Foxy isn't exactly slinging the most traditional falafel or schwarma/gyros out there, but it's still pretty damn tasty. I'm a fan of all three types of falafel they have and usually opt for the stoplight platter, which is a combination of all three. Load it up with some complimentary pickled veggies, yogurt sauce, harissa, etc. and it's a satisfying meal. Whatever you order, I'd recommend going platter vs sandwich - you'll score some bonus hummus and pickled goodies and also won't be wearing your meal once the pita inevitably releases its contents all over your previously clean clothing. Anything coming out of the deep fryer is also a safe bet - the fried cauliflower and cheese curds are anything but healthy, but are quite good. Bonus points for the consistently friendly staff and admirable ingredient sourcing. read more

Yummy!! I'm not even a vegan and loved this place. The lunch project tacos were heaping and the salad refreshing. My buddy had the curry falafel and simply said, "terrific" (I forced him to only one word). Plus, free ice water!! Come try this place... read more

I'm sitting here wondering why I did not eat this every single weekend for the entire summer. Just why? I've had a lot of falafel in my life. A lot. I realize now that Foxy Falafel may be the first time I've eaten falafel before midnight and quite possibly the best I've eaten at any time of day. Erica is the queen of chickpeas. I stopped by at the Kingfield Farmers Market yesterday. I had a hard time deciding between the beet falafel or the regular, but in the end I went with the standard falafel sandwich, which was so yummy and filling. It's best to start with a classic, no? In addition to those little chickpea wonders, Erica makes the sauces (try them ALL, especially the spicy harissa) and the pickles herself. She told me today that she pickles almost everything she can find, so the selection is always different. I don't even know what a couple of the things I put on top of my sandwich were, but they tasted fantastic. Dressing up your sandwich is half the fun of eating falafel in the first place... and this is like a much tastier version of the condiment bar at Maoz. The only issue with this sandwich is that it has that burrito-syndrome where you just can't get it all the fillings mixed up well enough. So the first bite is all sauce and the last couple bites are all hummus or all cucumber or whatever. I think next time, I'm going to order all the filling in a bowl instead of a pita so it's not such a hot mess towards the end. I saw someone do that after I was already eating mine like an animal. P.S. I enjoyed this falafel so much that I took it upon myself to make my own bright-magenta beet falafel the very same evening. Falafel for lunch and dinner... it was a good day. read more

The falafel here is decent, but not great. A sandwich costs $6 and it comes with five falafel pieces, and lots of lettuce and lemony hummus. For $6 this seems like a gigantic rip-off; I could get nearly twice as much falafel, for half the price, at Wally's in Dinkytown, which is the reigning falafel champ in the Twin Cities, in my opinion. Moreover, Wally's falafel is better quality, and comes with more vegetable filling. The falafel pieces themselves at Foxy Falafel taste pretty good---a nice blend of herbs with a perfectly crispy outer shell. On the other hand, the hummus inside wasn't great, in my opinion, and there was way too much of it. Foxy Falafel definitely didn't get its filling proportions correct and make the sandwich feel like a glorified hummus wrap. You won't see this kind of amateurish production at Wally's. Also, where were the tomatoes? Just lettuce and hummus don't make for a great falafel sandwich. Cucumbers would have been nice, too. I liked that they use a wholewheat pita and bypass that white flour nonsense. That was their one saving grace. In short, Foxy Falafel is too expensive for what it's offering and makes a mediocre product at that. If they charged only $2.50-$3.00 per falafel sandwich, I'd give them another shot. As it stands, I'd rather just go to Wally's. read more

I was taking a lunchtime stroll when a sandwich board caught my eye. It read "Cheese Curds. Gluten Free". I took a closer look. A magical food truck by the name of Foxy Falafel claimed to serve deep fried gluten free cheese curds with local honey for dipping. I patiently waited in line preparing myself to be disappointed. I approached the window and asked "Do you have a dedicated gluten free fryer?" and for a second I thought I heard angels voices. It was actually the Foxy Falafel darling's reply of "Oh, yes. Nothing with gluten goes into our fryer". I requested one order of cheese curds. They came to me. I bit into one. The world spun...there may have been fireworks...I was suddenly aware that I was standing on Marquette Avenue, fighting tears over the Midwesterner's taken-for-granted everyday dish of cheese curds. People were concerned...perhaps they thought I was choking or maybe they were reconsidering their lunch choice. I ignored the strange looks. I walked away, blissful, and sat on a bench so I could focus all of my being on the gluten free cheese curd consumption. I did not think Cheese Curds would ever visit my tongue again for the rest of life. Thank you, Foxy Falafel. The day I found you is the day I realized all of my cravings could be met in gluten free fashion. Bravo! FYI - I went back for falafel. Also delicious. read more

