My wife and I got the Original Philly and the Philadelphian... both were hot, gooey, full of flavor... everything you'd want a cheesesteak to be. Definitely gonna come back for more! Also, I'm sometimes turned away from food trucks due to weather, but there is an AWESOME indoor area that is clean and spacious for dining. So whether you're in the mood for eating inside or out, you're covered. And the guys in the truck are super friendly, helpful, and patient. A+ all around. read more

This was honestly the best cheesesteak I've ever had. There is a large selection on the menu of different cheesesteaks it was hard to pick just one, everything sounded so delicious. The staff were very friendly and patient as well since it took us a while to decide what we wanted to order. This definitely satisfied my cheesesteak craving, and i'll 100% be back soon!! read more

I enjoyed both sandwiches (chicken and vegetable) from Malik's Philly's Phamous. I was happy to see there was also a vegetarian option which was super yummy with the seasoned fries. I will definitely stop by again! read more

Best Philly in San Antonio hands down! Everytime I grab one elsewhere it doesn't hit the same ‍

Literally don't even waist your time going anywhere else, I would provide a picture but by the time I thought of it the sandwich was gone. I ate it when it was warm not hot but honestly my fault because I had other stops before getting home but wow I can just imagine if it was hot. So 10/10 no notes. read more

Malik's Philly's Phamous Cheesesteaks - Best Philly cheesesteak in town! - Food Trucks Near Me - Universal City, Texas

We were blessed to find Malik's Phamous Cheesesteaks during covid and we've been coming ever since!! The consistency of hot, fresh to order cheesesteaks with meat, cheese and toppings piled on...every time! The flavor is perfectly seasoned and proportionate to the order. If you don't know what to get, they make great suggestions. Service is top notch every time and they treat you like they really appreciate your business! I can't say enough about the courtesy and professionalism. The ambiance is fantastic! The Rose Bush has a little bit of everything there. You can have private parties, you can play adult games like connect four or with big blocks, the kids can play on the playground and you can watch the games! Located right off of San Pedro, it's conveniently located not too far from Banana's Billiards and SAC. Malik Cheesesteak Malik Chicken read more

Mailk's Philly's Phamous Cheesesteaks Food Truck Review Mailk's Philly's Phamous Cheesesteaks serves up a solid cheesesteak that hits most of the right notes--flavorful and satisfying, but not quite top-tier. While the taste was decent, the portion size and overall experience didn't quite match the price point. It's a good stop if you're in the mood for a cheesesteak, but be prepared to pay a little more than it might be worth. read more

Went to the one in the rose bush. Came for lunch with some coworkers. I had high hopes, yes again because of how they hyped and reviews. I was expecting to be blown away. Well...I can only say mediocre. The Philly cheesesteak I had at the westlakes movies by marbach was way better and that's from a movie theatre. The one I got served here was under seasoned, and needed more cheese. I also had the Philly fries. Those were better than the sandwich but not by much. The reason it's not a two was the amount of fries, and they didn't skimp on the toppings! Coworkers are not looking good this year with the recommendations. read more

Not bad, and hey, A for effort. Definitely A-OK if you're craving a cheesesteak, but as for being similar to a Philly Cheesesteak? Nope. The bread's a good match but the steak + cheese is saltier and more processed tasting. Kind of a shady area (safety wise) and not shady enough (heat wise). It's a place with limited cover from the sun, so be aware if you visit during periods of heat or rain. Service is pretty 'eh', with the guy taking my order being a little short, even for a Philly guy. Still, worth a shot if you're in the area and want to try a passable cheesesteak! This place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Best cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly. If you want anything equal or better you're gonna have to go to Philadelphia. We ordered a small Philly Cheesesteaks, Phlamin Hot Philly, and the Elder Cheesesteak. Service was on point. Young man took our order and had food ready in a timely manner. Although they offer indoor seating, it was still too hot to sit there and eat. So we took ours to go. On a cooler day the vibe of the place would've been nice to enjoy. read more

I stopped by the north east side location for a quick bite. Wasn't sure what I really wanted so I asked for recommendations, really wasn't getting much help though. I went with a small Philadelphian and it was pretty decent. I wanted to be blown away, but just wasn't. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't taste like what I want the best cheesesteak in the city to taste like. Know that could also just be the type that I got so next time I'll try a different one. I would've liked this truck more if the service was better. I thought the guy taking my order was a little rude and even denied me when I asked if I could grab some content of him making the sandwich. I asked first because I know not everyone is comfortable but it really wasn't that involved and just caught me off guard. The bottom line with this place though, is that if you're craving a cheesesteak, this place will do the trick. But if you're looking for the most epic cheesesteak, you might have to give it a few tries. read more

