Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
Whether you’re packing Water Works Park for the summer concert series, filling Principal Park for an Iowa Cubs game, or turning Court Avenue into a block party during the 80/35 Music Festival, one thing is certain—great food keeps crowds happy. Best Food Trucks makes food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines simple, fast, and unforgettable.
Gone are the days when event planners had to wrangle tent vendors, extra power drops, and endless health-permit paperwork. Today’s modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens that meet City of Des Moines regulations, set up in minutes, and head out just as quickly when the music stops. From the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fairgrounds to a corporate picnic in the shadows of the Pappajohn Sculpture Park, our fleet serves fresh, hot meals while keeping lines moving.
Best Food Trucks can curate a whole lineup that reflects the flavor of central Iowa. Craving authentic street tacos? We’ll park local favorites like El Taco Guapo, Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza side-by-side so guests can taste their way through Des Moines’ best Mexican food on wheels.
Whether your crowd numbers 500 or 50,000, we handle scheduling, POS integration, and real-time line management, giving you a stress-free experience and your attendees the variety they expect. For large event catering in Des Moines that’s fast, flavorful, and totally turnkey, Best Food Trucks is the choice event coordinators trust.
Skip the Line at Des Moines’ Biggest Gatherings
Nothing kills the buzz at the Drake Relays, a Hy-Vee INDYCAR Race weekend, or Fourth of July fireworks at Gray’s Lake faster than a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with a cutting-edge online ordering system built for large-scale event catering in Des Moines. Guests simply scan a QR code, choose their meal from any truck on site, and get a text from our system—often before “In Heaven There Is No Beer” finishes playing over the PA.
Because every order is prepaid and time-stamped, trucks stay in motion and foot traffic keeps flowing down Locust Street. Planning ahead? Send a pre-order link with your ticket confirmation so fans can lock in a 6:15 p.m. pickup before the Iowa Cubs’ first pitch. Our platform was stress-tested at the Iowa State Fair, so it can easily handle thousands of simultaneous orders without breaking a sweat—something old-school punch-card systems just can’t do.
For food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines, pairing our hometown fleet with Best Food Trucks’ online ordering means you deliver exceptional eats while attendees stay focused on the music, the game, and the good times in the 515.

Food was amazing. Chef Yarwood clearly knows what he is doing. The steak tips with mushrooms and onions as well as the Mac and cheese were truly delicious. I will definitely be ordering again in the future.

Good pizza! I love the crust and the garlic is over the top! Suggestion: allow me to add sausage and extra basil to the base white pizza without adding red sauce.😉

I found the cheese pizza to be salty and the margherita pizza needed more tomato sauce. The cauliflower crust was good as was the balsamic vinaigrette.

I was home and didn’t plan on going back out. I got a pop up that the Melt Machine was a few minutes away. I placed an order and left my house for a grilled cheese and tots! LOVE the Melt Machine!!!!

The sandwich and salad combination is a good value: whole sandwich and large salad. It was also very tasty.

The food was delicious. For the price it would have been nice to have an egg roll in the plate. But it was really good.
