Just stopped by this place as the menu shown on Yelp photos look expansive. Walking up, you…read morebasically look at the menu and order from the one lady that makes the rolls. Unfortunately a lot of the rolls we wanted to get like beef brisket and curry fish balls ran out, also too is the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. We ended up settling for roast pork rice roll, and a beef version, and lastly fish ball version. They make it from scratch which is nice to see while the ingredients are chopped up to small pieces. I do wish they put more ingredients in but for the price they charge (average of $2.75 per roll), no complaints there. There is one small table outside to eat in but no indoor seating or bathroom. I would give 3 strong stars.

This shop is relatively new and offers a variety of fresh soy-based products such as tofu, ho fun,…read moresoy milk, herbal tea, and more.They also specialize in made-to-order savory cheung fun, served hot with a choice of fillings, toppings, and a side of sweet soy sauce. It seems like they're offering grand opening prices at the moment--someone who can read Chinese might be able to confirm that. I tried the fresh pork roll with egg, scallions, and cilantro for just $3. The rice noodles were smooth and soft, the proportions of ingredients to rice roll were well-balanced, and the soy sauce was flavorful. I enjoyed every bite!

So the Morocho food truck I went to and am reviewing now was located at 6th and 52nd, next to a…read moresecond Halal Guys (there was also another Halal guys that had a huge line still at 1:30pm on a non-holiday Monday at 6th and 53rd - not sure what the diff was). The ambiance of food truck - like any other food truck but without the frustration of long lines. I came at about 1:30pm on late October Monday 2023. I was not about to wait in line for halal guys, and so I totally came across this food truck by chance. God provides! The guys on the truck Saul and Cecilio (I probably am not spelling this correctly sorry!) are so nice. I asked the guy in front of me for rec and also the guys on the truck. They all said the Saltado with steak. It's now $15 (I was looking at some previous 2021 yelp prices when it was only $11!!!) but considering the recent times, it was reasonable with all the inflation stuff. I was really hungry (haven't eaten for 8 hours at this point) so I ate the whole thing pretty quickly. I think it might not be enough food for a really big guy, but I was also really full after, so maybe it is sufficient. I was eyeing the "poor man's" burger and pork belly sandwich hard though, good thing I have several more days here in NYC to try those out. It's so close to the conference hotel I'll be spending the next several days in. Totally agree with Barney - it's definitely SMALL but the service was quick and they do take card!! I'll most definitely be back later this week for a quick lunch! Thank you Saul and Cecilio!

TL;DR Version: - Small food truck, Huge Flavor…read more- Amazingly delicious at a solid price point - 100% recommend Long Winded Version: Food: 5/5 - Both burgers are amazing! They're jam packed with goodness. They don't skimp here. - The stir fry is the bomb too. - The flavor is very authentic to Peru cuisine. Location: 5/5 - Right next to a wine shop. Convenience. - Right next to the Courtelyou train station on the Q. More Convenience. Value: 5/5 - It's nearly impossible to get a burger under $15 in NYC and odds are it's not going to be great. - Morocho puts out some seriously delicious burgers and food overall at a price that keeps me coming back. - I'd probably come back anyway, it's that good.

There are 2 carts on avenue H..literally only yards from each other. The review is for the one that…read moreis closer to Nostrand avenue. The other one is called Sahara and this one doesn't really have a name--it just says halal and has a bunch of pictures of food! I hate to do this but anytime, I take my health in my hand, and try street meat, I always subconsciously compare it to the cart on 53rd and 6th. Hands down, I think the 53rd and 6th cart has the best white sauce and rice around (well as far as street vendors go!) and thats saying a lot because I am a rice snob!. But this halal cart, gets a 5/5 for their lamb! its tasty, tender and cut into perfect portions. I am also pretty pleased with their white sauce. I am always surprised at how hot the hot sauce in these carts can be. Don't get me wrong, I am a practical fire eater so I can appreciate the heat, but even I would say that it must be used in moderation. While this isn't the hottest hot sauce I've tried, (once again--that honor goes to 53rd and 6th}, it is definitely in the running. If you're not one who enjoys the taste of fire, I'd advise you to skip the hot sauce. My main gripe is that the rice is a bit more grainy than I'm used to, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Anyway, I'm accustomed to having pita with my lamb over rice, but since that is not automatically included with this platter, I had to ask for it. Instead of just cutting the pita into quarters and putting it in the tray like I expected, he threw it on the grill, lightly doused it in white suace, warmed it up, cut it up into slivers, put it on top of the rice and finished it off with more of that adductive white sauce! Perfection! Needless to say, i was pleased! IDK if he charged me an extra .50 cents because I asked for the pita, but all this yummy goodness, with a complimentary soda, came out to only $6.50. My favorite thing about the cart though is that its sooo close to home! It is located at the Flatbush junction right in front of the Triangle Junction or as most people know it, the Target mall, so I'm sure it is very convenient for many people. Whenever I have the hankering for a lamb platter, which is getting to be pretty often!, I'm glad that I do not have to trek to the city anymore--this cart is a much appreciated and quite delicious alternative for my usual haunts: 28th and madison or 53rd and 6th!

