Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From a Saturday tailgate outside Jack Trice Stadium to a packed summer night at the Des Moines Arts Festival, the biggest gatherings in Central Iowa all have one thing in common—fantastic food. Today, event planners across Des Moines are swapping old-school tent kitchens for modern food trucks with self-contained, fully licensed commercial kitchens. No extra generators, no fire-safety headaches—just quick setup, quick breakdown, and nonstop service for crowds of any size.
Best Food Trucks specializes in food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines, and we make it easy to keep everyone fed—from 500 runners at the Dam to Dam race to 5,000 fairgoers at Water Works Park. We’ll curate a lineup that fits your vibe and volume, whether you want hand-pressed burgers, wood-fired pizza, or sizzling street tacos straight off the griddle.
Speaking of tacos, Des Moines is loaded with local legends your attendees already love. Picture a row of brightly wrapped trucks on Court Avenue serving:
- El Taco Guapo dishing up carne asada and house-made salsas
- Tacos Degollado with its famous al pastor carved to order
- Tacos La Barca D.C. offering birria tacos perfect for dipping
- Ninas Tacos serving loaded nachos and street-style elote
- Taqueria La Esperanza rolling out late-night quesabirria for the after-party crowd

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

The Ice Dreammm Truck was a hit. Strawberry Shortcake was a favorite. The employees were very friendly.

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.
