Hot, Customizable Meals in Des Moines—Ready When You Call “Action”!
If your production is rolling cameras anywhere in the Des Moines metro—whether it’s a feature shoot downtown near the historic East Village, B-roll along the Des Moines River, or a TV pilot out by Gray’s Lake—Best Food Trucks has studio catering covered. Our food truck catering for studios in Des Moines keeps your crew fueled, on-time, and happy.
We’ll work side-by-side with your production team to build rotating menus that fit every dietary need, schedule meal breaks around lighting setups, and stage the trucks so they’re accessible even if you’re tucked deep inside the skywalk system or parked at Principal Park. From permit pulls to insurance verification, we handle the paperwork so you can stay focused on the shot list.
Imagine the entire cast diving into street-style al pastor from El Taco Guapo, savoring carne asada from Tacos Degollado, or grabbing veggie-packed tacos at Tacos La Barca D.C.. Round out the spread with crowd-friendly options from Ninas Tacos and the legendary birria of Taqueria La Esperanza. Every truck we recommend is fully vetted for local health codes and carries the insurance your studio requires.
Ordering is simple: crew and talent place their meals through our online portal, pick up their names when the lunch bell rings, and get back to set with zero downtime. Food truck catering also keeps Des Moines green by slashing food and packaging waste compared with traditional buffet services.
Let Best Food Trucks remove the guesswork from studio catering in Des Moines. We’ll provide transparent cost breakdowns that keep you on budget, menus that wow even the pickiest eaters, and the kind of “Iowa Nice” service that makes your entire production run smoother.
Supporting Des Moines’ Small Businesses—One Food Truck at a Time
Every time you roll a food truck onto your Des Moines soundstage, you’re doing more than feeding the crew—you’re investing in the city’s vibrant small-business scene. Most of the trucks we book for studio food truck catering in Des Moines are family-owned rigs that you’ve seen parked at the Downtown Farmers’ Market, along Ingersoll Avenue, or by Drake Stadium on game days. Your lunch order helps those owners pay employees, source fresh Iowa ingredients, and keep their wheels spinning year-round.
Choosing a truck is also a win for the planet. Compared with traditional buffet lines, food trucks run lean: smaller kitchens mean lower energy use, and single-order service slashes leftovers. Many of our Des Moines partners separate compostables for Metro Waste Authority’s “Compost It!” program and serve with plant-based utensils to keep landfills lighter.
So the next time your production manager Googles “low-budget film catering near me,” skip the chafing dishes and let Best Food Trucks line up a fleet of local favorites. You’ll treat your cast and crew to unforgettable meals, boost the Des Moines economy, and keep your set as green as the Iowa State Fairgrounds in August.

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.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

The last sure times I've placed a order the burrito has been busted open on one or both sides. Other than that, it's been delicious.

All of it! The egg rolls are delicious, the vegetables and rice are so good. The sauces and adding the fork were the perfect additional touch.
