50 Best Food Trucks near Staten Island

“You really can't go wrong with any of Red's food.And such reasonable prices compared to other island vendors. My personal favorite is her sweet onions and bacon dog, and her chili with potato sticks. Sounds odd I know, but trust me...she has so many unique toppings to make any combo. Then my other fav is an open faced loaded knish. She also does burgers, and baked potatoes, and thee BEST CUP OF CHILI!!! RUN, DONT WALK!!! YOU'LL BE HOOKED.“

“I’m sorry I haven’t visited sooner, but I’m glad I did on this beautiful day. My first time at Skippy’s, I’m sorry again lol, and I must say I really enjoyed them!! The owner is extremely nice and really cares about her customers. Great dogs and great service, if you haven’t been already I highly recommend!!“

“Thank you for everything you & Beautiful Maria did for us on Sunday!!! Everything was delicious!!! You guys are the best!!!!“

“Great food. Steak quesadillas 😋the best“

“Wowww so good and fresh! I got a chicken & salad platter along with a lamb & chicken pita. I ordered through a third party app and the food was still so warm. The chicken is soo nice, fresh, thick, and juicy. I love the sauces. Boyfriend ate the pita too fast to show a picture haha. Never ordering from any other halal again.“

“Absolutely the best food in Staten Island!

Graffitery’s street cart is on a whole other level. The food is always fresh, full of flavor, and made with real attention to quality. You can taste the love in every bite. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the vibes are great.

Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, Graffitery never disappoints. Hands down the best street food in Staten Island—don’t miss it!“

“A very great halal store with fresh food and many different things to choose from! Highly recommended.“

“Great vibe, good tunes, quality food and very cool people.“

“First time at Coney Shack and I’m already hooked. This spot is such a cool blend of Vietnamese flavors with street food vibes, and everything we tried hit the mark.

We started with the crispy fish tacos—super light, crunchy, and packed with flavor. The lemongrass chicken banh mi tacos were my personal favorite: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and with just enough heat to keep things interesting. You can tell they’re not afraid to play around with flavor while still keeping the balance right.

The vibe inside is casual and fun—bright, energetic, and perfect for grabbing food with friends. Staff was super friendly and patient while we figured out what to order (so many good options!).

Prices are very fair for the quality, and the portions are generous. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving something bold and different. I’m already planning to come back to try the short rib quesadilla everyone raves about.“

“Love Me Casa food. Been eating their food since the start and they never disappoint. Everything has so much flavor. My favs of course are the alcapurias and the empanadas... but EVERYTHING is delicious.“

“WISP Rol delicious & so well put together! The guys on the truck are so friendly and accommodating & treat everyone with kindness even with long wait times. Order ahead & pick up when it says it’s ready and you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommend“

“Sam’s Falafel Stand has honestly become a mandatory stop for me every single time I visit Manhattan. In a city filled with endless food options, expensive restaurants, and trendy places constantly going viral, this small food stand somehow keeps pulling me back every time I’m in NYC.

What makes it special is how authentic and consistently good everything is. The falafel is always incredibly fresh — crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and perfectly seasoned without feeling greasy or heavy. The hummus, baba ganoush, sauces, fresh vegetables, and warm pita all come together in a way that feels simple but genuinely unforgettable. You can taste the quality and care in every bite.

There’s also something about the experience itself that feels so New York. Standing on the street in Lower Manhattan, grabbing food from a small stand while the city moves around you nonstop somehow becomes part of the memory. It’s not trying too hard to be trendy or aesthetic — it’s just great food done exceptionally well, and that authenticity is exactly why people love it.

Over time, visiting Sam’s Falafel Stand stopped feeling like just another meal and became part of my NYC routine. Every trip to Manhattan feels incomplete without stopping there at least once. It’s one of those rare places where the food is consistently excellent, the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the entire experience feels comforting and familiar no matter how busy the city gets.

I’ve eaten at many places across New York, but this stand genuinely stayed with me. Sometimes the places that leave the biggest impression aren’t the fanciest restaurants — they’re the small local spots that become tied to your memories of the city itself. For me, Sam’s Falafel Stand is absolutely one of those places.“

“Awesome Food Truck, Fish Was Nice And Fresh Tasty And Enough.... Prices Are Very Reasonable Highly Recomended“

“the Best in everything n good humorist n loaded up in everything, excellent taste n price,“

“The breakfast pockets were beyond my expectations! Perfect for a hearty morning breakfast that are quick to heat up and very filling/tasteful. Would recommend these 10x over!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I grew up in NYC so I’m no stranger to halal carts. Since I’ve moved to JC (which I know is only across the river, but the food scene really is different), I have yet to find my go-to halal spot… until now! I paid $10 for a chicken over rice. The chicken was so juicy and they were very generous with the chicken and sauce. So delicious but also so dangerous that I’m so close by“

“very good and a nice guy.“

“INCREDIBLE food! The eggplant and lasagne is THE BEST around! And the cannoli's are out of this world!!! 5+ stars no doubt!“

“Yummy & just enough spice. I will definitely be back!“

“Received my second order of SLAP-IT seasonings. Thank you for the fast shipping. I use it on eggs, turkey burgers, chicken and more.“

“They aren't always there, but when they are, considerate it your lucky day. Some of the best hot dogs I've had, I recommend trying one with cooked onions and cheese, simple yeah, but it's all you need.

