NYC Food Truck Tour!! Cheap Eats in USA’s Expensivest City!!

this is literally two pounds of food right here and she said she puts her whole foot in it [Music] in this video we're exploring street food in New York City I know you're asking Sonny is this the best food in New York City no it's the food that's closest to my hotel right now we're in Manhattan last time I was here I was very poor I did not enjoy it this time I made it big if I want to go buy a falafel from a food truck I can finally afford to do it the purpose of this video is to get a general sense of what types of food you can expect to see when you're here in New York City behind me our first victim this place is called Express halal food as you guessed it they probably don't have a lot of pork items I'm gonna take a look now at their menu and see what they do have oh so right here we have a visual menu most of these are Middle Eastern type items kebabs fish Falafel lamb all of those meats over rice as well when it comes to the prices I was thinking the prices might be expensive like they were in the Winter Market but looking here the most expensive thing is only 12 bucks I think that's why these are popular here it's hot it's on the spot and it's very affordable let's get started okay sir could I please have the lamb over rice and a kebab what about Falafel okay boom meal one this looks extremely filling and the price is not that much lamb over rice nine dollars falafel sandwich seven dollars very affordable and actually more food than one person requires I did try to get the Kebab they said there are no more kebabs for today they're all sold out so I got the thing that's never sold out the Falafel the Falafel is essentially a bunch of grains and Seasonings shaped into a ball and fried generally speaking they're not my favorite but just like high school girls never did for me I want to give it a chance good seasoning tastes like some Middle Eastern spices it had some sauce on it already that helps a lot it doesn't taste way too dry it's got a pretty good amount of flavor to it so I think when it's mixed with all the other ingredients in here it's gonna be pretty good I was recently in Istanbul they basically invented the [ __ ] Kebab there they're using a vastly different type of bread this is like a pita bread then I see I think there's Jalapenos in here tomato lettuce I asked for no cucumber and then a white sauce kind of like a white garlic cream sauce that goes on there too it's kind of like they took all the Middle East and maybe Greece put it in a blender and this came out [Music] overall delicious what I love most is the bread the bread here is so soft and pillowy and just so white and void of any nutrition the inside because of all the flavors you can't really tell about you're not eating meat [Music] the pigeons will take care of it this is lamb over rice so we have green olives jalapenos there's a salad here this is a kind of a long grain basmati rice it's very pretty this Fork is far too small for this task at hand [Applause] oh my God this kind of lamb is like my absolute favorite and it's hard to find anywhere else in the world it's very deeply seasoned lamb it's soft it's succulent it's just slathered in this garlicky yogurt and then on the side you've got a salad to cut the heaviness here you can see the red stripes yes if I wanted spice and I wanted to film him doing something so I said yes and probably I'm going to regret that the fact that this is nine bucks considering we're in New York I was expecting the prices to be a little bit more shocking but this is very affordable that's a lot of food and it's hot it's fresh it's delicious it could be argued that New York City is the best Food City in all the USA and I think that would be because this place is a Melting Pot of different cultures I would guess that maybe half the people coming here don't even know what Halal meats they just know that this is good food and they're absolutely right all right we pulled up at our second location here our second food truck this time not a Halal at all this is the Mexican theme the place is called techiria Regina who's Regina they have 15 menu options they've got Tortas they've got meat over rice they have tacos they have quesadillas they have nachos a little bit of everything some of it seems like Tex-Mex and some of it seems like real authentic Mexican even some food I think I remember from Oaxaca so I'm gonna Step Up check out the menu and order some food let's do it all right so check it out right here we have the right here we have the meat selection steak chicken salted beef but then they have tongue they have sausage fried pork spicy pork and pork ears oh look an a rating there must be some clean food all right let's go order and let's see can I please have hung tacos oh it's heartbreaking how about chorizo and pork ear tacos you have Mexican Coke all right what's fun about ordering here is that they don't actually put the prices on the menu and so when you get the bill you're like uh wow really and they're like that's absolutely right so for three tacos it's 12 bucks until three soap face is 12 bucks so uh three tacos three tacos and three salt paste that's 36 bucks right here we have this Opus take a look at that so I thought they always had to be beanie and vegetarian apparently not is that cheese [Music] what is pineapple so we have the Pressed Masa it's kind of like a very thick tortilla but even thicker on top of that we've got some of the beans and then we have some meat I think we put on salted beef then there's this type of Mexican parmesan cheese essentially reveal yourself to the world little sope you don't need to be hidden behind a veil of lettuce oh yeah I mean it's literally steaming it's very satisfying the pineapple threw me off but I don't mind it oh the rats will take care of that don't worry I like the base here it's thick it's almost kind of doughy the beans on top have a nice flavor super Savory the meat is big juicy and then the cheese on top offers a little bit of sharpness to bring it all together here they do not have Mexican Coke it said that Mexican Coke is made with real sugar cane whereas an American Coke is made with high fructose corn syrup fortunately they have Diet Mexican Coke which is made with real aspartame are these jokes Landing no two types of tacos chorizo and pig Eerie sadly they ran out of tongue these tongue in high demand I don't feel like