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.

The falafel bowl was very good and you get a lot of it so it is well worth the price, but it was pretty dry. It really could have used some kind of sauce.
That being said, everything was made fresh-to-order and the chicken was expertly grilled. I especially liked the bits of diced apple in the bowl I got.
As other reviews have stated, you need to bring your own utensil and find a place nearby to eat.

Only 1 item on the menu- $20, cash only.
And it is the best $20 you can spend on a food truck in Philadelphia. In a portion easily feeding 2 people, this falafel truck is worth every bit of praise and acclaim it gets.
Gus is one of the kindest people you will meet, and he is constantly mixing up his dish to surprise you with a combination of chicken, falafel, pasta, veggies and fruit that will make you ask how in the world anyone could make such a combination work so effortlessly.
10/10
