Food Truck Catering for Fundraisers in Des Moines
Nothing brings Central Iowans together faster than great food and a great cause. Whether your charity 5K wraps up at Gray’s Lake, your silent auction fills the ballroom at the Science Center, or your booster club is rallying outside Drake Stadium, Best Food Trucks delivers turn-key food truck catering for fundraisers in Des Moines that keeps guests happy and donations flowing.
Instead of juggling menus, chasing down late private chefs, or worrying that the hot food will turn cold on the chilly banks of the Des Moines River, partner with the pros who manage mobile kitchens every single day. Best Food Trucks secures the permits, syncs arrival times, and powers our digital ordering platform so supporters can place an order on their phones and get a text when it’s ready—no long lines, no confusion, just satisfied donors with more time to bid, mingle, and give.
Want local flavor that shouts “DSM”? Tap into Des Moines’ love affair with authentic tacos and tortas:
- El Taco Guapo – a Farmers’ Market favorite famous for fire-roasted salsas.
- Tacos Degollado – crowd-pleasing al pastor that disappears faster than butter sculptures at the Iowa State Fair.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – birria tacos that’ll make your donors forget they’re on the East Village bricks, not the streets of Jalisco.
- Ninas Tacos – fresh-pressed corn tortillas perfect after a lap around the Riverwalk.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – late-night legends outside Principal Park, now serving your charity gala.
Each truck brings its own crew, commercial kitchen, and 5-star reviews, while we supply the scheduling wizardry and on-site support. From West Des Moines corporate charity golf outings to neighborhood PTA carnivals in Beaverdale, our streamlined system cuts costs, eliminates stress, and boosts the “fun” in fundraising.
Ready to turn your next Des Moines fundraiser into the tastiest ticket in town? Reach out to Best Food Trucks and let us curate the perfect lineup. You concentrate on hitting that donation goal—we’ll handle the tacos, timing, and smiles.
Skip the food line—keep your Des Moines fundraiser front and center
Best Food Trucks’ contact-free online ordering system lets your guests cheer on the paddle raise, snap selfies with the CyHawk trophy replica, or bid on a Terrace Hill tour instead of wasting time in a queue. Supporters simply pull out their phones, browse every truck parked at your event, and tap to purchase. The moment their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is plated, they’ll get a text and stroll right up—no herding, no loudspeaker announcements, just pure “Iowa nice” efficiency.
Running a charity bags tournament outside Principal Park? Send a pre-order link with pickup windows so players can grab lunch between rounds. Hosting a wine-walk fundraiser at Jasper Winery? Schedule appetizers to be ready the minute doors open. Wherever your cause sets up—Valley Junction, Historic East Village, or a West Des Moines cul-de-sac—pairing food truck catering for fundraisers in Des Moines with mobile ordering keeps attention (and wallets) on the mission while we handle the kitchen.
Food trucks + online ordering = the easiest, tastiest, and most profitable way to run a fundraiser in Des Moines—zero extra work for you, maximum satisfaction for your donors.

I hosted an office event that was made wonderful by having Poblanos Taco Truck! The food was DELICIOUS and they were set up to serve 40 people very efficiently. Every one loved the food. Jonathan and his collegue were so friendly! Big Hit! Highly recommend.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

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.😉

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!!!!
