Hot, Customizable Studio Meals for Des Moines Productions
From the soundstages tucked behind the Des Moines River to that pop-up set near the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, Best Food Trucks keeps Central Iowa film crews fueled and on schedule. We specialize in studio food truck catering in Des Moines, delivering piping-hot, fully customizable meals that fit the tightest call sheets and the pickiest palates.
Our local team will create rotating daily menus, identify the best service spots—whether that’s curbside on Grand Avenue or a gravel lot out by Norwalk—streamline online ordering and pickup, and make sure every vendor carries the proper Polk County permits and insurance. You’ll also receive a detailed cost analysis that protects your budget while reducing the food and packaging waste traditional craft services generate.
Want authentic street tacos between takes? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza for Mexican flavors that rival anything on East Grand. Need vegetarian power bowls before a late-night shoot? Veggie Thumper rolls in with plant-based goodness locals rave about at the Downtown Farmers’ Market.
Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime for your Des Moines studio production—so you can stay focused on capturing that perfect Iowa sunset shot, not on what’s for lunch.
Fueling Your Shoot—and Des Moines Small Businesses
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines isn’t just the easiest way to feed cast and crew—it’s a direct investment in the metro’s vibrant small-business scene. Nearly every truck we dispatch, from the family-run “La Familia Panini” parked on Ingersoll to the husband-and-wife pastry pros at “Sugar Skull Treats,” is owned by local entrepreneurs who live, shop, and hire right here in Polk County.
Because food trucks cook to order inside self-contained kitchens, they use far less electricity and water than a traditional craft-services tent, and their streamlined menus cut disposable waste by up to 40%. Translation: you’ll wrap the day knowing you fed the team incredible meals and kept our beautiful Des Moines River greenbelt a little cleaner.
So the next time the call sheet reads “Company move from Highland Park to the East Village,” skip the bland boxed lunches. Search “studio food truck catering Des Moines,” tap Best Food Trucks, and give your production a locally sourced, eco-friendly boost that tastes as good as it feels.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

The bottom bun where the meat was put on top of was completely mush. Had to just eat it with a fork but it was very tasty!

Food was pretty good. People seemed to like the BBQ nachos. The wait time was a little long.

Michael was fantastic! He was on time, his set up was easy and clean, and he was hilarious (all our guests loved him!). The food was great and there were plenty of choices, so something for everyone's taste (I had guests who were both gluten and dairy free, so this was great!). The portion sizes were also very generous, no one left hungry! Highly recommend!

Portions were back to normal and the food was so good this time around. Been a while since I last got food at the truck but I try to get them every time I come around. Last time disappointed me a tiny bit but this time they blew it out the park. Thank you so much, look forward to the truck coming back on the 14th!
