Food Truck Catering for Parties in Des Moines
From birthday bashes in Beaverdale to graduation parties near Drake Stadium, folks in Des Moines know that great food can make or break a celebration. Iowa weather can turn on a dime and kitchen space in a South of Grand bungalow is limited, so lugging in traditional caterers isn’t always practical. That’s why more hosts are choosing food truck catering for parties in Des Moines—your guests get fresh, made-to-order meals while you keep every inch of your home or venue mess-free.
Best Food Trucks is the go-to service for party food trucks in Des Moines. We handle all the logistics: scheduling, permits, and set-up, so you can focus on greeting friends, catching a Barnstormers game score, or snapping pics with the downtown skyline in the background. Our network features local favorites such as:
- El Taco Guapo – crowd-pleasing street-style tacos that taste just as good at Gray’s Lake as they do on Court Avenue.
- Tacos Degollado – authentic Mexican flavors perfect for late-night dance parties in the East Village.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – fresh-off-the-grill bites that pair perfectly with a local craft brew from the Des Moines Social Club.
- Ninas Tacos – scratch-made salsas and tender meats that keep guests lining up for seconds during backyard fiestas in West Des Moines.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – a fan favorite for graduation open houses just blocks from the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Each truck arrives self-contained with its own kitchen, power, and serving window, so your driveway, parking lot, or cul-de-sac turns into an instant pop-up restaurant. No pots to scrub, no tables to rent, and no worrying about keeping food warm—just hot, flavorful dishes served right when your guests want them.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

Showed up on time and very pleasant throughout. The food was fabulous. They served regular fries vs. asparagus fries, though we were not bothered by this. Would hire again.
