    Sweet potato burrito
    Shreya S.

    INCREDIBLE BURRITOS AT INCREDIBLE PRICES!!! Ridiculously tasty flavor combos and it's all so filling. My constant order is the small Sweet Potato Burrito. It's $4, bursting with flavor, and very very filling. Also, they will kindly replace the cheese for sour cream at no extra cost if you prefer that. Do note that you can't have multiple salsas though. Personally I suggest the mild one, it's basically pico de gallo. Overall, there are lots of vegetarian options, lots of non vegetarian options, and they grill every burrito to perfection. Also Jane and her husband are so sweet. Cash only. Definitely come eat here!! Me and all of my friends are addicted.

    The Mexicali food truck is back. It's back, people. Oh, do you prefer the abundant burrito chains in West Philly? I'm sorry... do you even have taste buds? This place has a seriously creative menu. I'm a vegan and I can appreciate the incredibly long list of veg-friendly options (just hold the cheese to make them vegan). Today, on their grand re-opening day, I tried the new "Tofu Verde" burrito for $5. Everything on it is quality. From the deliciously fresh and soft tortilla, to the chewy marinated tofu, to the cilantro and onion, to the slow cooked wonderfully spiced beans. I inhaled it although the initial plan was to save half for later. My bad. But so worth it. I also highly recommend anything with sweet potatoes or guacamole. The vegetarian tacos are wonderfully spicy, packed with tofu and sweet potatoes and a great deal at $5.

    SO delicious, and so filling!! I guess you should expect that from a food truck, but the price you pay for a huge meal is unbeatable. I love the owners, both of whom are extremely polite and are patient when you're choosing something. The burritos are HUGE--much bigger than Chipotle's, and much more hearty. True, you can't really pick your ingredients, but you can add-on. You can even substitute your rice & beans for hash browns, and they offer brown rice and whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option. The vegetarian options are what strike me the most; I have tried both the red pepper burrito for $4 and the tofu verde burrito for $5, and I don't even miss the meat when I eat them. The meat burritos range from $5-$6, so they are also very affordable, and I'm sure delicious as well. If I'm ever craving a burrito, I'm coming here over any other mexican food truck or Chipotle! The bowls are a little meager compared to the freshness of Chipotle's offerings, so definitely stick with the quesadillas and burritos, as the owners heat the tortillas to perfection.Actually, all of their food seems to lack fresh tomatoes, corn, and lettuce, but if you're looking for a nice warm comforting burrito, you shouldn't care that much about fresh vegetables anyway.

    A food truck that provides Mexican food at a great value! They have a really creative menu and lots of different options. You can choose from a quesadilla to a burrito or a soft taco. You can also get a burrito platter, no tortilla. I tried the vegetarian soft tacos which were made with mashed sweet potatoes and tofu. For $5, I got 2 soft tacos and a side of rice. You also get the option of mild, medium, or hot sauces on your burritos and tacos. I chose the medium but I thought it was barely spicy. Next time I'm definitely trying the hot sauce to get the extra kick. I thought the tacos were good, but they weren't anything amazing. They lacked flavor and were kind of bland. But the rice was a nice addition to the meal! I'm definitely coming here to satisfy my Mexican food cravings since it's so conveniently located by campus. It's an easy pickup and go!

    Great food for a great deal!! Can't beat a $5 burrito. Also, a great way for students to avoid the chipotle line!

    Good food, bad service. They don't accommodate at all. No substitutions. No changes. To me, that's annoying

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

    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.

    This place is marked closed, but I went here over the weekend while at Drexel (It is located at…read more33rd and Arch now, in a white food truck) and it hit the spot. It was quick, cheap, and tasty. I got Chicken Katsu with white rice + sauce which was fried nicely and it was under $10, which seems unheard of these days. I will be back. Highly recommend.

    I never knew this place had a name. I have literally been getting food here all throughout…read moreundergrad. My friend and I always called it ghetto Chinese truck. 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.