I've had many a falafel.. they're usually dry, burnt, and, well, not very good. In fact, I continue to try them simply because I was hoping to eventually find a place that knew how to do them right. Enter, Foxy Falafel! It was about 10am on a Sunday morning and I was starving and didn't want to wait in line at the Chef Shack for a $5 hotdog (really?? you don't even pay that at a Twins game!!). Right next to the chef shack, was Foxy Falafel. I decided to try the falafel sandwich. It's served in a pita pocket with some kind of uh.. coleslaw(?) at the bottom, then the falafels, and toped with these amazing pickled onions. They're sweet, they're pickled.. they rule. Then, you have the option of 3 different sauces. I tried two out of the three (cucumber mint, and the other white sauce that I can't remember the name of.) Both were equally delicious and the cucumber mint did not smack you in the face with an overwhelming amount of mint. Foxy, you have redeemed my faith in the falafel. I just wish that I didn't have to wait until the weekends to get them! :-) read more

Best falafel in town? Well, that's debatable--depending on what you like in a falafel. I understand that the title of "best falafel" is one of deep contention and debate. I like mine moist on the inside, yet crispy on the outside; substantial and yet light. For me, this may very well be the best falafel in town. I love that the insides are green and the outside is golden. I love that they taste so darned fresh; and are never dried out or chewy. Maybe you don't like your falafel that way. I'm not going to tell you what to like. The thing that really impressed me, however, was how absolutely... light... the falafel was. You can taste all the components and it has a distinct veggie-ness to it. It's not just a starchy-textured mass. Oh, and let's talk about the sour mango sauce. I'm not a big sauce-er on my food, but I will DROWN my pita in this stuff. It is so danged tasty. Foxy Falafel also provides a host of pickled things; pickled kohlrabi, cukes and beans were all available the last time I visited. There seems to be some menu variation, though I'm not sure how much or when. They were offering quinoa taboli one time I was there and chicken satay the next time. It'll be fun to try out new things. Foxy is moving from a food-truck-only business to a brick-and-mortar outfit in my neighborhood. I did notice that the first day they were in-building, the service was not nearly as quick and smooth as it is on the truck. They were, however, on their FIRST DAY, so I'm understanding. I'll see how things improve over the next few weeks as the whole wait-order-serve navigation is worked out. read more

PLEASE stop reading the top 10 Yelp falafel recommendations in Minneapolis, they all fall far short of Foxy. Foxy is the only falafel in town that is lightly fried, not Minnesota State Fair deep fried yuk. One mistake I have made: their brick and mortar location is not open on Sundays :( read more

Delicious! I've been trying to try this place. We went to the Kingfield Market on a recent Sunday. The line for a sandwich was rather short, so I hopped in, got my sandwich and filled that pita up. I had a pickle, a little sauce and some pickled cauliflower. The sandwich was great! The falafel balls were the perfect temperature and nice and crispy on the outside. The pita itself rocked too! Sometimes the pita just isn't right. It sure is at Foxy. Unfortunately, it started to fall all over and rip so I lost a little. The selection of sauces and condiments worked really well for my sandwich. I'm pumped to try the brick and mortar store very shortly. read more

Great Falafel! Even better condiments! Tried this truck on a whim a couple of weeks ago. Portions are generous and they have a couple different types of falafel along with other vegetarian and vegan options. The falafel was good, but it's all about the condiments! They had about 3 different sauces to choose from and 3 different types of pickeled vegetables. I added the green sauce and pickeled red onions to my falafel and that put it over the edge! Definitely will be back soon! read more

WOW is all I can say about this. Tried the curry falafel. Loved the huge portion, gorgeous looking fresh cucumbers/tomatoes on top too + the server yourself sauces (yogurt, tahini, and more) and picked veggies (onions, peppers AND cauliflower) Then, we decided to try the Beet Falafel. Sounded interesting and unique. That was OUTSTANDING! The sweetness of the beet was really tasty and is leaving me wondering how I can try to make something like that at home. SO stellar and better than any other falafel I've had. Plus they do it up right with all the fixin's read more

When I want falafel there is is only one kind I want ... a Foxy Falafel! I had been craving them all winter. I found a few substitutes but none could compare to the perfect balance of hummus and fried chickpea love. I keep it simple and go with the Foxy. No frills just pure goodness So today my craving was fulfilled. So glad food truck season is back. read more

Finally found Foxy Falafel Truck in downtown Minneapolis and boy was I glad I did. A nice departure from the Mexican-fusion-deepfried-bbq trucks that seem to dominate the Minneapolis food truck scene. I tried the "stop light" sandwich and topped it with the yoghurt and harissa sauces and some pickled veggies. The sandwich included beet, curry, and traditional falafel balls though each unique flavor was not very distinguishable in the overall mess of tastiness. The cold generic pita was probably the low point but far from a deal breaker. Might just go for a platter next time so I can better appreciate the delicious falafel balls. Make sure and grab a couple pickles on the side, they must be homemade because they were awesome! read more

