Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re packing the Iowa State Fairgrounds, filling Water Works Park for a summer concert, or turning the Court Avenue District into a block party, the right food lineup can make or break your Des Moines gathering. Today’s event planners are ditching bulky tent kitchens for the speed and self-contained convenience of food trucks. With rolling commercial kitchens, trucks pull in, power up, and start serving in minutes—no extra permits, generators, or overnight build-outs required.

Need sizzling street tacos for a Friday night at Principal Park? We’ll roll in Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza to keep lines moving faster than a Drake Relays sprint. Looking for a plant-powered option for a wellness festival at Lauridsen Amphitheater? Veggie Thumper has you covered with fresh, locally sourced favorites.

Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests order straight from their phones and get a text the moment their meal is ready. They can grab a pork tenderloin sandwich or a scoop of Black Cat Ice Cream without ever missing a guitar solo or an inning.

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.

Amazing burgers and great value! True smash burger that gives that burger feel. Comeback sauce took it over the top 11/10

It was amazing! Loved the sauce and the chicken and how the chicken was prepared. Wish I had a few more veggies but otherwise loved it. Thanks

Papa Arepas was a big hit at my office. They arrived with plenty of time to set up, food ordering on their digital kiosk was easy and convenient, and the food was superb! We will definitely be having them back.

The listing should specify that addition of ranch in the boom boom wrap will come as a little container instead of being added into the wrap. Also, the wrap was cut with aluminum foil on it which resulted in fragments of aluminum in the wrap.

The staff was super friendly. We were looking forward to the fresh cut fries but they were cold. The burger buns were super fresh.
