The Taco Truck

The Taco Truck

Tacos from a truck?  Yes, I was skeptical at first, but this truck attracts plenty of new and existing loyal customers everytime that it is parked here in Jersey City.  This truck is located one stop away from New York City, the Exchange Place stop, aka my take of a mini version of Wall Street of Jersey City.   There aren’t a lot of restaurants in the neighborhood, besides your usually Subways, Cosi, Au Bon Pain, Marker’s, Kitchen Cafe, Garguilo’s, and several others that might be of some walking distance.   There have been food trucks parked around like Nick and Perry’s and Lucinda’s, but none of them attract a crowd like The Taco Truck.

Having said that, my co-workers gave me the final push to come to this truck.   When we came here at 2pm, there was still a decent line.  Be warned that there is quite some wait before you get your food.  When you come here during rush hour, I hear that you can wait up to 40 minutes, so consider that before you take your trip over there.

Five Hungry Guys hitting up Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries: Queens

(718) 767-6500

Having never heard of Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries until recently (I know, where have I been?! Stuck in the office too long!) and having only eaten In N Out Burger this past summer when I was in California (absolutely delicious by the way), I was all too happy to raid this burger joint. My Australian friend, Gary, wanted to hit a Greasy, fatty, delicious Burger spot before we hit the bar and him leaving the States for his home down under. I was recommended this place.

Halal Guys NYC

53rd & 6th Avenue (Next to the Hilton Hotel)
New York, NY
Operations: 7:30pm – 4:00am

This halal cart is famous for its chicken and rice platter. As you may see many other vendors like this one, the taste and quality of the food is completely different. Every day there is a long line queued with many hungry New Yorkers as well as tourists just to get a taste of this delicious platter. The line moves very quickly and the wait is definitely well worth the wait.
