6 Best New York Street Food
1. Joe’s Steam Rice Roll
Joe’s Steam Rice Roll sells top cheong fun, the wide, translucent rice noodles filled with meat (pork, beef and shrimp are most common). Until now, one had to squeeze into a narrow mall in Flushing to get a paper plate teeming with the springy noodles doused in sweet soy sauce. But luckily now, there’s an additional hip Canal Street Market location.

2. Makina Ethiopian Food
Are you someone who loves salad. Then Makina Ethiopian food is one of the best trucks you must try. It is an equally healthful platter of squishy injera (sourdough-risen flatbread) with a choice of veggies, protein (beef or chicken) and a side of rice. Here all the dishes are gluten-free and can be made vegetarian or vegan.
The owner named Eden Egziabher prepares dishes that are inspired and influenced by her Eritrean, Ethiopian and Italian heritage.

3. NY Dosas
The Dosa Man is famous in the streets of New York city. His real name is Thiru Kumar. His spot opened in 2001 and since then he has amassed a great following.
Every street-food fan knows to beeline his NY Dosas cart, parked on the southwest corner of Washington Square Park. Dig into the vegan-friendly dosas—a southern India–style crêpe, packed with fragrant vegetables—and the piping-hot samosas to see why a perpetual crowd buzzes around this college-kid staple.

4. Los Tacos No. 1
Three friends—one from Tijuana, Mexico, and two from California—kicked off the eatery in Chelsea Market paying attention on family recipes and fresh ingredients. We can’t get enough of the adobada quesadillas, crispy corn tortillas topped with juicy strips of pork and refreshing pineapple. And, of course, we can’t resist any of the tacos.
