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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Yesterday was my first visit there. First, there was a sign indicating an invitation to use their back patio. I didn't know which way to access the patio so naturally I walked around to the other (wrong) side of the building searching for the back patio. I was met by two locked doors. I then walked down the path then around the front of the store and then I went in the other direction.... kept going... looking for the patio and found it in the back of the building where I placed my order. I was disappointed that there was no sugar-free ice cream but they had a vast array of cones. Then, I had to walk to another window to pick up my ice cream cone. The ice cream was really, really good though the prices were steep yet they asked for a tip in addition to the steep prices. Even with that, however, I will return. I was impressed that they were open in the middle of a rainy, cloudy Sunday afternoon. Their serving the ice cream cone in a little container was a cute addition.“

“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.“

“Flavorful, delicious, enough food for two people, and healthy. Cash only, $20. No substitutions, no menu, no cutlery, no plastic bags, no water, no napkins, long wait in line, and just one food item to choose from--whatever he's cooking that day. It's the most amazing mediterranean street food you'll have in Philly.“

“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 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 !!“

“Scott and his team are fantastic. We used Jerry's Kitchen for a company picnic and it went by smooth. Line kept moving which made it easier for everyone to get their food. The menu options were easy to choose from especially ones with dietary needs. Food was delicious and hot. Looking forward to using them in the future.“

“We got the steak and chicken tacos and they were so good. The tacos without the sauces were good but the green sauce was next level. Also you have to try the agua frescas. We got the watermelon and it was so refreshing. Would definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We found Nafi Food Express truck in Philly at 34th and Market 8 years ago when my son was craving Indian food after a very long and scary hospitalization at CHOP for RSV. We've loved it ever since! The meat is tender and tasty, the salad is spectacular and the owner is very nice and personable. Most importantly to us, the cart is clean and the owner is proud of his history of cleanliness. If you love Indian food this is THE place to get it. We would rather have this as a treat than some of the fancy Indian restaurants we've tried including Tiffin and Ekta and New Delhi. Plus, the amount of food is fantastic in size.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Food truck on the campus near the parking lot on the right. The chicken tacos were delicious! They give sauce, wedges of lime and cucumbers. The rice and beans were equally good. Prices are great, only $9.00 for 3 tacos and rice & beans. Plus you get a small bag of fresh nachos. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“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 ♥“

“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.“

“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.“

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