El Tlaloc parked at Wissahickon Brewery

I have no idea how to pronounce the name of this truck, but it is affectionately known as “EL T” so that’s what I usually call it. We were happy to see El T was parked at Wissahickon Brewery when we stopped in for some beer, so we decided to try the tacos. I had previously looked up this food truck before, and was excited to learn they were a family-owned business. They had a lot to choose from, but I had a hankering for some Birria (not shown on their menu below).

Los Jimenez Mexican Food Truck

It has taken me far too long to write about Los Jimenez, a food truck I’ve been visiting for years. With all the changes around campus and after the pandemic, many of the food trucks around here have come and gone or changed dramatically, but Los Jimenez has been a mainstay. I especially enjoy that they always have specials going on beyond their regular offerings, so there is always a chance to try something new. One of these days I’ll be in the mood for tamales before they have sold out of them!

Shrimp Tacos from Burritos Feliz

It’s been a while! After much encouragement and urging from colleagues, friends, and my husband, I have decided to bring the blog back in a limited capacity. My husband is very excited about searching out food trucks again and trying their food, I am finished with both of my graduate degrees and COVID lockdowns are hopefully behind us, so I finally have a little time to write again! For my first post back, I’d like to give a shout out to Burritos Feliz/Burritos Tijuana for putting the first idea in my head to bring the blog back. We ordered the tacos in the photo above back in April 2022, but I still remember how amazing they were.

Burritos Tijuana is the mini version of Burritos Feliz, and by that I mean it is a smaller taco cart run by the same owners. Both trucks put out amazing food full of flavor and spice. The first time we visited, back in April 2022, we stood in line for over an hour in the rain waiting for food at Wissahickon Brewing Company. We were both impatient and starving by the time we received our food, but boy oh boy was it worth it!

Burritos and Tacos Truck

Update: They named the truck El Guero Mexican Food Truck, so I am updating the title of this article. They appear to be doing really well, there is now always a line when I go there for lunch.

There’s a new taco truck on the Temple University campus, and they are serving up some delicious, authentic Mexican eats! I first visited this truck several weeks ago, and since then I have been back FOUR times. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Because I have visited so many times I have a lot to share about this much welcomed new addition to the Temple food truck community.

The Dos Hermanos taco truck is a busy, busy eatery. It took me over a month for our schedules to align so that I could sample enough of their goodies to give a proper review. Dos Hermanos (Spanish for “two brothers”) is run by Manuel and Gabriel Lezama. The pair of brothers were on a mission to bring authentic Mexican tacos to Philadelphia. They make everything–including their tortillas–completely from scratch. It’s the small details like this that make this truck truly special. Continue reading →

Farm Truck’s rotating menu features seasonal ingredients from the local area, with inventive combinations that keep it interesting for its patrons. They source their bread from local bakeries and their veggies from local farms. Met at the window by a cheerful order taker with amazing eye makeup skills, I visited the truck on a Thursday lunch session at The Porch at 30th Street. I was in the mood for tacos, so I opted for the buffalo chicken tacos served with housemade ramp blue cheese sauce, citrus pickled red onion, and arugula.

Mt. Airy Day

The annual Mt. Airy Day community festival took place on Saturday, May 5 on Germantown Avenue at the Cliveden historical park. This site was the exact spot where a Revolutionary War battle occurred. I volunteered to work at this event and also sampled a few of the food trucks that were parked on Germantown Avenue: Philly Fry, El Guaco Loco, and Pound Cake Heaven. All three trucks served up some tasty goodies!

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.

I must preface this post by saying that I spent fifteen years of my youth living all over California. Mexican food has to be exceptional for me to gush about it. That said, I thought Mexican Grill Stand was decent. The food was freshly prepared and the prices were excellent. Service was friendly and quick, and the portions were sizeable.

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.
