Their not much different from each other, but its there. That aside, in my opinion, what makes a good street vendor is him/her ability to keep the customer coming back. There, it's does this like second nature. After going there a few times, it kinda felt like the cheers of BBQ carts. He seems to know a lot of the locals, both american and chinese and is not above starting a little chat and offering a smoke. At night, there will be some kiddy stools mysteriously lying around the sidewalk and most of all, the guy is clean. Although a little dirt dosen't hurt you, it has made me think twice when I see year old grease built up in the grills of some vendors.... Edit: There are many vendors out there, this one is in front of the Jewish temple across the street from the 24Hr Dunkin Donuts and super pricey jewelry store.

A few months ago, me and my sister got burritos from this truck. The burritos were ok, we only got…read morethem because they were open super late and we were hungry after the gym. Today, on June 14th, I stopped by the truck at around 9pm. I politely said "Hi" and the man inside the truck (he has a hoop earring that has a cross on it) just looked at me. So, I said "Hi" again and he responded saying "yes". I was appalled so I just walked away. After about 5 minutes, I went back to the truck and I said "When someone says hi, it's polite to greet them, not say 'yes'. Keep being rude, that's the reason why you don't have any customers right now. Have a goodnight". I don't tolerate disrespect or rude behavior. If you're running a business, it is imperative that you understand the importance of being polite. I will never go back.

The street food scene in Flushing has been stretched thin in the last few years due to local laws,…read morebut the influx of Latin based food trucks and carts have somehow become a more viable option. Carrito El Guerrero, located just outside of Queens Crossing mall (#1), has maintained a steady presence giving folks an option outside Asian cuisine. Like many Mexican carts in Jackson Heights and Corona, they offer a myriad of options ranging from tacos to huaraches to picaditas. Not surprisingly they have non-Mexican options like pupusas on the menu. For time saving reasons, I usually end up ordering tacos. At the standard NYC price of $3 each (#2), the various tacos I've tried (carnitas, asada, chorizo, al pastor) were somewhat mediocre. They're certainly not better than anything in nearby Corona but they do the job, especially when one isn't feeling like Asian food. I've had better results with their cemitas, picaditas, and even their quesadillas. They are sometimes a little too generous with the lettuce and I ask them to scale it back. The pupusas are pretty disappointing, but that was a gamble from the get go. As expected, its cash only. ____________ (#1) After bouncing around several other locations in downtown Flushing.

My friend ordered about 3 things and unfortunately we had to wait about 30 minutes because they had such a long line and I recall one of the orders being a large order of at least 30 skewers. These take a while to cook so if there's a line then be ready to wait! Other than that, I enjoyed my squid.

So instead of ordering another dish, we decided to just get something from this stand, which is located across the restaurant. You're immediately greeted by the amazing aroma coming from the meat skewers. We ordered the chicken & lamb, both for only $1.50 each. The lamb was very flavorful with the paprika powder and the meat was tender. As for the chicken, I didn't ask for paprika because I can't handle spicy foods. So my chicken ended up to be not as flavorful. Nonetheless it was very delicious and juicy. A lot of stands have overcooked and dry meat but this stand cooks them just right. It's a quick, cheap and tasty snack that I'd recommend you try.

There are at least 15 different skewer options, along with other fun fried snacks and vegetables. The skewers are grilled over charcoal, and the smoke was so prominent that we had to stand 10-15 feet away to avoid it. We knew it was going to be worth it. We got a couple of each chicken gizzard, lamb kebab, chicken heart, beef kebab, and pork belly ($2 each), listed in the order of my personal favorites. I loved the crunch of the chicken gizzard the most and honestly could have eaten at least five of them myself. The lamb kebab wasn't too gamey, and the cumin seasoning was perfection. The other three kebabs were flavorful, but weren't quite as memorable. Overall, the skewers had an intensely charred, smoky flavor that's hard to replicate without a charcoal grill. This was easily one of my favorite stalls out of everything we tried this past Sunday afternoon! 8/16/2026 Flushing Food Crawl #6 of 11
