Des Moines Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events
When Greater Des Moines throws a party—whether it’s the Des Moines Arts Festival on Court Avenue, a summer concert at Water Works Park, or thousands of fans filing into Principal Park—crowds expect the same thing: unforgettable food. Modern food truck catering makes that easy. Instead of the old-school rows of pop-up tents, fully self-contained food trucks roll in with commercial kitchens, shorter setup times, and the ability to serve hundreds of guests per hour.
Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food truck vendors for large-scale event catering in Des Moines. We handle the scheduling, health permits, insurance, and on-site logistics so you can focus on the entertainment. From gourmet fusion concepts to down-home comfort fare, our roster has the perfect fit for every palate and price point.
Craving authentic Mexican street eats? Add local favorites like El Taco Guapo, Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza. Their sizzling al pastor, handmade tortillas, and fresh salsas are crowd-pleasers at everything from 5K finish-line festivals in Gray’s Lake Park to corporate summer picnics in West Des Moines.
Whether you’re planning 500 guests for a Cyclone-Hawkeye viewing party or 5,000 hungry fair-goers at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Best Food Trucks is the trusted name for food truck catering for large events in Des Moines. Tell us the headcount, location, and vibe, and we’ll curate a lineup of local trucks that will keep your attendees happy and your event trending for all the right reasons.
Skip the Line and Enjoy Your Des Moines Large-Scale Event
Best Food Trucks makes feeding a crowd at Wells Fargo Arena, the Iowa Events Center, or a 4th of July bash along the Downtown Riverwalk completely hassle-free. Our cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests tap in an order on their phones, wander the Sculpture Park, and get a text the moment their meal is ready. No more 30-minute lines snaking through the concourse.
Planning a Saturday tailgate before the Cy-Hawk showdown? Send fans a pre-order link the night before so they can lock in a pickup time, grab their brisket sliders the second they arrive, and get back to chanting “Go State!” or “Go Hawks!” in seconds. The platform is built for volume—it seamlessly processes thousands of simultaneous orders, keeping big-ticket festivals, marathons at Gray’s Lake, and East Village block parties moving.
Food trucks for large-scale events in Des Moines plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals happy attendees, shorter lines, and more time to enjoy the 515’s best music, art, and sports. Let us handle the tech and the tacos so your event stays the star of the show.

excellent food!!! I did like being able to order online and then just go pick it up. The food had a great presentation to it. I didn't want corn so they left it out. I posted pictures of it on Facebook and everybody said it looks really good. It was super delicious!!

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

How fresh my sandwich still was even though I was late. Great flavor, and the lady who helped me with sauces was great. She had lovely service, and spoke to me by name.

Customer service, the food, the atmosphere. They stayed during a storm, on top of all that did I say the food was great? Because it's soo good!
