I got the chipotle BBQ turkey sandwich that comes with house chips…read more Sandwich overall was tasty. I was perhaps a third of the way through when I bit on a HUGE bone! Thankfully I didn't chip my tooth or anything. Also house chips come with a sandwich but to substitute to fries is $2 extra! A little pricey, I'd be ok with like $1. Plus the chips are very soft and tasted too charred/burnt. These are chips, not steaks. Lastly, there was like one spoonful of coleslaw on the sandwich. Literally I had a bite, and there was no more coleslaw on the sandwich.

Recently there seems to be more and more food carts/trucks that are showing up near Columbia…read moreUniversity. Most recently, I saw and ate food from Sandwich Bar Express. The truck was well designed with a rather expansive menu for a food truck. Being a new food truck I asked them what would be the best thing to order, then promptly (and foolishly) ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Although the seasoning on the crust of the chicken was good, there were a few other problems with the sandwich. The chicken meat seemed really dry and the crust itself was a bit darker than I would like. I did like that they included chips, but I'm partial to salt and vinegar. Some of the chips seemed like it was saltier than the others. For an accompanying side, I ordered sweet potato fries. The fries were unsalted, stuck together, and seemed a bit soggy (oil not hot enough?). Overall it seems to me that Sandwich Bar Express definitely has some issues to iron out. The pricepoint was a bit high for the quality of food that I was given. They should definitely cut down on their huge menu and focus on perfecting a few choice items.

Check out their website listed above, or their Twitter: http://twitter.com/ESPNWCTruckNYC And the food. The food is awesome. The menu was made by the dude who does Kogi. And he knows a thing or two about food trucks. I went strictly on the fact that they have Bunny Chow (curried, grilled veggies, chicken, in a big soft roll). SO GOOD. The carne asada burrito was a little bit too acidic, but still tasty. And the Korean dumplings are huge and bursting with flavor. Awesome. I don't know how much longer it will be around, but check the calendar, and get out there.

You need this in your life NOW!!!…read more This taco stand is open 24 hours a day, except Tuesdays. Three hardworking brothers and a team of staff operates this popular, but no name corner stand with a green tent. They have been open for over a year, and deserves to be recognized as one of the best tacos in NYC. This shop specializes in carnitas, which they cook in a cazuela, like in Mexico, and the streets of LA/SD. The menu includes all sorts of interest cuts from pigs and cows that some people may be wary of. To me, it reads like a book I don't ever want to put down. When you first arrive, the guys will give you a free sample taco with an assortment of pig parts such as ear, stomach, skin, and cheek. That's the hook! Because once you taste that addictive freebie, you're ready to blow all the cash you have left in your wallet for more of that crack. They have tacos and quesadillas, both are wonderful and filled to the brim with meats. Stationed on the table is also salsa and pickled onions/peppers. Add some hot sauce, and let the amazing taste wash over you. Protip: If you want off menu items like chicharron, you have to get there early before they sell out. There is a small wait on the weekends, but these guys work fast and furious. If you have no idea how to order, ask one of staff members or some the locals. Everyone is very friendly and willing to share because the food here makes them so damn happy. Honestly, there are almost no Mexican taco stands in NYC that I consider good enough to compete with what's available on the west coast. We need to support these guys and hope they will always be around. I will certainly be here as often as possible to get my fix.

There's some very impressive taco-craft happening at Los Tacos Hermanos Hernandez, and they're a great addition to the Corona food scene which is already pretty rich with Latin American options. The man cooking (whom I'm assuming is one of the Hermanos?) gave us the free lil sampler taco when we arrived, and we selected a few different parts of the pig from the carnitas list (truthfully had to use a lot of Google Translate to figure out what each part was) along with the chorizo. You can see the richly stewing carnitas in the giant metal pot that's on a continuous simmer, and I for one have always loved a forever soup across cultures. The tortillas are fresh and hot, and the staff packed everything up for us nicely along with a container of pico de gallo, some guacamole, and the salsa. Everything has a great homemade-with-love flavor, and we really enjoyed all the tacos. Come check this stand out; they're open nearly every day and have amazing work ethic even in the searing heat!

Finally decided to come by and ordered the beef and lamb gyro for lunch, $10. Currently open M to F, 11:30a to 8pm. If you compare it to the King Souvlaki food truck in Astoria, I feel like this one is still up and coming and less options. Still not up to par yet, but who knows? It's close by the hospital so that's another option for food. The pita was delicious, had onions, lettuce, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, no fries. Portion size was decent, so you'll be full but not super full. They took cash, and I know they take Zelle too. Friendly people behind the truck!

I love a good taco stand. This is one of the best. Unfortunately, the days of $1-1.50 tacos from my…read moreyouth has disappeared. Even though this vendor sells tacos pequeño (small tacos, 2-3 bites), they are $3-4 each, which is not cheap. For that reason, I can't give them 5 stars. It's quite pricey considering that most full size tacos are selling for about $4.50-5.50 nowadays on the streets, but double in size. With that said, I appreciate the smaller size for me to enjoy more variety every time I stop by. My favorites change from visit to visit, but generally I always get Suadero (roast meat), Campechano (roast meat & sausage), Buche (pork stomach), Cabeza (beef head), and Lengua (beef tongue). I also like the extra weird parts like Cesos (beef brain) and Ojos (beef eye). However, the texture is very mushy and definitely not for everyone. As accompaniments, for every two tacos you order, they also give you a long stem onion that is quite tender and delicious. On the down side, instead of the traditional lime and radish that most places give, Tacos El Borrego offers lemon and cucumbers. I'm not sure why, except maybe they are cheaper options than the normal garnishes. Also, don't forget the flavorful green and red sauces on the table if you are eating there. Otherwise, ask for some to go. I miss the days when our group of friends would get a few tacos late at night after a party or night out drinking. The prices are no longer the same, but the food is still perfect for sobering up while having some laughs on the streets during the warm months. I think back to those days fondly whenever I'm at a taco stand nowadays, and Tacos El Botrego is one of my favorites in NYC.

Usually I'm not akin to street vendors (for obvious reasons - sanitary practices, unknown food…read morewholesalers, etc), however Naimi's is WORTH it. Located right under the 46tth street Bliss stop of the 7 elevated train (along Queens Boulevard), Naimi's Halal Food Cart offers a variety of Halal fast food. My favorite is the Lamb gyro. It comes with rice and side veg (lettuce, tomatoes and onions), it's spicier that usual vendors and instead of slices, he dices it up in little cubes, which is good over rice. Sometimes he may be a little heavy handed with the sauce if you ask for it- but just tell him how you like it and expect generous amounts when he serves. The pita is also very good, as is the salad. He's usually there all hours of the day. Personally, he remembered me right off the bat and knows exactly how I like my gyro, but I'm leaning more towards gyro salad these days. Get there during the day and he's got the goods- Shepard Salad, etc. I think this cart is connected to Mangal, but I'm not quite sure.
