50 Best Food Trucks in Philadelphia

“Get the sorbetto! Great food, great service.“

“If you’re in Philadelphia and looking for an authentic, flavorful, and heartfelt food experience, you have to visit La Chingonita in Fishtown. The food is absolutely delicious—a perfect fusion of Puerto Rican and Mexican flavors that creates a unique and unforgettable taste.

But what really makes this place stand out goes beyond the food. The owners treat their employees with so much respect and kindness, something that’s truly rare to see. You can feel the positive energy and the family-like atmosphere, and that reflects directly in the service.

The restaurant is also spotless in terms of cleanliness—everything is well taken care of from the kitchen to the dining area.

I highly recommend that everyone go check it out, enjoy this amazing “MexiRican” culinary experience, and support one of the best food ventures in the city. La Chingonita doesn’t just feed your stomach—it feeds your soul.“

“everything was amazing!!! get there early and enjoy.“

“Everything on the menu is Excellent and I tried the Kotlet with red sauce for the 1st time today. OMFG. AMAZING DISH.“

“Finally went and boy it was worth it!!! Came from Zerlin (Berlin NJ) and got the chicken hoagie with fries. I have no idea how they keep that roll so flavorful and juicy! The chicken was to die for and perfectly seasoned! I hope you are in Zamden again Friday even though it’s going to be a rain soaker.“

“Ordered to try something new and it was the best discovery I’ve made since moving to Philadelphia. Always crave it because of how well seasoned and delicious the food is. The quality is on another level.“

“My first time there was a little confusing finding the entrance/window to order (by the way, it’s in the back).

Secondly, they don’t offer samples, which is disappointing, but it’s their policy. Buying a full scoop of a flavor I’ve never tried before is a gamble I don’t like taking.

Third, it’s about $6–7 for a single scoop. I think that’s a bit pricey (IMO), but since I only go once in a while, I guess I don’t mind paying it.

Fourth, seating is limited if you want to sit and enjoy your ice cream. I’ve only been there twice, and both times I ended up eating in my car. It kind of takes away from my summer evening ritual: sitting outside while the warm air melts into the ice cream and I have to eat it as fast as it melts (the little kid in me still loves that, lol).

That said, their banana pudding ice cream was delicious. I’ll definitely stop by one last time to treat my sweet tooth before they permanently close.“

“For my daughter’s wedding we were looking for a wood fired pizza truck. The ones we loved weren’t available and we booked Red Stone Pizza Truck sight unseen. I ran into them later at a food truck festival, introduced myself, and they gave me pizza to try—it was amazing and I breathed a sigh of relief that we chose wisely. Fast forward to June 17, day of wedding, and I was nervous—would people have to wait too long for pizza, did we choose types people would enjoy? Would the bacon wrapped scallops be a hit or miss (you know how that goes). Happy to say that everything was a hit! Jessica was easy to work with and the team there that day was wonderful! No one ever had to wait for pizza, they served it up and had another hot one ready to go. Everyone was so nice and customer service was some of the best I’ve experienced! I had several people tell me how good the pizza was and some even said it was the best pizza they’d ever had! Some said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had! (Even the bacon wrapped scallops were amazing!) I would recommend Red Stone for your food truck or catering needs! Thank you for running things so smoothly and making my daughters day special!!“

“Great fun having the El Tlaloc taco truck at our double retirement party. The tacos were great as well as the service. There were tacos for every type of eater. I highly recommend having an El Tlaloc taco truck at your party.“

“Honestly I thought this place might be overhyped but it was not. Our dish was pears, chicken, lo mein, peppers, and grapefruit and it was one of the best things I’ve ever had from a food cart (even some nice restaurants). No notes, will go back every chance we get.“

“This place is amazing. We always stop here when we visit the city. Definitely a hidden jem. Service was good, quick and food was amazing. Never brought someone that didn't leave raving about it. Burgers are sooo juicy and full of flavor. Don't even get me started on the onion rings. Sooo good. Worth the trip to Temple.“

