Des Moines Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events
Whether you’re filling the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, kicking off a 5K at Water Works Park, or packing Principal Park for a summer concert, the right food keeps crowds energized and smiling. Best Food Trucks is the one-stop solution for large-scale event catering in Des Moines, Iowa.
Forget the old days of pop-up tents, tangled power cords, and marathon set-up times. Today’s food trucks arrive as self-contained commercial kitchens, rolling in, firing up, and serving hundreds of guests in minutes. That means shorter lines, faster service, and happier Hawkeyes and Cyclones alike.
We partner with some of Des Moines’ most popular mobile eateries to offer menus that fit every taste and dietary need. Bring the heat with authentic Mexican street fare from Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza, or keep things plant-powered with the crowd-favorite Veggie Thumper. From handcrafted tacos and birria to vegan bowls bursting with local produce, we’ve got your menu covered.
Best Food Trucks handles everything—scheduling multiple trucks, coordinating permits, setting up cashless ordering, and ensuring smooth service from the first inning to the encore. So whether you’re hosting 500 runners or 15,000 festival-goers, trust the experts in Des Moines food truck catering for large events. Tell us your headcount and location, and we’ll park the perfect lineup right where you need it.
Skip the Line and Savor the Moment at Your Des Moines Large-Scale Event
From the first guitar riff at 80/35 to the final lap of the Dam to DSM half-marathon, attendees want to focus on the action—not stand in line for lunch. Best Food Trucks’ Des Moines-based online ordering system makes that possible. Guests browse menus from our food trucks on their phones, tap to order, and get a text when their pork tenderloin sandwich or vegan grain bowl is ready for pick-up. No long queues, no lost time—just more memories made at your event.
Planning a Saturday at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or a packed night at the Lauridsen Amphitheater? Send a pre-order link with ticket confirmations and let crowds choose a precise pickup window before they even arrive. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, so whether you’re feeding 500 riders at RAGBRAI’s Des Moines stop or 20,000 fairgoers on the Grand Concourse, every transaction is smooth and fast.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines meets next-gen tech—giving you happier guests, shorter lines, and rave reviews for your festival, race, or corporate gathering.

Hello, I missed my pickup because I got held up at work. That’s my fault. Would it be ok to get my order next time Magic Hibachi are at the PCT buildings? I’d be fine with that if they are.

I love everything about the balsamic strawberry salad; all the right ingredients and the right portions. I appreciate that I can easily get my mouth around the grilled sandwiches and they are not too greasy when picking up. If course they taste great too!

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.
