    Egg sausage and cheese on a long roll and cheese steak special.
    Tammy V.

    Lyn's is a Solid breakfast & lunch spot near CHOP & PENN--cheap, clean, and made-to-order. Egg, sausage & cheese hit the spot, cheesesteak special slapped. Great service and Friendly vibes too.

    Nice hidden gem of a food truck. We stopped here for breakfast and got sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel. They also had regular bagels, muffins, and different sandwiches. Not only did the sandwich taste good, but the price was super affordable and the best I've seen around coming in at about $4 each.

    Lyn's never disappoints. Every time I come to Philly, I make it a mission to go to her truck. She's the most soft spoken women ever and her right hand man, her husband, works insanely efficient. I can't believe my bagel was only $5 despite being loaded with sausages,egg, cheese, and cream cheese. What a steal. One of the best bagels I've had recently!! I love you cô an chú, best of luck.

    Grilled chicken sandwich $5.50!

    My previous opinion still stands: Lyn's is the best food truck on Penn's campus She recommended I try out her bfast sandwiches. Lyn made me a egg, cheese, sausage on an everything bagel. It was only $3.50!! And a big size for the price too!!! The bagel was pressed on the grill but to my surprise was very soft and warm.

    Theres a good reason why lyns is so popular! Absolutely lovely couple and the sandwiches are perf for a quick lunch. Id only been once before pre pandemic but its just as good as i remember. I got the egg and cheese w spinach on a plain bagel. Ketchup, hot sauce, and pepper! The cheese is so perfectly gooey.

    Long Roll Sandwich
    Jimmy R.

    Seeing pictures of Lyn's on peoples' Instagrams is probably the biggest reason I came to Lyn's. An apparent staple of the Penn community, I walked by on an early Wednesday morning where there was perfectly no line for me to try the famous food truck and try to satisfy my stomach. The owners of the food truck were quick to greet and eagerly ready to take my order. With the help of a friend's expertise, I got a long roll sandwich with spinach + eggs, sausage, and cheese cut in half. With nothing but food on my mind at 8:30 am, I quickly scurried home to try it. By far, this is one of the most complete breakfast meals you could want on the go. One bite and I was filled with all the feelings American breakfast foods should provide - comfort, willingness, and warmth. Succeeding at all three, I even added some sriracha to really wake me up from the food coma I was about to arrive in. If the line is short, GET IT. If it's long and you got nothing to do, GET IT. I promise you, better than 90% of the brunch areas in University City are within walking distance between 34th and 40th street. There's a reason why this is a cult favorite, so just trust what you've heard about the place and go ahead and take a bite here!

    Sausage/spinach, egg and cheese

    Came here once 4 years ago when my fiancée was still a student at Penn and have been dying to come back. The same couple still runs the truck and the breakfast sandwiches are still incredible. $5 for a big , melty sausage, egg and cheese on a long roll cannot be beat. Even when it's 95 degrees out, they take your order with a smile. Great place to grab a bite, will definitely be returning to try their lunch sandwiches at some point.

    Lyn's is one of my favorite food trucks on Penn's campus. The owners are really friendly and work as efficiently as possible. The only downside though is the line can get long during breakfast and lunch rush hours, but the owners are really fast and are constantly pumping out orders. Even when the line is super long, Lyn never fails to give me a smile and ask how I'm doing. It's super affordable and you can get a large amount of food for less than $5. The food is great, fresh, and tasty too. Note that the food truck is cash only and it's only open on weekdays from 7am-3pm. I would highly recommend!

    Spinach, egg white, and cheese on rye toast.
    Courtney J.

    I really respect places that keep it simple, but do what they do really well. Lyn's is one of those places. They serve up simple but well-made breakfast sandwiches in a fast and friendly manner. After only one visit, they knew my order. Then I didn't return for a few weeks and they still knew my order on my third visit! Now that is some impressive customer service! My go-to order is an spinach, cheese, and egg white sandwich on rye toast. The egg white is always cooked perfectly, there is plenty of spinach and the cheese is all gooey and creamy. A little hot sauce and black pepper I get added at the end, gives it that kick. All this for $3! It makes a good breakfast, or a nice light lunch. The only other sandwich I have tried is the chicken special with peppers, mushrooms, and onions that comes on a long roll. It was okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of the roll it was on. If you are looking for a food truck for breakfast or lunch in University City and want something dependable, affordable, and tasty, Lyn's is your spot! The line may look long, but don't let that deter you as it usually moves quite quickly.

    Eggplant spinach parm pita
    Alicia P.

    Lyn's is a great spot for a quick bite to eat. Her prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. So far I've tried spinach egg and cheese on a long roll and that was only three dollars. Today I tried eggplant spinach Parm pita and that was only $3.50. Both sandwiches were filled and delicious. I'm happy to have Lyn's now, because I know the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Lunch trucks are my go-to when I am not sure what I want to eat. Often I need a quick breakfast or a quick lunch and Lyn's food truck offers both options.They are quick and cost efficient. Also, she is sweet as can be. I'm so happy to give them my business!!

    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

    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.

    The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Tangs's: Fresh. The second? Super friendly…read more I came across Tang's during my usual stake out of food trucks during lunch hour and decided to order a beef and broccoli over brown rice. 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.

It used to be across from Ucross next to lucky star but with the new renovations it's been kicked off to the curb next to the volleyball courts parked alongside happy sunshine. There's graffiti all over the exterior at times or the paint's a little chipped. Trust me the food makes up for it. The hours they are open are very strange. While most food trucks close around 3pm they stay around during the evening. Sometimes when I come home from a night out I still see them open at around 11pm!! Really bizarre. But it adds to their charm. It's own by a couple. And this couple has never changed their prices. Which I have always been thankful for. You can get a full container of chinese take out food for like $6!! And they really fill the boxes. My favorite is the teriyaki combo- chicken AND beef! I switch up if I want fried rice or Lo mein. Food has tasted the same since my freshman year. This place. Andy's or whatever you know it as. Has always been an unspoken hidden gem of Drexel's food trucks. It's literally so out of the way, nameless at times, but for sure- it's a 5/5 truck.
