“I'll keep this short and to the point: this is the best burrito I've had in the city hands down, and it's not close. Everything fresh and phenomenally seasoned, the lengua is succulent, the al pastor just the right spicy-sweet mix, I can't wait to try a few more meats. The staff is super friendly and the food comes out quick. As far as ambiance, getting in and out of there in record time is all you really want from a food truck. The best.“
“If you grew up eating chicken over rice at halal carts in the city only to go vegan later in life you've experienced the extreme disappointment that comes with ordering falafel over rice without white sauce. It's a tragedy and a reason never to visit a halal cart again. Not at Sam's. Here the falafel is king and the platter is a shrine to the balls of chickpea. The sides and sauces all pack a punch of flavor and keep you coming back for more. The guys who work the cart are really sweet too. These falafels occupy a place in my heart.“
“Best tacos in New York CityWhen I come to New York, all I think about is Rostaco.It's really delicious here tooTacos and Consome are steamedIf you see it while passing by, be sure to try it!!!This is a really good restaurant that locals know!!!“
“Being from southern California, I had high high hopes for this birria and consome and I was not disappointed! A great deal for 3 tacos for $12. Their mulitas were absolutely heavenly and that consome was cooked to perfection I drank the entire thing after dipping my tacos and mulita. We took these to go and sat at a nearby dog park to eat it. There was on line when we went (a Friday at around lunch time) which I was pleasantly surprised by! While we were waiting, another patron eagerly exclaimed that she had been looking for this food truck and wasn't aware that they had moved locations so it's evident this spot is beloved and sought out. Will definitely be returning in the future.“
“This is a very underrated truck in the city. One of the best birria spots I've tried in a while. I tried this place on new years, and it was sooo good, I dragged any of my friends that mentioned anything about food that day. I first got the birria torta, which was a heavenly sandwich, and a great deal for 10$. I also went back for a birria quesadilla, which was also really good! The service was quick both times, and I really appreciate them keeping reasonable prices on new years, with 1 dollar waters and 2 dollar sodas! I can't speak too much about the ambiance because I assume this was a temporary location for new years, but I would follow this truck anywhere. No food pics, food was gone way before I ever thought about taking a picture.“
“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.“
“Best food we ate in NYC, especially because we can't get it in San Francisco. The $10 price point makes it even more delicious and worth the hour wait in line. Portions are perfect for post-show munchies and you can tell the meat is so fresh. Always ask for extra white sauce!“
“Delicious food at a great price. Quick and easy meal to grab for lunch, without having to wait long at all. Been around here for 5 years and Its been my favorite spot that I go to for lunch at least once or twice a week. Definitely add the chipotle mayo, its a game changer.“
“We ordered one Mediterranean veggie pita, which was very good, but it had too much dressing for my taste. It felt like eating a Mediterranean salad in a pita ? We also ordered the beef gyro, but when we arrived at Central Park to eat, we realized we got lamb instead of beef. Nevertheless, it was absolutely delicious. We would have preferred more tzatziki though on the gyro. Would definitely come back!“
“We had just flown in and needed something before heading to a Colbert taping. We had no expectations, but absolutely loved the food. Only thing we didn't love was the sausage and only because it was seasoned in a way that wasn't for us. All of the other meats, sides and sauces were seasoned perfectly, tender, and delicious.“
“Great (huge) sandwiches, great price, and the owner is a great guy.He had already closed up and turned the grill off when I came up to him and fired it back up to get me a banh mi. I didn’t ask him to and told him it was alright but he insisted.I furthermore didn’t have cash so he made it work with one of the other carts so i could get my sandwich.“
“Someone should do a YouTube series blind tasting NYC halal carts; the “GOATs”, as the kids say, which includes Santa, all taste the same, and it’s a hot pile of meat. No one in their right mind would be able to tell the difference.It’s seasoned, portions are respectable, and menu is affordable. My combo gyro was $7.99, despite the menu stating $6.99. Not complaining, but Santa should probably update the sign to avoid any confusion.Friendly and quick service. You can find a very good cart like this anywhere in the city, and Santa Clause is one to check out if you’re by Union Square.“
