All the portions were rather small and was not served hot. Didn't really like the spice flavorings of any skewers. Also there was some sort of unpleasant after taste. It could be just me. Maybe that spice is an acquired taste. The good: squid was tender. But you get 4 tiny pieces on a stick.

Not sure what the review under me was talking about that there is a weird after taste. Perhaps…read moreshe's referring to the numbing taste? That's typical of Szechuan food. My skewers were served hot and it was delicious. Back in Szechuan this is typically street food. Usually they sell you a handful of raw skewers and you stick the raw skewers in the hotpot to boil until cooked. You consume while standing in front of the cart. This one however was served to you cooked in either a bag (if you order maybe 2 pcs) and in a tall cup if you order more than a few. The flavor was good. Very typical of Szechuan hotpot. I loved it. The serving is also typical of a skewer stick, few pieces on a stick. Price was averaging $1.50 each which was also typical I also ordered the rose jelly. That's also typically eaten with this kind of food, because it's spicy and numbing, you cook down with the sweet and cold brown sugar or rose jelly. This was my second try and I'd try every time I'm in flushing.

A few months ago, me and my sister got burritos from this truck. The burritos were ok, we only got…read morethem because they were open super late and we were hungry after the gym. Today, on June 14th, I stopped by the truck at around 9pm. I politely said "Hi" and the man inside the truck (he has a hoop earring that has a cross on it) just looked at me. So, I said "Hi" again and he responded saying "yes". I was appalled so I just walked away. After about 5 minutes, I went back to the truck and I said "When someone says hi, it's polite to greet them, not say 'yes'. Keep being rude, that's the reason why you don't have any customers right now. Have a goodnight". I don't tolerate disrespect or rude behavior. If you're running a business, it is imperative that you understand the importance of being polite. I will never go back.

The street food scene in Flushing has been stretched thin in the last few years due to local laws,…read morebut the influx of Latin based food trucks and carts have somehow become a more viable option. Carrito El Guerrero, located just outside of Queens Crossing mall (#1), has maintained a steady presence giving folks an option outside Asian cuisine. Like many Mexican carts in Jackson Heights and Corona, they offer a myriad of options ranging from tacos to huaraches to picaditas. Not surprisingly they have non-Mexican options like pupusas on the menu. For time saving reasons, I usually end up ordering tacos. At the standard NYC price of $3 each (#2), the various tacos I've tried (carnitas, asada, chorizo, al pastor) were somewhat mediocre. They're certainly not better than anything in nearby Corona but they do the job, especially when one isn't feeling like Asian food. I've had better results with their cemitas, picaditas, and even their quesadillas. They are sometimes a little too generous with the lettuce and I ask them to scale it back. The pupusas are pretty disappointing, but that was a gamble from the get go. As expected, its cash only. ____________ (#1) After bouncing around several other locations in downtown Flushing.

So instead of ordering another dish, we decided to just get something from this stand, which is located across the restaurant. You're immediately greeted by the amazing aroma coming from the meat skewers. We ordered the chicken & lamb, both for only $1.50 each. The lamb was very flavorful with the paprika powder and the meat was tender. As for the chicken, I didn't ask for paprika because I can't handle spicy foods. So my chicken ended up to be not as flavorful. Nonetheless it was very delicious and juicy. A lot of stands have overcooked and dry meat but this stand cooks them just right. It's a quick, cheap and tasty snack that I'd recommend you try.

There are at least 15 different skewer options, along with other fun fried snacks and vegetables. The skewers are grilled over charcoal, and the smoke was so prominent that we had to stand 10-15 feet away to avoid it. We knew it was going to be worth it. We got a couple of each chicken gizzard, lamb kebab, chicken heart, beef kebab, and pork belly ($2 each), listed in the order of my personal favorites. I loved the crunch of the chicken gizzard the most and honestly could have eaten at least five of them myself. The lamb kebab wasn't too gamey, and the cumin seasoning was perfection. The other three kebabs were flavorful, but weren't quite as memorable. Overall, the skewers had an intensely charred, smoky flavor that's hard to replicate without a charcoal grill.
