Halal Food Special

★★★★★ 4.8 (9)

"I have never head an issue buying a delicious chicken and rice halal meal at this truck. The price, also, is always right, especially in this area where you typically pay an arm and an a leg for lunch. $5-6 dollars for a meal, including a drink? Who can beat that? And... the people here are super nice!"

Sizzle

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"I have to second what someone else said, this pizza from Gopuff also made me and my girlfriend sick. It doesn't taste terrible, but isn't really worth the cheap price if it messes with your stomach."

Rio Brazilan Steak Truck

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"Easily one of the best food truck secrets in all of Philadelphia, for now?When I first read that the slightly unknown food truck was going to be in attendance during the Connie's Ric Rac 10 Year Anniversary Show, I instantly checked their website and had my minds eye flowing with meat perfection! And upon seeing the execution I have to consider the closest thing possible to having Fogo De Chao within a food truck! In fact it comes from a Brazilian born chef who spent time working in Fogo, Chima, and Na'Brasa (https://foodjunkets.com/2014/07/31/new-brazilian-steak-truck-coming-soon-to-philly/). So it goes without saying that he knows a thing or too about full on carnivore glory!Unless you're vegetarian/vegan, when you find yourself looking at a menu filled with sirloin, rib eye, sausage, chicken, and kebob options, for $10, it's easy to find yourself craving all of the above. Especially if you catch its scent as its being intricately cooked upon a hand turned spit rotisserie style (Inside the food truck!), and have the bulk of those meats served sandwich style with either lettuce/tomato/onion, or a good sized chunk of pineapple that's also cooked a bit upon the spit.Upon seeing the menu options my mind was singing to it Freddie Mercury style (https://youtu.be/hFDcoX7s6rE)! But with clearer reading the true winner turned out to be the Leme, which had the most succulent chunks of chicken that I've ever had, WRAPPED IN BACON, and stuffed into a flaky and slightly toasted roll alongside a good sized chunk of that aforementioned pineapple. And it goes without saying that that sandwich gods were smiling down upon me that afternoon!For now (Change request submitted!) this listing is perfectly misleading since Rio Brazil(ian) is a food truck and not a steakhouse, and 34th & Market is supposed to be where they're parked during the week when their not catering or doing special events. But if you're a meat eating sandwich lover who sees this truck (Facebook may help - https://www.facebook.com/riobraziliansteaktruck), do yourself a favor and get some!"

iPho

★★★★☆ 4.3 (20)

"Sometimes you expect to find great food in great and expensive restaurants or go in the search of a decent lunch to restaurant. Sometimes food trucks have great pictures and a lot of buzz but when you get their and order you are able to see that restaurants are in mortar and brick. In this case, I must tell you... It is NOT just hipe. This place delivers such great quality and quantity at a supper affordable price, almost everything in their menu is 6bucks. Which they should keep because is a great hook once you taste the food and realize that is truly amazing. This little food truck should definitely be in one of those food network episodes about food truck eateries."

Ramble Pizza

★★★★★ 4.8 (20) • $

"I'm hardly an expert on Pizza but I have been to Difaras in Brooklyn so I have the benchmark to compare any Pizza to. In Philly, nothing beats Beddia but getting a pie there is no small feat. If you want to get close to the Beddia experience, it's as simple as following Ramblepizza.com to see where they will be (coincidently sometimes parked just a few blocks from Beddia in Fishtown.)I ran into Ramble at the Wissahickon Brewing Co, this weekend and while I enjoyed the beers, the pizza really stood out. Kudos to Lauren and Ben for keeping it simple and focusing on making fantastic Pizza. Definitely a food truck to seek out."

Tang's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (20)

"The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Tangs's: Fresh. The second? Super friendly.I came across Tang's during my usual stake out of food trucks during lunch hour and decided to order a beef and broccoli over brown rice. What I was expecting was the run of the mill Chinese take out version of beef and broccoli: semi tough beef and overcooked broccoli swimming in grease and a large quantity of brown sauce. To my great delight what I got was the complete opposite - the beef was tender and the broccoli was a lively green and incredibly fresh. There was a light and just right amount of sauce and great helping of chili oil. The lady running the truck is so friendly, welcoming & nice (a stark contrast to the lady at Yue Kee). The wait is short and the prices are impressively cheap. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on their expansive menu!"

Tyson Bees

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."

New York Gyro Truck

★★★★★ 4.7 (95)

"Maybe this is irrational to say but the UCity food trucks were one of three things that kept me sane during my undergraduate career and to them I owe the world, much less a 5 star Yelp review. Yes, this was my first time at this particular truck and no, it wasn't distinct from any of the other halal trucks I've frequented, but hey. Cheap, quick, tasty, could probably last two meals but I was feeling woozy so I ate it all at once = all a girl can ask for. Thank you, I love you, and good night."

Ma Lessie's Chicken and Waffles

★★★★☆ 3.8 (94)

"I frequently work at the convention center in Philadelphia, right across from the Reading Terminal Market. I've explored nearly every food vendor within the market, but Ma Lessies consistently had lines stretching down the corridor. That level of popularity has to mean something special, yet due to my limited time, I never had the opportunity to wait in line--until yesterday.I can tell you now the hype is entirely real; Ma Lessies is nothing short of exceptional. The chicken is remarkably tender inside, boasting a delicious blend of flavors, and comes with a beautiful, crispy exterior. They fry basically everything--chicken, fish, cod, shrimp, and more--and each dish comes with a choice of one side. I've heard people saying that a single side is not enough, but for me, it was more than plenty.For my lunch, I got the chicken breast combo with their Mac and Cheese. Being a mac and cheese enthusiast, I can tell you that it was soooo good. I couldn't resist adding the cornbread to my order, and it lived up to my expectations--it's homemade, by the way, but be aware that it's an additional cost.Ma Lessies takes pride in crafting everything from scratch and preparing each plate to order, so be prepared for a bit of a wait during busy times. Nevertheless, I've learned a local's trick to avoid the long lines (which worked perfectly for me). The place opens at 11 AM, so arrive about 10 minutes early to secure your spot in line and get your food promptly. Despite not being a fan of an 11 AM lunch, the exceptional flavor of the food makes it entirely worthwhile.I'm eagerly looking forward to trying their Chicken and Waffles, which is, essentially, their signature dish."

Linda's Truck

★★★★★ 4.9 (19)

"This cart is run by a sweet couple. Great food options between classes. It's become the go-to place for food before, in between, and after classes. PLEASE USP/PCP/USciences (whatever the heck you want to call yourself), save Linda's Cart!"

Chez Yasmine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45)

"I was craving a bahn mi for lunch, but working in University City typically leaves me without any bahn mi options. Rather than venture into center city for my fix, I decided to wander around on campus at the lunch hour. I happened upon Chez Yasmine at 37th and Spruce in front of Vance Hall and was immediately excited to find tofu bahn mi on the menu, along with a number of other veg-friendly options. Woo, that was one spicy sandwich. I asked the food truck chef to go light on the spice and he obliged, but I also made the mistake of biting into one of the jalepenos. Yowza. It was delicious, overall. The spiced ground tofu, slices of cucumber and shredded carrots were nestled inside of a delightful crusty baguette. It was very nice, and I was especially excited to have a vegetarian sandwich to add to my work lunch options. I'll definitely come back and try out one of the other vegetarian options like the Gretchen quinoa salad or the Vegetarian Couscous. The owner/chef was very enthusiastic and warm. He took my picture for his facebook customer album and it made me feel very welcome."

Tacos El Rodeo

★★★★★ 4.7 (114)

"Everyone's got a taco truck they swear by, but very few have tripe, and even fewer put cheese on their tacos. Enter Tacos El Rodeo.Stopped by here on a remote work day (for legal reasons, during my lunch break) and opted for my safe bet when gauging a place: steak tacos and a jarrito soda to wash it down.She told me it would be a 10 minute wait and it ended up only being about half that. Steak was juicy and flavorful and I appreciate that they didn't dump a week's worth of cilantro and onion on it. Side salsas were tasty and spicy, but the melted cheese in the taco was the kicker. So few places do this and I don't know why. I know it's not tRaDiTiOnaL, but cheese makes everything better, let's be honest.It was pretty pricy for three tacos and a drink but I imagine that's just good ole' inflation these days (I don't get out much)."

Thai Jai Dee

★★★★☆ 4 (6)

"Love! Get it every time I see it. The owner is also soo kind! Highly recommend for a private event."

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!"

Halal Food Truck

★★★★★ 4.8 (25)

"I continue to be amazed by both the quality and quantity of food provided for less than $10! They even throw in a drink.This food truck offers sandwiches, platters over rice, or platters over salad (or a combination of rice and salad). I opt for the platter over salad every time, switching between lamb and falafel. They put white and hot sauce to your preference.I do not know there formal hours, but I typically catch them right before they pack up between 7 and 8pm. The cart is quick with extremely friendly service. Check them out!"

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."

Mommy Telly's Famous BBQ

★★★★★ 4.9 (19)

"This food truck really reminds me that there are good people left in this world! Jay is one of the most sweetest person ever! Once a month he has free food for anyone which, is something I didn't know until last week when me and my co-workers went to get some food. Not only does he do this but when you pay for the food vis Venmo he comments on everyone of them thanking his customers!The food itself is super worth it as well. There are two options either chicken which, is $5 or the pork which, is $6. The meal comes with water so you dob't have to worry about your beverage. On top of the meal you pick he offers to put onions and hot sauce which, is something I recommend because it just makes it taste 10 times better. The food is good and the customer service is fantastic!"

Bombay Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

This food truck is a must-visit for anyone who is a fan of Indian food, and the weekly specials only make the experience even better.The first thing that stands out about Bombay Kitchen Food Truck is the quality of the food.

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

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."

