50 Best Food Trucks near Elmhurst

“Love this halal cart! Only when they have the spicy rice! I was very sad when the ran out of spicy rice one time but when they have it, this is my favorite halal cart to get a combo. It’s real Delicious lamb. And I love the sprinkle of broccoli.“

“(Translated by Google) The food was very good and the staff too except the short-haired lady. A very despotic attitude, I don't know if she's the owner or what, but they always order with anyone else.(Original)La comida muy buena y el personal también excepto la sra de pelo corto. Una actitud muy despota, nose si es la dueña o que pero siempre ordenen con cualquier otra persona.“

“Tasty and fresh Mexican dishes. Dishes to choose from with various additions: meat, fish, and vegetarian versions with cauliflower or tofu. Aromatic dishes, good looking, tasty, filling and warming, prepared on site in front of the customer in an open kitchen. Delicious spicy homemade sauces. Very polite service taking the order with a smile.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dishes with cauliflower or tofu. Crispy tofu was unfortunately not crispy.“

“I got the chicken over rice. Solid quality chicken.

Whoever was running the cart looked pretty tired in the heat :(. Nonetheless, he was still very attentive and kind!

Very quick. Will be back! Thanks so much!“

“They’re absolutely amazing! The best in parkchester ! Some might say the best in nyc. The food is always great and has a warming feel like your mom made your favorite Sunday dinner. If you’re in parkchester don’t forget to stop by and give them a try you won’t regret it!“

“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🙏🏾🥰“

“Shame on me for not visiting this food truck earlier. This is by far the best food truck for Italian sausage and Philly cheesesteak and only $12 each What a bargain.

Everything cooked right in front of you hot and fresh and did I mention the outstanding service the two gentleman in the truck provided. Both so warm and inviting, made me feel like a regular though it was my first time.

No doubt I will be back soon to try out the rest of the menu, including hotdogs and knishes.

Keep up the great work and serving great food.“

“Reliable. Literally a fixture in the park. Prices have gone up but that’s everywhere. I remember when it was 4/5 dollars. Now it’s 9! Fine.
Portion size was good. Makes it worth it.
Hot sauce is spicey.
Can of soda only 1 dollar.
No line. Plenty of bench seating in the park.“

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

“Just the best Mexican food In NYC“

“Excellent service, Fresh Food, Great Prices! Highly recommended“

“whether you stop by at lunch rush or late evening, the food comes out hot, flavorful, and filling. The staff is quick and friendly, and even when the line looks long, it moves fast. Prices are very reasonable for Midtown, especially considering the portion size you won’t leave hungry.“

“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.“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for 2yrs and finally decided to Try this Restaurant and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I was confused on what dish to get so the cashier (young lady with glasses) recommended "Chicken TIkka" it's so yummy ? the food was hot and freshly cooked this is my third time visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more items off the menu. I Also like they are open lateeeeee“

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

“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“

“Late night cravings led me to this food truck—and wow, they seriously delivered! Just look at this plate 🔥

Perfectly seasoned meat, crispy golden fries, fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, and that signature creamy white sauce drizzled all over? Absolute chef’s kiss. The spice from the red sauce kicked in just right without being overpowering, and everything came together in the best kind of chaos you want from street food.

It’s the kind of meal that hits different when you’re standing under the city lights, plastic fork in hand, and the smell of grilled goodness in the air. Generous portions too—great for sharing (or not, no judgment 😎).

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re nearby. Bring your appetite—you’ll need it.“

“This is delicious Crown Heights street food. Open late if your ambling home from a bar and need some filling food to put you to bed. Or in our case, wanting a Sunday night 10pm taco after driving 8 hours. We had tacos al pastor and birrierria - EXCELLENT. Fresh little double corn tortilla tacos with the radish and lime. Also, excellent sauces. Loved the green hot sauce.“

“The Banh Mi Cart is my favorite part of working in the Financial District. They’re only open 4 hours a day but boy do they deliver! Hot, delicious ready-to-eat Vietnamese banh mi’s ? And the two uncles working the cart are super friendly and are the most honest, hardworking people I’ve met. I’ll have to try to get there earlier because the roasted pork banh mi is sold out everytime!“

“What a gem. Got a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted: plenty of chicken, loaded with rice and beans, good tortilla that they grilled just right. And the guys working the truck are super nice, overall great experience for the price.“

“I love this food truck. Best food truck in NY! Guys are funny, kind, pleasant and working hard lovely people. Food is so yummylicious!!!! I love the beef Sharma so I always got that. Until yesterday I wanted to try something new. So I got the beef kebab and Kefta (? Not sure if I spelled it rt) but it's like a thin burger patty. These were sooo good too!!! Now I'm have to go back for more lol. I got sauce with mine. But naw. Their food is soooo good. You should get the sauce on the side! Taste it trufully haha. Price is good. And portion is good. Iam a lady who can eat! And I can't finish it all st once! My husband can. But he gets full after. ? I highly recommend this food truck if you wanna try a real halal food! Their meat taste and feels real as compare to other food truck lamb,, it feels like canned meat... OMG also Their falafel I'd THE BEST! So crunchy and flavourful!! ??“

“This truck is the closest I've come to eating true, authentic Venezuelan food in years. Everything I've had here is fresh and so flavorful, you can tell the ingredients are of the best quality.

Food aside, the people that work it are welcoming and so sweet! If you're not Venezuelan they take the time to walk you through the menu/give recs, and if you are Venezuelan they are a much needed dose of home. Everything is delicious, but the cachapas and tequeños are unreal.

