50 Best Food Trucks near Elmhurst

“(Translated by Google) The food was very good and the staff too except the short-haired lady. A very despotic attitude, I don't know if she's the owner or what, but they always order with anyone else.(Original)La comida muy buena y el personal también excepto la sra de pelo corto. Una actitud muy despota, nose si es la dueña o que pero siempre ordenen con cualquier otra persona.“

“Tasty and fresh Mexican dishes. Dishes to choose from with various additions: meat, fish, and vegetarian versions with cauliflower or tofu. Aromatic dishes, good looking, tasty, filling and warming, prepared on site in front of the customer in an open kitchen. Delicious spicy homemade sauces. Very polite service taking the order with a smile.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian dishes with cauliflower or tofu. Crispy tofu was unfortunately not crispy.“

“Shame on me for not visiting this food truck earlier. This is by far the best food truck for Italian sausage and Philly cheesesteak and only $12 each What a bargain.

Everything cooked right in front of you hot and fresh and did I mention the outstanding service the two gentleman in the truck provided. Both so warm and inviting, made me feel like a regular though it was my first time.

No doubt I will be back soon to try out the rest of the menu, including hotdogs and knishes.

Keep up the great work and serving great food.“

“Wonderful service. Courteous and professional above all and friendly to boot. The Food is delicious and with the added lunch menu of tacos is an extra delicious treat. During this Pandemic it's comforting to know we can depend on them fora quick & tasty breakfast . Supporting them during these trying times is extremely important as well. Im grateful and appreciative for them to continue working hard and providing this service to us. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank You Family Coffee Truck🙏🏾🥰“

“Where is the 6-star button!? This is one of the best falafels that I've ever had. Sam makes the sandwiches to perfection - the falafels balls are made to order, the pita is filled with silky tahini, and the vegetables are perfectly crunchy. At $8 for a sandwich and $1 for a drink, it beats anything. If you want falafel, that's the one.“

“I got the combination chapli and vanilla pudding. Worth the price. Fluffing amazing flavor.
Combination chapli has one chicken patty kebab and one beef patty with rice, fries, and salad. I personally could have lived without the fries.
Pudding is great.
Sorry for the posted photo, I ate most of the food.

Just try it. You won't regret it.“

“This cart is right off the Grand Ave Station so I usually stop by on my way home.

The person working is usually different everytime I go but they are all so kind! And they really pack in what they can into the to-go container. I guess it depends on how much you eat but it usually lasts me 2 meals.

They take both cash and card which is also really convenient.“

“Needed some late night tacos, didn’t expect much, totally blown away. These were better than any sit-down restaurant I’ve been to in ages. Perfect portion, tons of flavor in the chicken, friendly guys, fantastic price. Total hidden gem.“

“The food from this truck is absolutely delicious and clean, the people are very nice and hard working. My Father and I have been purchasing meals from here weekly. So far, we have tried falafel over rice, lamb, chicken, sandwiches, and fries. Good stuff. Open 24/7. 👍🏼 👍🏼“

“Some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in Manhattan. The staff is friendly, patient, and very fast. What a wonderful place!“

“Excellent service, Fresh Food, Great Prices! Highly recommended“

“My first time having fuska at fuskahouse Yummm! Can’t explain how taste it was It reminded me my childhood fuskawala Great food & will recommend all my F& F.“

“Always fresh and delicious food options including Vegetarian choices. Chef Omer combines Turkish food specialties with Classical American street food. They have Gozleme (Turkish Pancake) with Cheese, Potato or Spinach, amazing grilled fresh fish, chicken gyro, falafel, tacos… Even Turkish Tea. Thank you for bringing this wonderful menu to us.

Vegetarian options: Gozleme, Falafel, Salad“

“The Banh Mi Cart is my favorite part of working in the Financial District. They’re only open 4 hours a day but boy do they deliver! Hot, delicious ready-to-eat Vietnamese banh mi’s ? And the two uncles working the cart are super friendly and are the most honest, hardworking people I’ve met. I’ll have to try to get there earlier because the roasted pork banh mi is sold out everytime!“

“I've lived in the neighborhood for 2yrs and finally decided to Try this Restaurant and it hasn't disappointed me yet! I was confused on what dish to get so the cashier (young lady with glasses) recommended "Chicken TIkka" it's so yummy ? the food was hot and freshly cooked this is my third time visiting. I'll definitely be back to try more items off the menu. I Also like they are open lateeeeee“

“Been here a few times now and can say quality and taste is consistently delicious, the flavor is top notch and is the best falafel and halal cart food I’ve ever had. Ahmed the owner is super genuine and cares a lot about his quality and service. 10/10 spot“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“What a gem. Got a chicken burrito and it was exactly what I wanted: plenty of chicken, loaded with rice and beans, good tortilla that they grilled just right. And the guys working the truck are super nice, overall great experience for the price.“

