Love this food truck. Never misses. The hot sauces are amazing. The meat is tender. The rice and beans are flavorful. Nothing better than grabbing a burrito here and eating it at CHEW!

Best birria I've ever had! It comes piping hot with melty cheese and stuffed with beef. The consomme is flavorful with bits of carrot, onion, and herbs, and isn't overly salty. Plus you get grilled onions, a spicy pepper, crunchy cucumbers and radishes, and super tasty salsas. They do not skimp out here. Plus the people working the truck are super friendly and smiley. This place is a gem!

My first time getting tacos from a truck in Philly and of course they’re 1000 times better than restaurants!! Prices are very fair, I got 3 al pastor tacos for $11 and it comes with cucumbers, radish, lime, roasted jalapeño, and red + green salsa. They also have a drink menu, but the drinks are served in plastic water bottles, which skeeved me out a bit. I think they would benefit from switching to actual drink cups! I have to say the salsas can be much spicier, they were very mild which I was a bit disappointed about. They also use store bought white corn tortillas, which I did not have a problem with, but I know it can be an issue for some people. They use two tortillas per taco and the tortillas are cooked in the meat oil beforehand. I would definitely come back here again!

Food truck located on 17th and Washington… a must try! I got the bistec tacos and oh my goodness, I wouldn’t change a thing about them. Squeezed lime and the salsa verde on top, absolute 10/10. Ordered there and it was less than a 10 minute wait. Accept cards, which is great. Definitely coming back to try more!
