Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From summer concerts at Water Works Park to corporate expos at the Iowa Events Center, Des Moines knows how to host a crowd. The secret ingredient? Incredible food. Gone are the days of flimsy tent kitchens and mile-long extension cords. Today’s large-scale events rely on food truck catering—self-contained commercial kitchens that roll up, fire up, and feed thousands without missing a beat.
Best Food Trucks partners with the city’s most talked-about mobile eateries so every guest leaves raving about your menu. Want melt-in-your-mouth al pastor tacos? Book Tacos Degollado. Need West-Coast-style birria for your beer garden in the East Village? Tacos La Barca D.C. has you covered. For handmade tortillas and Midwest charm, invite Ninas Tacos. Late-night carne asada cravings at a Drake University block party? Taqueria La Esperanza never disappoints. And if your crowd includes vegans—or just health-conscious Cyclone and Hawkeye fans—the vibrant Veggie Thumper bus dishes out plant-based bowls that even carnivores love.
Whether you’re planning a 20,000-person festival at the Iowa State Fairgrounds or a 5K finish-line celebration along the Des Moines River, we tailor a fleet of trucks to match your headcount, dietary needs, and service-time goals. Best Food Trucks handles route logistics, permitting, and on-site coordination, ensuring fast lines, hot meals, and happy guests.

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.
