Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools
From the buzzing hallways of Roosevelt High to the leafy campus of Drake University, Des Moines students and staff are always on the move. The quickest way to keep everyone fueled? A lineup of local food trucks parked right on campus. Best Food Trucks makes school food truck catering in Des Moines effortless—whether it’s a Friday night football game against the Valley Tigers, a Polk County STEM fair, or everyday lunch service for Des Moines Public Schools. Our streamlined online ordering platform eliminates the infamous “lunch rush” lines, so hungry Bulldogs and Scarlets can grab their meals and get back to class or the big game.
We know that Central Iowans value variety almost as much as they value Hawkeye football. That’s why Best Food Trucks partners with a diverse roster of local favorites. Craving authentic Mexican street eats? Book Tacos Degollado, Tacos La Barca D.C., Ninas Tacos, or Taqueria La Esperanza and watch the line form faster than you can say “¡Vamos Ciclistas!” Looking for a plant-forward option that even the Roosevelt Roughrider veg-heads will love? Veggie Thumper delivers vibrant, feel-good bowls and wraps that make healthy eating cool.
Best Food Trucks handles every detail—permits, schedules, and vendor selection—so your PTA, athletics department, or campus activities board can focus on creating memorable events. When you choose our food truck catering for schools in Des Moines, you’re not just serving lunch; you’re giving students and faculty a taste of the city’s thriving food scene without leaving campus. Let’s make your next school event the talk of the Metro with Best Food Trucks.
Matt,
Your Best Food Trucks crew knocked it out of the park for our Roosevelt High senior picnic and again at the Des Moines Public Schools STEM Expo. Parents, teachers, and our Roughriders are still raving about the food and how easy the online ordering was.
Thanks for proving—once again—that BFT is the go-to choice for school food truck catering in Des Moines!

Aloha Friday worked out great for us. It was easy for them to serve our 350 middle schoolers in less than 2 hours. We offered them 3 choices and the kids loved the Spam Musubi, Chicken Teriyaki and Spicy Tuna Bowl. I would definitely work with them again! The communication with using Best Food Truck to get to them was a little spotty but it all worked out in the end.
