Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Neighborhood Events

Whether you’re organizing a Beaverdale porch party, planning family night at Gray’s Lake Park, or coordinating a National Night Out gathering in Sherman Hill, you shouldn’t be stuck worrying about food. Best Food Trucks makes neighborhood catering in Des Moines effortless, treating your guests with the same “Iowa nice” hospitality you’d expect at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Forget chasing down private chefs who may no-show or dealing with under-seasoned casseroles—our food trucks roll in on time, fully stocked, and ready to impress.

We handle the logistics, permitting, and menu planning so you can focus on live music, bean-bag toss, or chatting with neighbors about last weekend’s Cyclone–Hawkeye score. From Drake University block parties to South Side community clean-ups, our streamlined digital ordering system keeps lines short and tempers cool. One truck or five, 50 guests or 500, we scale to fit your street.

Some crowd-pleasing Des Moines favorites we can dispatch to your curb:

  • Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican tacos that taste like a quick road-trip to Guadalajara.
  • Tacos La Barca D.C. – Sizzling al pastor and handmade tortillas that keep East Village foodies talking.
  • Ninas Tacos – Street-style classics perfect for a late-summer block bash in Beaverdale.
  • Taqueria La Esperanza – Flavor-packed birria and more, ideal for warming up a brisk fall tailgate.
  • Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered eats that even your meat-loving uncle will Instagram.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!