“They are on 45th and 6th Ave on the weekdays too it seems (just got it today). I wasn't feeling their signature Option so I went with the grilled chicken set (#2), and it still is so tender and flavorful. It comes with a tamarind sauce that added to the flavor although I used it sparingly. Only 10 bucks for any set and cash only, but they have venmo and other options.“
“Visited this truck on a very cold day and had a long train ride home and evening was still very warm and fresh when I got to enjoy. I had the chicken tikka over yellow rice with white sauce and chimichurri and it was delicious. Flavors were fantastic and portion was great! A little spicy just FYI for anyone sensitive to spice but I loved it without adding additional hot sauce.“
“Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, their waffles are perfection - crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Plus, the friendly staff are always ready with a smile and helpful recommendations.Whether it’s a quick snack on the go or a leisurely brunch with friends, Waffles and Dinges never disappoints. It’s a must-visit spot in NYC for waffle lovers and foodies alike!“
“As someone who grew up in eating mexican food in San Diego, I approve of the quality from this truck. The employees are always friendly and the food is reasonably priced. I always get the carnitas burrito without lettuce and their red sauce reminds me of home.“
“Right outside of Marshall's and TJMaxx, you are greeted with rich aromatic smells of halal food. I purchased the chicken over rice platter and not only are the flavors rich and savory, but they add on more that most halal carts don't do. You get French fries, peppers jalapeños, green sauce and chopped tomatos/onions. If this isn't one of the most top tier halal carts I've ever had the pleasure of discovering, then idk what is. Plus Debit/Credit is accepted. Worth the money if you ask me!“
“Hands down best halal I’ve ever had in NYC of all Burroughs. Everyone I know is obsessed with them including our whole office, we placed a large order which Rocky took and everyone that worked that day did such a great job. Seriously you will not regret, just be aware you may become addicted!“
“The best food :)I say this not because Mohammed shared half of his falafel dinner with me, but because he cooked it with love and shared it - the essence of what it means to have food together.I had chicken over rice, the chicken was cooked to perfection, rice was tasty as it could be and the presentation was spot on!I will visit again, but also encourage you to eat here you’ll eat not just through your mouth but with Mohammed’s kindness, your heart as well :)“
“I was looking for a quick meal when I found Coney Shack. My order was packaged nicely but when I sat down to eat, I was blown away with how delicious everything was. Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu.“
“I ate it with Lamb-Yellow Rice-White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce) and added a barbeque sauce (free). The portion size is so large that an adult woman would be full after eating only half!My group ate chicken, and the chicken was delicious too! Tandoori feel - try it with half chicken and half lamb (combo)!Cards were accepted, and the basic dish costs $9.Everyone said there was a long wait, so I went there around 5:50 (10 minutes before business started) and lined up, and I think I got it in about 30 minutes. As soon as business starts, there is a long line.There are a lot of benches in front of the building right next door, so if the weather is nice, you can eat right on the bench.“

“Their stuff is off the HOOK! I've been getting mostly chicken and pork sticks either on a platter or as a sandwich, and they's always been great, for some reason I hadn't tried the Lamb until today, OMG, one of th best Gyros I've ever had. The only complaint I have is if you get there at the wrong time the line gets pretty long, but that's just a testament as to how good their stuff really is! Keep up the great work!“
“Delicious food made fresh with fresh ingredients. Popular among locals, which means you know it's going to be good. Made quickly and it was very flavorful. If you wanted a place to sit and eat just walk down two blocks to a bench at central park. Great location and great food.“
“A place that is very well known among the locals. The person who prepares the food speaks less English, make it clear in advance what you want and keep an eye on this and everything will turn out fine. We had the Chicken Tikka, white sauce, green sauce, little hot sauce and be sure to ask for the mango pickle!“
“Quick and easy lunch, waited for about 5-10mins before food was ready. I had the sesame steak which was flavoured nicely, I would happily eat it without the sauce but didn’t because their sauce is great! Portion size good, value for money as there is a good amount of meat included. Staff were also friendly when served.“
