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!

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.

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.

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-

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 :)

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.

Chicken Tacos!

I happened to be in University City and give one of the food trucks a try. Dos Hermanos looked promising and it was absolutely the right decision. The tacos here are mind blowing and I would say better than any other place in Philly including fancy restaurants and at such reasonable prices. There are multiple options to choose from - grilled chicken, chicken in chipotle sauce, carnitas and shrimp. They also had some specials like batter fried tilapia, scallops, tuna and salmon. We ordered the grilled chicken, chipotle chicken, shrimp and carnitas. The spicy salsa topping is amazing! I am surely going back again for my taco fix.

Having fast tacos for pretty cheap and great quality in the heart of University City is a godsend. Now, I've visted Dos Hermanos many of times since university matriculation, but I don't think I strayed away from my usual Carnitas or chicken quesadillas. There is love laced between the pork and pineapple in the tacos al pastor. No joke, I saw it. Okay, so maybe it was just sauce, but this summer office worker wanted to skip that afternoon meeting and go back for seconds. I refrained, but I will be back.

Rio Brazilan Steak Truck - Plain flavorless rice, canned beans, dry lettuce and hard, chewy, flavorless meat.

Rio Brazilan Steak Truck

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.

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.
