NYC Food Truck Face-Off 🚚🍴 – Western Edition

Wondering where to grab a quick, tasty bite around NYU? From cheesy pasta to halal classics, we’ve got the scoop on the best "Western-style" food trucks near campus! 🍗 Halal Food (Purple Truck) 💲 Budget-friendly | ⏳⏳ Medium wait Crispy, sweet-and-spicy glazed chicken wings that surprise with every bite — almost like Korean fried chicken meets NYC street food. Fries are decent but tend to be soft. Comes in a sturdy aluminum container that keeps everything hot and crispy. Perfect for a guilty pleasure meal after class — but bring a drink 🥤, it can get rich! 🌮 Fogon Mexperuvian (Mexican Truck) 💲💲💲 Mid-range | ⏳ Quick service Flavorful, well-seasoned beef with creamy avocado salsa 🥑 and hearty sides. Rice can be a bit dry, but the sauces save the day. Fresh lettuce adds a refreshing crunch — surprisingly balanced despite the generous toppings. Great portion, no lines, and super fast. Ideal when you’re in a rush but still want a real meal! 🍝 Pastasole (Pasta Truck) 💲💲💲 Mid-range | ⏳⏳⏳ Longer wait Made inside a giant wheel of Parmesan — yes, cheesy goodness everywhere! 🧀 Fair warning: It’s on the salty side and very rich. Not for light eaters or those avoiding heavy flavors. Packed in a smaller paper box, so don’t expect huge portions. 🥘 Halal Food (White Truck) 💲💲 Good value | ⏳⏳ Short to medium wait Classic lamb over rice 🐑 — tender, cumin-spiced, and smothered in that iconic white sauce. Savory, satisfying, and deeply flavorful. A NYC street food legend! Whether you're craving something cheesy, spicy, or hearty — there’s an NYU food truck for every mood. Eat up, you earned it! 🎓✨ #NYUFood #FoodTruckLife #CampusEats #NYUEats #StreetFoodNYC