it is this is a literally two pounds of food right here I was kind of scoffing at the idea of this being 12 but now that I'm holding it in my hand I can see that that's a reasonable price you could see that delicious chorizo on the bottom we've got onions tons of cilantro you always have to hit it with a little bit of lime oh yeah he's making me wish I was in Mexico again it has a ton of flavors on top the cilantro is delicious and it tastes like some salsa verde on there too the chorizo it's juicy some kind of chorizo can be kind of gritty and dry this is not that right here we have the pig ear it's tough because they've covered most of it here with the avocado and the cilantro but you can see little pieces of white that is literally Pig ear cartilage one of my favorite Parts about getting tacos in Mexico is that literally any meat can go on a Taco Taco's are just a way of life they're a way of eating food they're a way of eating protein and so in Mexico you can get brains you can get balls you can get anything you can imagine except for maybe placenta okay let me know in the comments down before if you've ever heard of placenta tacos I will find them and I will try them hit it with a little bit of lime oh wow that is some of the most damy tacos I've ever had in my life super Porky intense flavor it's kind of gluey too it's the fat that's coming off there has been rendered down so much it's kind of like sticky on your lips definitely these ears have been boiling or braising for a long long time and they're almost gummy the texture of the cartilage it's not even Snappy or crunchy it's just very soft at this point but the pig ear is not for someone who messes around don't look at that the rats are off duty right now they're coming soon boom we've come to our third location I can't figure out what the theme is of the place behind me it seems like they have every different type of food I'm looking at the menu I'm seeing Heroes I'm seeing hot dogs Chicken Kebabs I'm saying hi except for my car yeah is that okay you don't like I was gonna order some food too okay all right so uh I just met the owner of the cart very nice guy he said uh don't film his cart he doesn't like his car being filmed so anyways I've heard that when you come to New York you absolutely have to try the hot dogs there's something special about the water here and when you boil you gave you the middle finger in the background when you boil those hot dogs those delicious wieners in this clean New York water it gives you a flavor like you can't get anywhere else I'm gonna order some now and we're gonna step to the side far away from this car to eat it because this guy seems uh stressed out to say the least Welcome to New York okay boom we had a slight mishap with our first hot dog guy he said he ran out of hot dogs I'm like sir no friends I'm looking at a mound of hot dogs here and he said no I'm not dogs get out of here turns out there's a hot dog guy right next to that hot dog guy hot dog special on the go basically two bucks per dog I gotta tell you the dog more thin than I expected it is a thin member classic New York style one strip of ketchup one strip of mustard I can do it with a fatter dog but the meat to bread to Sauce ratio very nice it's pretty much perfect very juicy for two bucks not disappointing not to the capture my heart no for that gentleman who gave me the finger when I was filming just a minute ago he captured my heart for me that's my first real Taste of New York and I kind of loved it I don't think he did but cheers it tastes like bitterness I love it because of that right there is an electrical generator you can see on the side of the truck they describe their food as being the best in Harlem the menu here looks gorgeous but you've got fried fish chicken turkey shrimp roasted pork plus candy yams collard greens and more I'm so excited to try this out the only issue is I just spoke to Arnie the owner here she's had this truck for two years and she said they're pretty much out of food for the day so I said please go in the kitchen if there's anything you can scrape together I will happily eat it and try it out let's see what she comes up with [Music] [Applause] I can't wait to try it out thank you so much boom it's still pretty loud because of that generator right here we have an amazing meal our special potato salad this is the macaroni and cheese that's been baked and then right here we have some beautiful looking fried shrimp Arnie very nice lady if I had to compare Arnie to the guy that gave me the middle finger from the hot dog stand I gotta say Arnie a bit nicer let's start with this special potato salad she said her sister makes it it's her recipe and she said she puts her whole foot in it now I've never heard this expression and I don't think she meant literally but that is a unique way of making potato salad mm-hmm it's real Tangy they got the mayonnaise but they got a lot of pickle in there too it's a little bit sour and it tastes delicious guys this food is heavy not heavy greasy or oily this is two to three pounds of food right here I'm such a lover of mac and cheese around the world and right here take a look at how this cheese has kind of coagulated and crisped up on top of these noodles that is going to be delightful that is really good there is no shortage of cheese this is an abundance of dairy goodness the noodles are not too soggy it's like there's cheese inside and cheese on top and it works together so well this is probably one of my favorite top two oven baked mac and cheeses I've ever had that's good but last of all we have these shrimp men look how big these are they are deep fried they are dusted with seasoning powder and they're just gigantic I got big hands and these are making my hands look small big small medium they're big shrimp that's my main point oh yeah amazing seasoning super Savory salty it's got a nice crunch to it it just pops with shrimpy juices that is excellent that is a beautiful tartar sauce it smells so Tangy already give it a lot of bit of dip I love this next time I want to come back I want to try the rest of the menu because she has so many items on there and by the looks of it they don't do anything small here it's all on a massive scale these shrimp are even more Juiced up than the liver King that is Arnie and Ebony right here with the soul food coming hard coming fast super delicious [Music] oh guys that is the end of the video I
