I got shrimp tacos and a hibiscus agua Fresca for lunch and they were hands down the best tacos I have ever had. Super nice people and also reasonably priced. thank you!!

Chicken Tacos!! OMG!!

There's nothing like a good authentic taco and this food truck provides that experience. I don't live to far from this truck and I drive pass it all the time while working. Today I decided to stop and grab some tacos even though it's raining. Glad I did too! I ordered 3 chicken tacos and they were prepared fast and hot. Like, I actually watched him cook it and it was reasonably fast for a food truck. I see myself going to this truck more often instead of making a run for the border! It's a bit more money and well worth it. Check me out if you love a good taco!

Just look and salivate

Dos Hermanos are you guys looking for a step brother, maybe call it Tres Hermanos? Think about it, I'll break out the Agave at the next gathering. These guys are simply awesome, probably some of the freshest ingredients used coming out of a food truck . Dos Hermanos is one of the heavy hitters at any Night Market event. If you see this truck , just drop everything and get in that line. If and when you do see these guys in Philly , I don't care what is on your agenda you need to alter it so you can get a fresh taco. I will say this , the only time I will accept any kind of fruit in my meal will be in an Al Pastor. A lightly grilled pineapple mixed with that pork with those spices, cilantro, freshly squeezed lime and their salsa verde (green salsa) will make me do a shimmy. A spicy, lets kick it up a notch with the occasional "wheew" is what you'd be saying. Flavors upon flavors blowing your taste buds up like it was Cinqo De Mayo! Ok I just got chills just thinking about it, remembering my pure enjoyment from this truck. You know what else will have you doing a Mexican hat dance in the streets is their Chorizo and Carne Asada tacos ! Eye-Chi-Wow-Wa they are simply irresistible , now you know why there is a line just to get at that window. Dos Hermanos makes a guacamole that is on point. Get their chips , squeeze some lime over them, and destroy that guacamole. Hey also if you add some pico de gallo to the guac you just brought this to a whole different level. You're welcome by the way. Dos Hermanos you guys are friggin fantastic. Keep up the good work, and think about adding me to the family. Every family needs an Italian in their circle.

Dos Hermanos is a Mexican food truck located primarily in University City. Their menu reads "AUTHENTIC MEXICAN CUISINE" at the bottom. In my opinion, there's a big difference between authentic tacos and fast food tacos. Authentic tacos are full of flavor and have just the right amount of spices to kick things up a notch. Fast food tacos are what you would get from Taco Bell. I never have and never will eat at Taco Bell (don't @ me). I arrived at the truck around 12:30pm and was instantly greeted by the friendly staff. What immediately stood out to me on the menu was their deal of three tacos for $9.00. The tacos are served with your choice of meat or vegetable filling, chopped onions, cilantro, and your choice of mild or spicy salsa. There were a lot of unique filling options but I decided to go with carnitas, which is pulled pork if you are unfamiliar with the term. They also serve burritos, shrimp tacos, and homemade tortilla chips with salsa. The staff here is very quick to fulfill their orders. Even with more and more people stopping by to order, I don't even think I had to wait five minutes for my food. The tacos were served inside two soft shell tortillas instead of one. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered soft shell tacos and had them fall apart almost instantly. Typically, the tortilla absorbs the juices and after a few bites, eventually falls apart. With Dos Hermanos' tacos, you'll never have that problem. The inner tortilla absorbs the juices while the outer tortilla remains intact. I think this was the first time in years that I didn't need a fork to finish my tacos. The flavor of the pulled pork is what you'd expect from a high quality BBQ restaurant. It's very savory and pairs well with the onions, cilantro, and salsa. I recommend squeezing some juice from the lime slices for that extra tangy kick. As I stated earlier in my post, there's a big difference between authentic and fast food tacos. In my opinion, Dos Hermanos' tacos are 100% authentic and easily rival what you would expect from a sit-down Mexican restaurant. I want to give a shout out to the staff as well, not only for being quick, but for being friendly and accommodating as well. Before I was even in front of the truck, I was greeted by one of the workers and didn't have to wait around for service. In my book, that goes a long way because it makes the experience even better.

Carnitas torta
Kira K.

