50 Best Food Trucks in Philadelphia

“Probably the weirdest platter I’ve had ever. There were charred/roasted grapes, peppers, chicken, avocado on top of noodles, along with a host of unidentified alien objects. But hey, we liked it! 😄 Lines are looong. Also the guy is quirky and kind, a Philly urban legend“

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

“I finally made it in! This spot did not disappoint. High quality taste, ample serving size (i can eat it in 3 servings) and a great cooking team, for the cost. I ordered the seafood salad and a scampi shrimp bowl. There is a wait as the food is cooked while you are there. Great job guys!“

“Erfan is a great guy! I had his food truck for two years during Covid while living nearby, he was there every day, and the food is super good and consistent. This time I returned to Philly and I came straight back, after all these years, his food is still amazing.“

“Food is soooo good!!!Workers were amazing so sweet and helpful!!“

“Sean And the crew are always on point“

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

“Bui’s = Life. You don’t have to have a Hangover to try the Hangover Special“

“Jenny’s is so predictably amazing, I go here at least once if not more in a week. The bowls are incredible and smoothies are always fresh and made to order. Everyone who works here is so kind too! I only wish they opened earlier so I could have more smoothies on my way to work! Love you Jenny’s!“

“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!“

“I’ve visited on several different occasions, and I always pay attention to how the cooks prepare the food. There’s one cook in particular — I think his name starts with a B — who I don’t see as often anymore, but he is always so friendly and welcoming. Every time he’s the one cooking my order, the food is perfect. I actually reorder certain items because I know he’s there.

Don’t get me wrong, the other cook is okay, but there have been a few mistakes on really simple items. I mostly order online, and I will forever be a Lil Trent’s fan, but I have to be honest — the dark-skinned cook definitely deserves more hours. He really does his thing back there.“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

“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“

“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 !!“

“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!!“

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

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

“Good halal food. Generous portions. I get the lamb and chicken over rice with the white sauce. It comes with salad and a drink. They do take cards. Me and my husband come from port Richmond just to get their food. And I just park in the save-a-lot parking lot“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best birria I've ever had!
It comes piping hot with melty cheese and stuffed with beef. The consomme is flavorful with bits of carrot, onion, and herbs, and isn't overly salty. Plus you get grilled onions, a spicy pepper, crunchy cucumbers and radishes, and super tasty salsas. They do not skimp out here.
Plus the people working the truck are super friendly and smiley. This place is a gem!“

“We are a fellow vendor at the Doylestown Farmers Market. Several weeks ago he had a muffaletta flavored ravioli that we purchased. The ravioli was incredible. It had so much flavor, including having mortadela inside. Can’t wait for him to be there again and hopefully have more of the muffaletta ravioli.“

“I've been eating from the trucks in this area for 5 years now and Nafi Food Express has become my favorite truck in the area. First, the owners of the truck are particularly friendly and generous to people in this area. Next, I absolutely love their chili chicken over rice. It is extremely flavorful and quite spicy. It's a refreshing and lighter alternative to the heavier foods served by trucks around this area. I can't recommend this dish enough. I also enjoy the $1 naan. I consider it a pleasure to recommend this food truck to people in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place has the best smoothies in the neighborhood. The menu is huge, and everything on it is genuinely good. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the fruit is always fresh. You can taste the quality in every drink. Easily my go-to spot for a great smoothie.“

“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.“

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

“This place is the best price to food ratio anywhere near Temple. The owners are great, both super nice guys who will go out of their way to help you. Prices are crazy low for this economy, you can get a combo that'll be two meals for under 10$. Long live footlong truck!“

“I love Zsa's and I have to exercise self control every time I pass. It's a local gem and sooooo yummy. The brown butter pecan is my absolute favorite but I haven't found any flavors that I didn't like. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options (including cones). Service is usually quick even when the line stretches past the building. So glad a new owner was able to take over and it didn't have to close... and that they brought in some new flavors. The matcha, Thai tea and mango sticky rice all slapped 🤤 I can't wait to see what else they come up with!“

“Where can you find a good quality tasty and satisfying lunch that's for less than $10 in town? Penn Halal food truck on 40th and Locust that's where! I didn't even have to ask for hot sauce because it's offered on most platters along with white sauce. (Definitely choose both. )There's plenty of seating on nearby benches and the campus grass too. If the weather is nice it's all the atmosphere you need!“

“BEST Smoothies EVER & GREAT Service!!!🙂“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you’re in Philly and haven’t stopped by Don memos truck yet, you’re seriously missing out. This food truck hands down has some of the best tacos and burritos we’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor fresh, juicy, perfectly seasoned, just amazing.

