Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Des Moines
From the roar of the crowds at the Drake Relays to the music echoing across Water Works Park, Des Moines knows how to put on a show—and locals expect the food to be just as memorable. Modern food trucks make that easy by rolling in as fully self-contained commercial kitchens, no extra tents, generators, or marathon setup times required. When you choose food truck catering for a large event in Des Moines, you give guests fast lines, fresh meals, and a uniquely Iowa experience.
Best Food Trucks curates the city’s top mobile chefs for festivals at Pappajohn Sculpture Park, corporate gatherings in the East Village, tailgates outside Principal Park, and, of course, those massive Iowa State Fair–adjacent parties. Whether you want upscale fusion or crowd-pleasing street tacos, we’ll assemble a lineup that keeps thousands of hungry Iowans smiling.
Need proof? Check out a few local favorites we frequently book for large-scale events:
- Tacos Degollado – Authentic Mexican street eats that pair perfectly with a cold local brew on Court Avenue.
- Tacos La Barca D.C. – Known around town for juicy al pastor and late-night energy after downtown concerts.
- Ninas Tacos – Hand-pressed tortillas and sizzling carne asada just like abuela makes.
- Taqueria La Esperanza – A Des Moines staple for fresh salsas that turn any festival into a fiesta.
- Veggie Thumper – Plant-forward comfort food that keeps Herb N’ Lou’s crowd-pleasers friendly for vegans and vegetarians.
Whether you’re feeding 500 at a corporate picnic or 15,000 during the Des Moines Arts Festival, Best Food Trucks is the city’s one-stop solution for large event catering. Let us handle permits, scheduling, and on-site logistics while you focus on the music, the art, and those big Midwestern smiles.

All food was great. Boom boom shrimp was especially good. Cook was understaffed but did a remarkable job under pressure. Kudos.

Friendly, family like service and delicious pasta! I also appreciate the dressing for the Caesar salad being put on the side, so salad does not get soggy.
