It's hard to say it's always good though.. Sometimes the chef makes that choice of us. I like it here then order places.. The sauces are original.. Chicken has great flavor..

Between the great chicken and lamb that they…read moregrill with chopped peppers and onions, gyro pitas that are briefly seared in white sauce for a bit of extra flavor and softness (for optimal pita flexibility), and a flavorful homemade hot sauce that kicks like a Moroccan mule, you simply cannot go wrong here. I have tried dozens of halal food trucks around the city, and while many seem to be a bit similar in taste, this place is a notch above the rest (with the exception of the halal guys on 53rd and 6th, which is equally as good). The food is cheap ($5 for a plate over rice, $4 for a gyro) and beyond filling. Make sure to ask for the "spicy rice" which is leagues beyond the standard halal cart yellow rice, as well as chopped up pita on top. If you know what's good for you, get the lamb gyro with hot sauce. It changed my life. Forever. The guys working the truck are very friendly, and always easy to talk to and joke with - but they work hard and make great food. The truck is at 139th and Broadway Mon-Sat until 4 AM - making this my go-to spot for late night food in the area. The greatest regret of my life is that I am moving to Brooklyn, and will no longer be able to frequent this truck. It's too late for me, but it's not yet too late for you. So, go now. Go forth and gyro.

This is the absolute best halal cart I've found in NYC and I've tried dozens. They are a cut above…read morethe rest. Friendly guys, super cheap (just $5 for a massive bed of lamb/chicken/falafel over rice), open late, and the flavors are absolutely delicious (better than any brick-and-mortar halal restaurant I've tried). Important to note that they are often on Amsterdam Ave during the day and move the cart to Broadway & 139th between 4 and 5pm. I'm blessed they are so close to my apartment.

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.

This deli on wheels just opened up shop about two weeks ago. Their paninis aren't harshly pressed…read moreand they take them out just as the cheese melts, so they don't stay warm for long but have a good balance of crispy and bready textures. The grilled vegetable panini had a bunch of fresh basil in it with walnut pesto, which made me sooooo happy. The Turkey Muenster Jam was also nice, and generous with the cheese. My favorite thing was the Moroccan lentil soup, which was thick and not bland or salty but still tasty and with a great orange-brown color. I don't see any salad menu when they're parked at NYU, but they talk about them on their Twitter when they'e serving at other locations and apparently they've given away some too. The menu otherwise is pretty small, only around 6 different paninis and 6 different soups, but a good variety nonetheless; could get bigger. I highly recommend the combo option of a half-panini and small cup of soup for $7, which is what most of their paninis cost whole. Stick around, truck! I'll be back next autumn!

They were very friendly and definitely brought some personality to the vendors in the neighborhood. They must have retired because the two guys that run the truck are vastly different. I feel like the experience is different and the food isn't as good. Overall this is still a good truck to go to if you are on a budget and only have $3 to spend on their two pizza slice special. But for a few dollars more you can go to a pizza shop towards Columbus and get better quality pizza and a soda. Just a thought.
