Hot, Customizable Meals for Your Des Moines Studio Crew
Whether you’re filming a commercial in the Historic East Village, shooting a streaming series near the Des Moines River, or recording sound at a warehouse in Valley Junction, Best Food Trucks delivers food truck catering for studios in Des Moines that keeps cast and crew happy—and on schedule. Our team has spent years feeding film sets, so we know how to build rotating daily menus that fit tight call sheets, Iowa’s unpredictable weather, and every dietary request you can throw at us.
From spicy street tacos to vegetarian bowls, we partner with the city’s most popular mobile kitchens. Looking for authentic al pastor that rivals Court Avenue’s best? Try El Taco Guapo. Craving hand-pressed tortillas loaded with flavor? Tacos Degollado has you covered. For salsa that makes even lifelong Iowans say “¡más, por favor!”, book Tacos La Barca D.C.. Need a late-night snack between takes? Ninas Tacos rolls up fast. And when your crew wants traditional recipes straight out of Jalisco, Taqueria La Esperanza never disappoints.
We’ll scout the best parking spots on set, streamline online ordering and text-ahead pickup, verify permits and insurance with the City of Des Moines, and provide a clear cost breakdown that keeps your production accountant smiling. Food truck catering also slashes waste—no chafing dishes, no disposable trays, just fresh meals cooked to order. Let Best Food Trucks handle your studio’s catering in Des Moines so you can stay focused on nailing the next shot instead of worrying about lunch.
Backing Des Moines’ Own Small-Business Stars
Every time you book food truck catering for a studio in Des Moines, you’re keeping the metro’s creative energy—and its dollars—right here at home. Most of our partner trucks are run by solo chefs or family teams who got their start at the Downtown Farmers’ Market or on a side street in Beaverdale. Your production’s lunch break helps them pay staff, rent kitchen space, and keep their rolling kitchens rolling all year long. That’s a wrap everyone can cheer for.
Food trucks also make eco-sense on set. With smaller kitchens and cook-to-order menus, they burn less fuel and ditch the mountains of disposable pans you see with traditional buffet catering. Fewer generators humming in the background means your sound engineer can breathe easy, too. So the next time your AD searches “low-budget film catering near me,” lock in a socially responsible win: book Best Food Trucks and taste how Des Moines does sustainable, small-business flavor.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sandwiches were great- sauces were really good!- coleslaw perfect for sandwich topping. Mac and cheese was terrible.

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

The last sure times I've placed a order the burrito has been busted open on one or both sides. Other than that, it's been delicious.

All of it! The egg rolls are delicious, the vegetables and rice are so good. The sauces and adding the fork were the perfect additional touch.

It was so fun having the truck at our wedding! The truck arrived on time, people were served quickly, and the person working the truck was so kind and accommodating. We loved taking photos with the truck with our photographer and we got sent with lots of leftovers at the end of the night. All our guests continue to rave about the ice cream sandwiches!
