The Cinco De Mayo Menu

This review is for the Fish Tacos. But considering everything else other than the "meat" would be the same for all tacos, this review can be applicable for all tacos. The tacos were very dry, I had the sauce but it wasn't saucy enough! The fish although grilled (which is a healthier option from the usual breaded) was scantily portioned, making the tacos feel like plain tortillas. My friend had the veggie burrito (well they did not have any veggie burrito, so she requested them to replace the meat with veggies), but there wasn't any ceggie in there except for the usual lettuce which is present in every burrito. Bottomline: University City has many decent foodtrucks, it's better to give this one a miss!

Been here a couple times. Until this time, I've only ever had the tacos. They are all fantastic. The fish is really good, the chicken is well seasoned, and the pork tacos are incredible. Unfortunately, I just ordered a Carne Asada Burrito and it was not great. The seasoning, sauce, and filling of the burrito was fantastic but the meat itself was really quite bad. The Carne Asada was chewy to the point where I could not actually eat half of meat inside. But, Im not one to let one bad experience distract me from an otherwise quality food truck. The tacos are fantastic and I have no doubt most of the other items on the menu would be good. The service is always quick, friendly, and very polite. I have on more than one occasion noticed that the staff greets regulars with an extra smile which is always a good sign. This place a little expensive for a food truck but I'd say its worth it. Its definitely one of the better food trucks in the area. Also, it takes credit cards!

The gentleman in the truck was very nice so he accepted making a fish quesadilla for me although it's not on the menu. It was the best quesadilla I had till this moment to be honest

I wanted to try this as an alternative to Chipotle, and I was definitely pleased! Very authentic Mexican food, and very well done

Great flavor and value! The best food truck at Drexel for Mexican cuisine. And the owners are very friendly.

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.