Oh cart of goodness. The falafel is a B+. I'm not the right one to ask, I'm ruthless about falafel, and the best in the cities, I maintain, is at Filfilah in Columbia Heights (ish?) However I like the smallness of the balls, I love the beet version (cool idea) and it's got good crisp flavorful stuff going on. BUT - The peripheral stuff here makes this an OMG epic portion of food-cart-porn yum. I *highly* recommend the beet falafel with the preserved lemon and goat cheese tzatziki. This is probably my favorite beet/goat cheese flavor iteration of late. Where do you go when pretty soon McDonald's will probably offer beet and goat cheese salads. I actually prefer the gluten free plate. You get extra veggies and a solid helping of one of the few extra-thick hummus helpings I've had that don't feel lazy, and the green tahini stuff is super. Volume isn't crazy, but it's enough to feed my face just fine. And that brings us to... Price for this and lemon/basil infused water - seven bucks. SEVEN BUCKS are you kidding me? You can spend seven bucks at a Chipotle. You can spend seven bucks at a Subway. You can spend seven bucks on salad from a case or "chinese food" from a steam table - and not even think twice. Anyone complaining about price on this one -- FAIL. read more

Love me some Foxxxxy Falafel! I first had Foxy at Rock the Garden in 2011 and had their signature Falafel. Since then I've become hooked on their Curry falafel and frequent the truck regularly at the Kingfield Farmers market on Sundays. The staff is always great and you can't beat the "Smoothie Bike." Pickled onions are a must and I've started mixing the mint cucumber tzatziki sauce with the green sauce for an amazing array of flavors! read more

I didn't expect much but wanted to try it because of all the awesome reviews that I had seen. I didn't expect much as I've had falafel before that was bland or that was too big so it was a bit soggy in the middle. Foxy Falafel makes an amazing curry falafel and at six bucks, it's a relative healthy alternative to all the not nearly as tasty fast food stuff all over the place. The curry flavor was awesome and and the crispness is everything that I was looking for the first time I tried a falafel. Can't wait to try the other flavors! I will say that Annie D. is right, that this is a messier meal so I will also ask for a bowl as I felt like I had to work a bit to avoid spilling on myself. It close between this and Gastrotruck for the tastiest food that I've had so far but this is better priced. read more

I tried this truck at a food truck festival today and I was not impressed. I tried the chicken shawarma and falafels. Neither was anything I would order again. I ended up not finishing them and won't be coming back. read more

Now that the winter has set in and Foxy is in hibernation, I sure do miss their amazing falafel sandwiches! I tried to make it to the Kingfield farmer's market as many weekends as possible this summer for a falafel fix. Until Foxy, the Twin Cities were seriously lacking in the falafel department. FF fixed that with easily the best falafel I have ever had and their harissa sauce is equally amazing. I also adore their bike-powered smoothie maker. Now if they would only open a store front, so I could chomp their sandwiches year-round! read more

I had the best falafal I have ever had in my life. It was the beet falafal - bright red inside, crispy and crunchy on the outside. Lots of great umami. I could really taste the beet but it wasn't overpowering. The only thing I didn't like was the dry pita. It came with lots of pickled veggies. Yum. $6. read more

Wow! I now officially have a tie between Foxy and WSK for best falafel in town....YUM! Can't wait to try the brick and mortar restaurant but had the falafel at the Nokomis farmers market and I am officially hooked. read more

Picked up a Foxy Falafel pocket at the Fulton farmers market. Fresh falafel, fresh fillings, good flavor and a nice assortment of sauces. My only mild criticism is that they could find a better pita pocket. This is the falafel to beat. The others that are nothing but chickpea and spice pale in comparison. read more

Chose this spot out of about 50 trucks in up town and got the lamest gyro of my life. That and cheese curds that weren't up to snuff ensure I will never go to this truck again. Disappointing read more

Best flippin falafels ever!!! Order the stoplight platter, it will not disappoint. And if you have friends with you order the cauliflower and split it. So good! And the pickled veggies are an added bonus! Will try the cheese curds next time. So sad that food truck season will be coming to a close in a month or two. read more

They need to have food truck day every day where I work. We had the rare opportunity to sample 8-10 different food trucks today. After perusing the options of tacos, pizza, sandwiches, and Chinese, it was an easy pick to go for Foxy Falafel for something that looked tasty and on the healthier side of things. First: choose either deconstructed platter style or pita sandwich style. Second: choose falafel or chicken shwarma. Chicken shawarma pita sandwich it is! Price is a nice round $10. It came out really quick, less than 10 minutes despite having constant people in line. Sauces and pickles on the side and you can add to your delight. It was yummy, with lots of chicken and delicious fillings. One tip: when eating, mix the fillings a bit because all of your chicken is on top so if you eat the top first then you will be left with just fillings at the bottom; try to get a bite of chicken + fillings in every bite. Very satisfied with my lunch! read more

bike powered smoothie maker. pickled pink (onions?) falafel that is out of this WORLD. Probably healthy too, right? This is perfect if you're looking for a tasty lunch that won't leave you feeling like, blahhh. I would eat Foxy Falafel every day if I could. read more
