I noticed this cart conveniently parked right outside my office, and decided to try it because it…read morelooked different from other food carts (i.e., not one of the gyro stands that seem to pervade the city...) It's reasonably priced - around $4 for a breakfast sandwich, and $6-7 for lunch items (pulled pork or meatball sandwiches, mango habanero chicken, etc). I approached the cart wanting a breakfast sandwich, but the guy told me they were out of eggs... so I then asked for a pulled pork sandwich, but they were out of that too! I decided to go with the mango habanero chicken, which was a rice platter that had chicken topped with mango habanero sauce, corn, peas, and bits of carrot and green beans. It was really delicious but a bit too spicy for me... luckily the guy offered me a free drink with my meal since he felt bad about being out of the things I wanted. I'd recommend it as a good place to grab lunch. Hopefully I will be able to try their out-of-stock items sometime!

I can't believe I got food from a street vendor in Philly that tasted like this. I had a breakfast…read moresandwich last week that was really good so I went back to try the lunch. The quality of the food is that of a restaurant and not a lunch cart at all. The pulled pork tasted like it came right out of a Memphis BBQ restaurant. The guy working the truck told me he was also the owner and that he makes the food fresh everyday. Everything was under $10 so it was great to grab and go to bring back to the office. My only complaint was that he didn't have a soft pretzel to go perfectly with my sweet pulled pork sandwich. I am definitely making this a regular lunch spot for me and my co-workers in the city.

This ended up being the only food truck I visited over the week, because it was so good that I couldn't convince myself to try anywhere else. All total, I ended up coming here three times in seven days, and I'd gladly go back again. Huge portions, ridiculously cheap, and delicious. The owner is really friendly too. Compared to other halal carts, I found the chicken more tender, and you don't have to pester to get plenty of white and red sauce. Love this place.

Prices were a bit high, but they do give you a ton of food. I ordered the jerk chicken with candied yams and cabbage. My bf ordered the jerk chicken with rice and Mac n cheese. I'm still not sure if we actually got jerk chicken or maybe stewed chicken. I've never seen or tasted jerk chicken like this before and it also looks different with the other pictures posted on yelp. It was very wet and fatty. The cabbage was delicious and the yams were a bit too sweet but addicting. They were also all mushed up. The Mac n cheese was good but the rice was a bit hard.
