Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From summer concerts at Water Works Park to the Friday night fireworks outside Principal Park, big gatherings in Des Moines share one secret ingredient—amazing food truck fare. Gone are the days when organizers had to fuss with tented kitchens, extra permits, and hours of set-up. Today’s modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, plug-and-play power, and menus that wow Hawkeye State appetites.
Best Food Trucks connects event planners with the top local vendors in the metro, giving your guests more choices than the food stalls at the Downtown Farmers’ Market. Need sizzling tacos for 5,000 Cyclone fans or plant-forward bites for a wellness expo at the Iowa Events Center? We’ll curate a fleet that fits your crowd size, cuisine preferences, and on-site logistics—then handle every detail from arrival scheduling to service flow.
Check out a few crowd-pleasers we frequently book for large-scale events in Des Moines:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street tacos that turn any tailgate into a fiesta.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Known for birria and loaded quesadillas that pack Cyclone-worthy flavor.
- Ninas Tacos – Fresh-pressed tortillas and house-made salsa make this truck a Drake favorite.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – Crowd-pleasing al pastor carved right off the trompo.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-powered bowls and wraps that even meat-lovers line up for at Western Gateway Park.
Whether you’re hosting a corporate picnic along the Des Moines River or a 10K after-party in the East Village, trust Best Food Trucks—the city’s go-to partner for food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines. We’ll keep the lines moving, the plates full, and your attendees raving long after the last song plays.
Skip the Line at Des Moines’ Largest Events
Nothing kills the buzz at the World Food & Music Festival or a home opener for the Iowa Cubs like a 40-minute food line. Best Food Trucks solves that headache with an online ordering system built for high-volume crowds in Des Moines. Guests pull out their phones, choose their favorite truck—whether it’s smoky brisket from South Side BBQ or vegan power bowls from Veggie Thumper—and keep enjoying the show at Water Works Park while their meals are prepared.
Here’s how it works: organizers share a custom link ahead of time or display a QR code on-site. Attendees tap in, schedule a pickup time, and get a text the moment their order is ready. No jostling in queues, no missing the headline act, no paper tickets to lose in the breeze coming off the riverfront.
For large-scale events in Des Moines, this system shines. It can process thousands of orders per hour, perfect for RAGBRAI’s overnight stop or a 10K finish festival in the East Village. Best Food Trucks’ online ordering keeps lines short, revenue high, and the focus right where it belongs—on your event.
Food truck catering for large-scale events in Des Moines plus our seamless mobile ordering platform equals happy guests, smooth logistics, and rave reviews. Let Best Food Trucks handle the eats so you can headline the experience.

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience
