50 Best Food Trucks near East Elmhurst

“I have been eating here since it was a cart, now it is a food truck. Personally my opinion might be biased but if you want a Colombian style fast food for a fair price. Come and enjoy. Just know it might be a bit pricey for one but I believe if you go to other places you might be paying more.“

“If you are looking for the best fast food in NY. Fuego is the place for you!! Fuego became my Favorite place since 2021. It has a huge variety of dishes and the flavor is amazing. Love the Natural Juices because they make it frozen so it last long.

“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“Wonderful service. Courteous and professional above all and friendly to boot. The Food is delicious and with the added lunch menu of tacos is an extra delicious treat. During this Pandemic it's comforting to know we can depend on them fora quick & tasty breakfast . Supporting them during these trying times is extremely important as well. Im grateful and appreciative for them to continue working hard and providing this service to us. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank You Family Coffee Truck🙏🏾🥰“

“A rare 5 stars from me. Make sure you find him, he's in a row of random food stalls and is a bit nondescript compared to them.

Price is now $10 for falafel sandwich but still the best value meal in all Manhattan. Very generous with the fillings, cutlery and napkins etc and he also gave two pieces of fried dough with it which was a nice surprise.

Drinks priced very reasonably at $2 each only.

This stall practices all-in pricing so the price advertised is what you get. Hats off to it“

“Been coming here since highschool. Still better than most halal spots ive been to both in taste and price. And the best thung of all is the owner himself. always with a smile on his face, always polite when serving. So loved by the community that while you wait for your food at least 2 people will greet him and he'll greet back.“

“By Far The Best authentic Jamaican Food ever .. since i discovered this food truck i no longer eat at any local Jamaican restaurants due to the freshness and quality of the food !!! 10/10 all the time hands down no matter the dish … Thanks for such the great hospitality and food all the time !!! Rooting for your restaurant because i know it will be outstanding & Food will remain the same with The love you put into it… AS you Would say Peace and Love 💕🫶🏾“

“Food was Fresh and Perfectly Seasoned! Lady was Friendly. Will def go back! Only downfall, needs a proper sign so you can find the right cart, but right across from planet fitness by myrtle wycoff train station. Other than that, Love it 😊“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Best food I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a inexpensive very good quality meal in New York. This is the place to go.

My brother Ahmed will make sure you have the best most friendliest experience ever!!! 10/10 food truck. Will have again when I visit.“

“I think this is the best shawarma i have ever had so far. Chicken platter is good, however, i am pleasantly surprised that the beef platter is also as tasty! The meat is so tender, not dry at all!

Good reasonable portion! Very satisfied 😋😋“

“I stopped by Zaki’s Halal while looking for a place to eat, and I’m so glad I did! The food was absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful, and one of the best halal meals I’ve had.
The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, and the young lady working there was also very professional, friendly, and helpful. Their customer service made the experience even better.
The restaurant was spotless, well-maintained, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere.
I highly recommend Zaki’s Halal to anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“We first heard about Tony’s on Jon Barr’s YouTube channel (prepping for our first NYC visit). Can only say that this is the perfect spot to get food, and then go eat it in Central Park.

Both times we visited the food was great, staff was very friendly & we received our orders within a couple of minutes.

The memorable comment from my girlfriend - “I want to move to NYC because of Tony’s”“

“Easily the best coffee I've ever had. The pours are full, rich, and flavorful, and every espresso drink varietal I've tried (latte, cortado, flat white, macchiato) has had a perfectly balanced ratio. My only gripe is that the cart isn't here every day!“

“Unbelievable fuchka — haven’t had fuchka this good in a long time. Definitely rivals the best fuchka in Bangladesh.“

“This is a food cart, but I’m still trying to find a better banh mi in the city! Recently tried some highly rated downtown options and let me tell you it was nothing compared to this cart! Also: very nice owner, great prices and freshness of ingredients.“

“Danny & Coop's understood the assignment, everybody can make a decent cheesesteak using rib eye, but not everybody can make the bread in house. The sesame bread was just crunchy enough on the outside but very soft on the inside, just perfect. Coming from a baker, thanks for putting the time to deliver that, the meat is also great and service was very fast. I definitely recommend getting some hot peppers and putting them on the sandwich. Ventilation was a bit so so with this crazy New York heat is the only bad thing I'd say but I will 100% come back next time I'm in NYC.“

“Maged is the best! Love stopping here after getting off the train.“

“One of my favorite halal spots in queens. Food and service is impeccable. Even though I got a salad platter they still threw in some rice so you won’t go hungry. Chicken and lamb are amazing. Perfect amount of char and still tender. They also usually give out a free sample of falafel which is cooked and seasoned perfectly. They also cook it in an oval shape so it’s a bit more crispy as opposed to the circle ones. Must try and always get extra white sauce and hot sauce. Food is hot, fresh and comes out quickly“

“I visited Yummy Tummy bakery for the first time today, with five other friends of mine to support a Black-owned business during Black History Month. The owner Melissa and Kaylan made the entire experience a delight. The two of them made sure we got all of our treats in a timely manner and treated us with such care. The sweets themselves were absolutely delicious. The fruity pebble cupcake particularly was the perfect amount of sweet, moist, and airy. If you’re in the neighborhood, I’d definitely recommend you stop by!“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time, and this used to be one of our favorite halal carts. We would regularly drive in from Long Island with groups of friends and family, especially for the falafel, which was always outstanding.

