So many food trucks, how do you choose?…read more I went to Yelp of course and Ixtapa came up as the most visited/reviewed truck. Ixtapa it is! One Birria plate and a cheese quesadilla please! Of course Birria is messy and eating it in the car can be a challenge but we are up for the challenge! Over the last year, we have been on a birria kick. So I can share, this birria was good but I have had better. Their quesadilla was the winner for me! Super soft, loaded with cheese and flavorful. Maybe it's 2 kids of cheese inside? I would visit again.

Food Truck Paradise is a stretch of food trucks that have lined up daily in New Haven, Connecticut…read moresince 1960. Every day as many as 29 food trucks can be found along Long Wharf Drive: a majority of them serving some form of Latinx cuisine. The Sweeney's Hot Dog truck, owned by Bob Sweeney, is often credited as the first truck to begin parking along the stretch all those many years ago... and it's still showing up today. By 2017, the stretch of road was becoming crowded with too many trucks. The city set up a special vending program as well as a lottery for licenses. Power hookups were also built along the street in order to eliminate the need for noisy generators. Each vendor pays $3,000 a year for a reserved spot and electricity. Plans are underway to build a permanent waterfront promenade on Long Wharf with benches, a bathroom facility, and picnic tables for customers. In addition to Long Wharf, New Haven also has additional designated food cart districts along Cedar Street (in front of the Yale School of Medicine), Sachem Street (in front of Ingalls Rink), and a downtown zone by the New Haven Green. My family and I visited Food Truck Paradise this past August. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've lived in New Haven all my life and this was my first visit to the stretch of food trucks. For as long as I can remember, there have always been food trucks parked here... since way before food trucks became the 'gourmet restaurants-on-wheels' as we know them today. I stopped at the 'Sandwiches El Cubano' truck and ordered their "Original Cuban Sandwich" (ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mayo, mustard, Italian bread). My wife and son stopped at the 'Ixtapa' truck and ordered their "Chicken Tacos" as well as their "Nachos" platter. We also grabbed a couple of Mexican sodas and had a picnic lunch across the street by the water. Everything was so delicious and authentic! This may have been our first trip to Food Truck Paradise but it certainly won't be our last!

I grew up in Tampa where it's argued the Cuban sandwich was invented. The Cuban I got at this food…read moretruck was as good as any I got in Tampa. If you've never had a Cuban this is a great place to fall in love ( with the sandwich). It's on the waterfront in New Haven in a sea of Mexican food trucks. This isn't a criticism of this truck but this area needs picnic tables. Not a fan of eating in my car.

It's hard to make a quesadillas stand out, the ingredients are pretty standard and most taste…read morepretty similar. However, my quesadilla from here stands out from the rest. It was the most flavorful and freshest quesadilla I've ever had. The pico was amazing and the ingredient combination was just right. I especially loved the avocado, which was included, but is typically only offered at an additional price. To be fair, I'm not too adventurous when it comes to food and my go-to Mexican dish is typically a quesadilla, so I've had more than my fair share. Basically, I consider myself an above-average, experienced quesadilla critic. In a world filled of dozen of food trucks in Long Wharf, I picked this particular one, and I'm so happy I did. The menu looked good, the truck looked clean and the line wasn't too long (I'm not sure why). They also take credit cards, which was an added bonus. With a drink, my meal came to $9 and I loved every bite and I'm totally full. The BF ordered from another truck, but ended up getting an additional chicken taco here. He enjoyed the green sauce topping he put on, but it was a bit too spicy for me. I have to come back and try something else from here soon.

There was no one in line during my lunchtime visit today, which was to help soothe a sore throat and cough I have. The man and woman operating the cart were friendly and efficient. I was off with my steaming hot pho in a matter of minutes. My car smelled so heavenly on my short drive home that I couldn't resist a quick taste at a red light. I had pho dripping down my chin as it was so tasty and irresistible. I enjoyed the rest of it in a more dignified/adult manner, once at home and with proper utensils and napkins :-) I'll be back soon, pho-sure!

The only downside for me was the elote. The flavor was good, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste, and I couldn't finish it. I love heat but it wasn't enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and I'd definitely go back for those tacos again.

Very flavorful birria, and the combo Marino had fresh seafood that you wouldn't expect to be impressed by from a food truck! Great drinks and desserts too.

But I have to be honest; I was not impressed with the two items I ordered. The price point for an order of samosa (2 pieces) and bhel puri was $12.

The bhel puri was tasty but a little on the soggy side and not what I expected when I read "crispy" in the description. Having driven an hr to "food truck paradise" I don't know that I'd frequent this truck again. Maybe I'd try one more item but not likely.
