The Most Delectable Food Trucks in Philadelphia

West Ave Grille Jenkintown Restaurant and Food Truck

★★★★☆ 3.9 (366) • $$

"This is my second visit here. It is usually very busy and can have a long wait. Is worth it! Remember, it's BYOB, so come armed with your Proseco of choice.Waiters are attentive, and service is fast! My first time, I enjoyed the Southern Comfort and shared it with my husband, who chose the Surf and Turf grits. The southern comfort, a fried chicken breast atop well seasoned roasted potatoes and covered with gravy and served with a biscuit, was the better of the two dishes. The surf and Turf was delicious cheesy grits topped with brisket, crabcake, shrimp and lobster.This time I had a short stack with blueberries and a side of bacon. My husband had the chicken and waffles. We both enjoyed our meals but our first choices were the best."

Pitruco Pizza

"Omg. I don't have words. Completely stopped at this food truck on a whim during our walk tonight and we're blown away. The eggplant was AMAZING!! Run don't walk if you see this truck."

Taco Loco

★★★★☆ 4.3 (98)

"The best taco truck in the city of Philadelphia, I kid you not! I must have been here at least 3 times last week. The more taco places I ate at, the more Taco Loco stood out. The tacos here range from $2.50 to $2.75 and they load it with meat every time. My favorite was always the al pastor, their spicy pork marinated in pineapple tacos. The pork was packed with flavor and the pork fat helped caramelized the crust and crisp up the meat on the pan. The owner Carlos is just an awesome guy. He always served up my food with a smile. With the exception of maybe Blue Corn, I don't believe any other spots in the city can really compare to their al pastor tacos. Cheap eats, great service and absolutely delicious food, five stars. If you are going to order a lot however, make sure you call ahead, they are always busy so the wait can be long."

Calle Del Sabor

★★★★☆ 4.3 (78)

"The friends I was staying with a couple of weekends ago live right next to this establishment. The restaurant is a walk up window. You just go up, give your order then wait around for it to be made and handed to you. There is just one, cheap looking chair outside of the place for the patrons to sit and wait so when you come for your food just keep in mind that you most likely won't have anywhere to sit while waiting. I decided to order a three little pigs tacos (which comes with 3 tacos). And my friend ordered al pastor tacos (which also came with 3 tacos). Getting our food took around 10 minutes so the wait wasn't bad at all especially given it was a miserably hot day that day. The three little pigs tacos were filled to the brim of a large flour tortilla. It was also stuffed with meats, cheap queso, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. The flavor of the tacos was very Americanized (which is obvious from the ingredients used) and since it was such a large taco it just felt very overbearing and nothing to get too excited over. Additionally, I tried the al pastor tacos which were also not that good. There was just way too much sauce for the meat and just felt like the tacos were not satisfying. The quality that I experienced was also disappointing given all of the glowing reviews on here. All in all, this place was just ok."

Schmear It

★★★★★ 4.5 (69) • $

"Walked .5 Mile in search of some delicious breakfast bagels and this place did not disappoint! While the dining area is nothing to write home about per say, it is clean and more than sufficient for a largely take out venue. The excellent service and delicious food certainly makes up for any lack of dining ambience. I ordered both the Loxsmith and the Dragon and both were absolutely fantasticBagels were fresh and the fillings were plentiful and delicious. Will definitely come back the next time we visit Philly."

Sweet Aloha Bowls

★★★★☆ 4.3 (47)

"If you are a lover of Açaí bowls then this spot should be on your list. It is a great neighborhood spot for a healthy meal. You can order there and the bowls are prepared quickly by very friendly staff or you can order online and pick up. Online orders are easy and make it simple to customize your bowls."

Korea Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.2 (48)

"never actually been in person but if you're looking to order food, this stuff actually delivers pretty well to most of center city/rittenhouse with good flavorbeef birria tacos, quesadillas, and korean tacos were all great. order from their website to avoid most of the fees. they're punctual as well with deliveries (fulfilled by doordash I think)$19 pp after tax, tip, delivery fees."

