Hot, Customizable Studio Meals in Des Moines—Ready When You Are!
When a production sets up in Des Moines—whether you’re shooting B-roll on Court Avenue, staging a scene by the Iowa State Capitol, or building a full soundstage in the East Village—reliable, delicious studio food is a must. Best Food Trucks specializes in studio food truck catering in Des Moines, bringing years of on-set experience to your film crew catering needs. We’ll coordinate everything: rotating daily menus, optimal service locations that won’t block grip trucks, streamlined online ordering and pickup, vendor permitting and insurance, plus a clear cost summary that keeps you on budget.
Looking for crowd-pleasing options? Des Moines crews love authentic Mexican flavors from our local partners like El Taco Guapo, Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, and Taqueria La Esperanza. Each truck can customize menus to keep talent, crew, and P.A.s energized through long shoot days.
Food truck catering isn’t just tasty—it’s eco-friendly. Individual ordering means less food and packaging waste, a big win for sustainability goals on set. Let Best Food Trucks handle mealtime logistics for your Des Moines studio production so you can focus on getting that perfect take.
Fueling the Des Moines Economy—One Food Truck at a Time
Booking a food truck for your Des Moines studio shoot doesn’t just keep cast and crew happy—it keeps money right here in the 515. Every taco, smashburger, and vegan grain bowl you buy puts cash in the hands of home-grown entrepreneurs from Beaverdale to the South Side. Most of our partner trucks are family-run outfits that source ingredients from Iowa farms, so your craft-services budget circulates through local suppliers instead of disappearing out of state.
Food trucks also check the sustainability box that more and more productions require. With energy-efficient kitchens on wheels and made-to-order portions, trucks generate far less food and packaging waste than buffet tables or disposable box lunches. Fewer generators humming behind the grip trucks on Grand Avenue means a smaller carbon footprint for your shoot—and happier neighbors.
Ready to combine great studio food with social responsibility? The next time you Google “low-budget film catering in Des Moines,” let Best Food Trucks line up a fleet that feeds your set and strengthens the local economy.

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!