“I drove all the way from Reading Pa a friend of my husband referred us and it worth the price and worth the trip the food was amazing and seasoned so well . I will be coming back again . I ordered the crab rolls and the shrimp scampi. Highly recommended and excellent customer service . I wish I could put more the 5 stars .“

“This is honestly the best birria taco I’ve ever eaten. Also tried the ramen and wow Best quality and the overall package I a lot of care goes into your order it is of high quality in and through . Try it 3 birria tacos 15$“

“I'm a new customer to Lil Trents. April 5 2025, I purchased a fried chicken sandwich. It was the best tasting sandwich I've purchased. Also, I had a slice of a pizza named blanco. It was absolutely delicious. I will purchase food there again and refer to friends and family.“

“I came to them during Ramadan. This guy asked me if I am a Muslim. I said yes, Alhamdulillah. It's just iftar time, I need to eat.
Then he told me: take this for free, from me. I refused, showing that I was very pleased, paid and thanked for the food! If anyone wants to eat, come here! Support the guys 🤲May Allah bless you all. Ameen“

“I love the Chicken Wrap been going to his truck for years and still haven't tried anything else I'm stuck on the Chickie..“

“The New York Gyro Truck at 41st and Walnut St. in Philadelphia is a hidden gem that serves up some truly mouthwatering fare! From their flavorful chicken over rice to their crispy, delicious falafel, every bite is a delight. The food is not only scrumptious, but the friendly and welcoming staff make the experience even better. Whether you're a student at Penn or just passing by, this food truck is a must-visit for a satisfying and tasty meal on the go. Don't forget to grab a refreshing soda to complete your meal!“

“Excellent food for the price. There's always a long line of people, which makes it quality food if people keep going back.

Kid-friendliness: My son has milk allergy and I was able to get the Caribbean J*** rice lettuce tomato and the side dish of beans and something else and it was like under $25 and we got Mexican soda and a dessert we shared the Mexican soda but he couldn't have the dessert cuz it wasn't dairy free the whole family was able to share the largest dish so it was enough for the whole family“

“We experienced the Dump & Roll food truck at 2SP brewery in Aston PA. We love 2SP’s beers and atmosphere, and they have a great assortment of food trucks Thursday-Sundays. Anyway, Friday night Dump & Roll truck was there, with a super friendly and enthusiastic Peter running it. We got the sampler for 2, which included everything on the menu for a really fair price. Sometimes I’m frustrated with how expensive food trucks can be, but I was really happy with Dump & Roll’s prices. Every dumpling was really good, paired with a sauce for each set. I loved everything, though I didn’t expect the mac & cheese eggroll. It was good, but the least of my favorites, if that makes sense. If you get a chance to try this truck, you won’t be disappointed! The food was great and Peter’s energy was great, so it was a really good experience!“

“I love food trucks...last night after pool I had a craving , it was pouring rain , 10 pm ..had rode past this truck many times , stopped...omg , the Best pork and Plantains ever...I called my son in Colorado to tell him when he comes back home we have to go here....yes...2 hrs from my house in the poconos ...but I'll be back !!“

“Tacos Don Memo serves hands down “the best” Mexican food I’ve had—no question about it! Coming from a family with roots in central Mexico, I can confidently say their tacos instantly transported me back to the streets of Mexico, sitting next to my dad, savoring every bite. It felt like home—comforting, authentic, and absolutely delicious.

Even though I live in Hainesport, NJ, I never hesitate to make the trip for their food. Distance is no obstacle when the reward is this good! I even convinced my husband to come with me to their food truck, and we both ordered the al pastor tacos with their spiciest salsa and an ice-cold bottled Coke. Let me tell you—it was *amazing*. Flavor-packed, satisfying, and completely worth it. Tacos Don Memo never disappoints!

