I wanted something that would be quick, but also very good!I went to Los Cuñados food truck in the Financial District, just a few blocks away from my hotel! It was a perfect spot to stop by for a quick meal! The setup is straight forward as you'd expect, but the aroma of this food truck alone was amazing! Following a very long travel day, I wanted something that would be satisfying, and they delivered! They have all of the standard fare including asada, carnitas, al pastor and some other authentic offerings if you're looking to try something different. One of the first things I noticed about my meal was that everything was extremely fresh. I ended up getting [2] Carne Asada tacos. The tortillas were warm and tender. The carne asada had an abundance of seasoning. There was a lot of guacamole topped on the tacos and the carne asada meat was super tender and juicy! I'm glad that I only got two! They were quite filling! The service was quick since it was relatively late at night and there wasn't too many customers. I brought my meal back to the hotel room to eat it. If you're in the Financial District and want something casual but genuinely good, especially after a long travel day or work, this is definitely worth the stop!

Absolutely Phenomenal Birria Find at Los Morelos Food Truck!…read more Sometimes you just luck out finding an amazing food truck, and stumbling upon Los Morelos was definitely one of those moments. I decided to go for their Birria, and honestly, it completely exceeded my expectations. If you see this truck, stop what you're doing and get in line! Let me get straight to the point: the Birria was SO. DAMN. GOOD. Seriously, some of the best I've had in a long time, especially from a mobile vendor. You could taste the freshness immediately. The meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and had that deep, rich complexity you look for in perfectly cooked birria. It wasn't greasy, just pure, delicious flavor in every single bite. And the consumé? It was also very good! Rich, savory, and the absolute perfect companion for dipping. It wasn't just an afterthought; it complemented the birria beautifully and added another layer of deliciousness to the whole experience. What really sealed the deal for me, beyond the fantastic taste, was the value. They give you a really generous quantity of food - I was definitely full and satisfied afterward. Considering how fresh and high-quality everything tasted, the price felt absolutely perfect. It's becoming rare to find food that tastes this good, is made fresh, comes in a great portion, AND is priced so well. Los Morelos nails all of it. Overall, this was just a fantastic food truck experience. Delicious, authentic flavor, clearly fresh ingredients, great portion size, and an excellent price point. If you're craving top-notch birria (or likely any of their food, judging by the quality), I wholeheartedly recommend tracking down the Los Morelos truck. I'll definitely be looking for them again soon! Highly recommended!

I was having an extremely late lunch, 4:30 to be exact and wanted a lite bite. I ordered a Camaro. (Shrimp) taco and Chicken taco with just fresh lime to go.

The shrimp was perfectly cooked with onions and the chicken taco had seasoned cucumbers. Well.. I just have to go back and order more and take pics. Poor me! Lol! Really, if you're on Spring Street he parks his truck near Citibank. Tacos range from $4 and up. He also serves burritos, quesadillas, chips and guac and jarritos. More to come...

We got the burrito with al pastor and wrapped in cheese and it was INSANELY good! I've lived here for 11 years and it was by far the best burrito I've had in NYC. The burrito is massive and is like $15, but it could easily be shared by two people. I also had their birria tacos which were delicious! The meat is so flavorful and the consomé hits the spot. Definitely recommend coming here if you're in SoHo and I cannot wait to come back again.

The girl at the front mentioned how their tortas are different from others but I still opted for one. I came back to my hotel room and even though the walk was cold, my totra was still hot. The torta was ok but it was definitely different. It had alot of ingredients that I didn't expect on a torta (like I believe mozzarella cheese). I would go back but I might try a burrito instead or I would opt for less ingredients on the torta so it mimicks a more traditional torta.

I'm so glad I tried them out today and so so glad that I was so so so wrong! I ordered the Grilled Chicken and Spicy Pork soft tacos. Each taco came with raw onions, cilantro, and your choice of sauce. Rather than choosing my own sauce, I left the experts recommend sauce(s) that best complements each protein. Mr. Taco Bite recommended the avocado crema and salsa verde with the Grilled Chicken taco. The chicken was juicy and tender, but the flavors were a little subtle. The sauces enhanced the chicken slightly, but I do wish the salsa verde was a bit spicier. The Spicy Pork came with the picanto rojo sauce and WOW - I was blown away with the flavor blast. The sauce complemented the pork perfectly and the pork was so juicy and so good. The pork is also cooked with onions, so not only was there raw onions and cilantro, you get that oniony contrast with the cooked onions as well. I hear the steak and mushrooms are good too, so I will definitely return and try it all.