“Best lamb gyro I’ve had in the city. Just…. wow. Do yourself a favor and try this place. The chicken kebab over rice was also outstanding. We lived nearby for a year now and hadn’t tried this until tonight, but now we’ll be regulars for sure.“
“Authentic Mexican taqueria; excellently marinated meats; quick service. Protein cuts are standard variations of chicken, pork (al pastor with the pineapple was chef's kiss), beef, with some vegetarian and pescatarian (shrimp, fish) options as well.“
“I was having an active weekday morning and I wanted some good breakfast tacos. Hearty and fresh. I came across this food truck outside the New York Times building and the pictures depicted on the side do not do it justice for what I received. The tacos were heart with meat, eggs, veggies, some spices. As I type, I crave them.I could feel like there was real New York love embedded in this food. I would not want to go anywhere else.“
“I do not usually like food truck food, but the food here is soooo good. They now make these wraps that taste amazing, as well as this chicken vegetable soup. Ali is such a personable person, and he keeps the truck very clean. You definitely have to try the wraps and the soup.“
“The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the service was prompt. Whether you're a local looking for a quick, satisfying lunch or in need of a dependable catering partner, this Vegetarian Falafel Food Truck has got you covered. I can't recommend it enough!“
“Such a nice hardworking gentleman Mr Essam who operates here. Really generous portions, SUPER fresh and clean tasting. Got the mixed rice plate and there was so much meat!! He had to push the lid down to close it. Chicken is amazingly tender. Veggies are fresh and crisp. Fries are a nice addition! Prices are great, service is fast, and did I say the gentleman is so very nice??I have been to 10+ different halal trucks/carts in manhattan and this one tops them all. Will always come back here! Open late until 3am.“
“Visited Lucio Angelita Tacos, what an outstanding spot. Lucio Angelita Tacos is a total gem of a find. Each and every single item that we ordered was incredibly fresh and flavorful. People who work there are incredibly pleasant and welcoming. I am already planning to go back to Lucio Angelita Tacos.“
“Popped in here whilst on a business trip with 2 colleagues. All had different sandwiches on Hero rolls. Quick, great service and sandwiches were great too. Sometimes there's two much of one ingredient, not enough of another but perfect combination. We only came here on our last day, wish it had been our first, would probably have come every day“
“Place that we discovered for our picnic in Central Park.It doesn't look like much but it's very clean and probably known to the locals.We tried the burritos and the chicken over rice.It’s excellent value for money and we had a great time ?“
“We started with the lobster artichoke dip with grilled bread. Very good!! My husband had the French onion soup and wedge salad. I had the chicken Parmesan with alfredo pasta. Big portions on all the food and very flavorful!! The menu has a lot of great options! Friendly staff. A bit loud when it was crowded, but at the end of the night it started to quiet down. We will be back for sure!!“
“Patacon is venezuelan food. If you like to eat sweet plantains, this is the place. It's one of those fast food truck place-order to go only. I had a "yoyo" a choice of chicken, beef, or pork. I had the chicken. Basically it looks like a gyro instead of getting the pita bread, you get sweat plantains with lettuce and tomatoes. It was very tasty.You should look at their website for more details.“
“LISTENNNNNNNNNN i saw the reviews and needed a fast lunch for 2 to go. $4/ea for FULLY LOADED delicious made with love tacos, $2 for tamales. I'm so full and will absolutely be returning. this is the kind of neighborhood cart you love to support!“
“First time in Brooklyn visiting the brewery…and lucked out to have this wonderful pizza truck parked outside on a rainy Sunday evening. Just giving it a shot was the best decision of the day because holiest of holy, this pizza is phenomenal. It was the best pizza I had in 2022. And 2021. And 2020.Huge shoutout to the owner for hooking us up on our second round for our trip back to Manhattan.“
“Listen here and listen clear: HANDS DOWN THEE BEST FRITURA ANYWHERE ON THIS SIDE OF THE PLANET!!! I REFUSE to eat orejitas from ANYWHERE else!!! Them thangz feel as soft as baby butt!!! Feel like they boil them things for a week in a giant pot before frying them!!! ???? Buy without hesitation! Everything here is wonderful! ?“
“I am happy to share my review of this amazing El Paisano Mexican food truck. Having had the pleasure of visiting the food truck a few times over the years, I can confidently say that it's one of the best food trucks out there. Their customer service is excellent. They are also incredibly thoughtful, as evidenced by the fact that they remembered it was my birthday - a small but incredibly touching gesture that speaks volumes about their commitment to their customers.Now, onto the food. The tacos are simply divine - they're the perfect combination of fresh, spicy, and satisfying. Whether you're in the mood for beef, chicken, shrimp, they have something for everyone. The portions and the prices are reasonable.Overall, I highly recommend this Mexican food truck to anyone who wants a delicious quick bite on the go.“
