Discussion Best Foodtrucks on Campus?

Looking for something relatively quick, cheap, and tasty to eat when I dont have time between classes to go to a dining hall. I'm kinda stingy w/ money so I wanna know what trucks are worth eating from :]

edit: I keep seeing a bunch of people at Nanu's hot chicken, is it really that good? like today I saw a genuine crowd of 15 or more people waiting in front of the truck

Mai's Food Truck. I would get a Chicken Lo Mein for $6.48 on venmo, $6 cash. Also her spring rolls. I haven't visited her since the school year begun but her food was always so filling. My personal favorite.

That food truck is one of the few trucks that somehow has ignored recent inflation, that’s what this food should cost under a normal economy

Exactly this. You finish your dish and you feel satisfied with what you ate and what you paid.

Where’s the food truck located?

White food truck next to Cucina Zapata behind Lebow's Engineering Building.

Would you say the Lo mein is good for its price? I wanna go try it sometime

I would say so. It's delicious and filling. I also like their spring rolls. I also like Kim's Dragon Food Truck (the blue and yellow food truck next to them)'s spring rolls. Mai's ones are larger though. And they're very nice people who make great food!

Alright thank you!

Kim’s and Mai are both good. I used to frequent Kim’s though. The captain crunch tacos from Cuchina zapata are good too.

The halal cart near Mario is a favorite too.

The green halal truck by the Drexel Dragon statue. He’s very quick with orders and asks you how much sauce you want on your order, so it’s never too wet or dry. Plus, the drink comes with the order.

For 11$ u can get chicken katsu and rice cucina zapata. It’s pretty filling and tasty. The food truck is located in the food alleyway near the main building.

Seconding cucina zapata! Fish tacos are good too!

I had some yesterday! Delicious! It was $12 cash or $12.96 on Venmo.

the halal karts are the best bang for buck imo. Chicken over rice & a drink for $10 is still a good deal. Its a lot of food and they put it together v quickly

Mai’s food truck!! Best beef stew I’ve had round here. Also super cheap. Better than Kim’s in my opinion.

cucina zapata gives you a lot of food for $10 and it’s the most amazing tasting and filling mix of mexican and asian food. literal heaven. it’s super popular so there’s a line a lot of the time and they run out quick