Could no recommend enough!!!!

Vegetarian options: A lot of dishes are corn based with cheese, most items can be adapted to be vegetarian.“

“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.“

“Update: Tried this place again and I gotta change my review from 4 stars to 5. Got a combo over rice with extra meat and it was packed. More importantly though, it was delicious. I don't know if it's because I was hungry but the food I got yesterday was made really good, so much so that I'd actually say this cart is among the top 5 halal places I'd recommend. There seemed to be more lamb this time, like 60% chicken to 40% lamb but I didn't mind it much because the chicken was very juicy and flavorful. It felt like I was eating heaven and this might be my new go-to but given that it's a little of a way from my house, I don't know if I'd be coming here often. What I do know is that it's right in front of the hospital and if I worked around there, I'd be getting even fatter. For the purposes of my health, it's probably a good thing that I don't live too close to this cart. 10/10

Original review: Got a combo over rice and despite costing $1 more than the chicken over rice, the combo was basically 90% chicken and 10% lamb so it was basically a chicken over rice with a few lamb pieces sprinkled in. Despite me feeling ripped off, the chicken over rice was actually quite good. Chicken was tasty and well seasoned and I'd say that this is definitely one of the better halal carts out there in the area. Not the best but pretty good, and the prices weren't terrible.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“Very tasty food specially Chicken over Rice“

“Seriously one of the best food trucks I’ve ever eaten at. If I worked in the area I would have eaten everything they make by now. Gyro and Mediterranean Chicken sandwich were fresh and delicious. Would come out of my way for this and eat any time I’m in the area.“

“I tried a little of everything: their s’more cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and plain cheesecake, and it was all absolutely delicious! The buttercream on the cupcakes is sweet but not overpowering, the cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, and the cheesecake is sweetened to perfection. Such a great place to purchase from when you’re craving something to satisfy your sweet tooth!“

“I love her delicious Fresh Salmon along with her home made specialty kraut. She is perfect for parties special events concerts and her C S is lovng and kind.“

“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.“

“I've been eating New York City halal cart food since 1998 when my wife worked on the corner of 53rd and 6th Avenue. I would grab a mixed platter from Halal Guys while I waited for her.

Then I became a fan of Adel's a little further down the street on 49th and 6th.

My new favorite is this cart in Williamsburg. Service is friendly and fun and most importantly, the platters are tasty, cooked to order, and priced at pre-Biden prices!

In all seriousness, this place is legit so try it out.“

“I’ve tried over a dozen Halal carts in the city, and this one has by far the best chicken over rice. Once you try it, you’ll go out of your way to come here every time you crave halal.

The chicken is juicy and always perfectly flavored and cooked. All ingredients are fresh. The sauces are great, and the red sauce is VERY spicy (love it)

The folks running it are super friendly and the cart is kept clean.

I’m legitimately concerned that once people find out about this place, there will lines around the block. It’s one viral TikTok away from becoming an overcrowded tourist spot.“

“Got the chicken over rice here and wasn't expecting much but was surprised by the value and taste. The serving was more than enough for two people and the taste was good. He even put in extra sauce and salad for us. No nonsense and definitely would recommend this food truck if you're looking for halal food in SoHo.“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“The best!! Amazing customer service so friendly and welcoming. And the food oh boy oh boy!! If you come to nyc come to queens to this truck to experience the real deal for nyc food i love my city and i love the people who run this business for doing it how well they do. Please in gods graces stay in business for generations to come..“

“The Teriyaki Chicken and Steak over rice bowl is absolutely amazing! The flavors are rich and perfectly balanced — the chicken is juicy, the steak is tender, and that teriyaki glaze ties everything together beautifully. Every bite is packed with deliciousness. The portion is generous, and the rice soaks up all that flavorful sauce just right. Highly recommended for anyone who loves bold, savory meals!“

“The food was OK. I would …not I repeat… not recommend getting the hot sauce on top. You can get it to the side if you really desire but trust me it will burn coming out as it does going in. I mean it the really highly recommended thing I would suggest is the Frys its seasoned and they’re delicious. I don’t think this meal is compete without the fries. Tbh. I got the chicken only“

“Súper BUENOS estoy de vacaciones y birrialandia estaba en mi lista 100 % recomendado“

“After seeing reviews on vlogs on our 1st night we decided we'd try the famous Adels Halal Cart and it didn't disappoint. I had meat combo over spicy rice and my wife had meat combo over normal rice and for $10 each you really can't go wrong. Big portions that tasted delicious. Would definitely recommend. Queue was long but goes down quick enough and the food is worth queuing for.“

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

“OK, so a beef kebab isn't so photogenic, especially outdoors in the afternoon wind, but it did its job of keeping me sated through a long academic presentation at the nearby Italian Academy. Nice food truck selection for these college folks in Morningside.“

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

“I have been going to Tommy's food truck for the past 15 years, and I have to say that I have never had a meal that wasn't short of great!! From the grilled Chicken Caesar wrap to the Bacon cheeseburger ( On my cheat days of course;)). This food truck brings a taste of home to the streets of the West side. Tommy, and Armando treat every customer as if they were family. In a city with many food carts and trucks this is one place that's a must!!!“

“This food truck always has a line - for good reasons. Have tried their burger and kale salad - both were fantastic. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. Price is reasonable and service is always friendly. Go - you won't regret it.“

“The Boss Mike was so nice and welcoming, he really took care of us. The food was amazing he even gave us a sample of the kebab to try while we waited for our food which was incredible and he gave us a free drink overall 10/10 Will definitely come back“

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...“
