Food Truck Catering for Events in Des Moines
From the buzzing East Village to the riverfront lawns at Water Works Park, Des Moines knows how to throw a party— and every great party needs unforgettable food. Modern food truck catering makes it simple: rather than juggling pop-up tents, extra permits, and bulky generators, you can roll in a fully self-contained kitchen that’s ready to serve in minutes. If you’re planning an event in Des Moines, renting a food truck is the fastest way to add local flavor, shorten setup time, and keep your guests talking long after the lights of the Iowa State Capitol dome fade into the night sky.
Best Food Trucks partners with an amazing lineup of local favorites so you can match the menu to your crowd. Craving authentic street tacos for a Gray’s Lake fundraiser? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch the salsa lines form. Need plant-based comfort food for a Drake University alumni mixer? Veggie Thumper has you covered. From gourmet fare to casual handhelds, our Des Moines food truck fleet satisfies every taste and every budget.
Concerts at Lauridsen Amphitheater, neighborhood block parties in Beaverdale, tailgates before an Iowa Cubs game—wherever your event happens, food truck catering in Des Moines delivers convenience and crowd-pleasing variety. Reserve your truck today and let Best Food Trucks handle the cooking while you focus on creating memories.
Skip the line, Des Moines—dig into the fun faster!
Nothing kills a good time at the Iowa State Fairgrounds or a Downtown Farmers’ Market bash faster than a long food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that with our mobile-friendly online ordering system built for Des Moines events. Guests tap in their order from their phone—whether they’re strolling along Court Avenue or cheering at Principal Park—then get a text the moment their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan mac is ready for pickup. No standing around, no missing the band’s encore or the next cornhole toss.
Planning a corporate picnic at Raccoon River Park? Email out a preorder link so employees can choose a guaranteed pickup window before they ever leave the office. Hosting a wedding reception at the historic Rollins Mansion? Let guests schedule desserts between toasts. Food trucks plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering keeps the spotlight on your Des Moines event while serving up the city’s best eats—hot, fresh, and right on time.

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!
