Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Neighborhood Events

Whether you’re the block captain planning a Beaverdale Porch Fest after-party, a program director lining up summer movies at Gray’s Lake, or a neighborhood association chair hosting a fall clean-up in the Drake area, great food should be the easiest part of the day. Best Food Trucks makes neighborhood food truck catering in Des Moines effortless, bringing the tastes locals love straight to your cul-de-sac, park shelter, or church parking lot. Skip the stress of tracking down no-show private chefs, juggling multiple menus, or dealing with long, confusing buffet lines. Our curated fleet rolls in ready to serve, so you can focus on the music, the raffle, or just kicking back with your neighbors.

Because we partner with some of Des Moines’ favorite mobile kitchens, every plate comes with local flavor and Iowa-nice hospitality. Craving street-style tacos after the Downtown Farmers’ Market? Book El Taco Guapo for carne asada that rivals anything on East Grand. Want authentic al pastor to spice up your Windsor Heights block party? Tacos Degollado has you covered. Hosting a big movie night in Ingersoll Park? Combine the bold bites of Tacos La Barca D.C. with churros from Ninas Tacos and watch the crowd light up. And for a family reunion near Principal Park, the crowd-pleasing menu from Taqueria La Esperanza means everyone—from little Cyclone fans to die-hard Hawkeyes—leaves happy.

Best Food Trucks is the industry leader in food-truck logistics, offering real-time online ordering, transparent pricing, and on-site support that scales from one truck on a quiet cul-de-sac to a full fleet at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Our platform eliminates complicated negotiations and surprise costs, while our digital queue keeps lines short and neighbors mingling.

So the next time you’re organizing a Des Moines neighborhood event—be it in Valley Junction, Highland Park, or anywhere in between—let Best Food Trucks roll in, fire up the grills, and turn your gathering into the tastiest spot in town.

Programming in the Park catering

Skip the line and enjoy your Des Moines neighborhood event!

With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your Beaverdale porch party or South of Grand block bash stays focused on fun—not waiting in line. Guests simply pull out their phones, place an order with their favorite Des Moines food truck, then get a text when it’s time to pick up. No queues winding past the bounce house, no crowding around the grill—just more time to cheer on the kids’ kickball game or catch up with neighbors you haven’t seen since last winter’s snowstorm.

Planning ahead? Send everyone a pre-order link so they can lock in a brisket sandwich from Smokey D’s or a vegan wrap from The Greenlee Food Truck for a specific pickup slot—before, during, or after the festivities begin. Food-truck catering plus mobile ordering is the smartest way to feed a Des Moines neighborhood crowd: exceptional eats, zero hassle, and absolutely no extra work for you.

Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)

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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