Lyn's

"This place is conveniently located and absolutely delicious! It's a regular must-hit for me anytime I'm in town. And Lyn is such a nice and friendly person - be nice to her and she'll be GREAT to you :)"

Moshava

★★★★☆ 3.8 (4)

"Moshava has been on my radar for a while from their popups at Herman's Coffee Shop, and when I saw them at Manayunk StEAT Fest, I shavad mo way through the crowds and got in line, and once I got my food all I wanted was mo to shava in my mouth! They were busy and looked a bit overwhelmed and it took a while to get the food, but it was so good! There were options of 3 bowls- shnitzel, falafel, and shwarma, priced at about $15-16 I think? All came with rice and chick peas, and there were other options for some sides like hummus, fries and tater tots. The best thing we got were the lamb pita pockets- highly recommend those and the sauce was so good! We also really enjoyed the shnitzel and lamb shwarma with bok choy. The green spicy zhug sauce was super spicy!This place israeli delicious, highly recommend following them on ig to find out where you can find them!"

King's Wok Chinese Food

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (20)

"This place is a gem and all the Chinese people know of its existence on the Penn/Drexel campus. For $3-$5 you can get a carton full of somewhat authentic (depending on the dish you order) Chinese food including a soft drink. It's really busy weekdays during lunchtime when floods of international students and/or asian health science professionals hoard this truck, so if you order then expect a 15 minute wait. They now take phone orders so you can avoid this dilemma. During non rush hour your food is ready within 2-3 minutes.A middle aged couple runs this truck, and they don't normally greet you with bright smiles and extraordinary etiquette; but you're an idiot if you expect great customer service from a food truck. You're paying them $3-5 for quick delicious food.. they don't owe you any extra smiles, and they can afford losing your business if you can't tolerate not being treated like a princess. In all honesty, they're just very neutral but that's understandable considering the level of stress. tldr; cut these people some slack and just order your food and leave.I'm surprised no one has contributed actual food photos of this place, so I guess I'll be the first."

Pink's Cold Treats

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Finally got to try another water ice vendor in the city! On a scorching hot day, the mango water ice hit the spot. My husband got a beef hot dog and enjoyed it as well as a blueberry water ice. The water ice is on par with Rita's. Don't expect bits of fruit like you get at Pop's. But you'll get an icy treat that is sure to please on a hot summer day in the city. There were several people working in the truck, so they had an efficient system so that folks weren't waiting long at all. Bonus points for having soft pretzels and pizza pretzels on offer as well. (It was just too hot for me to eat anything but frozen treats the day I visited them.)"

MexiCali

★★★★★ 4.5 (51)

"The Mexicali food truck is back. It's back, people. Oh, do you prefer the abundant burrito chains in West Philly? I'm sorry... do you even have taste buds?This place has a seriously creative menu. I'm a vegan and I can appreciate the incredibly long list of veg-friendly options (just hold the cheese to make them vegan). Today, on their grand re-opening day, I tried the new "Tofu Verde" burrito for $5. Everything on it is quality. From the deliciously fresh and soft tortilla, to the chewy marinated tofu, to the cilantro and onion, to the slow cooked wonderfully spiced beans. I inhaled it although the initial plan was to save half for later. My bad. But so worth it.I also highly recommend anything with sweet potatoes or guacamole. The vegetarian tacos are wonderfully spicy, packed with tofu and sweet potatoes and a great deal at $5."

D'Emilio's Old World Ice Treats

★★★★★ 4.6 (46)

"Excuse me! How dare you be this good?! The soft serve is perfect. One of the best in the city. The shop itself is small but accommodating. The staff is beyond amazing. We only ordered two sundaes and they presented them on a tray and handed them to us. They even offered to bring them out.Even more impressive, they have been extremely vocal about covid protections of customers and staff . Something I'm really focused on is how places treat employees. I can tell this is a healthy working environment. This is what I love about Philly businesses. Go to East Passyunk and just enjoy a memory on the street in these summer nights."

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."

La Catrachita Food Truck

Tacos Don Memo

★★★★★ 4.5 (211) • $

"If you ever lived in University City, you KNOW this is the best burrito and taco spot in the area. Even to this day whenever I visit University City, I HAVE to go and get myself Don Memos. The line for this food truck is unlike any other. I especially love the al pastor burrito. It's operated by two brothers / a family (I think) and they are ON TOP of their burritos and tacos -- they are the real deal! PRO TIP: 1. Get their phone number and you can call ahead so you don't have to wait in line 2. Need cash!!! ALL FOODTRUCKS ARE CASH!!"

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."

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."

Temple Teppanyaki

★★★★★ 4.5 (31)

"*Heads up! CASH ONLY*Like everyone else on this page has said, try the #9. It's perfectly fried chicken on a bed of rice topped off with a sweet and spicy sauce on top. It looks super simple but it so goood! My boyfriend got the chicken bowl which came with chicken on a bed of rice, broccoli, and some salty sauce on top. I thought the whole thing was a little too salty but he liked it. Overall, if you're in the area check this place out!"

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."
