50 Best Food Trucks in Philadelphia

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

“As a student who lives in the area, this food truck’s location is perfect! Mohammad is extremely friendly, has very generous portion sizes, and his food has the best flavor around! It always makes my husband and my day when we get his food as it is SO GOOD! New York Gyro food truck is the best around and highly recommended!“

“I am SHOCKED at the quality of this humble food truck. The samosas, chili chicken, and saag paneer are as good or better than many local Indian restaurants —fantastic flavors and ingredient quality. The kindness and pride in her work of the woman behind the meal is also wonderful to see and so much appreciated. The affordable prices also mean I can make this cart a regular addition to my takeout rotation. Note — because everything is fresh it does take some time to prepare, I would say more than your average cart. I wouldn't at all let this deter you from grabbing food here, I would just recommend calling ahead.“

“Been coming here since 2014, and it remains the best lunch option in center city. The food is absolutely delicious.

You receive a huge portion that will leave most with leftovers. Gus prioritizes fresh ingredients every day and is, rightfully, proud of his efforts. $20 now and cash only / bring utensils if you plan to eat nearby.

This spot is a city treasure that remains a bit under the radar.“

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

“Must try the matcha+black magic combo on waffle! Matcha is my fav. So happy they have that flavor and it tastes GOOD! I used to have to go all the way to Chinatown to get that matcha ice cream. Staffs are friendly too, one of my fav places to go in the area now.“

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

“I’ve been waiting for a good go-to smoothie place, and Jenny’s does not disappoint!! I’ve been coming here all the time since they opened last year, and my order is always correct, quick, affordable, and so so delicious! They have so many different options and additions available. The ambiance is pleasant, and the people are always extremely nice and polite!“

“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!!“

“My wife and I eat a lot of tacos and ever since getting the tacos here, i compare all other tacos to El Amiguito, this place is the best! They are super friendly, delicious, and affordable. Really happy to have them as a part of the neighborhood community.“

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

“Good service from a food truck. The servers were friendly!

Carne asada was pretty decent seasoning, lots of meat, chopped small bite size. Not the most tender but has a bit of a chew. Classic with onions and cilantro.

Reminded me of a California taco at higher prices.“

“Awesome that’s all I can say.“

“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“

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

“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 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 eat here pretty much every day before work. The food is always amazing and you genuinely can’t beat the prices. Both of the dudes working the truck are super chill and down to earth. My favorite thing on the menu is the pancake sandwich but I’ve tried over half the menu and it’s all great.“

“We used Jerry’s for my 50th birthday and it was a huge hit. The team was great to work with and guests loved the food - especially the pulled pork! I usually do the cooking for parties but decided to make this one easy and I’m glad I did.“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Sean And the crew are always on point“

“The experience was definitely great. The wonderful hospitality. The staff was caring and they were very helpful. The food was delicious. I will definitely be back. Keep on doing what you're doing. The only thing missing is a catering menu. Definitely a 10/10/10“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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$“

“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.“

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

“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 !!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Los Jiménez catered two parties at my home and it has always been AMAZING! They were so incredibly kind and fast when taking the many orders we had from guests. Many people came back for seconds (and even thirds) which tells you how good the food is. I definitely recommend if you are looking for delicious food and/or a fun way to cater your party!“

“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.“

“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 ♥“

“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.“

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

“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“

“The food was very decent tasting, it could
Have been a little hotter as I was waiting for it and received it the minute it was finished but it was t very hit. The loaded potatoes were also slightly under cooked, not quite raw but also too firm to cut with the plastic knife“

“The food is absolutely delicious love the chicken over rice it's so good they make it just the way I like it and they give you so much for such a good price best I've ever had and tasted 😁💯 Thanks 🤗“

“I had an amazing experience at this halal food truck! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was lively with a great energy. It's a great spot for a quick lunch on the go. I would definitely come back again.“