What made it even better was the people. They were super humble, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience feel even more special.

We’re 100% coming back. I haven’t had tacos this good in a long time Don memos is officially a must-stop every time we’re in Philadelphia.“

“Dos Hermanos Tacos catered our wedding and we could not have been happier with them. The communication before hand was on point and they left nothing up to chance. Set up on wedding day was perfect and the food was delicious.“

“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“

“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.“

“good spot to do that..need more green peppers“

“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 ♥“

“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“

“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.“

“Dos Hermanos Tacos catered our wedding and we could not have been happier with them. The communication before hand was on point and they left nothing up to chance. Set up on wedding day was perfect and the food was delicious.“

“Great food and nice staff. I had the milanesa torta and al pastor taco. it was delicious“

“I was visiting my daughter. We went to South Street, for whatever reason. We decided to get a bite to eat. She suggested Rock'n'Flavors. You talkin about delicious. OHH BOYYY. Finger lickin good. OMG. I think the first time I went I got the Salmon Bowl . I try to get something different each time I go!!! Every time I go to Philly I go to Rock'n'Flavors, if time permits... Y'all keep doing what you're doing. and the music is right on time. Check it out when you can. You will NOT be disappointed. Enjoy the Blessing. Peace“

“In my life and times that I've lived, I've found hospital halal carts to be of a higher quality. And this one is of no exception. I live in the neighborhood and was elated to see how close I was to a halal cart. What I was initially worried about was that it would be a sub-par one and it would only be frequented out of desperation for its close proximity. But my fears were for nothing because this cart is a cut above the rest! Quality abounds from always having succulent chicken to making the falafel fresh when you order it. Portions are generous making it a great value as well. Of course, a free drink per industry standard. You can tell that this cart serves the community well; many of them being in the noble profession of healthcare. I couldn't recommend this halal cart more to those who pass it!“

“Simply outstanding steak burrito. Ate half and realized I had to take a photo and leave a review. Probably the 10th steak burrito I’ve had from these guys. It’s always a 10/10. Today’s exceptionally good. I got one for my wife too and almost ate half of hers , but I thought better of it. I hope the truck on Oregon Ave never leaves.“

“I had an amazing experience at La Catratchita Taqueria! 🌮🔥 Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The quesabirria with consommé was absolutely delicious—rich, juicy, and packed with authentic taste. The asada nachos were loaded and satisfying, and the buffalo wings were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Even the homemade fruit drinks were refreshing and on point! 🍹 On top of that, the service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to—and I highly recommend it to anyone craving great Mexican food! 💯“

“I'm a big fan of the Mexican grill stand. Everything I've ever ordered has been fresh, with perfectly balanced seasoning. The food here is in a whole different league than anything you'll get at one of the cali-mex or tex-mex burrito chains (prices are about the same). The shrimp tacos combine tender & juicy shrimp with pico de gallo and a creamy/spicy sauce--tastes like it's mayo or sour cream based. The steak tacos have chopped white onions and fresh cilantro. Both come in real-deal double soft corn tortillas. Squirt some lime on everything! Enjoy a perfect lunch. But don't bother with their little salsa cups, both green & red are lackluster.“

“New York Gyro is a standout — full 5 stars! The food is excellent: juicy, well-spiced chicken & lamb gyros with fresh veggies, creamy tzatziki, and that perfect NYC street flavor. Portions are generous and everything tasted super fresh.
Service was fast and friendly — quick smiles and orders out in no time. Atmosphere is classic halal cart style: clean, casual, bustling energy that feels authentically New York.
Great value for a satisfying, flavorful meal. One of the best gyros in the city — highly recommend!“
