Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the packed midway of the Iowa State Fair to summer concerts at Water Works Park, Des Moines knows how to throw a party—and nothing keeps the crowds happy like a lineup of local food trucks. Traditional tent kitchens once dominated big outdoor gatherings, but they required extra permits, generators, and hours of setup. Modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, serve faster, and roll out when the last encore or buzzer sounds. That’s why event planners all over Polk County are turning to Best Food Trucks for food truck catering for large scale events in Des Moines.
Whether you’re feeding 500 fans outside Principal Park, fueling athletes at the Drake Relays, or satisfying art lovers in the Historic East Village, we coordinate multiple trucks so every guest finds something they love. Craving local Mexican favorites? Pair mouth-watering al pastor from Tacos Degollado with slow-simmered birria from Tacos La Barca D.C.. Add street-style tacos from Ninas Tacos and the authentic flavors of Taqueria La Esperanza for a true metro taco tour. Need a plant-based option? Veggie Thumper keeps the veggie lovers thumping with fresh, colorful bowls.
No matter the venue—Brenton Skating Plaza, Lauridsen Amphitheater, or your own corporate campus—Best Food Trucks streamlines logistics, vendor management, and point-of-sale technology. You focus on the music, the game, or the fundraiser; we’ll keep Greater Des Moines fed. Book your food truck catering for large scale events in Des Moines today and see why locals say our service is “Iowa nice” at its tastiest.
Skip the Line at Your Des Moines Large-Scale Event
Whether you’re rocking out at 80/35, cheering on the Iowa Cubs at Principal Park, or browsing the Downtown Farmers’ Market, nobody comes to Des Moines to stand in a food line. Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering system lets your guests order right from their phones, pay in seconds, and get a text the moment their meal is ready. The result: shorter lines, happier crowds, and more time to enjoy the main event.
Planning a conference at the Iowa Events Center or a fundraiser at Jordan Creek Town Center? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can choose a pick-up window before the gates even open. Our platform was built for high-volume service, so it keeps up when the midway is packed and the Wi-Fi is humming.
Pair Des Moines’ favorite food truck catering for large-scale events with our seamless online ordering and watch the buzz shift from “How long is the wait?” to “Which truck should we try next?” Exceptional eats, no lines—that’s the Best Food Trucks promise.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
