
