I highly recommend them to anyone craving genuine, flavorful Mexican cuisine. The food is phenomenal, the team is incredibly friendly, and while prices may be slightly higher than some, the generous portions and quality ingredients make it more than worth it. Support local and treat yourself to something truly special—you won't regret it!“

“Definitely will be coming back. I got the lamb gyro. It was packed with tender, fresh lamb and the spicy sauce was the perfect heat.“

“The team at Jerry's Kitchen is amazing & we appreciate their vendor partnership with us! They pulled through for our team and went above & beyond to provide a memorable experience for our client! Would highly recommend to other event prod./planning companies in the area as well as any other clientele in need of some delicious food truck catering!“

“This is one of the best Mexican food trucks I’ve been to in Philly, without a doubt. Pollo and steak tacos are A+, and need nothing other than diced onion, cilantro, their perfectly fried onions, and salsa. The chicken tinga burrito is loaded with flavor, filled with plenty of tender, spicy chicken tinga, and not bogged down by too much rice, etc., so it’s well-balanced.

Mango agua was light and refreshing, and not too sweet. Their salsas are good and fresh, but at least one could be spicier. A little surprising, as the tinga is spicier than others I’ve had!

The main reason I’m docking one star is because the campechano quesadilla, although flavorful, had way, way too much grease drenching the quesadilla and the inside of the container it came in. The campechano would’ve absolutely worked better as a burrito, and could have been a better quesadilla if they’d drained some of the grease.

I’ve been just a few times, and may up my stars after I’ve tried more of the menu. I’m craving their burrito at this very moment, and will be back again very soon!“

“We are BIG fans of Burrito Feliz and decided to use them for a party and it was absolutely fantastic. They were great to work with while planning and very accommodating to all dietary needs. Everyone said it was delicious and the presentation of the catering was excellent. Will definitely use them again in the future!“

“Awesome meatball sub. And the sea salt fries are delicious.“

“The best Indian food we’ve had in Philadelphia. Must must go 🥳“

“On a hot summer day. I decided to try The King of Acai.
It was awesome. The staff are friendly and accommodating to your preferences. Since this my first time trying it. They explained what was available and that they will make it the way you like it.
It was fresh and delicious. Look for the purple truck. You’ll be glad you did.“

“Lots of options, reasonable prices & fast. I got strawberry/pineapple/mango/orange with maca & ginger. $8 (with the extras) for a large. Convenient parking bc it’s right next to rite aid on aramingo.

Vegetarian options: No meat is served here…it’s smoothies & fruit bowls. A halal cart is next to it though.

Parking: Wawa/rite aid parking lots“

“Best sausage around. ..breakfast was perfect“

“Me and my friend just got chicken over rice with hot sauce and white sauce and lamb over rice with barbecue sauce and white sauce and it was literally amazing! First time trying it and definitely coming back for more and it was only 8 dollars with a free drink and some salad!“

“The food was good. We had ordered 3 different pita wraps, and a shrimp over salad. They were all done well. The portion size was good. Drinks came free with each meal.Sami was a great guy to talk to. Friendly and hospitable.The parking lot opposite the cart is free to park.Will definitely come back, if I'm in the area.“

“Best Halal food truck in the city! Even better than some restaurants. 10/10.“

“Hired the Food Truck on July 12, for "Smith Family Gathering". The food and level of Professionalism was Superior. I appreciate their Service and Support of My Family“

“These meals are so tasty and filling! Thanks for providing these nutritious meals for the community!“

“If the man who runs this taco truck runs for mayor he has my vote. He has quality food, from his breakfast sandwich to his Quesadilla's everything is great. You get a different hot sauce almost every day, because you know it is likely made that morning and they are always good. And the pricing of his food is so good, it is practically a poor financial decision to not eat their.