I always walk by here, and I love Mexican food, so the other day I decided to try it. I got the torta with carnitas. Big portion, and tasted pretty authentic! Their chips and guacamole is really good as well. For $5, you get a bag of chips and a lot of guacamole! My only complaint is that they only take cash. I will definitely be trying the burrito, and the tacos here too :)

I came here to visit food trucks around Drexel because I was off that day. I came across this food truck because the reviews were great. There was about 2 ppl in front of me ordering food- My order was taken rather quickly. I ordered a simple cheese quesadilla, nothing else. However I waited about 25 minutes to get my order. Turns out plenty of people order online. Had I known it was going to be this long of a wait I would not have ordered from here. But it was a good quesadilla and the servers were friendly. Watch out for the lines-

Chicken tostadas
Urvashi G.

Can't say enough good things about this mexican food truck! Positively, the best food I ever had. I have been eating out here for almost three months now and I am a die hard fan. Though they are known for their tacos (3 for $8). I have also tried their chicken tinga tostadas (1 for $3). I remember I bought three the first time and took the food home. And once I was done eating, I wanted more. They were so delicious and perfect, that I couldn't stop myself from going out again and getting 3 more immediately. I saved some for dinner from the second batch. Best tostadas ever. I TOTALLY pigged out that day and don't regret any bit of it. Argh! I wish they would visit everyday at Drexel University, so I don't have to wait for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday every week. They are active on social medias like Facebook and Instagram and post whenever they are visiting with timings. I am always checking their facebook page to know if they are here or not. They are quick in replying on Facebook as well, if you want to ask any questions. I think the most I will miss out Philadelphia is this food truck. I am their FOREVER food fan!! The price is reasonable, affordable and the people are super friendly and helpful. Fresh food, great meat and amazing flavor. Love Love Love this food truck. MUST TRY, if you haven't already.

I graduated from college years ago, but I visited campus recently and had to check out how my…read morefavorite lunch spot was doing. I was surprised to see what was once a minimalistic metal cart had upgraded into a shiny red truck! The old phone number I had saved still worked to make an advance order, and when I showed up and took a photo of the new truck, the guy inside said, "been a while since you were here?" Been a while indeed. My spice tolerance has improved a lot since my first review; by the end of college I was getting medium instead of mild, which I also got this most recent time, but I think I can actually handle spicy now and will make a note to do that next time. The burrito is still the best I've ever had, and that includes what I ate in the Mission of SF. An absolutely enormous portion with juicy meat, cheese, salsa, pico, lettuce, rice, beans, and even a generous helping of avocado. And the tortilla is seared on the grill just right, giving it an extra crisp while sealing the whole package together. Not many burritos have all the details down so perfectly like that. Anyone who works or studies near Tacos Don Memo is lucky to have such an authentic, delicious, and affordable Mexican lunch spot around. They've been around for a while and I hope they will be for a while more!

Chicken burrito (3.5/5) I wanted to love this burrito since I've heard such good things about this food truck. The burrito was delicious but I felt like it needed way more sauce for its size. I also got the "hot" sauce and didn't taste anything spicy at all in it. the chicken was great and the flavor was good overall but it was definitely on the drier side. If i come again I'll try a burrito bowl if possible instead, and i'll definitely try to order online or call ahead instead of waiting 30 minutes again

Terry's is my go-to for a cheap cheesesteak in UCity. The first time I went, I was pleased with the…read morequality of the cheesesteak for its value. I wanted to go back again but couldn't remember what the food cart was called, tried looking it up on Yelp, and didn't find a listing for it. I went back on Spruce Street to look for the truck today and decided to list their business on Yelp for them. Terry's is quite popular--today, I watched a family in a van park along the street, send a child out to buy couple cheese steaks and drinks at the cart, and drive away. It's definitely a good sign when someone goes out of their way to come here, as most food cart customers purchase food from these carts because they are within walking distance. There is also always a line at lunchtime, so make sure you arrive either a little earlier before noon or after 1. Terry's offers a variety of breakfast and lunch items at a very reasonable price. A plain steak is $4, and a cheesesteak is $5 (onions at no cost, and generous amount of cheese as well as steak). The thing I like about Terry's steaks the most is that they don't fall apart in your hand when you take them out of the wrapper; steak joints like Pat's and Geno's make them so ridiculously greasy that the bread gets soggy before you even open the wrapping. On top of being delicious and reasonably priced, the two men who usually work at the food cart are always incredibly friendly and courteous.

