Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Offices

Imagine a sizzling, made-to-order lunch rolling right up to your building on Locust Street or the Principal campus: that’s the power of food truck catering for offices in Des Moines. Instead of yesterday’s chafing-dish buffet or a mad dash to Merle Hay Road for fast food, our rotating fleet of local trucks functions as an on-site, full-service kitchen. Your staff enjoys fresh gourmet meals without ever leaving the office, boosting morale and productivity while eliminating travel time and traffic risks along I-235.

Best Food Trucks partners with many of the metro’s favorite mobile chefs, giving you a menu lineup as diverse as the bustling Downtown Farmers’ Market. Craving authentic street tacos? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza for hand-pressed tortillas and bold Mexican flavors that rival anything on East Grand Avenue. Looking for a plant-powered option to please the wellness crew at Wells Fargo? Veggie Thumper serves vibrant, Iowa-grown produce that keeps everyone energized through the afternoon meeting.

Our industry-leading scheduling platform lets Des Moines office managers browse available trucks, confirm service dates, and lock in per-head budgets in minutes—perfect for recurring Tech Tuesday lunches in the Financial District or a one-time employee appreciation event at Jordan Creek. From permits and parking near Pappajohn Sculpture Park to real-time support while the line forms, our catering specialists handle every logistic before, during, and after service. Upgrade your corporate dining experience today with the most convenient, crowd-pleasing food truck catering Des Moines has to offer.

Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses

When you book food truck catering for your Des Moines office, you’re doing more than feeding the team—you’re investing in the neighborhood. Most of the trucks that pull up along Walnut Street or park outside Nationwide on 10th Street are run by solo chefs, husband-and-wife duos, and first-generation owners who live right here in the 515. Every taco, bao, and BBQ slider keeps dollars circulating from the skywalks downtown to the shops in Beaverdale, strengthening the local economy one lunch hour at a time.

Food trucks are also a greener choice for corporate catering. Because the kitchen is already on wheels, trucks use less energy than a traditional off-site commissary, and many of our Des Moines partners source produce directly from area farms in Polk and Dallas counties. Compostable serviceware and small-batch cooking mean less landfill waste than the typical drop-off buffet your office has outgrown.

So the next time someone on Slack types “corporate catering near me,” give them a better answer: Best Food Trucks. We’ll match your office with an eco-friendly, locally owned truck that turns lunch into a community win. Click below, lock in your date, and taste how good supporting Des Moines small businesses can be.
