Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re packing the Iowa State Fairgrounds, filling Water Works Park for 80/35, or hosting a tailgate outside Principal Park, the secret to a memorable Des Moines gathering is great entertainment paired with unforgettable eats. Modern food trucks make that easy. Instead of bulky tents that need extra permits, power drops, and hours of setup, Des Moines food trucks roll in with fully self-contained kitchens, ready to feed thousands within minutes of parking.
Best Food Trucks curates the city’s top mobiles so your festival, marathon, corporate picnic, or Drake Relays watch party gets a lineup as exciting as the event itself. From sizzling Mexican favorites like Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza to plant-powered bowls from local legend Veggie Thumper, we deliver variety that keeps lines moving and guests smiling.
Our team handles all logistics—permits, health department coordination, truck scheduling, and on-site management—so you can focus on headliners and hospitality. If you’re searching for “large scale event food truck catering in Des Moines,” you’ve found the pros who know the Metro. Contact Best Food Trucks today and let’s turn your next downtown block party or Grand Concourse celebration into the tastiest event in Iowa!
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Des Moines Energy
Nothing kills the buzz at a Hy-Vee IndyCar Race weekend or an outdoor concert at Lauridsen Amphitheater faster than a 30-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem for Des Moines hosts with a cutting-edge online ordering system tailor-made for large-scale events.
Your guests simply scan a QR code, choose from their favorite Des Moines food trucks—think bacon-wrapped dogs from Bacon & Eggs DM, smash burgers from Big Acai’s grill trailer, or vegan street fare from Veggie Thumper—and then get a text when their meal is ready. No standing around; more time catching a fly-ball at a Cubs game, cheering on the Bulldogs at Drake Stadium, or dancing on Court Avenue.
Planning a festival in Western Gateway Park? We’ll send you a pre-order link so attendees can reserve meals for a specific pickup window before gates even open. Our platform is battle-tested to handle thousands of simultaneous orders during Iowa State Fair Parade night, so high-frequency traffic is never a concern.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals happier crowds, faster service, and bigger smiles. Let your audience focus on the music, the marathon, or the marketplace—while we handle the grub.

Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

I love everything about the balsamic strawberry salad; all the right ingredients and the right portions. I appreciate that I can easily get my mouth around the grilled sandwiches and they are not too greasy when picking up. If course they taste great too!

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.