Food is ok. Good even. But I kinda hate it here. It feels pricey, because I'm old and that happens, but also because it is. And maybe I'm misunderstanding the party who's meant to compensate the employees, in a food truck where I mostly order Togo food from a kiosk. But it's a little offensive to make me order off from a machine and then default a tip in. read more

Mando was so attentive and fast to get our order out , food was sooooooooooo goooooooood

The last time I went to Malik's, I got the Malik's Philly with lettuce and tomatoes, and it was delicious. But this time I went, they did a horrible job. The meat looks different. It looks like ground beef, not steak, the vegetables were not on the Philly, and it looks much smaller than normal. I am severely underwhelmed with the second impression. With how amazing the first experience was, they should be ashamed of themselves this second go round. I'm not sure what happened, but they should not have even opened the truck up to night if they were going to serve this food. read more

Malik's Philly's Phamous Cheesesteaks - Food Trucks Near Me - Universal City, Texas

Hands down the best Philly cheesesteak in satx. I have had many of them around town, sadly everything is meek in comparison to the Malik! It's so cheesy, it has mushrooms and it's just so good. The only veggies I think I've seen are onions and mushrooms and I think more than that shouldn't go in a cheesesteak. Malik's is open 7 days a week till 10 pm. I go there anytime I am in the mood for a filling sammich. Their Italian ice are so good, I've had the lime or lemon, pineapple and they are delicious and refreshing. If you're into hanging out, you can grab a beer from the bar. The service is grade A and if you're smart you can order online so when you get there it's a matter of picking it up. It is all made to order!!! So don't be mad if you have to wait more than 10-15 mins specially if there's a line. Usually there's one cook and obviously nothing is pre-made or pre-cooked. Perfection takes time! read more

Freaking delicious. I've never had a real Philly cheese steak but I got an original at Malik's and it was so hot and flavorful. It was juicy and a little cheesy and very well seasoned. The guy in the truck was very nice and connected with me over the style of jacket I was wearing I went to the new location at the screamin Chameleon and it seemed like a really good vibe. read more

I visited the food truck park, the Rose Bush off of San Pedro. This place is a awesome place to visit. There are a lot of different kinds of delicacies, from a seafood truck, Ramen, truck, chicken wing truck, and then you have the Philly truck. The guy behind the counter is phenomenal and will help you make the best Philly you would love. I ordered the regular Philly with mozzarella on top and a side of fries. This was the BEST thing I have ever had at a food truck. It came hot and fresh and yummy. The Philly itself had wonderful flavor. It was moist. The meat was tender and perfect. The onions were awesome and the melted cheese on top was just phenomenal. The fries were crunchy and perfect. Now you can add extra things to your fries here but I chose just to get the plain fries and I loved them. The Rose Bush is a place off of San Pedro and they have a wide variety food trucks available. They have a seafood truck, Ramen, truck, chicken wing truck, and the best Philly cheesesteaks ever. This place is good for a family night out. It has a ping-pong table, corn hole, connect four and Jenga. It also has a small playground area and a small basketball goal. The kids would love to run around and have fun. It's fenced in, so you don't have to worry about them running into the street. Definitely put this on your list of coming by and getting some yummy yummy treats read more

Absolutely amazing cheesesteak. The Malik style had extra cheese and steak and so worth it. The bun was soft and surprisingly durable to hold all the food in it without breaking. Fresh cheese fries on the side is a great companion for this food. Gentleman who took our order was very friendly and made great recommendations, including The Malik, and he wasn't fibbing. We enjoyed our meal outside where they had metal tables, bean bag toss, jinga, and more. I settled for sports on their big screen tv while enjoying my meal. If you are looking for a great Philly Cheesesteak, go to this one off San Pedro Ave. read more

Not what I remembered. The sandwich is a lot smaller and the peppers and onions were a bit over cooked.

