Food Truck Catering for Des Moines Schools & Campuses
From the Drake Bulldogs on Forest Avenue to the Valley Tigers out in West Des Moines, nothing fuels students and faculty like a quick bite from a great food truck. Best Food Trucks makes “lunch bell” a lot more exciting by bringing an eclectic mix of Des Moines food truck catering options right to your campus. Whether you’re planning an elementary field day for Des Moines Public Schools, a Friday night football tailgate at East High, or daily lunch service at Grand View University, we line up the perfect trucks and handle every detail.
Our seamless online ordering platform lets busy students pre-order on their phones between classes, skip the line, and grab their meal in minutes—no more long waits stretching across the quad. Plus, with the broad network we’ve built in Central Iowa, you’ll always get a menu that fits every palate and dietary need, from vegan grain bowls to authentic al pastor tacos.
Here are just a few of the local favorites we can roll onto your blacktop or parking lot:
- Tacos Degollado – crowd-pleasing street-style Mexican favorites perfect for after-school events.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – known around town for sizzling carne asada and fresh-pressed tortillas.
- Ninas Tacos – a student favorite for birria tacos that taste like the Iowa State Fair, minus the lines.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – lunchtime salvation with vegetarian-friendly taco options.
- Veggie Thumper – Des Moines’ plant-based pioneer serving bowls and wraps that even carnivores crave.
The toughest part of scheduling school food truck catering in Des Moines is choosing the right vendors—but that’s our specialty. Best Food Trucks vets each local truck, coordinates permits, and creates a rotating schedule so your staff can focus on teaching, coaching, or cheering in the stands. We even provide detailed sales reports for PTA and booster-club fundraisers.
Elevate your next campus event with Best Food Trucks and give your students a dining experience they’ll talk about all semester long. When the bell rings in Des Moines, make sure the best food in town is waiting at the curb.
Matt,
Your team knocked it out of the park again this year. From East High’s homecoming tailgate to Drake University’s finals-week lunch rush, Best Food Trucks made food truck catering in Des Moines absolutely effortless. Students and staff are still raving about the pork-tenderloin sliders and walking tacos. Thanks for being a rock-solid partner!
