Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re throwing a tailgate outside Jack Trice Stadium, hosting a wedding reception along the Des Moines River, or setting up a company picnic at Water Works Park, nothing energizes a crowd quite like Des Moines food truck catering. Best Food Trucks brings fully licensed, self-contained mobile kitchens to your venue, eliminating the need for clunky tents, extra generators, and hours of setup. We make sure the only thing you have to worry about is enjoying the party.
Des Moines event planners love the freedom a truck lineup provides. From big summer concerts at Lauridsen Amphitheater to holiday markets in the East Village, our rotating fleet lets guests choose exactly what they’re craving.

Our platform lets you mix, match, and schedule trucks so every attendee finds a plate they love.
Here are just a few local favorites you can add to your next event lineup:
- Tacos Degollado – Crowd-pleasing Mexican street tacos that taste just as good at the Iowa State Fairgrounds as they do on Ingersoll Avenue.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Sizzling carne asada, al pastor, and fresh-pressed tortillas perfect for late-night festivals in the Court Avenue District.
- Ninas Tacos – A Drake Relays favorite, known for generous portions and homemade salsas that pack a Hawkeye-sized punch.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Authentic flavors from Jalisco served up hotter than a July afternoon at Principal Park.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that even meat-lovers line up for at Pappajohn Sculpture Park.

They were fabulous! They showed up early and was ready to serve food as our event started. The food was delicious and fresh! However, I am not sure there were options for rice and beans. I would recommend them!

This truck was a SMASH hit with our attendees. They even brought in their alternate truck in order to offer an extended menu. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

This truck was a hit with our attendees. What a bummer their fryer died halfway through the event. Thankfully Thai Lao brought in a second truck to fill the void.