I've been addicted to this place since I lived in SA and when they only had 1 food truck. While I lived a few minutes away from where they were, the Philly Cheesesteak never made it on one piece and by the time I was around the block from my house, the thing was gone. Now everything I head to SA, this is a must stop. I either have the original (extra toasted and extra seasoning), the philadelphian or the bacon ranch. I just can't seem to get away from these three. And their fries . . . goodness . . . incredible! Whether you get the original, the cheese, the bacon cheese or the herb, you can't go wrong. This is really a must try when in SA. Order ahead online so it's ready when you get there and you can throw down in your car as your phillycheese steak will not make it intact by the time you get home! read more

I don't know who the hell Malik is, but I'm about to start telling people he's my second cousin on my father's side. My guy's cheesesteaks are ON POINT! I'm from the northeast and after NYC, Philly is my favorite city. I've eaten at all the "best" cheesesteak places in the city and Malik's is right up there with the best, dare I say even better. As I stood in line at the food truck park trying to decide which cheesesteak to get, I heard the ancestors calling to me, "Pick the one that sounds most authentic." I skipped the Elder Eats. No shade, but that seemed too SATX for my people, and settled on the Malik Cheesesteak. Black Jesus anointed that sandwich from bread to mayo. Black angels sung out the hallelujah chorus when I bit into it. My spirit was comforted as I ate the food of my people. The meat was seasoned. Not "salt and pepper is too spicy" seasoned, but "Big Mama in Soul Food" seasoned. The bread was fluffy and warm, the toppings minimal because the meat was doing the heavy lifting. Utter perfection. Even the fries seemed to taste like they touched the hem of Marcus Garvey's cloak. THIS is what San Antonio is missing. Authentic food, made by folks who know what the hell they're doing and don't try to go overboard with the gimmicks. Malik and his whole crew are invited to the cookout now and forever. read more

My man grew up in Philly, so we were excited to come out and try Malik's. First, Maps brings you to the shopping corner directly across from it (on the NE side of the intersection). Malik's is a truck parked in the warehouse area on the SW corner. It was over 100* outside. Thankfully, there was sheltered seating. It would have been nice if the fans were on, though. As we were waiting, we saw some patrons come up and grab food they ordered ahead. That's a pretty cool ordering option! I got the regular Philadelphian with a side of jalapeños. The hubs got the southwest Philly (also regular). They were perfectly sized! Honestly, I couldn't even finish mine. They were absolutely delicious! Why not 5 stars? Well, that's the thing about food trucks in the San Antonio summers... if you do not have adequate processes and equipment, your guests will end up with minor food poisoning due to T/T abuse. It was very clear that the truck was not cool enough. The poor guy working in it looked like he was way past done melting alongside the Phillies he was making. Sorry, but we aren't fans of headaches and spontaneous dates with the toilet seats. read more

Great food and fast service would go back and would definitely recommend the price was great as well

When I'm craving a true Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, there is only one place to go.....Malik's!! They have the best and are as authentic as being in Philly! This particular food truck is just down the road from my office, so convenience is key. The Malik Philly 8/10 - the bun is fresh and tasty and it comes with your choice of cheese or Wiz. Choose mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc. The meat is very good with good seasoning. The overall experience is legit! The staff 7/10 - typically the staff working are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere 5/10 - it's a food truck in a sketchy area, lol. No seating, just carry out. Wish they would come to New Braunfels, TX!! I highly recommend trying them out if you haven't already!! read more

The taste of the Philly was phenomenal but for the price and the amount of meat I won't be returning.

I'm not from Philly but I've had cheesesteaks in Philly & Reading and this is a decent cheesesteak. Not as big but it's hearty enough. The meat was well seasoned (San Antonio eateries rarely season anything well). The sandwich is a bit soggy but it's really just that the bread is very soft and absorbs the oils from the meat. I'm not too mad at that. I mean unless you're going to eat in the parking lot, when you get home it's going to be that way. I ordered a Malik regular & large fry (a large is a large so I could only eat half). Speaking of fries...the fries are amazing. I'm not really into extras on my fries so these plain were perfect. I couldn't wait to get home and hit them with some malt vinegar. This location is closer to home than the San Pedro location. It's located in a corner store lot next to a strip mall. I ordered online and picked up at the designated time -on time. No wait. The second location is closer to work and I think I may try that location one day to see if there's a difference. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and I'll likely return when I get a cheesesteak craving. read more

Great cheesesteak and service was friendly. The area is a little shady, and there were some colorful characters hanging around. The cheesesteak made up for it, although the fries were flavorful, but soggy. If I'm in the area I'll be back, but I'd probably skip the fries. read more