First of all I would like to give a shout out to Yelp for making me an Elite'14. I won't stop…read morewriting Reviews and giving Ratings to places that I venture into. Secondly Halal Food here is the Bomb! This is one of my Goto spots for authentic cheap and fantastic Quality food... Newbe Yelpers please take note. If you are in the Brooklyn Area you can catch the B44, B103 Busses or take the 2 or 5 Train last stop to BK College and walk to the Food Trucks. They are 2 of them on the corner. For people who drive you can park in the Target Parking lot in the back. If you arrive early from 8am-10am you'll pay only $7 for the Day or you can just Park around Avenue H or anywhere else that isn't Metered. There is Bike Racks available for people who ride Bikes as well and it's not too far walking Distance for people who live or attend school (Brooklyn College Midwood High School) within the area. So in closing I'll catch you all later let me go rest and preserve my stomach for tonight. You may see me in Fort Greene Park slope or East Flatbush eating elsewhere.

I am obsessed with the stinky tofu from this food cart. The lady is super generous with the portion…read moresize. You get so much tofu and the pickled vegetable pairs so well with it. Although it's not the traditional Taiwanese version I'm used to (with cabbage and carrots), I really like the lady's variation! (She uses shredded pickled daikon and carrots). I also ask for all the sauces and it's not too spicy either! I've only spoken Mandarin each time I ordered from her, I'm not sure if she speaks English or not. However, if you're a none Mandarin speaker, definitely speak up or grab her attention somehow to order since it can get chaotic sometimes if she's busy and she doesn't always remember who was first in line. She's very friendly!! I have gotten her stinky tofu at least five times since moving to Brooklyn and I've never gotten sick from it. Don't be intimidated by the street carts!

OVERVIEW: In many countries, it's not unusual for locals…read moreto eat two, or even three meals at street food stalls. This is not surprising, as many of these vendors can offer a hot, and delicious meal quickly, and for a relatively reasonable price. So, if you happen to be near Brooklyn Chinatown's famous 8th Ave, come visit Lotus Sister Food Cart. You'll experience the unique charm and feel of an authentic street food cart. And, at the same time, grab a quick tasty snack, or even a meal for a few people. For close to a decade it's been located on the corner of 57th Street and 8th Ave. And by chance, it's diagonally across 8th Ave from "Tofu Stall", another very interesting street vendor to visit. Keep in mind, that what's primarily being served here are quick eats, such as skewers, fried chicken, noodles, and dumplings. But this doesn't take away from the fact that the food here is delicious, and crazy fun to order and eat. WHAT TO ORDER: - The cheung fun rice noodle rolls are standard, but very good, and can be topped with fish balls, or curry fish balls. Of course peanut sauce and hot sauce can be added. - All the skewers are good, especially the chicken, chicken wing, fish tofu, fish balls, and others. - Their famous fried chicken legs are one of the best items, and are really crispy, with a hint of five spice flavor. Absolutely delicious. - The lo mien and rice noodles are tasty, but even better when topped with some of the skewers, or maybe some hot sauce. - The stinky tofu is a mild version, which is good to order if you like it, or if your trying it for the first time. - The dumplings are pork and chive, and are tasty, even though they are deep fried. - Plain cheung fun noodles, fried tofu puffs and other items are available in bulk, to take home and use in your own cooking. SERVICE: I really like the Auntie that runs this cart. She is friendly, to the point, and keeps things moving quickly, so everyone receives their order in a timely manner. When you're ordering, she always offers something additional for you to try, that she feels you will enjoy. She speaks Chinese and English, and is also happy to take your order by the point at the food or menu method if necessary. PARTING THOUGHTS: If I'm close to 8th Ave, hungry, and I don't feel like ordering from a restaurant, I can't pass up this auntie's food cart. Hell, just the smelll of her frying her famous chicken legs, is enough to catch your attention from almost a block away. So go visit her, and grab some chicken legs or cheung fun, and, what ever other tasty treats she convinces you to order. You'll be happy afterwards, I promise.

It's late, it's dark, almost everything is closed and you're on a hunt for food.... What do you…read moreturn to? I would suggest: made to cook skewers :) Yes, the cart looks a little sketch on the corner of 61st and 8th, but I'll assure that the food is legit, yummy and cheap. With a variety of options offered from typical beef / chicken / pork, you can get gizzard, squid, lamb and other stuff. Prices range from $1-4 and the portions are appetizer sized (meaning they're not huggggge but enough to satisfy a temporary craving). Simply walk up to the cook, tell him what you want and wait for your turn. For the most part, I'll assume this is a cash only place. So make sure to bring your ones and coins to make the transaction easier! Also, highly recommend the spicy powder on your food. Quite tasty with a pow.

I've been wanting to review this place since forever but never knew there was a review page for it…read moreuntil about a day ago. Once I found out the page existed, I used it as an excuse to drive down here to "do some research" to make sure that the quality is still the same before I could give the place a fair review. Yep, still one of the better BBQ meat on a stick carts around. The great thing about this place is that they marinate everything very well and it shows with each bite that you take. Once cooked over charcoal, they sprinkle a generous amount of cumin seasoning to everything then they ask if you want chili powder added on top of it. For me, the answer is always a yes for the chili powder. The choices on a stick here is beef, lamb, chicken wing, tofu, fish balls, and hot dog. My favorite is the lamb (really tender), but the tofu, beef, and chicken wing isn't too far behind. Everything is a dollar a stick except for the chicken wing, which costs $1.50 each. This is as cheap as good street food gets. It's very small though so it's only good for a snack or else you would have to buy a lot to fill yourself up.