OK tacos, but definitely overly priced for what you can find outside of Manhattan…read more For as long as I can remember, this taco food truck has been parked on the edge of Whitehall and Water Street on weekdays. During prime lunch time, there is usually a steady stream of traffic, but not a whole lot. This is probably due to the fact that there is a Dos Toros Taqueria across the street and a Chipotle at 1 New York Plaza. With that said, I ordered 2 tacos during my 1st visit, 1 Steak and 1 Barbacoa. Each taco is $3.50 each, unless you order a shrimp or fish taco, which is a bit pricier. The 2 tacos were a decent size and had a fair amount of meat, but for $1-$2 less in the outerboroughs, I can get the same thing. As for incredients, other than the meat, they both had a spoonful of guacamole in them, along with a small amount of onions and just 2-3 slices of radish. Flavorwise, they were OK. They weren't bad, but because I paid $3.50 each for them, I probably didn't feel satisfied. To be honest, it was better than I thought it would be though. Also, it's probably one of the few "authentic" tasting taco places in the area because everyone knows Chipotle and Dos Toros are "Americanized" chains and there aren't any other taco trucks nearby.

Didn't care for the beans, as they were a bit hard for me, almost as if they were under cooked. But the chips are made there as well, and they are awesome.

New York City isn't exactly well-known for its barbecue. Meanwhile, the Katchkie Truck isn't…read moreexactly well-known, period. But don't be expecting some sarcastic-ass review that tells you just how terrible this joint is so I can have it all to myself. So, let's be clear - this place is good. And I sincerely want you to stay far, far away. That being said, this truck's not found at different locations on different days of the week, tracked down by Twitter-savvy foodies. No, it's tucked itself away in a parking lot off Spring Street between Hudson and Varick (ridiculously referred to as the Hudson Square Urban Courtyard on the website), mostly hidden from pedestrian peripheral vision unless being specifically sought out (something we both now know you wouldn't dare). And, to be honest, its virtual non-existence on food truck blogs doesn't make it any more exclusive or underground or cooler than its nomadic brethren. However, (just when you were wondering when the hell we were going to get to the barbecue bit) it does so happen to make a super-addicting, super-satisfying, super-delicious BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich. And I'm super-serious. On any given workday, I know that this tremendous lunch option (packaged at $10 with a side and Strawberry Lemonade) is available to me, further evidenced by the free sandwich that awaits me on my next visit from my five-time punched Katchie Card kept in my wallet. Served on a Martin's potato roll and with a BBQ sauce that sits only a notch or two thicker than the vinegar-thin finish of a Carolina variety, this sandwich only gets better with a melted slice of New York State Cheddar. I gotta say, I was certainly skeptical of cheese on pulled poultry at first, but after giving it a go, it's got my blessing. Yet if chicken just ain't your thing, the Katchkie Farm Veggie Burger is a fantastic alternative, which, mind you, you won't hear me say about veggie burgers all too often. And I really don't know what type of vegetables they mash up and destroy in order to form this patty, but the end result is something decidedly not cardboard-like. Joined by a thick tomato slice, their homemade tomato jam, and their homemade chive roll, and we've got a pretty strong back-up plan put into place. Their sides can either be a little too stingy (a small helping of their sounds-better-than-it-really-is Potato Salad with Eggs and Dill) or a little too simple (the just-plain-boring Heirloom Tomato and Cucumber Salad). And while I personally enjoy the aforementioned Strawberry Lemonade, I recognize it might be a little too sweet for some. The Katchkie Truck is part of the Great Performances catering company, which seems like quite the classy operation with the high-quality, farm-fresh hook-up just two hours north of the city. They also have occasional specials, where I've heard rumors of a Duck Confit Quesadilla. The two-man crew working the [im]mobile kitchen are a friendly bunch, but the service can be on the slow side. The low count of in-the-know customers helps out in spades here as this handful of people in line seems to be just the speed for the staff. Naturally, if there is a spike in numbers, I'm gonna find out. Seriously, I'm here pretty much every week. And you can be sure I'll be the creep judging you from across the lot, staring you down uncomfortably with eyes that scold you for not heeding my warning, complete with a BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich hanging out my mouth. That's just how I roll, sucka.

We came across this food truck when we were exploring Roosevelt Island today in the FDR four…read morefreedoms park (south end of the island). Not knowing how many options we would have elsewhere on the island on our first trip, we jumped on the opportunity to grab some lunch and a cool drink. They had a large seating area set up outside the truck, and all the tables had umbrellas or were under a large tent. Can't beat a view of midtown from Roosevelt island for lunch! There were limited items on the menu, 2 small salads, 2 sandwiches, and hot dogs, along with some chips, cookies, and drinks. We opted to try the chicken and veggie sandwiches and yum, did they hit the spot. Everything was fresh as can be and the gentleman offered to toast the sandwiches for us. The charred chicken sandwich was served on pretzel bun with provolone cheese, BBQ sauce, and a summer slaw, while the veggie sandwich was wheat bread with summer squash, eggplant, radish, and homemade pesto. I also tried the blackberry lemonade which was fresh and tasty but did not have a ton of flavor (definitely made from scratch and no sugar added) so might not be for everyone. Will definitely eat here again if we see the bright green truck around the city!