To be candid, my usual go-to food truck for cheap sandwiches is Lyn's, but I haven't seen the cart…read moresince the beginning of the semester. I gave Terry's a try and I'm pleasantly surprised. Terry's is usually on 36th and Spruce Street. Kudos to them for staying open even during the midst of a pandemic and during the cold weather. The cart accepts both cash and Venmo (for purchases $7 or more), which is a huge plus. The person who worked the truck was friendly and asked politely about how I'd like to customize my sandwich. I got mushroom, spinach, egg, cheese, and sausage on a roll ($5). For the price and quantity of the food, I have no complaints. I liked how soft the bread was and Terry's doesn't skimp on ingredients. My only gripe would be that Lyn's is just a bit cheaper. TLDR: A comparable substitute for Lyn's and the place to go if you're looking for cheap, yummy sandwiches. Cash and Venmo (for purchases $7 or more) accepted.

Possibly the best food truck in university city. Fabulous meats…read more Try a different meat each time you come by. It's just fabulous. The picana beef to die for. Rice and beans with salad. Chicken wrapped in bacon. Grilled pineapple.

That absolutely shouldn't carry the name "Brazilian." I went to the Philadelphia Brazilian Festival…read moreand got excited to see a food truck offering a Brazilian plate. As soon as I opened my plate, I was so disappointed that I lost my appetite. The rice was flavorless, the beans tasted like they came from a can, and the lettuce had no seasoning and had a terrible cheese on top of it. The meat was tough and flavorless, and I spent a good minute chewing because it was so hard. It was the worst $15 I've ever spent--I wouldn't even pay $2 for that meal. Terrible! If you're going to carry the name "Brazilian" on your food truck, PLEASE do it right. Even if it wasn't supposed to be Brazilian, it was still a terrible meal. On top of that, I waited more than 20 minutes for it to be made, along with several other people who were also complaining about the wait time. I will never get anything from this food truck again and do not recommend it to anyone. ---------------- Isso absolutamente não deveria carregar o nome de "brasileiro". Fui ao Festival Brasileiro da Filadélfia e fiquei animada ao ver um food truck oferecendo um prato brasileiro. Assim que abri o prato, fiquei tão decepcionada que perdi o apetite. O arroz estava sem gosto, os feijões tinham gosto de enlatado, e a alface sem tempero algum, vinha com queijo ruim em cima. A carne era dura e sem sabor, e eu passei um bom tempo mastigando porque estava muito dura. Foi o pior $15 que já gastei -- eu não pagaria nem $2 por essa refeição. Horrível! Se você vai carregar o nome "brasileiro" no seu food truck, POR FAVOR faça direito. Mesmo que não fosse para ser brasileiro, ainda foi uma refeição terrível. Além disso, esperei mais de 20 minutos para que fosse preparado, assim como várias outras pessoas que também reclamavam do tempo de espera. Nunca mais vou pegar nada desse food truck e não recomendo a ninguém.

What I was expecting was the run of the mill Chinese take out version of beef and broccoli: semi tough beef and overcooked broccoli swimming in grease and a large quantity of brown sauce. To my great delight what I got was the complete opposite - the beef was tender and the broccoli was a lively green and incredibly fresh. There was a light and just right amount of sauce and great helping of chili oil. The lady running the truck is so friendly, welcoming & nice (a stark contrast to the lady at Yue Kee). The wait is short and the prices are impressively cheap. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other items on their expansive menu!

I tried Tang's tofu with garlic/curry on brown rice…read more The best part is that the dish included a substantial serving of real vegetables. There was carrot, broccoli, cabbage, celery, and a bit of onion and green pepper (1 slice). There were 8 pieces of fried tofu in an extremely mild and not very flavourful "curry" sauce. Brown rice option comes at no extra cost. ($3.50) This seems to be one of the better options for Chinese food on campus. There's plenty of vegetables, it's not especially greasy. While the food wasn't particularly flavourful, it was fairly good clean food with a good helping of vegetables.
