The Lola Sandwich from Mucho Bueno

Every Thursday evening, food trucks park at the Weaver’s Way Co-Op store in the Mt. Airy section of Northwest Philadelphia. This week, the Mucho Bueno taco truck and Zsa’s Ice Cream were parked on the corner so we opted to have a dinner date seated alongside the trucks. Mucho Bueno is known for their creative Mexican-BBQ fusion tacos, but my husband and I decided to try the sandwiches instead. There were a lot of choices, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. Sandwiches were large and served with a side of homemade tortilla chips. I was also pleased to find out that Mucho Bueno sources its ingredients locally. Even the tortillas for their tacos and chips are made in Philadelphia. The chicken and pork is smoked on their truck and the components of the sandwiches and tacos are homemade.

As I stood in line for Eppy’s lunch truck trying to decide on which of the many choices available would become my lunch, a lady in line chatted with her friend.

“Remember when this was like, the ONLY truck on this street?”

“Yeah, this one is the OG, and still one of my favorites,” her friend reminisced.

When I brought the chicken cutlet sandwich and fries back to my office (pictured here), one of my coworkers said almost the same thing.

“Eppy’s? I have been going there for years. It’s so good!”

There is no shortage of choices here at E&E Gourmet, where photos of and menu signs surround the entire truck with everything from burgers to wraps to breakfast to rice platters and Middle Eastern selections. One morning, I was not feeling my usual breakfast of oatmeal or yogurt, so I stopped at the truck to check out the omelette choices.

The first time I ate lunch on Temple’s campus, I visited this truck and ordered the pork with salsa verde and an order of chips & guacamole. I remember the chips were a bit stale and hard, so I just put the guacamole on my tacos. Delicious! However, a bit pricey at around $10 for 2 tacos and guac and a drink, compared to other trucks nearby. Most trucks on campus are closer to $5 and a lot of them give a free can of soda with a $5 purchase.

Lemongrass Pork and Rice Platter

Full disclosure here: I hadn’t planned on starting a blog when I took the photos you will see in my first post, so I apologize for the quality. They were quick snaps I had planned to use as a reference for future orders, and then I got the idea to start this blog.

Simply Yummy

Location: Parked near Broad and Montgomery Streets

Phone number: 267-225-8624, to call in or text orders

Pay: Cash only

Cuisine: Asian, American, Breakfast, and Vegetarian selections

What I tried: Lemongrass Pork and Rice Platter

Delivery: This truck uses Habitat for their food delivery service.

On this day I was craving some Asian food and the lemongrass pork platter caught my eye as I was making my rounds past the many food trucks at Temple University. It is priced well at $5.50 and includes lettuce and tomato, rice, lots of marinated and grilled pork, and an over-medium fried egg. Judging by the menu items I am assuming this leans more towards Vietnamese food.
