    Delicious! Had the beef tacos. Two for $5 is an amazing deal and they are very decently sized. Two will fill you up no problem. These are not your puny little tacos that are so small you will need at least three. Also, he put plenty of green sauce, white sauce, and cotija cheese on them which gave them a nice kick. Only downside was that two regulars who speak Spanish cut in front of me by speaking Spanish and ordering ahead of me. This is the only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars. Came here at 2pm on a Monday and got my tacos by 2:12 even with the people who cut me though. But it would be nice if people were a bit more considerate. Or maybe I'll need to step up my Spanish game.

    Awesome beef taco

    I was walking uptown from doing some shopping on the LES and I was craving tacos. It seem like every place is a crappy chain or bad rendition of American/Mexican food from what used to be a bad Chinese food place. I wanted some authentic messy tacos so I turned to Yelp and decided to check out Antojito. I had the "address" in my head, knew I was in the right area but couldn't find the store front for the life of me. After walking by the cart 4-5 times I finally stumbled on it and ordered 3 tacos. I got a carnitas and 2 pastor tacos and walked them to the nearest park because I knew I would have to sit down to eat these awesome tacos. They really were awesome. Two corn tortillas, stuffed the brim with meat, pico, and sauces. I think I paid about $7 for the 3 tacos and they were well worth it. I can't wait to find time to go back down to visit this place. I will be trying other meat offers they have in other delivery forms such as the gordita! I will definitely be bringing friends who enjoy authentic Mexican.

    Chicken platter comes with chicken, rice and bean, veggies and cheese. Some fresh tortillas on the side.

    I am kind of surprise it has 4 1/2 star, here is why... i wanted to eat some mexican food for lunch so I search here on yelp and read the reviews, I must say that even though I did speak spanish and there was a line some people will SKIP the line, they either dont see the line or ignore the fact that people are waiting on line, they just go ahead and order so that's a problem, whether you speak spanish or not it doesn't matter people will skip you, for some reason they are not aware of the line. The food, I order the platter. Chicken platter and its just so so I didn't find it great. Its just ok, maybe I should have order tacos instead of the platter. While eating I bite two chicken bones already. Yes BONES. For $6 a platter I guess you pay for what you get, I might plan to go back for the tacos just to try them but the platter is definately a no no for me.

    Came here for lunch on a Friday. Line was a little long but not like, Sweetgreen long. I asked for just rice and beans, and the guy offered to put some lettuce, hot sauce, and cheese on it. Rice and beans were as expected, sauce was the right amount of hot (very), overall a decent lunch for $5.

    Food is good. I got the Plato de Cecina which is $7 but I added some choriz(sausage) and it came out to $9. They are nice and even give you 4 extra grilled tortillas on the side. Get the white cream sauce or red hot sauce on top.

    Adore a really cool food truck with a cool Mexican guy who will make you something good if you can't decide what you want. That was me last week after a bad experience at overly priced and mediocre Cafe El Presidente. I wanted cheap good Mexican. The guy basically hooked me up with a nice chicken and rice platter with all of the traditional trim. It was cool, I'll be back. $6 bucks.. how can you go wrong?

    I asked if he had soft chicken tacos. He said yes. Now that I'm eating the tacos I'm not sure if I actually have chicken tacos. I think I have pork! Why do that!?!!??? I do not eat pork meat! Maybe if I go back, I would have to try rice and beans

    Authentic tacos. This place and New York bakery around the corner are the best places for Mexican in the area.

    Where is this truck located? Been walking around the block and I can't find them anywhere!

    It is on 6th ave, usually somewhere between 30th and about 26th, I've only seen it on the east side of the street. He also just isn't there sometimes. I'd say if the temperature is below 50, highly unlikely he'll be there 😂

    Heard that Anthony Bourdain loved this spot for hainan chicken and rice, which is a comfort dish…read morefor me and I really understand why. The chicken was very tender, well prepared, and so were the veggies. I think it has stiff competition by way of Lou Yau Kee but is definitely up there as top 5 southeast chicken rices in the city! I would def come back here and what's great is that you can feel healthy bc it's steamed/poached chicken, rice and veggies :) It's inside Urban Hawker, so you can get a variety of other things to go with your meal - might I recommend Kopi (malaysian coffee) at the nearby stand? The flavors were bold, authentic, and the chicken skin was silky smooth. The cucumbers had a nice crunch and the veggies as well. They give you two sauces, one of them is spicy and might be hotter than you expect so try it first.

    Hainan Jones is located in Urban Hawker. Urban Hawker is an authentic Singapore street food center…read morelocated in the heart of New York City and it is the first of its kind in the United States to feature stalls from the UNESCO hawker centers of Singapore. The vendors represent essential cuisines like Malay, Peranakan, Chinese, Indian, Southeast Asian, and Asian-style Western favorites. The first time I went to Urban Hawker was in December 2022, so I was very happy to be back again. I went to Hainan Jones for the Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice. The menu offers two chicken rice sets: poached or roasted Hainanese Chicken Rice, Chicken Porridge, or a salad. Hainanese Chicken Rice is considered one of Singapore's most celebrated local dishes and is the star at Hainan Jones. I ordered the Signature Poached Chicken Rice Set ($19). The rice set is served with very fragrant chicken rice and broth accompanied by oyster vegetables with fried shallots, cucumbers, a chili sauce, and dark soy sauce. It didn't take very long for the order to be ready. The poached chicken was very smooth, tender, and tasty. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken by itself and dipping it in the dark soy sauce. It was a good portion and very filling. My husband got the roasted chicken and he enjoyed it. There are plenty of tables for seating at Urban Hawker. After eating, I bought the tray to the trash area and there were staff taking the tray and cleaning tables. I'm looking forward to the next time I can visit Urban Hawker.

    I've gotten adels every single time I've gone to NY…read more Yes line is long but this is the best halal cart. Workers are super nice too and friendly. I get the chicken and gyro mix with spicy rice. Rice is not spicy don't worry. Also their chicken is like marinated unlike some other halal carts. I get all sauces except bbq. The gf does all the sauces except red sauce cause that one IS spicy One time they accidentally put fries on my plate but now it's a non negotiable for me. Ask for it on the side if you don't want it to get soggy. If I'm feeling extra big back I throw some falafel on that shi too. If you wanna skip the line, just order on Grubhub. It's more expensive yes but worth it if you're not tryna wait an hour

    I'm not even joking, I went to Adel's like 3 nights out of the 5 nights I was in New York…read more This was probably the most worth it meal I had the entire trip. The line literally tells you everything... waiting an hour at like 1 AM for halal food sounds insane until you try it. The meat was SO good bro I still can't stop thinking about it. Biggest hack: get the white sauce on the side and add extra meat. They absolutely drown it in sauce if you don't, and the sauce gets kinda heavy after awhile. On the side is perfect. I genuinely need to go back already lol

You're at a food court. With some luck you can snag a seat and chow down but office lunchers will probably just head back to their desk. Was told that the fish was super crispy so I got that with fried rice. Purposely asked questions in Canto to let them know I'm with the home team. Fried rice is made to order and it's actually decent. Food comes out piping hot. The fish is covered with a thick breading that reminds me of the frozen breaded tilapia from Trader Joe. It's a big serving (ended up with enough left over for a second meal) but you'll have to work thru that breading. On its own it has pretty much no flavor but it comes with a black pepper sauce that you'll need. The sauce is weirdly thick but along with the thick breading the fish will stay crispy.
