Share All sharing options for: The Most Fantastic Philly Food Trucks
Philadelphia’s vibrant and burgeoning food culture wouldn’t be complete without its bevy of phenomenal food trucks. Peppered throughout Center City, university campuses, and surrounding neighborhoods, these mobile hotspots are as diverse as they are inventive. They serve everything from new takes on cultural street foods to surprising twists on fan-favorite Philly staples like “wooder ice” and cheesesteaks.
Each of these 8 food trucks is worth seeking out for fast, flavorful, and filling cuisine.
Eater maps are curated by editors and aim to reflect a diversity of neighborhoods, cuisines, and prices. Learn more about our editorial process.
Created with a mission to provide healthier alternatives to traditional burgers, The Grilled Salmon Stand’s simple menu features burgers, bowls, and cheesesteaks made from fresh and never frozen salmon.
Featuring savory crepes and sweet crepes, The Crepe Truck is a staple food truck on Temple University’s main campus. With a menu of regular, rotating, and limited-time crepes there’s always something new to indulge in and discover. If you make a trip, you can’t go wrong with classics like the strawberry shortcake or burger crepes.
After longing for a spot for late-night bites, Chef Joe Ermigiotti and his friends Patrick Doyle and Jack Craig brought Humpty Dumplings to life in 2014. Serving a variety of deep-fried stuffed dumplings, wings, salads, and noodle bowls, you can find its food truck vending at local events and festivals, or visit its storefronts in Glenside or behind the Saint Lazarus bar in Fishtown.
What makes El Tlaloc so special is its ability to serve up flavorful Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. They use the freshest ingredients to serve up a variety of Mexican street food, serving everything from birria and shrimp tacos to burritos, tortas, and nachos. You can catch this food truck when it pops up at various locations throughout Philadelphia.
Since in 2019, Red Stone Pizza is an unparalleled food truck that features a built-in wood-burning brick oven. From pepperoni and chipotle chicken to vegetarian options made with grilled vegetables or pears, its menu features a mix of classic and artisan pizzas. Pizza isn’t the only reason to make a trip — they also offer an array of salads, wood-fired wings, and appetizers.
Mom-Mom’s Kitchen has been specializing in handmade Polish eats with a modern twist since 2013. Its fun and unique perogies — think Philly cheesesteak, vegan potato, and kapusta — are the stars of its menu. The food cart makes regular appearances at local festivals and farmers’ markets, but you can always stop by its stationary location on South Street.
