Hot, Customizable Meals for Every Des Moines Studio Shoot
From fast-moving indie sets in the East Village to national commercials filming along the Des Moines River, Best Food Trucks has spent years perfecting studio food truck catering in Des Moines. We’ll coordinate rotating daily menus that keep your cast and crew energized, pinpoint the easiest parking spots near your soundstage—whether that’s at Iowa PBS in Johnston or a converted warehouse in Valley Junction—and streamline online ordering so meals are ready the moment the director calls “break.”
Our local vendor team carries full permits and insurance, and we provide a clear cost analysis that fits within the tightest production budgets. Because food trucks prep to order, you’ll see far less food and packaging waste—an easy win for eco-friendly shoots. Let Best Food Trucks remove the mealtime guesswork so you can focus on getting the perfect take.
Check out some crowd-pleasing Des Moines favorites ready to roll up to your studio:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that keep the crew coming back for seconds.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Famous for their sizzling al pastor and homemade salsas.
- Ninas Tacos – Fresh-pressed tortillas and bold Midwest-Mex flavors.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Hearty burritos and quesadillas perfect for late-night shoots.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that satisfy vegan and gluten-free diets alike.

Fueling Des Moines Studios and Small Businesses Alike
Booking a food truck for your shoot at Copper Creek Studios or that pop-up set in the Historic East Village does more than keep the call sheet on schedule—it keeps the Des Moines small-business engine running. Every truck we send is owned by a local family who probably started at the Downtown Farmers’ Market and still shops daily at Capital City Fruit or the Valley Junction farmers’ stands. When you choose studio food truck catering in Des Moines, your budget goes straight back into the community, supporting Iowa growers, bakers, and butchers.
Food trucks are also a sustainability win. Their self-contained kitchens draw far less power than a traditional buffet tent, and our partners serve with compostable plates that won’t clog up the Metro Waste landfill off Vandalia Road. Several rigs even run on biodiesel pressed from Iowa-grown soybeans—talk about locally sourced fuel!
So, the next time you’re searching “affordable film set catering Des Moines,” remember that Best Food Trucks delivers more than hot meals. We deliver a socially responsible, eco-friendly way to keep your cast and crew happy while lifting up the very city that makes your production possible.

I always love the taco nachos. This was the first time that we placed an order for the pulled pork Quesadilla. It did not disappoint in any way. It was delicious!!! We love The Nacho wagon!

We did a pre order online and didn't know the burgers came with fries - not an issue just something that would be nice to know because we ordered additional fries then

Freshness. Crispy oinion rings and fries. Burgers were perfectly built. Only critique would be on the pricey side.

Food is 10/10. I look forward to ordering every time it's by the office. The staff working the truck are so kind too.

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.
