Our team has years of on-set experience, so meal breaks stay on schedule and crews stay happy.
We collaborate with your production office to craft rotating daily menus featuring local favorites like the authentic Mexican street eats from El Taco Guapo, flavor-packed tacos from Tacos Degollado, the crowd-pleasing specialties at Tacos La Barca D.C., family-recipe bites from Ninas Tacos, and the beloved Taqueria La Esperanza.

Fueling Des Moines’ Independent Spirit
Booking studio food truck catering in Des Moines does more than satisfy hungry cast and crew—it keeps the city’s small-business engine humming. The trucks that pull up to your soundstage come from neighborhoods you know: a Beaverdale couple smoking ribs over Iowa oak, a Drake alum slinging bánh mì in the Historic East Village, a Valley Junction family rolling tamales from Grandma’s recipe. Every plate served keeps dollars circulating right here in the 515.
Instead of sending your craft-services budget to a national chain, you’ll be paying local farmers for sweet corn and pork, funding the next makeover of a vintage step-van, and giving West Des Moines high-schoolers their first hospitality jobs. It’s Des Moines studio catering that gives back.
Food trucks are also the eco-friendly choice for on-location productions. Smaller, energy-efficient kitchens mean a lower carbon footprint than traditional buffet setups, and right-sized cooking slashes food and packaging waste. Many of our partner trucks even compost through Metro Waste Authority programs—so your shoot stays green from Gray’s Lake sunrise to Court Avenue nightlife.
Ready to roll cameras—and food? The next time you type “studio food truck catering Des Moines” or “low-budget film crew meals near me,” call Best Food Trucks. We’ll dispatch a locally owned rig that feeds your team, supports the community, and keeps your production on schedule and on budget.

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

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!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.
