Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools & Campuses
From Friday night football at East High to an outdoor lunch rush on Drake University’s picturesque campus, Des Moines schools know how to keep students moving. Best Food Trucks makes sure they stay well-fed too. We specialize in food truck catering for schools in Des Moines, bringing the city’s favorite mobile kitchens right to your campus so hungry Bulldogs, Bears, and Tigers never miss a beat.
Whether you’re planning a DMACC club fair, a Roosevelt Roughriders homecoming, or just need a rotating option for everyday lunch service, our platform connects you with the top Des Moines food trucks in seconds. Fan-favorite Mexican bites from Tacos Degollado, street-style tacos at Tacos La Barca D.C., and family-recipe goodness from Ninas Tacos keep carnivores happy, while the plant-forward crew lines up for flavorful bowls at Veggie Thumper. Craving even more variety? Taqueria La Esperanza brings the authentic taste of central Mexico to central Iowa.
Our best-in-class online ordering system eliminates bell-to-bell wait times. Students and faculty simply order from their phones, choose a convenient pick-up window, and get back to class, rehearsal, or practice in minutes. No cash handling, no confusion—just hot, fresh food right when they want it.
Best Food Trucks takes care of scheduling, permits, and vendor selection, ensuring you get the right trucks for every dietary preference—gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or traditional Midwestern hearty. All you have to do is tell us the date, location, and expected headcount. We’ll park, serve, and roll out, leaving your campus cleaner (and happier) than we found it.
Elevate your next Des Moines school event with the city’s most trusted food truck catering partner. Reach out to Best Food Trucks today and turn lunch, game day, or any campus gathering into an unforgettable dining experience.
Matt,
Your Best Food Trucks crew crushed it again this year! From feeding 1,500 hungry Scarlets at East High’s homecoming to keeping Hoover’s Friday-night crowd fueled through overtime, every Des Moines campus event ran without a hitch. Thanks for always making school catering easy and delicious.