“Compared to their more famous rivals, this place is just as good, when it comes to the food. It actually provides more variety, with multiple options available on the menu, compared to the guys on 53rd and 6th. They also have just as many, if not more, than the people on 49th and 6th. The bonus to this place is the wait. For food just as good, you won't have to wait as long. As good as the other places are, I don't know if it's worth waiting over 1.5 hours. For this reason, this place is worth it. Add in the food, and it's definitely worth a try. Because the line is shorter, the ability for the people working to tend to custom requests is better. I'll definitely be back. It tasted great.“

“Uri's coffee is something you have to see to believe. There are hundreds food trailers scattered around New York City. Uri's appears to be some kind of bizzare anomaly with how uniquely busy it is. I saw no less than 4 separate door dash like services lined up here waiting to pick up the many orders the busy staff was working to fulfill in a kitchen no larger than a small truck bed. Their signature item is a breakfast burrito which comes with all kinds of bonus goodies like avocado, hot peppers, and a flavorful green salsa served on the side. I hope Uri's continues to be a huge hit, because the hard working owners deserve your money more than most. I dream to one day maybe see this as a larger truck or even a restaurant, that would warm my heart and I think feed a lot of hungry people on the upper east side.“
“Don’t let the long line turn you away, this place is the real deal, they do the hustle and the line moves very quickly. The food is authentic and out of this world delicious. I’ll be smiling for days knowing you’re right across the street from where we are staying. Jamrock Jerk: Thanks for giving this island gyull a taste of home. You guys and gals rock! OneLove.“
“Very good food served out of a taco truck. They have been on 57th st and 8th ave as of late. The food is solid. The tortas are the best thing on the menu. The salsas are good. The prices fair. The chichi morra drink was just OK though. Sort of like the Mexican hibiscus drink but not really worth $3. The guys are friendly and they accept credit cards. Usually a small line during lunch. But it moves fast.“
“I was really hungry, but when I went to the 74st cafe at Fairway, I only saw the breakfast menu, and I wanted lunch. Turns out they did have lunch, but I was already downstairs. Remembered seeing this food truck, and I do love Mexican food. There's a ton of choices, and I decided to try the Cubana torta. It's HUGE. It's definitely a different take on a Cuban. There were beans, tiny cubes of crispy pork, ham, cheese, jalapeños, no pickles, I think some avocado, and lettuce. It was delicious. I could only finish HALF after discarding the top piece of bread. The truck was staffed by a smiling, friendly woman, whose English is somewhat limited, but adequate for understanding food questions. We managed just fine. The truck has an A rating, and I plan to go back for a quesadilla or some tacos. So glad that this truck is in the neighborhood :) I can't eat pizza ALL the time.“
“This taco truck feels a bit like a hidden gem. Came across it while wondering around the Wall St. area and gave some tacos a try. I tried a new type of taco that I never had before which was this goat barbaccoa (chivo), which was amazing and very flavorful. I can't recall any taco truck or brick-and-mortar that I've been too that offers this, so I felt that was very unique and will get me to come back. The Al Pastor was also pretty banging. Fresh, juicy with pineapple, and very flavorful. We got some Jarritos as well and they were really cold which was delightful on a hot summer day. This truck definitely exceeds expectations, I highly recommend hunting it down and giving it a shot.“
“From My Reviews Yall Know I Love Bowls... Well Flavored Chicken... Came w Black Beans,, Pico de Gallo,, Guacamole,, Lettuce and I Requested Fried Onion Which They Did w/ NO Problem... A Tray Fullfilled to the Brim for $12 Bucks as of 3/22/24... Definitely Worth It... Doesn't Even Need Sauce...“
“Mama Jo’s gives plenty of positive energy by the morning!Best egg and cheese with bacon bagel sandwich I had in NYC, amazing and special donuts with different flavours, and many homemade options on the bucket list (definitely trying as much as possible in the future).The black coffee is also amazing and have all the alternative options for regular milk.I am absolutely in love with this best breakfast cart in NYC!“