Unfortunately, since Hamza left, I’ve noticed a significant decline in both the service and the overall quality of the food. The owner has always been friendly and seems like a genuinely good person, so I’m not sure exactly what’s changed behind the scenes, but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Today we came as a family, and there were three new employees working. It was pretty clear they weren’t happy to be there, and the atmosphere felt unwelcoming. We did have a larger order, but in the past that was never an issue—we were always greeted warmly and appreciated as customers.

I’m leaving this review because I genuinely want to see this place succeed. The food and service used to be exceptional, and I hope they can get back to the standard that made so many of us loyal customers.“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“We were on our way back from Pennsylvania and made a quick food stop at the Bronx and in the snow. It's really hard to find parking in that area. We got the mixed platter that consisted of chicken, gyro, rice, salad, and pita bread. They poured a generous amount of sauce and it tasted good. There are few food trucks next to each other so you have options. The food trucks were located by the Virginia Park sign.“

“My first time having fuska at fuskahouse Yummm! Can’t explain how taste it was It reminded me my childhood fuskawala Great food & will recommend all my F& F.“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“We had the Al pastor tacos, carnitas tacos, and tonga empanada. All of it was excellent!! Such good authentic Mexican food. I have been searching for this style of empanada since I first had them homemade by my Argentinian friends mom. So so good. Highly recommend!“

“I came all the way from Long Island to Rego Park, and while passing through I spotted this hot dog truck and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! The hot dogs were AMAZING. I ordered the chili cheese dog with onions and mustard, along with a sauerkraut dog with mustard, and both were absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed! 🌭😊“

“Incredible service along with great food. Always our go to when getting a burrito in kuna! The asada burritos is my favorite! be sure to bring cash. 10/10 food and service thanks guys!“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

“Chicken over rice bowl is $10 and sooo worth it. It's so good. Prepared quickly and efficiently. I would maybe go light on the red sauce as it is very spicy, or remove it altogether (if sensitive to spice.)

Sometimes the chicken pieces have a weird texture or could be grilled a bit better. But that might be a personal preference thing. Fries are really good.“

“Great find. Saw a crowd and ordered. Wow one of the juiciest, most flavorful tacos and mulita I've had. Definitely try their mulita. The owner was kind enough to make me try the soup and it was one of the most flavorful soups I've had. This is spot on. Must try.“

“Royal Grill Halal on 44th & 6th Ave is a true Midtown gem (I've worked nearby for 30 years). He’s the nicest vendor you’ll meet and the chicken and rice is incredibly flavorful and fresh, with generous portions and speedy, friendly service. Highly recommended for delicious food and a nice experience every time.“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“Delicioso y económico....“

“I love this food, it’s so delicious and the service is wonderful.. I can eat here everyday.“

“Always fresh and delicious food options including Vegetarian choices. Chef Omer combines Turkish food specialties with Classical American street food. They have Gozleme (Turkish Pancake) with Cheese, Potato or Spinach, amazing grilled fresh fish, chicken gyro, falafel, tacos… Even Turkish Tea. Thank you for bringing this wonderful menu to us.

Vegetarian options: Gozleme, Falafel, Salad“

“I recently visited a newly opened food truck and had an amazing experience that completely exceeded my expectations. The food truck had a bright and modern setup with a clean serving area, attractive menu display, and a lively atmosphere that immediately caught my attention. The staff members were friendly, energetic, and handled orders quickly while making customers feel welcome.“

“I ate here nearly every week while I was in college but have since moved to New Jersey. I still crave it now and then because there is nothing like this halal truck. I miss being a five minute walk away but this alone is totally worth a visit to the UWS. (I saved this picture in it’s own album called “Best Halal of My Life”, fyi).“

“The flavors here keep calling me back whenever I'm nearby. Their menu combines quality and service with sensible pricing. The staff performed exactly as expected at this quality restaurant. They serve just enough for the right cost. Tasty food options, considerate staff, and a nice setting make this restaurant good.“

“We love ordering from this food cart by far the chorizo and vegetarian tacos are my favorite. Recommending this place for sure.“

“The best in the business.“
