Their special that day was a fish wrap and I'm so glad I got it because it was fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. They paired it with some tartar sauce and some lettuce/tomato and it really hit the spot. They also had a fun Brazilian guarana soda that we tried and it was pretty tasty. I definitely recommend grabbing lunch here!

We walked there with thoughts of what to expect from the menu, and even if it didn't taste good and we got food poisoning, the ER was close by. On we went, got there, ordered some lamb with rice, salad hot sauce and asked for just a little it mayo sauce, did not order soda- trying to keep the belly sexy you know! Cost was $7.50, not bad right? Hmm it depends on how you look at it. Whether its organic or not, I won't get too crazy with it. We didn't eat there, and we walked back to the lounge and lunch began. Opened it, saw the yellow rice, not really a big fan of yellow rice if I don't know how it got to that color, the lamb was ok, but the food overall was SALTY. And it didn't knock me of my feet.

Friendly service, I always like when the staff will talk and joke with you. There is parking on the nearest side street (Florence Ave), but no parking on the Main Street (Liberty Ave). I submitted updates to their info, but in case it doesn't work, their current address is the lot next to 1350 Liberty Ave, Hillside, NJ 07205. You can't really park in the lot itself as there is no driveway. You'd have to drive over the curb & sidewalk. I mean, I guess you could if you were willing to do that. Had the Oxtail empanadas, Walking (Beef) Taco, you provide the chips of your choice. Not a problem there is a 7-Eleven directly across the street, & the Oxtail Burrito. Everything was very good. They are expensive, so be prepared for that, but you get what you pay for. Grades: Oxtail Empanadas: A Walking Taco (Beef): A- Oxtail Burrito: B+

Okay this is a review I genuinely hope I can update on a happier note in the future. I was super…read moreexcited to try Afro Taco. My first experience just wasn't the best but I truly do want to give it another try. So the website says they arrive at 12 pm but IG says 12:30 pm , I got there at 12:30 pm but the truck didn't actually pull up ready for service until 1 pm. There were a couple of people waiting and all were a little frustrated because when we called to see where the truck was we either received no answer or "I'll be there in 15" which turned to 30. I really wanted to order some of the other dishes but due to having to leave I could only order the tacos since those were the quickest. I was looking forward to the burst of Ghanaian flavors in the jollof but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The tacos were flavorful but just kind of tasted like regular tacos and brown rice. Maybe I set my expectations too high? I'm not sure. The owner was nice enough but considering that he got there so late and spoke to a few of the customers that were waiting, he could've Atleast extended a mini discount or extra side, honestly anything for opening so much later than listed on his website and Instagram. I do love supporting new businesses and this one is thriving via social media. I'm hoping that I just caught him on a bad day because we're all humans and we all have days. Next time, I'm hoping it will be better!

My family ordered several different things from this truck, and I had the pleasure of sampling it all. Thai chili wings, fries, cheese fries, hot dogs, bbq wings and my very own order of lemon pepper wings! The food was mouth-watering! Everything we had, we LOVED! The prices are extremely reasonable for what they have to offer & the portions are generous!! There were a few people working on the truck so things ran smoothly. We placed 6 orders, and it was ready in under 10 mins! How'd they do that? The truck is really nice and clean. They have two screens on the truck so you can watch tv while you wait for your order. They do tap to pay so be sure to have your card out and ready. I'm unsure if they take cash or not but I didn't see anyone use any.

I will say that the bread was a bit too soggy and there was no lettuce or tomato. I wish they could have toasted it for the amount of time I was waiting anyway... The food did take a weee bit too long to make but I guess I understand that. I maybe try some fish like fried shrimp or scallops next time.

The long grain basmati is a standout and sets itself apart from the other trucks. The white sauce is a bit heavy like it was just Mayo thinned out with water. Also the hot pepper flakes is not spicy at all. Also I don't think they have the usual Halal truck hot sauce since he never puts any in when I order which is a missed opportunity since I love spicy foods.

I ordered Tallarines Verdes Con Parillon Papa A La Huancaina, basically some pesto noodles with a cut of steak with cheese over Potato, it took about 25 minutes to prepare & a lot of people were picking up up food to go, place seems very popular with the neighborhood residents. Food came in a baking container & could possibly feed 3-4 ppl so at $22 , it seemed like a deal in terms of portion. My wife thoroughly enjoyed it but barely made a dent in the tray on the first sitting, I tasted the cheese & potato & it was delicious. My wife says she wants to try more items from this truck even though she hasn't eaten half of the tray after 3 days.