La Chingonita

★★★★★ 4.5 (39)

"This is it. Birria tacos, hands down, best thing on the menu. A little pricey, but you're in Philly, what do you expect! Dip one of these bad boys in and enjoy your delicious meal. Don't forget some napkins."

KAMI Philadelphia

★★★★☆ 4.1 (44)

"This place is my go-to for grabbing a quick lunch during work. I always get the Kimchi Fried Rice with beef (you can also get chicken or tofu instead). For $7, it's a great deal. The portions are very generous with lots of kimchi and beef, topped with a fried sunny side up egg. It's very spicy but so good. I have tried the tteokbokki also, which is spicy and delicious too. I have dabbled in the other menu items a bit, like the bibimbap, but nothing is as satisfying as the kimchi fried rice. Totally recommend getting the kimchi fried rice here! For the price, you can't beat it. Like a typical food truck, they accept cash only. However, they recently started accepting Venmo! So that makes it a lot easier."

Bucks Gyro

★★★★★ 4.7 (26)

"This food cart sits at the corner of Street and Jacksonville Roads, just in the other side of Street Road, from the gas station entrance to Costco.Had seen it en route to Costco many times and finally stopped by for a try, as my packed salad was not really calling my name.$9 got me a wholly satisfying meal of chicken and lamb over rice with salad. It was fresh, full of flavor and just the right serving size. It was packed nicely with my sauces on the side, as requested.Conveniently, Visa, discover and some other cards are accepted. And, my receipt was emailed from square detailing my payment details. Note: unlike the downtown philadelphia carts, this doesn't come with a drink included."

A Quality Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (26) • $

"I'm always greeted with a smile and a "what can I get for you, sister?"The friendliest food truck in the area, big enough portions that I usually get a full meal and a little snack from it. Can customize what you order and they do it with a smile. It's in a great location with really good hours for those late dinners, and every time I walk on that corner, when I weigh the options of all the yummy places, the food truck usually wins out. Try the fish over rice, if you usually get chicken, it's fried and delicious. They give you a drink with your food and are always clean. White sauce is tangy and I drench my chicken over rice in it, and the hot sauce is a good balance of flavors and slight spice. Try it next time you want some street food. Even the cheesesteak is classic!"

La Catrachita Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4 (28)

El Amiguito Taco Mobile

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"I always kick myself for forgetting this reliable truck is so close to me. The sandia agua fresca is divine in this hot weather. Today I picked up a solid carnitas quesadilla. It was ready quickly, though you can always call ahead. Need to grab a torta next."

Nafi Food Express

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14) • $

"I had biryani. Chicken and lamb. Extra spicy. My nose was running from the spice and that was what I wanted. Lol. This was good. I actually called my order in and picked it up. Everything is made to order."

Tony Express

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"Finally decided to try this truck through Ubereats. Zero complaints. The chicken and rice are really good."

La Sarten Express Food

★★★★☆ 3.6 (17)

"Really tasty tacos, Especially if it was the case that I was smoking weed. I really think that this is a solid food card even though I've only had one item on the menu. I just really am doing this yelp thing for free food because it's fun to get free food. Thanks and peace and love to all."

Flaming Basil

★★★★☆ 4.2 (12)

"Today while in University City I needed a quick bite to eat. I didnt want anything heavy, as I past this food cart the prices and menu caught my attention. I decided on the chicken on a stick it was 2 sticks of flavorful chicken garnished with red cabbage, shredded carrots and cucumbers. It also had a side of sweet chilli sauce. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. If I am in the area again I will stop past and venture out on the menu."

Goubaa Grub

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"Gouba Grub is the real deal when it comes to Mediterranean food. The platters are healthy and bountiful. They are so tasty you might want to pick up a few platters. The ingredients are always so fresh and that makes for a fantastic product. The staff is very friendly and professional, and they are very helpful in explaining what is included in every dish. I stop by when they are parked on Bustleton Ave. right off of Cottman Ave. If you haven't checked them out yet you don't know what you're missing. Yes it is a food truck but you will receive a restaurant quality meal and for a reasonable price at that. I would not steer you wrong. You need to check these guys out if you are looking for a quick, affordable, homecooked meal. There is plenty of parking in the lot right behind the truck so it is quick in and out."

