Octopus Falafel Truck

This place is amazing. There’s no menu, no options of what to order, you just stand in line, and when it’s your turn, he just gives you a platter of deliciousness. It’s 20$ but I stuffed my face and could only finish half, then just stuffed my face again for dinner. So basically $20 for 2 delicious meals, not bad. The details apparently change each day (but I have a feeling the chicken and falafel are always the base, although I can't be certain). Today, I had: A boatload of immaculately charcoal-grilled chicken thighs. Just perfectly blackened and seasoned incredibly. The pictures don’t show it much but underneath that big pile there’s tons of chicken. Then this awesome falafel, so green on the inside and delicious. And then the most random ingredients I could ever imagine, but they w

The locally known & most obscure food cart ever! You never know what you are going to get. No utensils or napkins are provided. No prices posted and no drinks for sale. He only accepts cash. Yet somehow, this is some of the best food you will eat period! The quality of the food is top notch & would be right at home if served at a high end restaurant. Don't let the Styrofoam container fool you. Let the smoky aroma wafting down 20th Street draw you in. The owner is quirky & talkative. He will tell you how this is REAL food, talk about its quality & how good it is for your health. Wait your turn, approach the cart when called & pay up! You won't be disappointed 😋

The line was already forming at 1145am. We were the 10th people in line at that time. My husband said it’s really good the first time he had it and it was only $10 last year, but now it’s been increased to $20 plus you get a fresh fruit. He basically fill up the to go box entirely. It got everything from veggies to meat to fruit all in one box. It’s pretty good considering there is no menu to choose from and you eat whatever he cooks. The guy is pretty nice. I can’t believe how long the line still was even when we got our food. He’s only there from like 12-3p or something like that. So if you’re in Philly , try this at least once.

Honestly I thought this place might be overhyped but it was not. Our dish was pears, chicken, lo mein, peppers, and grapefruit and it was one of the best things I’ve ever had from a food cart (even some nice restaurants). No notes, will go back every chance we get.

The food, especially the falafel, is delicious. Its definitely one of the mpst unique food carts I've been to and I would definitely try it again. This single meal is likely to be 2-3 meals for me. 😵❤️‍🔥