“Great food and great people all around.“

“I love this food truck. Best food truck in NY! Guys are funny, kind, pleasant and working hard lovely people. Food is so yummylicious!!!! I love the beef Sharma so I always got that. Until yesterday I wanted to try something new. So I got the beef kebab and Kefta (? Not sure if I spelled it rt) but it's like a thin burger patty. These were sooo good too!!! Now I'm have to go back for more lol. I got sauce with mine. But naw. Their food is soooo good. You should get the sauce on the side! Taste it trufully haha. Price is good. And portion is good. Iam a lady who can eat! And I can't finish it all st once! My husband can. But he gets full after. ? I highly recommend this food truck if you wanna try a real halal food! Their meat taste and feels real as compare to other food truck lamb,, it feels like canned meat... OMG also Their falafel I'd THE BEST! So crunchy and flavourful!! ??“

“Los mejores tacos que he comido en mi vida!“

“Update: Tried this place again and I gotta change my review from 4 stars to 5. Got a combo over rice with extra meat and it was packed. More importantly though, it was delicious. I don't know if it's because I was hungry but the food I got yesterday was made really good, so much so that I'd actually say this cart is among the top 5 halal places I'd recommend. There seemed to be more lamb this time, like 60% chicken to 40% lamb but I didn't mind it much because the chicken was very juicy and flavorful. It felt like I was eating heaven and this might be my new go-to but given that it's a little of a way from my house, I don't know if I'd be coming here often. What I do know is that it's right in front of the hospital and if I worked around there, I'd be getting even fatter. For the purposes of my health, it's probably a good thing that I don't live too close to this cart. 10/10

Original review: Got a combo over rice and despite costing $1 more than the chicken over rice, the combo was basically 90% chicken and 10% lamb so it was basically a chicken over rice with a few lamb pieces sprinkled in. Despite me feeling ripped off, the chicken over rice was actually quite good. Chicken was tasty and well seasoned and I'd say that this is definitely one of the better halal carts out there in the area. Not the best but pretty good, and the prices weren't terrible.“

“Phenomenal birthday cake for my mom. Light yet not too airy, great natural flavors and perfect balance of icing and cake. Also, you don’t feel bad after eating it. It’s just sweet enough that it’s satisfying, yet it’s not overpowering at all.

The only thing more phenomenal than the cake is the owner, Melissa. A chat with her will make your day. She is a real one and a good soul. We’ve got to protect her at all costs!

Go to this bakery ASAP!“

“Highest quality halal food cart in the city! The owner always treats me right. The chicken over rice is amazing and the spicy/brown rice is the BEST in NYC.“

“I love her delicious Fresh Salmon along with her home made specialty kraut. She is perfect for parties special events concerts and her C S is lovng and kind.“

“This truck is the closest I've come to eating true, authentic Venezuelan food in years. Everything I've had here is fresh and so flavorful, you can tell the ingredients are of the best quality.

Food aside, the people that work it are welcoming and so sweet! If you're not Venezuelan they take the time to walk you through the menu/give recs, and if you are Venezuelan they are a much needed dose of home. Everything is delicious, but the cachapas and tequeños are unreal.

Could no recommend enough!!!!

Vegetarian options: A lot of dishes are corn based with cheese, most items can be adapted to be vegetarian.“

“Los mejores tacos de Nueva York“

“I only ate one burger, but it was the best burger I've ever had. The only downside is that the top bun was fine, but the bottom bun was so wet that it was very difficult to hold by hand. If you go to Central Park, you must eat it. After eating, your hands will be covered in grease, so be sure to take something like wet wipes with you. I had a hard time without it.“

“it was amazing!! The proportions of the chicken and rice were in large amounts. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was soft. The salad on the side was very fresh. Overall I recommend this place for kids and adults. The spice levels canbe altered by asking for little hot sauce and more white sauce. The price is affordable and it is ready in less than 10 minutes.“

“This food truck serves some of the heartiest momo on the streets of Jackson Heights. We got 8 thick and meaty beef momo for $8 at Amdo Kitchen. The go-to sauces here are the red sauce and white sauce. The halal momo are complimented with a thicker, chewier dough than other momos - it takes me three bites to finish each one. Amdo Momo is a favorite for those looking for an authentic taste of Tibetan cuisine. Don't forget to ask for the side of radish!“

“Got the chicken over rice here and wasn't expecting much but was surprised by the value and taste. The serving was more than enough for two people and the taste was good. He even put in extra sauce and salad for us. No nonsense and definitely would recommend this food truck if you're looking for halal food in SoHo.“