I've literally been going here for years (since I was a kid), perfect snack after a walk around the Rahway River Park. You can even ask for your hotdogs to go (they just wrap 'em up and put them in a bag).“

“Definitely worth standing in the pouring rain for. I ordered the chicken curry rice platter and also tried the chicken tikka katti roll that was recommended. Everything was packed with so much flavor. Chicken tikka katti roll was my favorite. Highly recommend.“

“My sister told me about her local go-to for tacos. I tried the 3 tacos de birria. It was absolutely delicious. Sizeable portion (I was full with 2) and it came with a consome that you could dip the tacos.

Also, the owner is so kind. She wrote a get well note for my mom on her order. I had mentioned that had been sick.

Before leaving the area, I am heading back for another order. Definitely recommend.“

“I recommend delicious steak sandwich“

“Simply awesome! Very festive atmosphere.“

“Incredible food every time! My family and I are obsessed. 10/10 would recommend! Joshua cooks a wide variety of cuisines and works with our dietary restrictions. He has a real passion for food that comes through in every dish. Always delicious with great service too. Also, ask about his hot sauces!“

“Al pastor and fish tacos were superb, birria taco was underwhelming and I wouldn’t recommend it.

I did notice the Al pastor used what was probably a cheaper cut of meat, but they make up for it with balanced seasoning and filling ingredients + generous avocado salsa“

“yesterday I went with my homie and spent $50 after leaving the casino, the food was delicious i even dropped a $8 dollar tip and was on fb live with tommy tuck, but my girl went their hrs after and said she was disrespected by a dude that seem drunk....Tommy plz give me a call I've been trying to reach u.“

“Food is great affordable prices and the portion is generous. Staff is great love it.“

“I highly recommend Jiannetto’s Pizza and Catering!! Had a party and everything was fantastic! My guests raved about the food all night!! Everything was super fresh and so delicious!! Service was terrific. Can’t want to have them back for my next party!! Made the night stress free and i enjoyed watching my guests loving all the food!!“

“Everything! I loved Nick’s. First time there and it did not disappoint.“

“Marion Crêpes on Takeshitadori isn't the ultimate crepe experience, but it's a fun must-try on this iconic street. The variety of flavors and toppings adds a playful twist to your Harajuku adventure. While it may not be gourmet, indulging in a Marion Crêpe is a quintessential Takeshita Street experience.“

“EXCELLENT. We’re a Puerto Rican family and just didn’t feel like cooking this Christmas. Ordered arroz con gandules, pernil, pastelon, mini empanadas, alcapurias, papá rellena, and Pasteles. Everything was PERFECT. We will definitely be back.“

“After coming to the USA, this food truck gave me one of the best food experiences so far. I tried the falafel wrap and chicken over rice for the first time, and oh my God—the flavors were absolutely amazing!
It was my first time trying street food here, and it instantly won my heart. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and so satisfying. On top of that, the person serving the food was extremely warm, friendly, which made the experience even better.
What started as a first try has now become a regular order for us. Highly recommended! 🌯🍗✨“

“Westside Shawarma is back with a vengeance. Never have I seen so much demand for a small food spot. Literal posts on the internet asking about this place. I was excited to see the G.O.A.T return, and more so with a proper shop. I got so excited, I ordered two chicken platters and only managed to finish one. Warmed it up two days later and it tasted just as good as when I got it. Great to have you guys back!“

“Overall rating: 4.9
Paid: $9 with Tip

OMG SO GOOD. AND AFFORDABLE. Cash only and they accept Zelle. The staff is also sooooo friendly especially in such a small area. It definitely put a smile on my face that I wasn’t expecting during my lunch break. Highly recommend! I tried to go back recently to take a picture but I can’t find it anymore 😭 does anyone know if they moved?“

“I have to admit that my expectations were low because traditional Mexican food on the east coast is rare as hens teeth. My wife and I were amazed to find the fresh ingredients and complimentary flavors reminded us of some of our favorite restaurants on Cozumel. My only complaint is that the food is too good for a food Truck. Mike already figured this out because he's opening a restaurant. I can't wait to see his presentation on some colorful Mexican crockery. Traditional rum, tequila, and mescal drinks would make a perfect evening.“

“Was hard to find based on map pin (I submitted request to update) but it's located just above Pearl on Wall St., parked on the side. I guess these guys probably tell their families that they "work on Wall St"... which is certainly true!I ordered an "Enchilada Quesadilla" which is decidedly NOT an enchilada, but they label this seasoned steak as "Enchilada" flavor. The taste gives me the impression they make their own tortillas because the quesadillas did not taste like any storebought shelf-brand tortilla. The flavoring in the meat made me crave it even more, just absolutely delicious!Comes with pico de gallo, a couple of FRESH slices of avocado, and shredded lettuce. I also had a side of rice and beans which was good but no jalapeño in the beans so a little on the bland side.But those quesadillas!“

“First time here but will be back again and again. The food the ambiance the staff perfection. you feel like you're in Greece. the saladS are big and delish. 4 of us went and all loved their dishes. highly recommend. New fave. Yes a little pricey but worth it“

“Better than any chicken and rice dish I’ve had before. It’s a shame they’re 4.5 hours away 😭“

“Amazing banana pudding, ribs and chicken. Even better people!!“

“3 words food its great“

“Excellent food, very convenient location. Friendly staff. Very affordable. Nice to have some different type of street food around the hood. Thank you!“

“First time ordering and if it takes an hour, of course they want the food hot but it was worth it...and the food was delicious...first time ordering and I seen the reviews stating it lasts an hour but obviously everyone wants their food hot and it worth it and the food was delicious“