Never change.“

“I visited the truck during my lunch break to pick up lunch for me and my mother. We both got the chicken over rice with the salad. The man in the truck was very nice and personable. The person in front of me ordered six plates, and he served them promptly. When it was my turn order, he greeted me warmly and served the food fairly quickly. The food is delicious and the portions are great, the meal comes with a drink as well. it's a plentiful serving because I only ate half for dinner and had the other half the next day for lunch and it was just as delicious. I think overall, you can't beat the delectable taste with the price. 10/10“

“I tried Nafi's over a year ago but I can't believe I forgot to leave a review. The food options are so much more unique compared to the other halal carts near 33rd & market. Chicken biryani and butter chicken are great. The owner is also a very nice guy.“

“We hired Dos Hermanos for our wedding food trucks and they did an absolutely fantastic job!! Jess Caldwell and all of the truck staff were so accommodating, attentive, and wonderful to work with. All of our guests have told us how much they enjoyed the food and atmosphere set by our food trucks and noted what great work the staff did cooking, serving, and setting up! Thank you SO MUCH for making the trip to NJ for us– you made our day so special and fun!! Will definitely be stopping by again for some lunch in Philly!“

“made to order. Dave has a great staff. very friendly.i highly recommend paying them a visit ):“

“My son is getting ready to ride his bike in a little while to treat us to the pork tacos which he knows is my favorite thing 😊 so much love and freshness with the cilantro and goodies mmm we have a million sandwich shops but they are the best around and it's a treat when he says he's getting us each our 3 with the fresh limes and 2 sauces just makes it delicious,my son has been going before the new bigger truck it's that good, Best wishes to you for putting love into each platter ♥“

“Huge fan, I’ve never had a bad sandwich at Johnny Hot’s, until today 8/30/24. I was supposed to have just pork roll on a steak roll with spicy mustard, no egg and no cheese. The pork roll is usually cut very thin with a nice braise on it. It had egg & cheese on it. The egg & cheese were warm the meat was cool, no grill color to it. By the time I took the egg & cheese off there was hardly any pork roll, very disappointed. It was “no change” Friday, so I gave my apprentice 15 dollars for a sandwich I couldn’t even eat.“

“There aren't any recent reviews, so if you need help deciding and don't want to spend a lot, go to The Foot Long Truck! They have a wide variety AND breakfast!

I just had the 6inch chicken cutlet with peppers and provolone w/ fries and soda. I can't believe I haven't tried them before now! The chicken was breaded nicely, you can see the cheese and it was very filling! I only ate half because there were three pieces of chicken on a toasted roll. The wait was no longer than any other truck that cooks to order. The ONLY thing that this sandwich was missing was a sauce. Add marinara or spaghetti sauce and maybe cooked onions and this sandwich would be 10/10. Without the sauce...I'd give it a 9/10! The service was very nice as well!“

“Excelente servicio, toda la comida es espectacular. Mi comida favorita los Tequeños y la salsa tártara espectacular. Si tú vives o vienes a Oklahoma City no te puedes perder comer en Maria's Food Truck“

“Was so excited to be back in the area to finally get fish, shrimp & rice. Went here because my usual place was not open. A little disappointed. It was ok but had a different taste than what I remember. No fault of theirs. Maybe I was just used to the cart location I previously frequented. Didnt really like the location. Too many young people loitering in parking lot.“

“Highly recommend El Rodeo tried them yesterday so darn good. Got quesadillas and 2 small tacos. The Salsa was also great and so was the rice. Also the carrots and jalapenos were amazing.“

“Visiting family in Philly and wanted to try a halal Philly Cheesesteak. Had some In The Uk with varied quality. Saad’s is way way ahead. Big, juicy, very very tasty. Reasonably priced, staff are lovely. Place is set up like a diner and kept very very clean. We are here a few times during our trip, tried others but had to come back. Eat j. And takeaway service is good. My recommendations. Cheesesteak with mushrooms, kofta hoagie. Had a chat with Saad, nice guy. Looked after us.“

“I love your smoothies, but I especially like your customer service. I feel appreciated and welcomed here. Great smoothies.“
