When I was a Drexel student I ate here at least once a week, and I have to visit every time I'm back in town! The Cap'n Crunch tilapia was a favorite of mine way back when, but in recent years they've also added things to their menu like salmon and shrimp which are both fantastic as well. The shrimp might just be my new go-to - so crunchy, succulent and delicious. I also love getting their curries whenever they have it. You can't go wrong with anything though - everything is fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Whatever you order, I recommend getting it "bossed out" aka with all their tasty sauces. Portions are big, prices are reasonable and service is friendly. There is a wait during lunch hours so get there early or pre-order over Facebook or Instagram. Shout out to Rob and his amazing crew for the consistently...

Freshman year, I had no idea what a food truck was, until one day, someone sat across from me with the most delicious looking burrito. "Cucina Zapata", he managed to say in-between bites, " its the last food truck in the alley." Not knowing what to expect, I ventured down past the line of food trucks until there it was. I ordered a chicken satay taco, and from that moment on, I knew why I had chosen Drexel University.

This is the top food truck around. They balance price with quality perfectly, and the service is best of the best. These guys deserve a Michelen star. Tilapia burrito? Thai beef? Amazing teas? They have it all. Ready for you to try. Do not do it for me, though, do it for random burrito guy.

Thanks for making my and everyone else's experience so great,...

Favorite food truck. Asian/Mexican fusion. Very creative and delicious dishes at a great value. All of their fish tacos are outstanding. A friend had a cheesesteak here and said it was one of the best he has ever had.

It has been a while since being able to visit as I live in the suburbs and this truck is located in downtown Philly. However, food is so good here that I had to leave a positive review. Unfortunately, the hours from what I recall seem to only be convenient for people who live in Philly.

The owners are also very personable and friendly. The last time we visited they were closing up and even offered free bubble tea. Located on Ludlow St where there is a huge gathering of food trucks. There is always a line and crowd around this truck, a testament...

Absolute bang for the buck. I got the Katsu Platter as suggested by the many rave reviews. Perfect aromatic and sticky rice, handful of veggies/salad, topped with crispy light friend chicken katsu, and drizzled with Spicy Mayo and Sriracha. I got the fried egg as well. Sooooo goooodd and FRESH for $11. I’d recommend to eat it right away before the katsu loses its crisp. The box is sturdy enough to walk around and eat. Update: Went back for seconds. This time, I got the shrimp and salmon tacos. Giant fried prices of shrimp and salmon, veges, avocado, and their spicy mayo sriracha. Got the Thai Tea, which was really good (not too sweet, just the perfect sweetness). Everything here is amaze, but there is a line during lunch hours. Definitely worth it.
