    This is a slightly overpriced Mexican food cart specializing in breakfast and lunch goods. I went with their Chorizo, egg, and cheese which is usually American but I substituted it (for free) as if I'm going to pay that much, I might as well get actual cheese. The egg on there was fine while the chorizo was cut up into very tiny pieces. The good thing was that it was spread around it well but the bad is that there was the lack of snap/crunch from it. It was also a lot less spicy than I expected it to be which I'm surprised at but there were some good flavors. While I prefer the traditional Mexican food carts more (due to price among other things,) it is this area. It's Midtown East on Park Avenue so if you don't expect a breakfast sandwich for cheap. Nice staff here also. The ratings here are accurate for the area, low/mid 3 (if it was anywhere close to other better carts it would be a 2.5 at most.)

    The Mexican Authentic Wrap

    I decided to deviate from my typical bacon egg and cheese avocado wrap from my usual spot. So, I ordered the Mexican (authentic) from here. More potatoes than anything else. No salsa as advertised. Very light traces of chorizo. Very disappointing..won't be coming back.

    Pretty good wrap / burrito, portion size could have been a bit bigger. Conveniently located

    Power Breakfast Menu. Very extensive.

    I don't know why, but I've never noticed this truck before on Park Avenue. More than likely it's because I am running away from all the people traffic on every corner. There are so many office buildings on Park Ave. so the lunch rush is intense. The lines for food trucks are just as lengthy at times. Today I got lucky and a bunch of folks already ordered and were just waiting. The "eggs" in Eggs Travaganza caught my eye. I love eggs...I can eat it any time of the day. However, after reading the menu I opted for some Mexican fare. (Already had scrambled eggs this morning and I was thinking I wanted steak). So instead of steak and eggs, I went for the carne asada (steak) platter. Each platter comes with salad and rice. Then you can choose between hot sauce, cream sauce, or guacamole or all three if you want. I went for the cream sauce and guacamole only. The steak was cooked medium well, some pieces were a little chewy but all had a good flavor - grilled and nice color to them. I didn't think to ask for medium rare...just ordered it as is. (Could use some onions...would've helped to tie the flavors together). The salad it came with was good, the dressing already tossed in, it was a light oil and white balsamic mix (contains cheese). The rice sadly was too overcooked for my taste. Consistency was mushy and just too soft. It did have a lot of ingredients going for it so instead of a 2.5 star rating, I rounded it to 3. The corn, carrots, peas, lima beans, and green beans was a nice variation on the usual plain yellow rice. It was flavorful, just too soft. Now that I know the truck is there, I may return for something with eggs...probably should've on this visit but my eyes floated to the Mexican fare menu. I'm a fan of food trucks in general...they rule the midtown scene for sure.

    Honestly this place deserves to be a solid 4. I guess it's a bit pricey for this kind of food, but freshness, quality, and the service make it worth it. Also the cost matches that of food around it. I relocated from Texas where you can get bfast tacos anywhere basically and Id say this place hit my breakfast taco craving. The accompanying green salsa had great flavor, but Id prefer it to be spicier.

    The truck is located northeast corner of 52nd street. Went there around 1:30 pm and didn't have to wait at all. There are plenty of space nearby for you to sit and eat your lunch. There are also many other fantastic food trucks nearby. Food: I had the Steak Burrito. I really didn't like any part of the Burrito. The meat was pre-cooked and reheated had a funky oily smell and had no seasoning. Rice was very mushy. Burrito came with corn chips which were extremely salty. The chips reminded me of salty theater popcorn. They are probably good in breakfast items as their name highlights Service: quick Price: if the food is bad then no matter how much you pay it is over priced. Overall: Very very disappointed. 1 star because, lack of seasoning and overcooked rice.

    Mexican grilled cheese - (cheese, chorizo and tomatoes)

    I've been meaning to try this truck ever since I read about it on Midtown Lunch. This truck is well known for their breakfast sandwich varieties, particularly their "mexican style" grilled cheese. I finally got up early enough to see what all the hype was about and i definitely was not let down!! When I showed up (around 9:15am) there wasn't a line at all, but by no means does that say they don't have a huge fan base. Apparently they weren't at their usual spot yesterday morning and everyone in the area had a freak-out... On to the food, the mexican grilled cheese did not disappoint. Breakfast is always a good thing, breakfast off of a truck is an even better thing... but i can honestly say this square of greasy amazingness is one of the best breakfasts under $5 i've had in a long time. The cheese is nice and melted, blended with chorizo and tomato and placed between two, 7 grain slices of perfectly buttered bread. To boot, the couple that works the truck are 2 of the nicest people you can find at such an early hour of the workday... All i can say is - I work in the Madison Sq. park area, but I will surely make frequent visits to Eggs Travaganza This is the Midtown Lunch article: http://midtownlunch.com/2010/05/04/eggs-travaganza-carts-grilled-cheese-with-chorizo-and-bacon-ftw/

    E G G B O Y S $4 for 1 Taco is EGGSPENSIVE. I mean I would call it a delicious Eggsperience, but the prices were a little too Eggstravagant. My Chorizo and Egg Tacos were actually Eggsceptional. I also tried the Huevos Tocino Taco which was meh. The guac was also meh. Aside from that, the people in the truck were cool. Sadly they didn't have any steak ready or I might have gotten that instead of the tocino. Maybe I'll come back if I'm desperate for a morning taco.

    Felt like all of my midtown food trucks were incentivized by my colleague and none of them disappointed me. This small Mexican truck was famous for its three amigos wrap so I gave a try, very satisfactory! It smelt great even outside the truck. The crust was a little bit hard to bite though.

    This cart isn't your average NYC breakfast cart. They have everything your regular NYC breakfast cart PLUS MORE! Chorizo and Carne Asada! First time trying this place out and definitely not my last. My boyfriend and I tried the chorizo fresco, Carne Asada burrito and the steak and eggs taco. Both of us loved the chorizo fresco the most! The man was more interactive with us than the lady. He was really nice to chat with a little while we were waiting our food.

    Found myself in Midtown West around 11pm with nothing open and a real craving, and Shawarma Bay…read morecame through. Half the spots nearby had already shut down or had lines I wasn't about to stand in, and this truck was right there, lit up and moving fast. Got the two-meat combo over rice. The guys inside don't waste time. I had my plate in a few minutes even with a couple people ahead of me. Chicken and beef both came out hot, and the rice underneath was fresh and fluffy. Ask for the extra spicy red if you want to suffer a little. Portions are big for the price. I walked away full and happy. Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move. They open at 7:30 and stay open well into the night, which is exactly when you want them. I'll be back the next time I'm wandering around starving after midnight.

    Great food truck in the area. You'll find a abundance of lamb chicken over rice in the vicinity but…read morethis is one of those that are top tier and competes closely with the others. It's a must try and a go to if you enjoy the style as all in the area have their certain style. Love the lamb and chicken combo over rice. Hot, flavorful, fresh, and made to order. Great white sauce and hot sauce with a wonderful fresh salad that is full of ingredients. Love how the add the extra spice on top to top it off. Friendly and good service. I'd definitely come back.