“This food truck always has a line - for good reasons. Have tried their burger and kale salad - both were fantastic. Can't wait to try more items on their menu. Price is reasonable and service is always friendly. Go - you won't regret it.“

“What a deal and it was great food. There is another Mido cart nearby that was empty (nobody ordering food), so I don’t know what’s going on there, but the food here was great. I had the lamb and chicken on rice with salad. I had white sauce and a but of barbecue sauce with red sauce on the side. For under $10 including tax, it’s one of the best deals you can get. No photos for this review because I ate all the food before I realized I hadn’t taken a photo. It’s great for a late night munch.“

“I have been going to Tommy's food truck for the past 15 years, and I have to say that I have never had a meal that wasn't short of great!! From the grilled Chicken Caesar wrap to the Bacon cheeseburger ( On my cheat days of course;)). This food truck brings a taste of home to the streets of the West side. Tommy, and Armando treat every customer as if they were family. In a city with many food carts and trucks this is one place that's a must!!!“

“As I walked down the bustling city street, my eyes were immediately drawn to a colorful food truck parked at the edge of the sidewalk. The exterior was vibrant, wrapped in bold hues of turquoise and orange, with hand-drawn illustrations of steaming bowls of terrys and stacks upon stacks of yakis, just what i came for. The name of the truck, "Terry and Yaki" was painted in a playful font, inviting passersby to stop and indulge in something delicious. The aroma in the air was intoxicating—a blend of spices, grilled yakis, and something faintly sweet, it was the terry's. It danced through the evening breeze, tantalizing enough to make my stomach rumble, despite the fact that I wasn’t even hungry.

I didn’t eat there, but the food truck looked incredible, a perfect marriage of design and function. The window was flanked by chalkboards displaying the daily specials: "Tuesday Terrys," "Yakis and Yakis" and they switched it up that day with some "Yakis and Terrrys" Each description sounded like a little adventure, a story in itself. I imagined the explosion of flavors in my mouth—the spicy kick of Terry on my soft, soft mouth, the zesty brightness of lemongrass mingling with the tender terry, the crunch of fried yaki wrapped in something soft yet crispy.

A small line had formed in front of the truck, and the people in it were chatting excitedly as they waited for their orders, their faces glowing under the soft lights that adorned the top of the truck like twinkling stars. "Il take a yaki to go, hold the terry" said the valuable customer. The chef, visible through the window, presumably named Terry, but it might be Yaki i dont know though I dont work there. What do I know however, was how he(?) moved with precision and speed, his(?) hands a blur as he(?) expertly plated each dish. He(???) would glance up occasionally, smile, and exchange a few words with the customers, adding a personal touch to the whole experience.

I could sense that this wasn’t just about the food—it was about the moment, the connection between the creators and the consumers. The truck itself, like a moving beacon of culinary creativity, seemed to promise more than just a meal. It was offering an experience, one that would linger long after the last bite. Even though I didn’t order anything, just standing there, observing the scene, felt like being part of a shared narrative, one written in the language of food, atmosphere, and community.

As I walked away, the scent of the food still trailing in the air behind me, I couldn't help but think that one day, I would come back and finally taste what "Terry and Yaki" had to offer.

“Some of the best cleanest chimis I've had in over a decade, and they must get the ketchup and mayo imported from DR because I was transported from that first bite, the quipe was a 10/10 and the homemade hot sauce brought it to and 11/10. I really hope the guys keep doing what they're doing because it's great and I want a place I know I can rely on.“

“The best Taco Tuesday in town! 4 tacos for $12, don't walk - RUN to get their delicious food.

The chicken burrito is delicious & my very picky Punjabi parents LOVEEEDDDD the chicken tacos. Indian people love Mexican food, that's for sure.

Their fresh made guacamole is out of this world. The most delicious & creamy avocados.

They are also very clean, they change their gloves between each order & it's so nice to see how much they care about presentation.“

“Unbelievable fuchka — haven’t had fuchka this good in a long time. Definitely rivals the best fuchka in Bangladesh.“

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...“

“I love this spot! I always get beef or chicken chimi. I haven't tried anything else. The beef is great but the chicken can be hit or miss. Don't get me wrong it's good but some nights they put a lot of chicken some nights they don't.“

“My first time having fuska at fuskahouse Yummm! Can’t explain how taste it was It reminded me my childhood fuskawala Great food & will recommend all my F& F.“

“We decided to try out this taco truck since we were in the area. The tacos are a little more expensive than typical places but the amount of meat in each taco made up for it! The flavors of each taco were so delicious. We got an arrangement of carnitas, carne asada, and bistec. We also got a side of guacamole and it was super fresh and delicious. The wait was a bit long so definitely order ahead of time for pick up. Overall, the food was really good and would definitely come back here again!“
