Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools
From Friday night football at Drake Stadium to lunchtime on the East High School quad, Des Moines students and teachers are always on the move. Nothing fuels that Cyclone-state energy better than a lineup of local food trucks parked right on campus. Best Food Trucks is the leading choice for food truck catering for schools in Des Moines, delivering fast, flavorful meals without the cafeteria wait.
Whether you’re planning a PTA fundraiser in Beaverdale, a Homecoming celebration at Roosevelt High, or daily lunch service for Des Moines Public Schools, our streamlined online ordering system lets kids and faculty skip the line and pick up their meals in minutes. We handle all scheduling, health permits, and menu coordination so your staff can focus on learning, coaching, and cheering—while we handle the cooking.
Looking for crowd-pleasing local favorites? We partner with central Iowa’s most popular trucks:
- Tacos Degollado – authentic street-style tacos that make study hall feel like a fiesta.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – grilled al pastor and sizzling carne asada perfect for post-practice dinners.
- Ninas Tacos – fresh-pressed tortillas and house salsas that keep lunchtime lines buzzing.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – birria and quesabirria favorites that score big with hungry athletes.
- Veggie Thumper – plant-powered bowls and wraps that make even Hawkeye carnivores rethink lunch.
From gluten-free options to vegan delights, we ensure every Bulldog, Maroon, and Jayhawk finds something delicious. When you book through Best Food Trucks, you’re not just feeding a crowd—you’re giving Des Moines schools a dining experience as memorable as a sunset over the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
