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!

Royal Zarasa truck

Royal Zarasa is a labor of love launched by Terrance and Tiffany Hopkins-Bey in February 2018 as a means to share Tiffany’s love of comfort food. With dishes like BBQ brisket, shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles, salmon slaw sandwiches, and chicken wings, Royal Zarasa’s southern inspired menu made it hard to decide on what to have for dinner as we visited Love City Brewing.

Slurp food truck specializes in made-from-scratch ramen, accompanied by Korean fried chicken and Asian-inspired tacos. Slurp owners boast that their ramen broth simmers for days, and I can attest that the flavor definitely packs a punch. On a cold, rainy night when soup sounded like a perfect end to a long day, I gathered a couple of friends to try out this truck.

Jungle Curry with Fried Chicken

I have been chasing this truck down since I heard it existed. I am not sure why our schedules never aligned until this glorious day, but it was definitely worth the wait. The Jungle Curry with fried chicken in the above photo passed my husband’s spiciness test. There were many tasty sounding items on their menu; it made the decision hard on both of us. And while the Crab Red Curry caught my eye, I ended up settling on the Lemongrass Coconut Curry with pork meatballs, and a couple of bao buns to start.

While I am a lover of Thai food, I am not very well-versed on Laos cuisine, so I was excited to hear that Flaming Basil was making an appearance at what is becoming my favorite bar in Philadelphia, that is, Love City Brewing Company. We sat down with our beer and perused the menu and decided to order a sampling of a couple appetizers and a couple entrees to see what they had to offer. Everything we tried was delicious!

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 →

It was a blazing hot day, one of those sticky humid July summer days where the air feels thick, when I was in search of a truck that was not where it said it would be. Having made the trek over to Drexel University already, I took a peek at the trucks that were there and decided Pitruco Pizza would be lunch. I was intrigued by the glow of the wood-fired oven inside the truck, as well as the interesting combinations displayed on their menu.  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.
