    Exterior of the food truck

    This food truck visited my job a few weeks ago. I got a chicken sandwich, the chickano, with a side of rice and black beans (I love black beans). I thought it was pretty good. It was actually VERY filling, so much so, I skipped dinner that night. The prices were reasonable, and they accept credit cards. A lot of my coworkers enjoyed the food, this was evident because rumor has it the truck actually sold out of bread and had to leave early.

    Came to Pier 13 and wanted to grab a bite to eat that was different than the other options and let me tell you... WOW! I ordered the platter which came with white rice, black beans (deliciously seasoned), lechon, and tostones. I felt like I was right at home. My meal reminded me of family dinners, and I felt the care and transfer for love with each bite. I also ordered the cuban sandwich which was also delicious! I cannot rave about this place enough, and I hope to have a bowl of love again very soon!!!

    This is a food truck that a few of my friends have raved about. So when I finally had a chance, I took it. I ordered their Chickano sandwich. I thought it was pretty tasty. The chicken was nice and tender and I love the perfectly toasted bread. The sandwich was generally well-portioned for the amount of money it cost too, though it was very flat. I look forward to getting from them again.

    The best cubano this side of Miami. If you see them at an event near you definitely try them. Great service and friendly staff too. Highly recommend them!

    Thought it was tasty for the first time i went there. Flavorful and marinated cubano sandwich with nice flavoring but it will leave you somewhat hungry and for $8....you can get something of more value. You should try it out and see. Oh and get their special hot sauce.

    (Dined 09/20/2025 SA @ 1:30pm): Filipino street food from a truck was the way to go!…read more While friends and I enjoyed the 14th Annual All About Downtown Street Fair that celebrated and promoted the businesses and vendors in downtown Jersey City, It was time to get our drink and food on, which secondarily brought us to Kanto Filipino Street Food Truck. Before the pandemic, I used to work a ton of local outdoor events where food trucks lined up ready to take you money. During that time, I got very familiar with these mobile businesses, their owners, and sometimes even hired them for events I was a part of. After the pandemic, some of these events sadly folded, so I pivoted to other avenues for outdoor entertainment work that were less-focused on food trucks and more on actual booths/stalls. Nowadays, my more poignant exposure to these meals on wheels was at breweries and various street festivals. "Born" in 2024 by husband and wife duo John and Mary Jo who both grew up in Pampanga - the Philippines' culinary capital, this veteran and family-owned food truck and trailer served authentic Filipino street eats and charcoal-grilled skewers across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas. In Tagalog, "kanto" translated to corner or street corner where Filipino street food was sold. How was their little traveling kanto compared to other Filipino food trucks I've eaten at!? PURCHASE(S) BBQ Pork Isaw 1 Skewer 4pc ($4.00): Marinated and grilled traditionally over charcoal, it was bouncy, chewy, and with a slight charring at the edges from the grill. I laughed as none of my friends wanted to try this (more for me!) when it basically was a type of sausage - yummy! BBQ Chicken 2 Skewers 8pc ($15.00): Smoky sweet-savory barbecue grilled fresh on the truck, each piece was juicy, tender, and thick that tantalized my taste buds. These appeared to be the favorite of many as I scanned the customers! Credit Card Fee 4.00% ($0.76): Passing along such fees to the consumer was just the direction where the economy was going... SERVICE A friendly female warmly greeted us, took our orders, and less than ten minutes later, all of our food was ready. They had a constantly busy line, so there wasn't much time for chit-chat, which was fine. Everything was efficient and straightforward - salamat! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): This was a moot point since we walked the slightly flat-to-downhill leisure 20-minute distance from my friend's place. Additionally, because the main drags of Newark Ave. and Grove St., respectively, and adjacent side streets were all closed to vehicular traffic, parking was extremely limited and generally pushed to the periphery of the event area - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient catering/food truck/pop-up tent with a limited food menu where you placed/picked-up your order, no area for condiments, napkins, utensils (maybe they supplied these if you asked), nor designated seating area except for the ample outdoor DIY space such as the curb or planters, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while plenty of electric street lighting glowed once the sun went down. There were no TVs while the sounds of consumerism, conversations, kids, and off-in-the-not-so-distant vehicular traffic could be constantly heard in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I thoroughly enjoyed my eats from Kanto Filipino Street Food Food Truck, and I would seek them out again if I saw a row of food booths/trucks at the next event I attended (come to Los Angeles!). I'm Pinoy and loved Filipino food, so I may be biased, but they were doing their nationality proud. My only recommendation to them was to try and include other staple Filipino food on the menu such as babinka, crispy pata, lechon kawali, pancit, and pork adobo. I only mentioned this because some Filipino food trucks in L.A. have managed to have a slightly expanded menu with some of these dishes, too. The prices were relatively comparable, the food and portion size were very good, and the service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $21.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    It's was ok could of been better or wept away from table service wasn't best could work ok thatread more

    New management - poor service, rude server , poor time management …read more We have been coming to mamma vittoria on every occasion ( 5 times ) every time we had a great time however few days ago we had the bad experience and won't recommend .

    My family has been throwing parties at this venue for YEARS. This is the first year booking a party…read morehere under their new management. My mom's 60th birthday party was planned to start at 6pm & I was told by Jude that we are able to come 2 hours earlier to start setting up and that he would help. We arrived at 4 pm & found previous party guest still in the venue and staff not even attempting to clear the room. I was met with a woman who rudely told me that there are still guests in the room and that we have to wait until they are done cleaning. (Our party started in an hour at that point, it was a half assed cleaning job) Jude had arrived half an hour later. I called the venue 14 times to try and clear things up and no one answered. Prior to the party, I was trying to explain that we need more time than just 2 hours to set up and I was dismissed with condescending remarks as if we were just throwing some pictures on the wall and a few balloons here and there. They should've had the previous party end and cleared out hours before. There was no water, soda or bread set on the tables for our guests when they came in. When my aunt asked of the ladies working for some soda, she was apparently very rude. Our event was from 6 pm - 10 pm. I understand that the lights will be turned on when the party is over but there was no courtesy warning a few minutes before. This is a message to the new management - take it from someone who has been in the restaurant industry for 12+ years, you lack hospitality and your greediness for money shows in the way you interact with your clients. Needless to say, they will be losing us as clients and to anyone reading this review, just know we aren't the type of people to complain about ANYTHING. Don't waste your money here.