Flatbelly Veg

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Went here with my wife for lunch. Small place with a few seats outside. Very helpful and friendly staff. Owner is amazing with what he can do, ordered the cheesy beef sandwich and I don't think I've had a better sandwich, it was perfectly made. Wife had the tofu bahn mi sandwich which was equally as delightful. The flavors and textures from both sandwiches were amazing. First time here and really wish one was closer this is a sure hit for everyone."

Los Jimenez Mexican Food

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7)

"Delicious mexican food at a great price and from the friendliest people on campus! I always make a stop there while on campus! Remember to get there early so you don't have to wait to long!"

Sooo Delicious Soul Food Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (13)

"I stopped by Sooo Delicious to pick up some dinner on the way home from work. I was surprised to see a sign on the door that there was no seating inside, and then even more surprised when I walked in and saw a sign saying no refunds. Certainly, no good restaurant would put up a no refund sign. Many restaurants are actually happy to refund a bad meal. Very odd... It was also very warm inside, as I was there on a nice weather day. Not the best first impression. I ordered the fried chicken wings, with greens and mac & cheese as my sides. I added a slice of 7Up cake for dessert. At first I was told there was no more cake left, but I was pleasantly surprised for a change when minutes later I was told they have the cake.I rushed home so that I could eat my meal while it was still warm. The fried chicken was delicious. Perfectly fried to have that crunch when I bit into it. It was well seasoned and juicy. The greens and mac & cheese were just average though. I've had it better at many black family dinners. The 7Up cake was a nice sweet ending to the meal. I would get the wings and cake again, but switch up the sides.Sooo delicious has protentional but there is still some work to do, both on the inside of the restaurant so that people can eat inside and with the food, to elevate it to that 4 or 5 star level. I am rooting for them, as I would love to have really good soul food within walking distance of my condo."

Rock ‘N Flavors

★★★★☆ 4 (7)

"LOCATION HAS CHANGED: 429 SOUTH STREET!!! This is a solid food spot. I highly recommend stopping by and spoiling yourself if you find yourself strolling down south street for a concert or a drunk night out. My homeboy got the salmon cheesesteak and made It disappear in about 5 minutes (I didn't get a chance to sneak a piece ). Judging off that alone, I know that It was a fire sandwich. However, I did get a chance to try the sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were insanely good. You know that sugary gravy that you find on sweet potatoes/yams when you pull them out the oven? The fries had had a hint of that yam sauce on it, the perfect mix of sweet, salty, and savory. I had the beef sliders. They were decorated with a lite coating of parmesan and parsley. I opted for the sweet firecracker style sauce instead of putting traditional ketchup on the sliders. I highly recommend experimenting with the different sauces. The seasoned curly fries were great as well and was lightly coated with parmesan too. I could have used a bit more curly fries though.The owner is a cool dude, he blessed me with an extra water when I was parched. Much appreciated!! I'm definitely going to be back for the shrimp and crab fries!!!"

Sizzle

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Ample parking areaBest to call in and place your order but if not you have an area to sit and wait. Workers are friendly and helpful when placing order."

Halal Taste

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"THE BEST HALAL CART In all of Philadelphia! Fresh, fast and tasty! I usually get the chicken over rice, but have migrated to the falafel sandwich which could not be better."

Penn Halal Gyro

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"I found myself here after having a meeting nearby, and I just liked the look of the truck and figured why not. There were so many options but I choose the kebab hoagie. Took a good 10 minutes and came with a soda at a nice $8 price point. My sandwich had so much flavor! The nice taste of hot a cold ingredients (the hot kebab vs the cold lettice, tomato, etc) was pleasant. The spicy sauce was pretty tasty and not uncomfortably spicy. The only thing I wish i did was eat the whole sandwich in one sitting because it didn't reheat well. and the sauce soaked the bread. Otherwise, a very good quick meal."
